What differentiates the PEI oyster is a clean, salty taste that finishes sweet – a combo unique to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence – and it becomes arguably even more succulent when the temperature drops. That's because as the ocean cools, the oyster's adductor muscle, which holds the shell together, grows stronger, adding a little bit of sweetness to the taste.

The oyster is also at its plumpest right when the cold weather hits, having filtered up to 189 litres of water a day while feeding on plankton until the waters drops to four degrees Celsius. Over the winter, the oyster lies dormant until spring.

"We chose to stay here because we needed a place where we could stay with our dog, but we couldn't have been happier with the site. The house feels brand new, is sparkling clean and very comfortable. It was just two of us and dog (an enclosed back yard was great for him) but the house could have easily slept more, with three bedrooms, two full baths and a large living room. It is on a quiet suburban block but only a 12 minute ride to central Charlottetown."

"Great property. Pool was a bit small, not heated and no whirlpool. Other than that, everything else was excellent!"

"Price is reasonable. If you want to get more towel or clean up the room, you need to inform. Otherwise they will not clean the room. Breakfast was very simple, but okay. There's outdoor pool, good for kids."
