Spectacular ocean views surround this inn. Pleasant hosts and very good homemade breakfast completed this as a perfect package when looking for accommodations in PEI .

The inn is on a stunning piece of property overlooking the ocean with beautiful views both in and out of the inn. The owners of the inn are incredibly kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious!. We loved our room. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and well-furnished. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

The innkeepers were fabulous -- welcoming, attentive, helpful, great and interesting conversationists. Our stay was exemplary in every way. We dined on-property and our meals was likewise fabulous. The location is wonderful -- awesomely scenic. We regretted we stayed for two days -- three would be allowed more time to explore PEI.

Amazing zen renewal

Absolutely beautiful place. The owners, room and view were very nice. Food was amazing, and the sunrise on the bluff was unquestionably the most beautiful view ive ever seen. The road to the inn was long and muddy. But if you need to relax and recharge you emotional battery this place is it.

Absolutely stunning location and every bit as breathtaking as the pictures. My friend and I arrived late and got a call from Dave who left us a nice note and instructed us how we could let ourselves in. We stayed in room 5 which had a Queen and twin bed and a partial ocean view. What we loved: extremely clean, home-like atmosphere, lovely plentiful breakfast, cliffside location with stunning views, so quiet and peaceful, the perfect place to take a retreat! Dave was also a welcoming host who went out of his way to make things right when our luggage was mixed up with another guest’s and we had to drive to a nearby motel to get it back. What could be better: when you walk in, you are asked to leave your shoes on the rack and don house slippers from a basket of shared, used slippers. It would have felt cleaner and more hygienic to have a pair of new disposable hotel slippers for each guest. There was also no conditioner provided in the bathroom so we had to go without. The sheets on the Queen were lovely and smooth but the sheets on the twin were a bit rough for my taste.

Disliked: Staff & service

I'm giving the Inn two stars, because it has a lovely location with a beautiful view. Apart from that, this is a very noisy property where sleep is hard to come by. The bedroom walls are paper thin, through which every sound from other guests (banging doors, running water, bathroom fans, conversations) can be heard loud and clear. Sleep was hard to come by. Then there's the officious owners who love to boss you around: "No shoes allowed indoors!" "No hats allowed at breakfast!" "Don't sit there, that's a table for three, not two!" If you enjoy this kind of treatment while on vacation, you'll love this place!

My wife and I had a magical time at JSI. Not only were Mel and Dave incredibly welcoming, but we had some fantastic conversations over wine with the other Inn guests. Their cat and 2 dogs bring addional charm and warmth to the property. The cat even accompanied us on our evening walk! Dinner and breakfast were both delicious and hearty. The view from our room faced the sunrise and had an incredible moon view in the evening! The sound of the ocean waves and wind were beautiful. We did read a recent review about hospitality for those under 50… we are both under 50 and were treated with respect and kindness. A beautiful Inn, with beautiful folks! Only regret is not staying longer!!!

If you are under the age of 50 be prepared to be treated like a second class citizen. To be clear if we could rate the one employee we encountered, a lovely woman who checked us in and spoke with us like human beings several times we would give the staff/service 5 stars. At least she greeted us! The owner Melanie didn't even raise her head. We felt unwanted from the moment we walked in to the point we wanted to leave and forfeit our money. Unfortunately the owner is a pretentious and condescending woman who seemed to have forgotten we paid $667 for 2 nights. My husband sat down for breakfast and was told to remove his hat, like we were dining at a fine dining establishment. Michelin-star dining it was NOT. Beware this is advertised as an Inn but is more like a shared rooming house. There are no microwaves, bar fridges or TVs in the rooms. It is a large home roomed out and ideal for 50+ adults who look rich. Funny thing is, my husband and I certainly aren't poor and had we been treated like paying clientele instead of children, we may have returned and/or referred others. The view is gorgeous there. That is the only positive we have to add. Sadly because we were ignored and made to feel unwelcome by the owner, the only time we spent what we over-paid for was to sleep. Next time we visit PEI we will pay the same amount for a proper hotel with owners who treat ALL CLIENTS with respect and care.

Exceptional, delightful!

Staying at the Johnson Shore Inn truly felt like a home away from home. We especially enjoyed winding down each day in the cozy dining room, savouring delicious meals and great conversations with fellow guests. Our room was beautifully decorated, peaceful, and offered a perfect place to relax. The breakfast was enormous and delicious! The setting is stunning—perched on red cliffs with breathtaking sunsets every evening. Mel and Dave are fantastic chefs, so be sure to include at least one dinner during your stay (we were lucky to enjoy three!). A special highlight was the evening we were treated to oysters and bubbly before dinner—such a thoughtful touch. The spacious dining area offers individual tables for each party, so there's no need to worry about communal seating if that’s not your style. Don’t hesitate to book this charming inn—you’ll arrive as guests and leave feeling like part of the family.
