Hi, I’m Sylvie! Originally from Montreal, I have lived in Prince Edward Island for over 20 years. I am happy to welcome you in French or English.
This is my home — a labor of love that I would love to share with you. I live here year-round, and I am just a few minutes away by car throughout the summer. I think this is the most beautiful place on the Island, and I’m excited to help you discover this little slice of paradise.

Location & Nearby Attractions
Murray River, Prince Edward Island, Canada
Murray River is a quaint town of less than 500 people with a beautiful harbour, the charm of a fishing village, and friendly folks everywhere you go. La Casa is on a main road that is used for regular work commutes, however the house is set back from the street with a spacious driveway and parking area.
Getting around
Having a car is the best way to get around while you are here as there is limited public transportation outside of the bigger city centres. If you love walking or biking, you can hop on the Confederation Trail that stretches across the whole Island.

Kick back and relax on the patio – you’re on vacation! But of course if you’re looking to really experience this part of PEI while you’re here, we have some great recommendations for you. Expand the selections below for a few ideas to get started.

Gas
Fill up at the Esso, just 1 minute from here! You’ll also find gas stations in Montague, Charlottetown, and close to both Borden and Wood Islands for a fuel-up before the bridge or ferry.
Beaches & Lighthouses
Did you know that there are over 50 beaches in Eastern PEI alone?
If you’re looking for a beach away from the crowds, you have many great options. Our recommendation? Head out to Murray Habour to visit Beach Point Lighthouse, and continue around the tip of the island to Guernsey Cove, a truly special beach where you’ll find yourself among locals (or even all by yourself).
Ask Sylvie about her favorite places to collect sea glass.
