So close to Sandbanks PP, very quiet modern home in a beautiful community . Very comfortable and well equipped close to Wellington and Picton for great restaurants and shopping
Three couples from across southern Ontario wanted to stay somewhere clean and modern. The house was incredible! Has everything we needed, was close to all amenities and the messaging with the owner was very timely. Highly recommend.
We had such a great experience staying at this cottage! The house is very spacious and clean. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook meals, even cook books! The beds are super comfortable. Highly recommended!
Leaning Tree Lodge has everything you could ever need. The home is spacious, clean, with a full stocked kitchen and outdoor space. The beds were comfortable and the rain shower in the master bedroom was devine!! We loved staying there and will book again!
Beautiful home. Very comfortable beds! Our girls weekend was great because of the comfort, location and all the supplies provided within the home. Thank you David for clear communication and kindness.
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.
This is by far the most beautiful and clean and comfortable property I have rented. The host was great in responding quickly. I would come back in a heartbeat. If we left a bit of a mess, then I am very sorry. But we were having way too much fun!
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.
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!
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!
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!

Stunning accommodation. Well stocked with high end finishes. Perfect layout for 3 couples, great ammenities. Highly recommend.
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!
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!
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.
