There's a path to Prince Edward Island National Park and the ocean right from the hotel. It's a short walk to get there.

We stayed two nights in a small twin room in the main building with comfortable beds, clean bathroom, okay breakfast and super friendly stuff. The location was perfect to visit the Cavendish area.

Pleasant stay at Shining Waters in Cavendish!
We had a pleasant overnight stay in the autumn off-season. Our room and the Inn were very quiet, especially with few other guests. It is an old building with some oddities of slightly sloping/uneven floors. However, this just gave it more character and it seems to fit very well with the Green Gables history of the Cavendish area. It was extremely convenient to get to all the places we wanted to visit in the area. The person at the desk was also very helpful answering a couple questions we had.

The location was wonderful. The room was well appointed. The property is very charming on the outside but sadly, the main areas on the inside are looking a little tired.
