Our second stay at this beautiful property. It is such a comfortable house, and so well stocked with everything you need. We will go back again next year for what is becoming an annual December trip. Everything in the house is such good quality-the knives are sharp and the pots and pans are good quality. It’s a beautiful spot and just a cozy place to come back to after exploring Pender Island.

This vacation rental was even better than the photos and so very comfortable and welcoming! It has clearly been recently updated with tasteful and fitting renovations but it also maintains everything possible from the past to make it feels like a true home away from home. The view from almost every room was amazing and deck was so comfortable for all times of day!

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Rawlings Retreat! The space is wonderful -- clean, spacious, and a great mix of original mid-century modern features and updated spaces. Such a great place to stay! We spent so much of our time on the deck -- such an amazing view! This was a great place to stay while enjoying Pender, warmly recommended. :)

We had a fantastic stay on Pender Island. The location was very convenient for the grocery store and several restaurants / liquor store etc. The view from the living room was idyllic and it just made the trip so much more special. We received a notification that the property was ready for occupancy earlier than planned and this was very welcome as we had 2 infants who were due to have a nap and it was really nice to have the ability to drive straight from the ferry to the property.

Spectacular house - even better than the pictures and the description. We were impressed by how clean and well-maintained the house was. It was clear that a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome and comfortable. Of note was the comfortable beds with fresh linens and an overall peaceful atmosphere. If you are looking for a spotlessly clean house, tranquility and a roomy place for your family, this is a fantastic choice.

Fantastic getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Rawling’s Retreat. Small but very thoughtful touches made our stay even more enjoyable - condiments and basic kitchen ingredients already in fridge/cupboards, cozy warm deck blankets, filled propane heater and BBQ. Highly recommend!

Truly special

What a wonderful getaway for families! It is in an excellent location, near to lots of activities but also on a secluded piece of property. The house itself is very well-maintained with new appliances, cute decor and plenty of little touches that make it feel like home. We recommend it highly especially for families with kids. We hope to come back before too long!

nice to be back

As we liked our stay in summer 2023 very much, we came back for another stay in June, 2025. Things were as good as last time. My only suggestion for improvement is to add some USB ports to help people charge their phones/tablets/laptops in the bed room and near the dinner table.
