Enjoy the Sandbanks - Convenient Location
For large groups looking for a conveniently-located rental near the Sandbanks take a look at this option. Within less than 10 minutes you can be on one of several popular beach locations, plus you get two vehicle passes. You can drop off and pick up easily if anyone wants to stay behind at the house. Easily accommodates 4 vehicles on property if you need. You know how they say you get what you pay for? Considering the daily/weekly rental price, it's good value. The house itself, the amenities, as well as furnishings are a bit dated, and while one would love to see a newly modernized kitchen, and new beds, it would drive up the cost of the rental. I looked at similarly sized places with a lakefront dock and modern amenities and they were 50-100% higher in cost. Owners were very responsive when we reported an appliance failure (they replaced it as soon as they could). Our rental also came with 4 hour use of a pontoon boat, as well as unlimited rental of kayaks at nearby West Lake Watersports. This was great value. Property is very secluded so no worries about nearby parties nor congestion: yet, it's a 5' drive to the beaches, located very close to Wellington & Picton. If you're looking for modern, fully refurbished interiors with new kitchen and fancy bathrooms this is not the place for you. If you need to have a large family gathering and no one is picky about where they sleep, this is perfect for you! Most importantly, our family reunion was a success due to this rental!

Nous somme satisfait du chalet. La propreté était correct sans plus. Il manquait un balai afin de pouvoir ramasser le sable. Le lave vaisselle fonctionnait mal et les ustensiles de vaisselle dont le set de chaudron étaient désuets.

Lots of space for everyone - but one tripping hazard
We rented this house for a family reunion. 4 siblings in our 60's, plus spouses, plus some adult "children" plus one newborn. There was lots of room for sleeping. There are essentially two master bedrooms (the original and an addition at the back) plus three other bedrooms. The sofa beds were not very comfortable (we had more that 10 staying) - people just slept on the sofas themselves or on the sofas in the living room. So - lots of room. And the living room handled everyone for trivia night. The kitchen doesn't look that big, but 3 or 4 were regularly in it without too much problem. The outdoor space was big enough for everyone as well. Lots of chairs, lots of shade. The hot tub was a nice bonus. But the one big issue we had with the property was on the patio. It was on a slight step down (one brick height) and it is very hard to see the change in elevation. Most of us tripped on it - the mother of the newborn actually fell. Fortunately she wasn't holding be baby. After that we put up a wall of beer cans to warn people and I recommend others do the same The cleanliness was good, not great. It really felt like it needed a deep clean. We had three issues - a leaking faucet, a very slow coffee maker and a dryer that didn't dry. Warren was very quick to respond (he replaced the faucet and coffee maker - but the dryer had to wait until after we left). The location is great - very close to Sandbanks. And the park passes and the pontoon boat rental were great.

Know before you Go
Overall our stay at this Sandbanks property was enjoyable. We had a large group of ladies stay here to enjoy wine country for 3 nights. The location, included Sandbanks car passes, and hot tub were huge bonuses. On the other hand we found the cleanliness of the property did not meet our expectations. As well, the property lacked some common amenities we have seen in other vacation rentals - such as no hand soap provided in the bathrooms, no paper towel, and limited cookware and linens. I would recommend this spot to large groups looking to take advantage of a great location and spacious accommodations but would caution renters that this property may not suit families or those wishing to cook much at home.

Major maintenance problems
We were disappointed with the way the property is maintained; neglected, dirty rugs, threadbare bedding on poor mattresses, with inadequate numbers of towels, pillow cases and blankets for the 14 people permitted. The ancient oven did not work, and we were forced to cook our Thanksgiving dinner, including the turkey, on the BBQ. ` We were celebrating Thanksgiving there and had to spend a lot of time just handling problems. Starting off, VRBO gave us the wrong password. We had to text several times to find the information we needed was on the frig door. The oven did not reach 300 degrees F and we had to cook the turkey in the BBQ, along with the veggies. We ate the ham cold. We had called earlier to check on the oven and was told it was fine. The stove was inconsistent, it bubbled like a volcano, burned on the bottom but left the middle cool. The ice cube maker did not work and the refrigerator light there was out. There were not enough towels for 14. Considering that we were charged $150 extra for the hot tub, there should have been a reasonable number of towels. We were instructed to take the garbage to the dump at the campground or pay a $100 fee. We had difficulty locating the dump, and found that it was closed; confirmed by the owner after we spent time finding out the hard way. All of us have rented VRBO around the world and have never had to handle the garbage. There were two safety issues that need to be addressed. The bricks on the porch step are loose and pots of mums, used to mark the loose bricks, were very attractive but left only a narrow space to walk through so one would not fall off. A big problem was that the living room is sunken so there is a step at both ends of the room. One 84 year old woman fell down and landed on the table with the glass top and is still suffering substantial rib pain. Two others, both younger males also stumbled, but were able to save themselves from totally landing on the floor. There needs to be a red or yellow stripe on the edge. When bringing in luggage and supplies, one is not looking down but ahead and the step is not readily seen. We kept chairs in front of the area during our stay to warn others. (This same complaint was mentioned in review by Caroline S on September 2019. Host said “all future guests will be made aware of this step”. That obviously has not happened). This could have been catastrophic Lovely house but does not meet potential.

