Dalvay was built by an American originally as a summer house (hard to believe it is so large but the Victorians were big on that). It is owned by the province but managed by a private company and they do a good job with a summer only property. The rooms in the main house are rustic but charming and there... More

We wanted to have a different experience then what we were familiar with for our anniversary, so we booked two nights at Dalvay by the Sea.

I stayed at Dalvay twice: once in 1972 and again in 1973. At that time, the place was run by a French couple (husband and wife from Lyons and Geneva). The price was (drum roll, please!) $17/day --- and that INCLUDED three meals a day. The food then was excellent. The rooms were old-fashioned but comfortable. No TV or radio,... More

Thank you for your recent comments regarding Dalvay By The Sea. We believe that Dalvay is the ideal location to disconnect and unwind from the stresses of the world, and though, indeed, there are no telephones in our accommodations, we do offer complimentary wi-fi throughout the resort, along with televisions in our cottages for those who desire to stay connected....

We discovered the Dalvay several years ago and really looked forward to returning for a stay at this beautiful place. What a disappointment. Our $225 room was tiny and outdated with trash in the wastebasket from the previous guests. There was only one night table/reading light, a big minus for those of us who enjoy reading in bed at night,... More

Dalvay by the Sea is perfectly located on the National Seashore of PEI and presents a very elegant exterior. That is the end of the good things we have to stay. For $225 per night, we were stuck in a third floor dormer room (no elevator, tho baggage help available), with "antique" furniture (the door on the dresser did not... More

we were booked into another property for four nites but because of a forced closure(for health reasons) of the property we were booked into this one for two nites and had to then move to Charlottetown to a Holiday Inn Express for the last two nites. The Dalvey is an old fashioned hotel with a very dated look and is... More

If you have ever read my reviews in the past, you will know that I never tell people to stay somewhere, or not to stay somewhere. That's your own choice. I will however give you tips and let you know what to expect. The location is very off the beaten trail, and it is right across the street from the... More

My wife and I just returned from a seven day vacation to Prince Edward Island. We chose to stay at Dalvay By The Sea due primarily to its incredible location (inside the boundaries of the PEI National Park), and the lovely old world style guest house ( luscious wood paneling and three gigantic stone fireplaces on the first floor). These... More

We stayed here for only a night but we loved it here. You can smell the fireplace the second you walk in the door and also the moment you open your room door. The place has a grand and rustic feel to it, which reminded me of the Mohonk Mountain House in NY state. The grounds are really nice and... More
