A few words from our guests: "We were thrilled to pull into this jewel of a cottage and one with such a breath-taking view at the end of what seemed to be an endless two day journey to get here. We have decided that the Howe Bay view is one of the most beautiful we've seen after vacationing in the most beautiful sceneries in 3 continents... We hope to come back some day. Thank you Lawrence and Jovette." Susan and Alain Kundycki; Bruxelles, Belgium
"This little piece of heaven was idyllic!! We arrived tired, worn out and run down. We are leaving energized, refreshed and renewed. Unlike most of the other visitors, we were much less adventurous... I think the farthest we went was either Montague in one direction and Basin Head in the other. Truth be told, we really felt everything we needed was right here, in our own backyard... Best beach - right outside the door at low tide. OK, so Basin Head is spectacular & worth a visit just to get the taste of PEI, but at low tide, whether you take the canoe across the little channel, or you turn left at the bottom of the steps and walk around the point, you have at your disposal miles of sandy sand bars, warm water and NO OTHER PERSON for miles. Heaven! If you have small dogs or small children, the sand bars, separated by ankle + knee high stretches of water, are fantastic for them. They will splash around for hours and you won't worry. Best screened-in porch - right here in this house. We lived there - ate, took cocktails, slept and read. All in all, one of our best holidays. We hope to come back." Alison Fripp & Michel Coderre; Montréal, Québec
"A family escape to Peace & Tranquility. We all would like to thank the Keeler's not only for sharing paradise with us, but for attention & warmth one finds only with family. Sure hope we can return one day." Tom & Colette Graham; Ottawa, ON
"Red dirt road takes us to a cottage with a view that is too beautiful to try to describe. The weather this past week was perfect. Each day we wake to blue sky and clean crisp air. Diamonds sparkled on the water. The tides caused our view to change each time we turned our head. A canoe trip across the bay, the red cliffs in the distance, seals watch our every move, we choose the best shells to take home as a memory. We rest and doze off as we sit on the porch. My brother carves birds out of a stick of driftwood. Biff runs across the yard. We try to read our books, but the view takes our eyes off the page... We loved it here." Connie & Phil Overby; Indiana, PA USA Bruce & Mary Harding; Whitehall, PA USA
"It may be too soon to call and, since this is my first visit to PEI since I was in diaper, I am probably not qualified to judge, but I think that Confederation Bridge has not changed the "unique" character of the Island. In only a week's worth of lazy sightseeing, we kept on coming across odd snippets of Island life. My favourite example was the town of Five Houses. There are twenty-two houses in the town of five Houses! It was great to start so many of our journeys by going through this utter anti-calibrating town. Yet, the other way, in Basin Head, it was enjoyable watching the kids hurl themselves off the bridge into the channel below. The lifeguards appeared to enjoy it, too; so much so that the [NO JUMPING OR DIVING FROM THE BRIDGE] signs were joyfully ignored by all in attendance. A lawyer would need a divining rod to figure out that one! Unfortunately, I will be back at work in Toronto in a few days. With any luck, there will still be a light dusting of Island red on my shoes... Great trip and cottage !" Doug and Laurie Paul; Pickering, ON
"What a fantastic place! We loved every minute of our stay. Gorgeous cottage, gorgeous view, gorgeous sun... This is the first of many stays, we hope!" Elin, Barb, Val, Heather; Fredericton, NB
"The 'summer Home' is a spectacular place to stay while on vacation. It is spacious & comfortable as well as being luxurious. The view of the Bay as well as the rising & lowering of the tide provided much enjoyment for all. We loved our stay & will find it most difficult to continue on our quest to vacation in every province without returning. Thank you. " Elizabeth MacDonald
"SENSATIONAL!! ... Magnificent view, extremely breathtaking... Our days were full of sun all week... Sit quiet & watch the seals come in - 8:00 pm or so... Steve's seafood claimed a small fortune from us from all the visits we made to him: lobsters - 10 or so fresh, millions oysters & clams. Steve's is the best!!! Thanks Jovette for the lobster pots! Ceilidh in Rollo Bay is a must... The cultural experience is all together wonderful. Exactly as I dreamt it would be. The kids even got up to dance!! Howe Point is a place that is definitely a well kept secret... It is wonderful to see this area has not been spoiled by commercialized tourism. We do intend to return. Thank you for sharing this piece of beauty with us!' Sue & Dan Larmand-Ploughman "P.S. Jeff's on North Lake Deep Sea Fishing was fantastic!! Buckets of mackerel, whales & seals, most enjoyable."
"We had a fabulous stay! What a beautiful spot! Your home is fantastic and the location couldn't be better! The kids loved Sally's beach, great for families. Adults enjoyed the fire pit with a glass of wine. Thanks for the fabulous seaside retreat! The Boones; Calgary, AB The Manhas; Halifax. NS
Today is a sad day, as it is time to depart. It has been a delightful 2 weeks, too short a time! Wandering along the shore, crossing to the sand bar ,even tipped the canoe... Oh we had fun! BBQ every evening. A wonderful way to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We will always remember our time at Howe Bay. And our dog loves it here as well! Stu & Sonja + Cruz; Toronto, ON
"Spectacular two weeks spent in this idealistic setting. Our kids could not have enjoyed more the beach with its ever changing tides! The days "hanging around" will be cherished 'til we can return once again to this paradise. Thanks for all your efforts in making this house a fabulous vacation retreat!" Katie Murphy & Christopher Griner; Woods Hole, Massachusetts USA
"We journeyed from Connecticut Stacked with kayaks and bags, A great British family, the Granny and dog! A nirvana we found, the ever changing Howe Bay, For two weeks of holiday, avoiding the fray."
"We hiked and biked to Cable Head and Morell! Enjoyed swimming and kayaking, reading as well. We saw osprey and eagle, plover, harrier and gull, Wildflowers in abundance, Night skies sparkling in their brilliance."
"We wined and dined on seafood so fresh, fish from Steve's that is perfection, "Cow" that is a wow, and Pinkies' marvelous bread and confection. Good restaurants abound, of which Bay Fortune astounds us all, with its wonderful food."
"The gentle red land of P.E.I. gave us welcome, fun and joy. The production of "Green Gables" has made us nearly unable to leave this magical place. We thank you for everything." William, Susie, Emily, Philippe, Alice, Billy & tua; Connecticut, USA
