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! ##### Miranda K.

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! ##### Kavita T.

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! ##### Neil B.

The location stated water views, which was hot the case. Back away from the water with no access. ##### jeff r.

We had the best time at David’s place! Awesome location really close to Sandbanks and short drive to Wellington. Immaculately clean and beautiful design. David was super kind and accommodating! ##### Emilia G. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Maria 11 Jul 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/29972e77-73da-45a8-b21a-8ccdb0d9316f-1752255765159.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a31b4f5f-7630-48c0-946a-21555c84505b-1752255789762.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4af652c-20b8-46c9-a954-47416c4953b5-1752255768447.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/919aaf97-ba1f-4661-ad68-68f3706ab718-1752255781889.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy P. 15 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sisters weekend. 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. ##### Nancy P. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### ELIZABETH S. 16 Aug 2018 #### 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. ##### ELIZABETH S.
