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 $99 Cdn., all rooms have private baths and our prices include
a scrumptious 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.
