45 Steps - The Culinary Beachside Inn

My husband and I sadly only stayed one night at 45 steps but we enjoyed every minute. It is a BEAUTIFUL place with modern, comfortable accommodations. We had a large deck off our room facing the ocean and enjoyed a nice sunset after a day of rain. Barbara and Thomas serve a delicious meal in an ocean facing dining room that offers guests both privacy and community if you’re seeking it. We were there over Canadian Thanksgiving and we were treated like family.

Barbara and Thomas operate a first rate resort in a uniquely special location. Every detail has been elegantly and thoughtfully cared for. Best food we had during our visit to PEI. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious and Barbara's clever cocktails are a treat! Rooms are fabulous, ultra-clean and views incredible. We will definitely be back!

What a special place! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 45 Steps. Yes, it is only 45 steps to the beach. Yes, the food is amazing. And yes, the rooms are cozy, clean and relaxing spaces. We hope to return and enjoy Barbara & Thomas’ hospitality again. Thank you so much for having us.

This is most beautiful place we stayed at in our trip to the Maritimes. The room was beautifully appointed, very modern design. It also had a great view out the sliding door out to the ocean, which is literally 45 steps down to the beach, with gorgeous sunsets and sunrises.
The dining area also had beautiful views out to the ocean. The breakfast included lots of wonderful home-baked goods, cereals, fruit and some meats, as well as juice, tea and coffee.
Our hosts, Barbara and Thomas, were very friendly, and were helpful with suggestions of what to do in the area. We also opted for a dinner at the Inn, with Chef Barbara making us a delicious 3-course meal, with a glass of wine to go with it.
Altogether we had a very enjoyable stay at 45 Steps Inn, and look forward to visiting again!

I cannot overstate the amazing experience we had while at the Inn. Barbara and Thomas have created a warm, beautiful space that makes you feel as if you’re on another planet. Waking up and going to sleep with such views was unforgettable, and something we cannot wait to partake in many times over in the future.

Aside from the impeccable accommodations, the food (both included breakfast, and the optional 3-course dinners) was the best either of us have had, across many, many countries.

Breakfast brought the most delicious pastries and jams/preserves that we looked forward to each morning, and was the perfect start to the day. We were lucky enough to be treated to three very different dinners throughout, where the culinary skills of our hosts were truly showcased. Although we enjoyed classics such as salmon, scallops, and caprese salad, the flavour combinations and cooking techniques were so incredibly perfect; we didn’t want our meals to end. If you do not partake in these dinners, you are truly missing out. To make things extra special, Barbara coordinated to have our “fur babies” watched during dinner time, so we could have a relaxing meal alone (thank you again!)

Semi-related, there is a town about ten minutes away, St.Peter’s, with a trove of cute shops. We had a chance to visit Fritz’s chocolates and the Black & White Cafe, and would absolutely recommend making a visit to both places if in the area.

Kudos to the owners for their talent in hospitality (all facets); you have created an absolute gem. We appreciate all of your hard work, which allowed us to have a truly memorable few days. We cannot wait to return in the future!
