About our Home
The house was built in the 1870’s for John P. Sullivan, a prominent merchant and farmer in the village of St. Peters Bay.
It is characterized as being influenced by Second Empire architectural styles which include the dominant mansard roof with dormers. In 1915 the home became the Manse for the adjacent Presbyterian (now United) church, until the early 1960’s. The front parlour in the house was a favorite spot for many couples to be married in. Since the late 1990’s it has operated as a Bed and Breakfast welcoming guests from around the world. Points East Coastal Inn is a provincially registered Heritage Place.

About Us
Rodger and Sarah hail from the Town of Almonte, in the beautiful Ottawa Valley in Eastern Ontario; They met in grade 7 attending Naismith Memorial Public School (Almonte is the hometown for Dr James Naismith, Inventor of Basketball !)
Rodger is the youngest of 5 kids, born to Dutch Immigrants who came to Canada in 1953. He grew up in a family of welders and learned the trade at a young age working with his Dad. His background also includes Facility and Health & Safety Management, Construction Management, contracting and home renovations. Rodger has four children – Taylor, Melissa, Ainsley and Zoe, and is proud Opa to Nash, Adaline & Grace.
Sarah is one of four children, with an older brother and sister born in Britain, and herself and younger brother born in Canada, after their parents emigrated from England in 1965. Sarah has spent her work years in hospitality after studying at the School of Hotel and Food Administration at the University of Guelph, then partnered to open a popular restaurant and catering company in 1990 that was featured on The Food Network’s ‘You Gotta Eat Here’ . In 2010 she transitioned into weddings and events, opening a party and event rental company servicing dozens of events each week! Sarah has four amazing sons, Ray, Blake, Austin and Jamie.
Together, Rodger and Sarah look forward to embracing PEI ‘s ‘island way of life’, and St. Peters Bay as their new hometown, and welcoming you into their new home – POINTS EAST COASTAL INN.
