The best parts of our stay were proximity to the sandy beach (just a few doors down), and permission to bring the dog. The outside patio area that surrounds the cottage is fenced and gated, which is added security for dogs and kids. Beautiful hedges enclose the back patio area, but no lawn/play space. Thank you!

Great Visit to Prince Edward County

The home is nicely decorated and we appreciated the interesting art collection. Arrival and departure were made very easy for us. It provided a wonderful place to visit and catch up with our family.

Lock box was not working but owners quickly walked us through to another lockbox. The outside grounds could have been swept a bit more for outdoor seating. The inside was very clean. Towels to go to the beach might be nice. Nice and quiet. Really nice neighborhood.

This property is large and stylish, located in the quiet neighborhood nearby Sandbanks park. We shared it with another couple. We had a good time however were quite disappointed in a quality of bedding, old sheets with stains on the pillows cases and makeup stains on the sheets… towels are old and smelly. Outside area has very old and not properly cleaned furniture and BBQ area. We would expect cleaning crew working on the day of our arrival, since the checking in time is 5:00pm. We won’t be coming back next time.

5 star property

This property is beautiful. It is like staying at your really cool friends home. Everything is top quality including the linens. It is in a quiet neighborhood close to watersports and Sandbanks. We never drove to Sandbanks because we found we could take a water Taxi and not deal with parking. Not a lot of close restaurants but The Sand and the Pearl had great casual seafood and cocktails within 5 minutes. the owner was easy to contact and answered questions about the property quickly.

the location is a heaven on earth, peaceful and silent. very friendly neighbours, a great route of about three km for a run with basically no transit traffic, the house it self has all you need in a high quality. a beach in walking distance. the best momemnts were having an early coffee at the rerasse where all still asleep or stay in pation and enjoy the peacful sundown. if you want to dive into the local food tjere are many options in picton, the royal, or the drake in wellington. the sandbanks round up the stay.

Memorable Eclipse Stay

Had a great visit to PEC with family to experience the total solar eclipse. Perfect location for viewing - we were able to see everything from the front lawn! Very close to Sandbanks so we also enjoyed beach walks. David was super responsive at all times. The home is beautiful and really well equipped ... probably the biggest variety and quantity of kitchen utensils, appliances, and dishes we have ever encountered in a VRBO. Appreciated food wraps, apron, ample dish detergent, etc. And nice to have designated pillows for patio (gas firepit was lovely) and so many great books and games!

Very nice home and decor but the exterior is lacking a bit of love. The cleaning did not seem complete. We had to get rid of a lot of cobwebs on the terrace upon arrival. The cleaning fees were reimbursed. Our stay was great non-the-less. We enjoyed the location, great equipment. Very comfortable home. Thank you.
