Afterglow Cottage PEI

Well located near the beaches. Big comfortable house

Between 4-5 stars.

Overall this is a great cottage. It’s well stocked, very kid friendly, with a lovely view. Definitely one of the nicest places our family has stayed.

A few picky things: the deck furniture is bolted to the deck in front of the windows, so the windows don’t open properly, my husband found the master bed uncomfortable, and although overall it was quite clean a few things were missed (lots of pet fur in the rug, moldy coffee grounds in the coffee pot). It might have been nice to have some extra sheets to change the beds, and we needed to buy a few small staples like oil and sugar - but almost everything we needed was there otherwise.

The worst part of this place was actually paying for it. Ken is very friendly and accessible…. But only accepts e-transfers. Credit cards give some consumer protection, and when you’re used to that it can be a bit nerve wracking to instead just send a large sum of money to an email address. Ken didn’t give me a receipt, either…. So I requested one, and requested again, and again, until finally, *6 weeks* after I paid the deposit he sent me a receipt. Then, when it was time to pay the remaining balance, I sent Ken a text telling him it was coming and telling him the password for the etransfer. Again no receipt, but he replied ‘thanks’. When we got to the island, Ken called my husband and told him the balance was still unpaid and asked him to send it (again)! Quickly sorted out, he ‘found’ the record a few minutes later. So it was fine in the end, just uncomfortable from my perspective.

Great cottage!
