Great Visit to Prince Edward County

We enjoyed this home very much. It was comfortable and well equipped for hosting meals for our family that live close by. 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.

Family time

Our daughter and ourselves were celebrating our wedding anniversary during our stay. We also enjoyed having our 2 grandsons with us. David’s home provided ample space for all. We spent a lot of time walking around the neighbourhood where everyone was friendly. David promptly replied to any questions we asked of him.

Very nice!

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.

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!

Lovely modern home

David’s place was comfortable and boasted a modern aesthetic that our party found appealing. The well-maintained grounds and the availability of a swing set added to the outdoor experience, and the selection of games for all ages was a nice touch. There was a record player, with some old records that we took full advantage of as well! The location was amazing, quiet and very close to sandbanks. There were also some local restaurants close by. The only downside was being unable to use the outdoor patio as it was quite dusty and had an excess of cobwebs. The pantry items were a bit sparse, so make sure to bring spices etc when you visit. We had a fantastic time and would wholeheartedly recommend it to others! Thanks David!

Modern meets cozy!

TL;DR: Modern with a homely feel! Where to start!? This property is a stunning break from character to PEC. Dotted throughout PEC are restored, classic, rustic houses - then there's this house. Modern, warm, inviting, but still feels incredibly homely and perfectly suited to the area. Set on a lovely piece of grounds, this modern haven is as nicely textured by modern materials as it is by gallery-worthy art, and detail at every turn. As far as being well equipped, that's an understatement. Bedrooms are bright, soft and spotless. The bathrooms have everything you could possibly need - even down to beach towels! The kitchen is definitely equipped to serve everything from a quiet breakfast to an evening feast, all of which can be laid out of a massive dining table. Even the living room has it all - from surround sound smart tv to a classic turntable. While not quite a beachfront, the patio more than makes up for it. There's wildlife throughout the grounds, and the owner celebrates that with little photos of birds nests that have been on the property - a lovely little touch! You can really tell with this property that the owner has thought of everything. To find any criticism of the property would be a momentous struggle - except maybe that our stay wasn't long enough!

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.
