Sandbanks Beach Cottage | Rare Sandy Beach |West Lake | Prince Edward County | Free Pontoon Boat

The location, the view made it great

I went in the fall, colours are beautifully, the location of the cabin was great, we stayed in the first cabin and the side yard was huge, which we loved. The fire pit was set up nice and the chairs were great condition. The cabin was a rustic cottage. I didn't mind it but my friends had mixed opinions. There was a lot of pluses to being on the water, nice beach, location, side yard fire pit, cabin was clean, bed sheets were good. The cabin was old and tired. So it was like a true cabin. If you are looking for upscale then this might not be the place. But if you can look past the maintenance then this is the perfect place. For city people who do not know what i mean: Turned on the oven and we could smell mouse pee. Very destictive smell if you grew up in cottage County. But the smell did go away and there was no signs of mice so all is good. This is a two bedroom cabin with the third bed being in the livingroom (not) so comfortable. It was really windy one night the window rattled all night. The shower you could see outside (hole), electrical nightmare for plugging in a device. Again it is a cottage not a hotel so just have the right expectation going in and you will love it.

The basic cleanliness of the beds were fine but the rest of the cottage wasn't clean and run down. The BBQ grill was dirty and the scrapper was dead. Water pressure and hot water was spotty. I was not expecting a 4 star hotel. I knew it was a rustic cottage but even at that it was underwhelming.

The view was amazing. The condition of the property left alot to be desired. The toilet leaked, 2 of 4 stools needed repair, the bbq had no utensils, the fuses kept popping, the windows rattled and let the cold in, the kitchen lacked clean safe appliances. The owners did come correct what they could but was aware of issues and commented that the building needed to be torn down and rebuilt. Still had fun in the county but would not recommend this property

Property was located at a different address than advertised. Took some time to figure out where to go When arrived at property for check in, cleaners we still cleaning Property is very run down. For the price I would not recommend this stay

The cottage was steps from West Lake. I can’t imagine getting any closer to the water. It was very private. The Cottages best feature is that they have two large patio doors and Windows one set in the kitchen and the other in the living room that overlooks the patio/water… that was beautiful. The fridge is a fair size and worked well. We used the oven and that worked well as well. We mostly used the bbq provided that worked exceptionally well. My husband was very impressed. They also supplied the propane. The kitchen was well stocked. Everything we needed was provided. Lots of hot water and the shower worked well. It was cute, well decorated and very clean. I would suggest they opt to upgrade the sofa but it served the purpose well. The have a large tv screen in the living room and one in each bedroom. However, we could not access the wifi. Apparently, accessing wifi in that particular area is also a struggle for the locals as well. So be sure your have ample data on your phone and HDMI connector to connect your phone to the tv if you want to watch your Netflix or whatever you would like; no cable or satellite tv connection. However, something to be said about unplugging for a few days… lol. They had books but I thought if they had a few board games that would have been nice… simple ole school type games out have matched the ambiance of the cottage. We had campfires nightly be the water which was beautiful. They offered a free pass to sandbanks which was a nice day excursion.

Old and not well kept

property area was beautiful cottage could use some updates 2 burners of stove didn't work toaster didn't work microwave didn't work mice has chewed cables area and view was awesome

Wonderful location for a cottage with perfect access to the outdoors. Great that kayaks were available from the rental business. Rustic building, no door on the freezer, but once we knew what was what, which was unfortunately on the second day of our stay, it was perfect. Unfortunately I didn't get a response about the Sandbanks pass number when I requested it a week before our stay so there were no reservations available at Outlet Beach.

The place has issues with safety. The handle rail into the cottage wobbles, the toilet is not secured to the floor and the fridge has no freezer door so you can't keep anything frozen. The owner told us that was fine and would not fix it.The back deck step has no handle rails, the wood step is rotten and is on cinder blocks which comes completely off.The deck is uneven and a tripping hazard, the couch does not lay flat and is prompt up on wood as a leg is missing from the couch. The BBQ is disgusting it has never been clean and it has two inches of animal fat buildup and it is only a table top size as well. So it would be difficult to cook for six.There are no fly screens on some windows, which you need as there is no A/C which makes it really hot for cooking. The stove is right next to the entrance so if your cooking beware of handles turned out as people enter/exit the front door. The water pressure is very poor and will continually decrease until there is no water, so we had to fill containers from the lake to flush the toilet. The roof is falling apart with rotten shingles and nails on the ground. One of our boys stepped on a nail and it went through his shoe. This place is not made for six people, as the ad says sleep six, impossible, the fridge is a mini fridge, so it doesn't hold enough food for six, and like a I said tiny tabletop BBQ, how do you feed six people at the same time.Would not recommend!!! We have documented everything and will be pursuing this further.

Exactly what we wre looking for. Advertizes 3 bedrooms and there are only 2 sofa doesnt even turn into a bed. Bit of a dissappointment but did not affect our sta

Great location! The cottage is a shack, not for picky people. We were ok with it.

You couldn’t ask for a better location Great area nested I front of the lake Other than that is just down hill Water supply is directly from the lake without any filtration, so plan on showering, brushing your teeth and washing dishes is weed infested bird and fish and who know what else poop waters The place has never been cleaned, the sofa covers are coved in spider webs and smell like crap Nobody cleans prior to leaving or coming The deck is dirty and mouldy

Location: Fantastic view and easy access. Gorgeous sunset. Cottage: Vintage cabin feel, but dirty, full of spider webs that were not cleaned from previous client. I spent 30 minutes removing over 20 spider webs from the bedroom to the bathroom and kitchen. Listing says 3 bedrooms, but only has 2. Bathroom does not have privacy: it has no proper door and the wall is open to a bedroom. So outsiders can hear and see you. The entire cottage felt dirty, and we had to make our own bed. Host: He's responsive, but not accommodating to a slightly later checkout. His checkout time was 10am, and when I mentioned that standard checkouts are usually 11am or 12pm, he mentioned that it was mentioned in the listing. That was a lie, as it was only shared after a non-refundable payment. His property rules charge you a penalty if you move furniture, don't take out the trash or even leave 5 mins late. Needless to say, those strict rules and lack of customer service were disappointing.

Beautiful enchanting site in this rustic cottage. Good communication with the owners.

Great location, beautiful view. However it is an old cottage, with not a lot of privacy as bedroom and bathroom doors don't close properly. The cottage is older with not great screens on the windows. So expect insects. Issues with cleanliness, regarding floors and dishes. Wifi was excellent and fans worked great.
