About this property

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.

Guest access
Guests enjoy full use of the house and property. We have a keyless lock for security for which you'll receive your personal access code.

The only areas which are not available for your use are the primary upstairs bedroom closet, attic space and second garage.

Other things to note
There is also a single cot suitable for a child and a portable play yard for infants, both with bedding, which you are welcome to use.

DVD player with a good selection of adult and children's DVDs

Host profile image
We fell in love with Prince Edward County while visiting back in 2017. We were lucky enough to find this lovely old building and enjoy spending time here with our family. Our goal is to share the cozy, friendly and relaxed County experience with others by offering our home as a vacation rental. We hope you enjoy staying here and exploring the County as much as we do.
