Guest Testimonials

Another great stay at the cottage! Great spot to stay while in the Shelburne area.

Fantastic beach, nice neighbors, Bright View Cottage is a great place to unwind and play board games with the kids and star gaze on the balcony with a glass of wine at night!

You have a beautiful cottage, it is very scenic and spacious. Our only
sorrow was that we were busy with our schedules and really couldn't enjoy the view and the
sunshine during the day. Everything was well equipped. We hope to visit again soon. Thank you.

PEI, April 2008

By far one of the best cottages ever rented. We stayed Labor Day weekend and it was an absolutely dream. The weather was perfect. We got to enjoy the beach most days and the evenings were perfect weather for the hot tub and sauna. We knew at the time of booking we would love Beach Heaven. The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil/pot/pan you would need. There were things we forgot to bring and they had it there! The detail they’ve put into this place truly made our stay amazing. We will for sure be back :)
