Welcome to BrightSky Getaway located on Sheba’s Island in beautiful Prince Edward County!

Occupancy - Please note that the regulations allow for " two (2) persons per licensed guest room may additionally include one (1) child under the age of ten (10) per room". This means you can have up to 12 guests, so long as only 8 adults and the rest are youngsters under the age of 10.


By car you are only 5 minutes away from Dunes Beach, and less than 10 minutes away to Outlet Beach. The house is perfectly situated to allow you to explore and experience everything the County has to offer, and there is something for everyone; beaches, ice cream shops, a waterpark, hiking and biking trails, boating, galleries, award winning wineries, restaurants, local produce markets and antiques, and music, art and theatre festivals throughout the season, and so much more! There is a public boat launch minutes away. You can be in the quaint village of Bloomfield in less than 10 minutes, and Picton in 15 minutes.

This roomy but cozy home is situated back well from a quiet road that circles the homes on Sheba’s Island, which is actually a peninsula connected to the mainland by a short causeway.

The views of the lake and marsh from the large deck are serene and breathtaking, and the soft breezes and relaxing environment allow for hours of bird watching, basking, or al fresco dining.

Steps take you down from the back of the house to the water’s edge, colorfully decorated with lily pads and majestic bull rushes. Here you can sit or play by the water, fish, sip a glass of wine, gather around a bonfire, and watch for and listen to the sounds of birds, ducks, loons and even swans.

The spacious front lawn boasts gorgeous perennial gardens, large trees and well placed garden benches and chairs provide nooks and niches for reading, having a cup of coffee or glass of wine and quiet conversations. Children and adults alike will enjoy playing in the large grassy area.

The home comfortably sleeps 8 persons, features four bedrooms + downstairs living room with sofa bed (5 private sleeping areas), three bathrooms, and offers two full levels of living space with numerous amenities.

Close to Sandbanks and spacious enough for an extended family... and the dog!
The house was clean and well-stocked, able to house multiple children downstairs with lots of comfortable rooms for the adults upstairs. Simon was a communicative host and took care of any small issues that popped up. Location-wise, only a short drive to the beautiful Sandbanks beaches and Bloomfield/Wellington/Picton. Only downside is that you cannot swim on the property, but that was clear from the beginning. It is close enough to Sandbanks that you can return for an evening swim if desired! Overall - a lovely vacation for the whole family.

Very nice summer vacation
We rent the place for one week of vacation with family and friends. The house is closed to Sandbanks beach, which is good. The view on West lake is awesome, we can also see Ontario lake away. We had brought our fishing boat and we were able to easily park it in their parking, while enjoying the few public boat launchs in the area (the closest for West lake being 5-10 minutes away). We did some paddle board directly from the house, but there is a lot of vegetation in this area, so it was a bit harder for the kids. The rooms are located in area of the house where people who wants to sleep do not get bother by the ones who prefer to do something else. The owner was very receptive and responsive when needed (we did not have much to request for, we had pretty much all we needed already provided). We enjoyed our stay at Bright Sky!

LOTS OF SPACE AND GREAT SANDBANKS ACCESS
Simon's place is excellent for a family (we were 6 adults and 4 kids and a dog), with a super layout with bedrooms separated from living areas, and a lower level for the kids. Easy access to Sandbanks (10 min) made it perfect to spend time during the day and sunsets, and close to Wellington/Picton. We will be back!

Five stars weekend!
Our stay was absolutely perfect! The house is beautiful and well equipped. The way the rooms are separated is excellent for everyone having enough space and privacy. The day bed in the basement can open into a queen bed. There is an extra bed under the bunk beds and enough space in that room. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook excellent meals. The location is great and 8 minutes from the beach by car. We appreciated the 2 vehicle parking pass for the beach. The property is well maintained and the landscape is super beautiful. We had fun with the kayaks and did a fire every night at the fire pit. One night, a Neigbour accross the lakes did fireworks! It was magical.

Amazing house with lots of room and outdoor space. Very well situated in PEC
Our experience at Simon's place was amazing. We had 3 families with kids ranging from 1.5.years to 14. Everybody had an amazing time. The property has plenty of space for everyone. Indoors and out. The location is amazing and very easy to get to wineries, stores, breweries and the Sandbanks. Simon was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend and we hope we get a chance to visit again soon.

Beautiful location and spacious home
A group of five friends and I stayed here for the weekend for a PEC vacation. The location of the home is perfect - you can see the sand dunes from across the road! It was spacious, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make a gourmet meal. The beds were super comfortable, and we enjoyed sitting out on the porch with our coffee every morning. We did have a mouse problem in the kitchen, but our host Simon was very responsive and let us know that the exterminator had been to the house right before we arrived. So likely this wouldn't be a problem in the future!

Amazing Property
This property is stunning. It's on the backside of Sheba, facing the marsh, making it quite and full of the sounds of birds, fish, and bullfrogs. It was larger than expected from the pictures. And I've never stayed at a property that was so well equipped. We usually bring our own cutting boards, knifes, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, sometimes even larger pots and pans, BUT we didn't need any of those things. What we brought just sat in the closet. We will definitely be back.
