Welcome to our oceanfront beach house located at North Lake, Prince Edward Island, the Tuna Capital of the World.

This very spacious PEI cottage sleeps 12 and is semi-wheelchair accessible. If your party is large or small you’ll still have the cozy feeling of home.  The beach house is right at oceans edge with stairs to the water for your walks along the beach or that refreshing dip into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Picturesque North Lake harbour is only a walk down the road where you can watch the tuna fishermen bring in their 800 to 1000 lb blue fin tuna fish. Even better go out on a tuna charter and catch your own blue fin tuna to brag about!

Although you are near the eastern end of the island, which is considered rural Prince Edward Island you are still close to amenities such as grocery stores, hospital, craft shops, fresh seafood, and island cuisine. Besides the beautiful beach out your door there are 7 other beaches for you to explore.  The Singing Sands beach is only 10 minutes away and considered the nicest beach on the island.  It is called the “singing sands” for a reason… as you walk on the sands you will hear it sing.  Also, it is a popular spot for the visitors and locals to swim and jump off the bridge to let the tides take you out to the sandbar.

If you like to explore and keep busy there are all kinds of things to see and do close to the beach house.  The island is known for the lighthouse landmarks and 5 minutes away you can climb to the top of the East Point Lighthouse to see the breathtaking vista of the island.  It is also where the tides of the Norththumberland Strait and the Gulf of St. Lawrence meets and in a storm it is impressive with the action of the waves and surf that spin off the crashing together.  Are you a biker, walker or jogger then the Confederation Trail is what you should experience? Not far from the cottage is the Confederation Trail, which is a biking and walking trail that goes from one end of the island to the other.  Elmira Train Station Museum is where the end of  the line is located it is where the train of PEI ended before the tracks were picked up and the walking biking trail was made for everyone to enjoy.

If you are a golfer then you will think you’ve struck it rich…. There are 26 golf courses on the island and some of the finest in Canada.  The government courses are Brudenell, Dundarave, Crowbush, and Mill River although you will have to travel an hour to 3 of them it will be worth the drive.  Beside these courses there is a 9 hole in Souris and 3 other courses in eastern PEI.  Island cuisine is a must when you come to the island considering we have such fresh seafood not to mention the fresh beef and vegetables that you’ll find at the Farmers Markets or the roadside vegetable stands.  If you come in May and June you can taste the fresh lobsters that you can find at any wharf during the season.  After the season closes the lobster can be found at the fishermen market or the plants.

During your stay at this PEI Beach House you will experience breathtaking sunsets … Beautiful!!! Take a look at BigWater Adventures TV Video done when they stayed at the house

Area Information

Local Attractions:
The Redstone Beach House is located in eastern PEI where we are famous for the 50+ beach, Hills and Harbours, red heritage roads and picturesque vista around every corner not to mention the Tuna Capital of the World…North Lake!
The Gulf of St. Lawrence is right out your door and minutes from the beach house is the North Lake Harbour, which is the Tuna Capital of the World. The beach in front of the property is a white sand beach for you to enjoy. During your stay you will experience magnificent sun rises and sun sets over the ocean with the fishing boats scattered across the vista. Lobster season in this area is May and June then the fishing charters start up where you can try your hand at jigging. Once late August arrives so does the blue fin tuna! If you get the chance to hook up a tuna they are incredible strong and can take hours to land. Close to the beach house is the Elmira Train Station museum. This is where the train would turn around and head back across the island. The last train to run on Prince Edward Island was Oct. 25th, 1969. The tracks were lifted and are now called the Confederation Trail where you walk or ride your bike across the entire island. In the winter there are parts that are designated for snowmobiles and other sections that are cleared for those that like to walk or cross country ski. Also, only minutes from the beach house you will find the East Point Lighthouse where you can walk to the top and get a 360 degree view of the area. As you travel towards the seaside town of Souris you will find the Basin Head Beach. It is listed the number one beach in Canada and number 2 in North America. Locals refer to it as the “singing sand” beach! Be sure to scuff your feet as you walk the miles of white sand beach and dunes and you will hear the sands sing… The seaside town of Souris is the second largest town in eastern PEI. There are lots of local shops where you will find local art, fresh fish, local farm products, grocery stores, liquor store, hospital, pharmacy’s and much more. In the eastern area you will find many beaches some white sand, red sand and of course our singing sands. They say that in eastern PEI you are never father then 15 minutes from a body of water. As you tour the eastern region you will see many dirt roads that most likely will take you to one of them. Take the time to explore you will be surprised by the vista’s that can’t be seen from the main roads.
