Welcome to our 2008 web site - we look forward to your visit. You'll be joining other new guests and the ever increasing group of returning friends and honeymooners who pick our Inn for a romantic get-away by the sea. Brenda will be cooking-up more wonderful taste treats following winter visits to
kitchens on the pacific coast and culinary sites on Caribbean islands. Everyone is ecstatic with our renovations ( be sure to browse our. ) - the re-designed Cape cottage, the new deck on the Lighthouse cottage; the walkways, the bright colours, the new sitting area on the inn's front porch for that early morning
coffee. We have also made additions to the book, CD and
video collections in the library. The lobster is as sweet as ever, the mussels are big and tender and our friend Kim is still supplying us with his 'gold medal' smoked salmon. The Beach House Inn is open from May 1st. to October 31st. Be sure to enjoy the freshness of spring and the spectacular colours of fall while enjoying our. Come, unpack your bags and stay awhile. Situated on a
quiet, dead-end road on the island's north shore - we're close to everything dozens of beaches, 8
golf courses (within 20 minutes), picturesque fishing villages, lighthouses, cliffs, bird colonies, local museums, the confederation trail, craft
shops and seafood
restaurants. All the Anne of Green Gables sites are within 15 minutes and we're just 45 minutes from the capital city Charlottetown. Visit Summerside and the Evangeline shore (for it's wonderful Acadian culture). Click here for Distinctive Features. If you're a vertical vacationer there's lots to do -
golf, cycle, kayak, hike, go deep sea fishing or para sailing,
shop, visit craft
shops, explore our heritage (there are many museums and galleries), see a play or go to a ceilidh. Come in May or October just to relax and watch the birth of spring or the dazzling show of fall colours. For a romantic outing, borrow a couple of our
bikes and slip up the Cape for a cliffside picnic below the 'Goodwin Woods'we'll pack you a picnic basket. If you prefer a more horizontal holiday, borrow a book or a CD from our library, make yourself a cup to
tea (there's usually some homemade cookies) and put your feet up. There are lots of neat places to hang out - under the 90-yr.old linden trees on the front lawn, on one of our sunny decks, in the big leather chair in the library or just go back to bed. We've added several new
breakfast recipes - come and sample - Hope to see you soon
'The View from my lawn chair is magnificent' I can look up from my book and watch the lobster boats coming home with their delicious catch as the afternoon sun reflects off the mists rising from the beach and the white breakers roll in on the pink sand dunes of Cavendish.'. Staying at the Inn is like walking through the pages of an interior design magazine. Brenda is a professional photographer, cook, who has traveled extensively and used her talents to convert this house into an open, contemporary beach house. Some corners are soft and subtle, others bright and energetic. Artwork is displayed throughout the Inn and tastefully decorated
rooms. Hand-painted Portuguese tiles decorate a wall in the
kitchen, a collection of images from the giant redwood forests of British Columbia, a cloth market sewn together in a Peruvian mountain village, neon, silk
screens and color prints from Ireland and Spain and plates from around the world. Glass blocks distort the light, a white Italian leather couch sits in the morning sun. The views are different and stunning from every window... the linden trees frame the lighthouse that sits above the beach when you look out the
living room window; a small green woods (where the foxes live) breaks the horizon on the Gulf of St. Lawrence when you look out from your sun porch
breakfast table. The row of grand old lindens paints tree shadows on the walls in The Bay
Room and the sun fills the library with a warm glow in the late afternoon. To reach the Beach House Inn turn off the highway at French River, a small fishing village; drive through the harbor up past the
golf course and down the Cape towards the lighthouse and French River beach. The Beach House Inn is tucked in under a row of Linden trees 200 yds. from the beach overlooking the sea and the pink sand dunes of Cavendish beach. It's a small upscale Inn with seven
rooms and two cottages sitting on 2 1/2 acres of lawn on a
quiet dead end road. We feature gorgeous seaviews and scrumptious food. Our
room rates start at $79 Cdn., all
rooms have private
baths and our prices include a gourmet
breakfast on the sun porch overlooking the sea. On occasion Brenda offers her famous candlelight
dinners featuring the region's award winning seafood. These romantic suppers are for our guests by reservation only. Guests and friends return year after year to enjoy a seaside holiday on the Cape. Visit a different beach every day, there are dozens stretching across the northshore. Play a round of
golf, eight of the island's twenty-five courses are within 20 minutes. Borrow one of our
bikes, go sea kayaking, try a half-day deep-sea-fishing
trip, visit a heritage museum or local art gallery, relax with a book in the shade of the linden trees or enjoy a
drink in the summer sun on one of our decks. One of our guests was so taken by the Inn's contemporary style she offered to swap her estate, in the south of France, for a month at The Beach House. Our American guests call Prince Edward Island the Cape Cod of the 50's. Some call French River the French Riviera. We call it the prettiest part of the island. Come and join us by the sea for a romantic holiday and gourmet food.