Enjoyed the County
It was just what we needed. We have travelled with the group before but not since before the Pandemic and some can no longer travel out of Country. The facility was roomy and well stocked; We enjoyed the outside as much as the inside. My Husband I lived in The County for 9 years and if was good to explore our old haunts. One suggestion would be safety maps for the tubs/shower, and at least one bathroom with a safety grab bar. Thanks to the hosts for a lovely stay. JW

Nice property but not clean
First impression is that the property is very nice. Big Tv, nice fridge, great location. Cleanliness should always be paramount and based on previous reviews, the owners have not improved. The fact that there is a charge for not washing towels including those in the kitchen and the reliance is on the previous guest to ensure the sanitation of these items is not acceptable. The towels were not clean and smelled like they were just hung dry from previous use. No soap to even clean the towels and when texted the owner, was told that there should be one pod in laundry area. There was not. Stains on carpets in every room that are quite extraordinary and this was on previous comments from some time ago and nothing done about it. Bed skirt is master should be yellow but is yellow and black. Long dark hair in master bathroom but no one with long dark hair. Mattress in one bedroom torn and stuffing coming out with a stained foam on top. Had to wash sheets in downstairs bedroom and someone’s sock under the sheets. Dishwasher needs repair, again a previous comment. Dryer does not work well so have to shower before eight on day of leaving to wash and dry towels to check out before ten. Had to hang dry towels and leave them. Loose stones in front, a wire holding one of the chairs in front together, a couple of broken chairs in back left to the side, and couches with stuffing sagging out the bottom. The first text to one of the owners was asking about firewood and in the answer was to ensure to read the rules so as not to be charged extra fees. This property could be so nice if guest’s comments were taken and some money was spent on improving and cleaning the property.

Disappointing
The property is in a good location and Sandbanks park passes was a bonus. However, the house is very "tired" and just plain unclean. The carpets were very stained and didn't appear to have been vacuumed. The dishwasher didn't work well, half the bbq was cold. The three upstairs bedrooms were shabby, the larger one had a pile of sand under the window. The main bath tub/shower drain was clogged leaving you standing ankle deep in backed up water. However, the LR tv is huge with good program selection. A second fridge in the laundry area is also handy. The house has a lot of potential if it was cleaned up, inside and out.

Great rental property for group of friends!
We decided to have a mini reunion w/ college friends who are all retirees !Since half of us live in Montreal and the other half in the GTA, Picton sounded like the perfect place to spend 3 nights and 4 days with our respective spouses! We raffled off the Masters’ suite to be fair! The 5 rooms + basement were convenient for us 6 couples! The facilities were amazing- good quality kitchenware & appliances! We brought our own linens & towels though there were more than enough of that in the house! We even brought our own tablecloth for the dining table! The large TV screen in the living room kept us well entertained one stormy night! We were only in our respective bedrooms to sleep so the TVs in the bedrooms were never used which was ok because they didn’t work anyway! Upon arrival, we double-sanitized the whole house. There was trash left in the garbage bin in the laundry room- probably from the previous guests! We just took it out along with our own garbage for fear that we might be blamed for leaving it there! We even organized the top cupboard where bowls & casseroles are and also where the pots & pans are !! We also wanted to do the other cupboards but ran out of time! We only got to use the grill outside once because the tank was almost empty. Having 2 good size refs was really good for such a big group! Overall, we all had a wonderful time and will probably rebook again! Thank you Dana!
