Whether you want to visit Avonlea and walk the beaches of Lucy Maude Montgomery...We offer a family-friendly cottage in a family-friendly area. Please understand we cannot accept bookings from parties consisting of adults only. We rent only to families. Northern Knights is a beautiful 3 bedroom cottage just steps from the beach on Prince Edward Island, Canada. We have earned a three-star rating from Canada Select. Located in Green Gables Shore (Queens County), this cottage was completely renovated in 2011. Formerly one of 'Murphy's Sea View Cottages', this spacious gem is nestled in a small group of cottages and overlooks the ocean. Conveniently located in north central PEI, the cottage is a short drive from Kensington and Summerside and is close to shopping, dining, and attractions. Whether you want to visit Avonlea and walk the beaches of Lucy Maude Montgomery, learn Celtic dancing, take the lighthouse tour, or feast on PEI mussels and lobsters, Northern Knights is the place to stay. Northern Knights underwent a complete facelift in 2011. We began by adding a third bedroom that faced the sea. The new bedroom has great views through its picture window along with a smaller window on each side wall. Each of the other bedrooms also received new windows, making them brighter and compliant with Provincial fire codes. We removed the old wood burner and replaced it with modern propane heat to take the chill off on a cool summer evening. We expanded the kitchen by installing all new cabinets, countertops, and a breakfast bar. And we brought it into the 21st century by adding a dishwasher, a stacked washer/dryer unit, and a water filtration system. And what would a new kitchen be without a new bath?! We replaced the toilet, sink, vanity, and flooring. All of the additions necessitated upgrading the plumbing and the electrical system throughout. We finished with new flooring, a new ceiling treatment, a fresh coat of paint, new furniture, and all new curtains, linens, and bedding. Flat screen TV and Internet video streaming are new. View our photos at our web site and imagine yourself strolling on the beach, frolicking in the ocean, or sitting on the deck watching the sunset over the sea. And finish the day as the northern lights rise in the night sky over Northern Knights. Licensed by PEI Ministry of Tourism, License #: 2202003 Tourist License / Licencia de turismo N °: 2202003More

We stayed 4 nights at this seaside cottage with friends. Plenty of room for us all. Lovely beach right down the road at this location. Kitchen was stocked with dishes. We picked up some salt and pepper for the next guests. The filtered drinking water was clearly identified. We went to a restaurant near by after finding the menu in the binder. Great recommendation. Perfect spot to relax, star gaze and explore PEI.

This guest wrote “five-star” comments but gave only three stars without explanation. I sent the guest an email requesting an explanation, but have not received a reply. If there was something they didn’t like I can’t do anything about it unless they tell me what it is. It us unfair to property owners for guests to write a rave review, then assign less than five stars without even a private explanation.

We loved our stay at this cottage. It had all the equipment and the facilities needed for our family of 4 and the bedrooms are very confortable. The cottage is very close to the beach (great by the way), which was what we were especially looking for. It's a very quiet place and we felt like home right away. The manager was very helpful and kind. Our daughters said they preferred this cottage to the five stars hotel in Mexico we had last year! :) We had a perfect vacation in this cottage and we would surely visit again. Thanks a lot Jim!

We had a great time! Everything we needed was there. We have an almost 2 year old and a 4 year old. There was a booster seat there that we weren't expecting to help make meal times easier as well as plastic dishes etc. There was a fan and nightlight in every room that made it more like home for them. Just a short walk down to the beach! The manager of the property was very helpful and kind. We would definitely stay here again the next time we get back to PEI.

We had a great time at this beautiful cottage on lovely PEI! Everything was new and clean, and it was so nicely decorated but still kid-friendly. We loved the beach and relaxing in the cottage away from it all. We were easily able to get to lots of attractions and places on the island - Cavendish, Summerside, North Cape, all of the Green Gables places, etc. The beds and furniture were very comfortable so we could really relax and there was plenty of space. As my son said, it really felt like home and cozy (also he loved that the beach was right there). Another thing I liked is that the cottage also has a washer and dryer and dishwasher and it is stocked with many supplies so I did not have to run out to the store for things we forgot. We loved it!

The cottage was clean, spacious and very well stocked. We loved the box of kids toys (For outside) and left a few extras behind. We didn't use the kitchen much as we travelled most of the days, but it looked to have everything we would have needed. We used the dishwasher and washer/dryer with no issues. There are many windows on all sides of the building so we had a good breeze going through on the hotter days/nights. The wifi was fine but the Roku was spotty (we restarted multiple times during the week to get netflix to work). I think this might have been due to the use of unblock.us causing issues? We were relying on netflix ability to keep our kids happy sometimes and were disappointed with that. Luckily there was lots to do outside to keep them busy instead! The location of this cottage is phenomenal. Nice central location allowed us to take day trips with the kids. Loved the views and the beach!! Great sunsets/sunrise and we even watched the meteor shower from the deck one night. We had an amazing time in PEI and loved this cottage! Thanks for a great family vacation!

Stayed for three nights at this immaculate cottage. Very roomy and everything you'll need is there. The cottage was extremely clean. The beach is about a 5 minute walk away. Beautiful beach! The location is a bit remote which makes it a great getaway. We traveled into Kensington (about 15 min) for dinner in the evenings. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with a glass of wine!

This cottage is awesome, well equipped, well maintained and super clean. It is very close to the beach in a very quiet environment. It has everything you need for a few days of vacation. Cavendish attractions are very close and Kensington is at 15 minutes drive.

Having previously stayed in Sea View 8 years ago, I knew this location had immediate access to a wonderful, quiet North Shore beach area. The cottage itself was excellent: clean, well equipped and spacious (3 bedrooms). Highly recommended for couples or families. When I return to the island one day, I intend to stay at Northern Knights again.

About the neighborhood
Northern Knights Sea View Cottage is located on a former farm. It is 200 meters from a beatiful red-sandy beach that stretches for kilometers east and west. One can clearly see the ocean and can both hear and see the lobster boats in season. While public transportation is not avialable, the cottage has a two-car driveway and is a short drive from Kensington and Summerside and is close to shopping, dining, and attractions. You can visit Avonlea and walk the beaches of Lucy Maude Montgomery, learn Celtic dancing, take the lighthouse tour, go deep-sea fishing, golfing or feast on PEI mussels and lobsters. Charlottetown, the provincial capitol, is 45 minutes by car. The cottage is located less than 30 minutes from Cavendish, site of the famouse Cavendish Music Festival held in July. There are approximately 35 widely-spaced cottages in the area.
Getting around
No public transportation.
Access
Car required
How to get there
When I come to the island, I drive to Kensington, then go north on Route 101. Rt 101 will 'T' with Route 20. Turn left (west) on Rt 20. Rt 20 parallels the shore on your right. You will drive through Park Corner. Next, you will pass the Sea View town hall on the right. It's a very small white building with a green roof. As you get close, you will pass Coulsin Rd on the right. The next road is Pickering. Turn right on Pickering. (If you cross the Darnley bridge, you've gone too far.) After about one kilometer, the asphalt will end and the road will be gravel. Proceed straight ahead and turn left on Partridge Follow Partridge as it bends right then left to Garden Lane. The cottage is the fourth one from the shore and is clearly marked.
