Beautiful Location, Beautiful Farmhiuse

We loved the house in Darnley. It was comfortable and well appointed with everything one might need. The cool breeze from the water was delightful. My husband enjoyed the kitchen.

Peaceful Getaway!

My husband and I had a lovely relaxing stay. The view over the bay was pretty and there was a constant breeze which was welcome. Lots of windows with great views from all. Kitchen was well stocked. Toby was a great host and promptly had someone drop-off or help with anything that came up. Nice, quiet and relaxing :)

A little piece of paradise

Our family enjoyed every moment at the Farmhouse! The hosts have put so much thought into the whole guest experience. The attention to detail does not go unnoticed, like the unique farmhouse decor, artwork, comfortable couch for watching movies, and the cozy linens and fluffy towels. We enjoyed having our coffee on the porch, playing board games and working on a puzzle. The outdoor shower was great to have after our trips to Thundercove Beach. The kitchen was well equipped, and the fridge was stocked with beer and cold water for our arrival. Toby also offered excellent suggestions of places to visit and local restaurants. Go ahead and pick the wildflowers, soak in the claw foot tub and live your best cottage-core life at the Darnley Farmhouse!

Our Second Stay

We (2 adults and 2 kids) stayed at the Darnley Farmhouse in 2018 and were very excited to visit again. It is exactly how it is described. We loved watching fisherman in the basin, having a fire in the firepit and visiting the near by seafood market. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Fantastic Private Stay

Beautiful house down a secluded laneway. Huge lawn, furnishings with loads of character, and beautiful view off the spacious back deck. Great spot for hosting outdoor dinners with friends. Close to some great beaches and even better seafood markets. Highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Toby Schwartz

Family of 4 from Nova Scotia, with deep PEI roots. We've been coming to PEI since birth, have relatives on the island, and love all that it has to offer. It is a magical, relaxing place, which the whole family enjoys.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Darnley Farmhouse many years ago while staying in the area, so when it came up for sale, we knew it had to be ours! It is a great PEI find, with complete privacy, yet in an ideal location to experience everything the island has to offer, including its incredible beaches. We hope you will love this property as much as we do. It is truly an island gem.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, stylish and high-end interiors, amazing location, water views from almost every room in the house, and access to the water for canoeing/kayaking. Gas fireplace and pull-out sectional sofa available as well.
