Cottage
This PEI Cottage has a lighthouse to the right, Confederation Bridge to the left with miles of ocean, warm waters and sandy beach in between. The Chelton Cottages are located by a secluded private beach on P.E.I.'s South Shore at the end of Campbell's Shore Road.Cottage has kitchen with Fridge, oven, stove Coffee maker, toaster and microwave. Private bath room with tub and shower. Living area with flat screen tv and satellite. The pet-friendly cottages are equipped with free WiFi access and a furnished patio with propane BBQ's
Nice setting, away from the road, so quiet.
These are clearly aging units, cleaned as best they could be.
Kitchen was stocked good, a few things missing, reported when Nicole came by to check on us.
For the setting and cost, this was a pleasant place to stay, having a Bbq was great.
My only caution would be the musty smell, should one have allergies, as the units have taken on dampness issues, swelled flooring. I have a few family members who could never stay there because of this, so we thought it was important to mention.
For young families, this would be a great place for kids to burn off energy after traveling.

Great Spot at a Great Price!
Our family stayed 3 nights in the adjoining cottage #11. The cottage was simple, comfortable, very clean and had everything we needed and more. If it didn't have it the owner Chad made sure it was on your doorstep in no time. There was lovely laundry facilities with free laundry soap and any little extras the cottages might need. They also came to our cottage with sweet welcome gift. The view from the cottage was beautiful. There were new stairs down the red sand cliff to the beach. The beach was a daily adventure with little ocean creatures and great for walking (I recommend water shoes). The cottages felt very private because of their location and were very peaceful but with lots of green area for the kids to run around. The cottage came with wood so we could also roast marshmallows around the fire at our fire pit. There's an all sand beach close by with life guards and good bathrooms. Shopping in Summerside is only 15-20 minutes away. The only negative thing I can say is there wasn't much to be found on the TV but we weren't there to watch TV. Would stay here again for sure!

Cozy with a fab view
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was cozy and quaint and had everything needed for our stay. The property is well maintained and we appreciated that pets were welcome. The owners are attentive and respond immediately to any issues (in our case TV was out after a storm) and are genuinely interested in ensuring you have a great experience. The laundry room was an added bonus and the view added greatly to our relaxation. We did find the step a little high at the front door, but that is something easily fixed. Thank you to Chad and Nikki for making our 3 days on PEI a wonderful experience

Good cottages, great hosts
These are good basic cottages that are well looked after by the attentive owners: Chad and Nicki Howatt. The cottages are found at the end of a 2km red dirt road that passes by farmer's fields of potatoes or clover. The cottages have plenty of space for young kids and those young at heart to run around, a couple of play structures, horse shoe pits and other games. The cottages are close enough that you meet all your neighbours but far enough apart to have a bit of privacy. The beach is steps away and a recently renovated staircase helps you navigate the red sandstone cliffs to beach that is cosy at high tide and expansive at low tide. Excellent spot to watch the sunset or just gaze out at the Northumberland Straight. The cottages are a short drive from the Confederation Bridge, Summerside and the Chelton Beach Provincial Park.

Comfy accommodations in a beautiful location
I stayed in a three-bedroom cottage for labour day weekend with my sister and brother-in law. We drove over from Halifax mainly to enjoy the warm-water beaches, and we were not disappointed. Our cottage was pretty basic, but was clean and had all the necessary amenities (fridge, dishwasher, coffee maker, dishes, towels, linens, etc). What made it really special is that it was situated just meters away from a beautiful red-sand beach that was lovely for swimming. The water was warm and shallow, so it would be a great place to take kids, too. This is more of a quiet, rural location, but supermarkets etc are only about fifteen minutes away. I would recommend shoreline cottages to someone who is looking to relax, spend time outside, and enjoy the beach. The owner is really nice and accommodated an early check-in for us. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view, nice private beach.
Let me first saying Chad goes out of his way for his customers. I didn't have a frying pan. I asked the man if he had one, next day he shows up with one. Service! I asked the man if he had blankets, bug spray, coffee machine, and a wifi extender....next day I had it! What I'm saying is, this guy cares about the people renting from him. I highly recommend getting wifi extender. Our phones were $5 a day and $1 a minute since we're Americans so we heavily relied on the internet to skype family and to look up local places. Ask for a wifi-extended it made a HUGE difference and it was just essential for a good time.
The view is gorgeous in cottages 6, 7, and 12. No obstructions and just a perfect view of the ocean. Has the nice little kitchen (stove, sink), a shower, a little living room with satellite. Usually I don't like to watch TV but I got a kick out of watching CBC.
Now a few things to know. This place for the price is awesome (especially off season) however, you do need to come equipped with a few things to have a good time. A cookie sheet if you want to cook in the oven and oven mitts. Also, we had expected their to be more restaurants to try but I recommend bringing your own food (especially beef from the U.S.!) because while there is a small little breakfast place nothing is close by or within 20 minutes. The Island has a quota system so a lot of food is local so buy farm fresh corn and farm fresh egg's, you'll be doing yourself a favor. It's delicious! Also bring beach shoes or Sandals! The beach is beautiful and sandy but in some parts it's very rocky and you're feet aren't going to be happy with you if you don't bring something to protect them on the rocky ground! Also mosquito's and houseflies are annoying...not his fault but bring an electric fly swatter and maybe some sort of anti-mosquito stuff (he has a garlic spray he provides but I'm not sure if that works...I think Lemon Balm or Picaridin bug spray would be the most effective for your protection. If you want to do laundry bring quarters. He does have a system to easily change it though, but I'll leave that to him.
In conclusion: Chad gives great service to his customers. The view from cottage 6 is an beautiful ocean view completely unobstructed. The price is killer for off season. Bring the right supplies to have the best time. Bring your own food, good eateries are few and far between. This place is worth it. Great value!

Lovely location! Wish we could have stayed longer!
Really nice location - great views of the ocean! Cottage was fully stocked with dishes, appliances and a brand new gas grill - everything we needed! WiFi worked great and there was a nice TV. There is a small playground area for kids and a horseshoe pit. Would be a fantastic place to stay with kids! There are fire pits at each cottage, although it was too chilly to sit around a fire the nights we were there. Only negative - there was no dishwasher detergent and I'm not sure if the dishwasher worked or not anyway? We just washed dishes by hand.
There is no grocery store nearby, so you need to bring whatever food items you need when you check in.
Owners Chad and Nicki were very nice too! We would definitely recommend a stay at these cottages in PEI!

Nice Cottages, enough space for the family
We went there with our dog and had lot´s of fun. We did some cooking and the kitchen has everything you will need. There where 3 bedrooms and enough space for a family. I can not recommend the laundry, I don´t know if your cloth will be more dirty after washing them there.

Thanks for your review. So Happy yas had fun and thanks for leaving the place so clean. This is the first year Nicki and I have operated the cottages and we do agree the Laundry Room needs a complete renovation and new machines. That will be done when we open back up in the spring we are just waiting until Oct 31 when we close the cottages down for the winter to start it. We love hearing guests reviews and suggestions it helps us Know where we need to improve.
Thanks again for the review

Best place on the Island
Sorry I wanted to write a thank you before this but are summer has been so busy since we had are vacation on the Island. I just wanted to write a note to say how we appreciated the superb service you provided for are family. Are cottage was spacious and clean. We loved having the beach so close. The children have not stopped talking about swimming at the beach and having a bonfire every night. It was the perfect way to end each day. It was a great vacation everything we needed was there! I highly recommend these cottages. We will be back next summer. Thank you again for everything!
