What guests think
Across recent reviews of The Pines Motel and Cottages, travellers consistently praise very clean, updated rooms and friendly, welcoming hosts, noting quiet grounds, water views, and a handy location for exploring North Rustico, Cavendish, and PEI’s north shore.
Kitchens or kitchenettes, a pool, BBQs and a shared fire pit are appreciated extras, and many find the property good value and pet friendly. Common drawbacks include small bathrooms, occasional noise or thin walls, intermittent front-desk presence requiring a call, minor exterior upkeep needs, and, being by the water, some bugs. Overall, expect a clean, well-kept, good-value base for enjoying PEI’s north shore.

Super lovely hosts! Very happy to greet us and was always cheerful. Lovely rooms that were well taken care of, with extra blankets for colder nights or people! They also had a free use fire pit with wood and a lighter for us to use, which was so lovely! If we end up back in the area, we will for sure stay here again!

A nice convenient place to stay, in good condition and well kept. Only issues I had were over powering scent in our room from cleaner and a lot of sand flies from the water location which is not a direct issue with the motel but should be noted.

The location of The Pines is great. Close to North Rustico(walkable if you're up for it) and a nice view of the bay. The check-in process was easy and the person working was so friendly(she may have been the owner). Rooms were nice and clean, no carpet which is a big plus. Coffee maker, fridge and microwave and real coffee cups were a nice touch. Although the bathroom was small, it was clean and had all I needed except maybe a shelf for toiletries and a shelf in the tub/shower area. Our room had two comfortable beds and two chair but another nightstand or small bedside table would've made it a bit more convenient. There was a restaurant across the road with what looked like a lovely waterside patio(we didn't eat there) and several good dining options within a 5-10 minute drive. All in all it was a great experience and I'd recommend The Pines to anyone staying in the area.

There’s never anyone in the office but if you ring them, someone will show up shortly. We stayed in a cottage and it was not great. There were birds nesting in the eaves that were disruptive. Our cottage was attached to another and neighbours were very noisy. Picked the property for the big yard so we could play with our dog and were told we had to keep him leashed at all times - no throwing a ball or frisbee for us. I understand it’s policy but if there’s no one around? One night was so noisy we couldn’t sleep. We were offered a move to the motel and refunded that night, which was appreciated. The motel room was much nicer. In Rustico and close to most attractions. Food at Captains Cove across the road was very good.

Pros: air conditioning is quiet and working good. Cons: we have to phone the receptionist no matter check-in or check-out as she is always outside of the office. And that phone number is different from the number we can find on Expedia. It made me confusing. There are not many places you can put your staff. Tables are limited and small.

Lovely, quiet quaint motel overlooking water. Room with kitchenette was very nice! Muskoka chairs outside door for morning coffee. Larry is super friendly and helpful host. Just to note if you are going shortly, there is currently no office sign and a bit of construction on nearby bridge. Just go in and park and go to Suite 1 for check in. Great location close to Cavendish and their attractions and an easy drive to many coastal beaches as well as Charlottetown.

It was clean and comfortable. It was a little far away from restaurants. I wish it had a better view of the water. Overall nice place to stay.

The location of The Pines is great. Close to North Rustico(walkable if you're up for it) and a nice view of the bay. The check-in process was easy and the person working was so friendly(she may have been the owner). Rooms were nice and clean, no carpet which is a big plus. Coffee maker, fridge and microwave and real coffee cups were a nice touch. Although the bathroom was small, it was clean and had all I needed except maybe a shelf for toiletries and a shelf in the tub/shower area. Our room had two comfortable beds and two chair but another nightstand or small bedside table would've made it a bit more convenient. There was a restaurant across the road with what looked like a lovely waterside patio(we didn't eat there) and several good dining options within a 5-10 minute drive. All in all it was a great experience and I'd recommend The Pines to anyone staying in the area.

We stayed one night at The Pines and it was great! Very reasonably priced, the rooms were clean, comfy beds, and they had a very reasonable pet fee ($10). The staff we encountered were super friendly as well. Oh! And be sure to check to out the bakery down the street!

There’s never anyone in the office but if you ring them, someone will show up shortly. We stayed in a cottage and it was not great. There were birds nesting in the eaves that were disruptive. Our cottage was attached to another and neighbours were very noisy. Picked the property for the big yard so we could play with our dog and were told we had to keep him leashed at all times - no throwing a ball or frisbee for us. I understand it’s policy but if there’s no one around? One night was so noisy we couldn’t sleep. We were offered a move to the motel and refunded that night, which was appreciated. The motel room was much nicer. In Rustico and close to most attractions. Food at Captains Cove across the road was very good.

Es war wunderbar. Schöner Blick auf den See. Besser als in Charlottetown zu übernachten und es ist nur ca. 30 Minuten weiter weg. Leider kein Frühstück. Es gab viele Mücken.

Motel bien situé à 10 minutes de Cavendish. Nous avons apprécié la dimension de la chambre, la propreté, l’accueil et les recommandations des hôtes, la piscine et les excellents restaurants de North Rustico à proximité. Nous recommandons.

Great spot near North Rustico. Perfect for exploring the north coast beaches. Close to restaurants & North Rustico harbour. Room was clean and quiet, staff were very friendly and helpful.

Good place and great price. Downside is that everything in Rustico and Cavendish seems to shut down early after the July/August peak season. We couldn't find anywhere to serve us with food after 7.30pm. Overpriced Fisherman's wharf lobster suppers with big salad bar wouldn't serve us at 7.35pm and Blue Mussel Cafe on the wharf was busy and only accepting reservations. Nothing in Cavendish by the time we got there around 8pm. This is LM Montgomery Anne of GG country. A hub of PEI tourism. They really need to serve those tourists better. We went hungry that night. Wonder if they starved orphan Annie..?

The owner was very generous with his time. We wanted a taxi and there was none available and he offered to drive us. Very impressive. Would go again.
