A TRANQUIL RURAL SETTING

Just fifteen minutes from Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island, Waterside Farm Vacation House offers a peaceful vacation in an elegant farm house, surrounded by water and farmland in a tranquil rural setting.

Pownal Bay is large and reaches out past Point Prim, and Governor's Island to Northumberland Strait and on clear days , one can see the blurry outline of Nova Scotia.

The Bay is rich in wildlife, seals and seabirds, which populate two small, near by Islands that can be reached by boat.  There is shellfish along the bay, harvested by fishermen in small dories who comb the mudflats on low tide for the hard shell clams and oysters.
 

The Vacation House remains part of a working farm, a 100 head, cow calf operation where the cows and their black and tan calves graze on lush pastures that encircle the house and run down to Pownal Bay. In the early mornings, they graze along the water's edge, sometimes shrouded in mist and the dark shades of half sunlight.
 

We provide evening truck rides through the pasture and if schedule permits, sailing trips around the bay aboard our 25-foot, C&C "Jeffery Boys".

You can also enjoy peaceful trips out and around the bay in a traditional oyster dory.
