1866 Schoolhouse - FREE Sandbanks Pass, 15mins to Beach, Family & Dog Friendly

Step back in time without sacrificing modern luxury. Originally a local school from 1866 to 1966, this comfortable home is your perfect PEC sanctuary. Whether you’re here for winery tours, beach days, or quiet stargazing, our home offers a peaceful rural retreat for up to 6 adults + 3 additional children (under 10).

We'll make your stay easy with everything you need: bedding, bath & beach towels, beach toys, chairs & umbrellas, lots of dishes and good quality cookware, cozy beds, plus peace and quiet!

The space

The Schoolhouse Entrance: A bright, sunny "bonus room" featuring a wood-pellet stove, pull-out couch, and TV. This quiet space doubles as a perfect work-from-home office with a dedicated table and ample storage.

The Heart of the Home: The main floor boasts an open, airy flow. A fully-stocked kitchen leads into a dining room with a large round table, ideal for long dinners and family game nights.

Rest & Relax: The living room offers ample seating plus a second wood-pellet stove for cozy autumn nights, and a TV.

Bedroom 1 (Main Floor): Queen bed and TV, perfect for guests seeking step-free access.

Bedrooms 2 & 3 (Second Floor): Both feature Queen beds with premium cotton linens and plush duvets. The primary upstairs bedroom includes its own large TV.

Outdoor Living & Amenities

Secure & Spacious: Enjoy a fenced deck and yard — perfect for keeping little ones and pets safe — with direct BBQ access. Beyond the fence, a massive field awaits for lawn games and nights around the fire pit.

The Perks: Your stay includes a complimentary Sandbanks Provincial Park pass (just 15 minutes away!), a Flo EV charger, high-speed unlimited Wi-Fi, laundry, and cold A/C.

A Note on Our Progress: We are currently in the final stages of installing a new, oversized deck. While the project is taking a bit longer than planned, the "mess" is purely visual (see the last photo in our gallery). Rest assured: No construction will take place during your stay, and your access to the yard and BBQ remains completely unobstructed.
