Great March Break Getaway

We had a fantastic time in this space. The windows and view were absolutely incredible, we had everything we needed. We loved our little beach - the kids had a great time exploring the shore line and watching the marine life from the dock. We've made some great family memories here!

Perfect place on Pender

This is the second time we’ve stayed in this house of that tells you anything. It’s in such a great location. Amenities are great, fully stocked kitchen is awesome and you can cook just about anything you want. There’s enough room for everyone. Close to trails, the dock is awesome to watch sea life. I really enjoyed watching the otters and bald eagles from the dock.

Amazing stay

We loved staying at Andrew’s cabin. It was quiet, secluded and had the most beautiful view. We loved all the space the cabin had to offer. Our 3 year old loved the little air hockey table upstairs and our 10 year old loved the big kitchen table for puzzles. Hide and seek was amazing in this house!! We fished off the dock and enjoyed the big kitchen. It was such a relaxing perfect vacation spot, we are already planning for when we can return. Andrew was so wonderful to deal with and was even flexible with check in and out times to help accommodate our ferries. Thanks for a great stay!

Stunning views

What a special place! We saw so much wildlife just from the those big bay windows. Seals, otters, eagles, hummingbirds, deer, and a garter snake. There was an issue with the water system but it was quickly resolved and Andrew provided excellent service and an alternative solution while the repairs were completed. We had an amazing stay and our whole family said it was the highlight of our vacation. We will be back!

Pender

This property was perfect for two families that included 3 teenagers. There was a lot of room to move around inside and out. It was clean, had everything that you would need and the property manager was quick to reply. Note that water restricitions are there for a reason!

We love staying at Ainslie Cove with our family. The house has plenty of space and a stocked kitchen, and the location on the water and close to hiking can't be beat. We already miss the eagles, otters, herons, deer, etc. Andrew is an excellent host.

Big House, Great Location

This is a beautiful location, right on the water. The house is spacious and had everything we needed. There were eight of us (6 adults and two kids under 4). The Kids loved it, my 4 year old grand daughter asked me to ask the man who owns the house if we could come again.

Delightful Escape

After a 3-year separation, thanks to Covid, my sisters and partners were finally able to reunite under one roof. And what a roof! We were so delighted with the space when we walked through the front door that we forgot all about silencing the alarm. The house is beautifully situated in an idyllic spot and we often found ourselves transfixed by the view, enjoying the antics of the seals and otters, the passing deer, and the wild fowl. The house is open and airy and comfortably appointed. We appreciated the spaciousness of the bedrooms and the privacy that they afforded. The upstairs loft was a perfect spot for yoga with a view! Unfortunately the temperatures during our stay were a little chilly, so we didn't take advantage of the deck. But we were so busy exploring the island and the trails that we didn't have had much time to relax during the days. We certainly hope to return to Pender and Ainslie Cove in the future. Thank you, Andrew!
