Response from VrboOwner on 1 Oct 2025
Jeff, we're really sorry to hear about your disappointment with the outdoor area. With regard to your opinion regarding the water views, we assure you (and everyone else reading) that there are indeed views of West Lake from numerous points and angles around the home and especially from our grounds. We often stare at it ourselves, though the Lake is more visible during the Winter months when the leaves have all fallen from the trees (which will seasonally obstruct views when they are in full bloom during the warmer months). As to the lack of Lake access that you have unfairly complained about, we do not advertise the property as having direct access to the Lake as an amenity. We also do not hide the property's location on the map. We appreciate your feedback and hope to be able to host you again on a return visit to the County so you can see the improvements that have been made since your stay.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Nancy. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at the Leaning Tree Lodge. You will be pleased to learn that the beach towels you suggested were located in the 2nd bathroom cupboard. :) Also the lock box now seems to be working just fine again. I tested it, along with a couple of others following your stay. It must have been Mercury in retrograde working against us that day. Hope to host you again.

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.

a place to restore your mindfulness

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.

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!
