About this property

Modern 4BR Harbourfront Century Home

The ideal home base for your retreat to PEC. An authentic country home with a cozy charm, but lovingly restored and renovated with just the right mix of stylish touches. Spacious both inside and out, ideal for families, group of friends, or company retreats - large enough that everyone has a seat at the dinner table ; ). A literal stone's throw from the Picton Harbour, steps from the main strip, and a short jaunt to all of the wonderful wineries, beaches and beauty that the County has to offer.

The space

Legitimately one of the first houses ever in Picton, built in 1840 but looking incredibly good for her age. This two-storey brick residence has been updated from top to bottom to offer a more contemporary take on an historic heritage home.

Art-inspired design in each and every room, featuring an array of local artists and pieces from around the world, everything from colourful cityscapes to clever Canadiana.

Rooms of all shapes and sizes to sleep 8 comfortably - the primary with ensuite, the second bedroom with fireplace, the bunkroom (*main bedrooms on 2nd floor) and the sunroom. Plus 3 full bathrooms, with rain shower faucets and a classic, old school deep soak tub.

- The place is beyond bright, with big windows and high ceilings.
- An entirely modern (and roomy!) kitchen. All new, stainless steel appliances.
- Kitchen's adjacent to the living room, with lots of comfortable seating.
- Along with a Smart TV, for rainy day Netflixing!
- An incredibly long dining room table, to host meals fresh from the BBQ.
- Also an interesting/unexpected spiral staircase, connecting dining and bedroom.
- Carefully curated furniture, the right balance of sleek and snug.
- A large, spacious fenced-in private backyard with a little over half an acre of greenspace.
- Two big sun-filled decks, perfect for quiet morning coffees or family dinners.
- Three gas fireplaces.
- And more than enough cozy spots to dive into a good book.

Let us know if you have any questions at all about your upcoming stay.

We're also happy to share that a portion of rental proceeds will go to support Neeko's Animal Welfare Foundation :)

It's worth noting that our home is not a setting for large events, loud music, or disruptive parties. We expect guests to be respectful of our neighbours at all times, and in accordance with local by-laws keep outside noise to a minimum, and quiet hours after 11pm. Please treat both our home and our neighbourhood as you would your own.

A friendly head’s up, since this is a vacation rental and the house sometimes sits vacant, there are two exterior surveillance cameras, one at the front and one at the back of the house that face the road, for security purposes only. They turn ON only when they detect motion.

Everything to recommend

I've been staying in the county at least once a year for the past 15 years and this place is definitely one of my favorites. It is such a beautiful place and so tastefully decorated. It is also spotless. Communication with the owners was always very prompt and very helpful. And the location was fantastic - very short walk to main street in Picton. While we didn't get to use the decks and backyard (it was November), they looked great too. Oh, and did I mention, there's 3 bathrooms? I'd book here again without hesitation.

Comfortable home in a great location

We had a fabulous time and the accommodations were perfect for what we needed. We were super centrally located for the activities we did and were able to walk to dinner in downtown Picton. The Dans were super responsive and helpful. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend it.

Enjoyed our girls weekend, great location, close walk to town and short drive to Bloomfield, local wineries, Sandbanks. Beautiful home, lots of space to accommodate 6 adults. House did smell a little musty upon entering, but really a non issue. Loved it! Linda & friends

Well Beyond The Comfort Inn

It was an absolute pleasure staying at 56 Bridge St. This is such a well appointed abode. Very clean and completely ready for anyone to just walk in, unpack and relax. We were negligent in reading the entire Welcome Guide that provided checklist to follow at Check Out time. We apologize for not putting out the garbage or recycling to the storage shed. If you are expecting the Ritz, you should move on. This is simply a very comfortable everyday home.

Short wedding trip to PEC

This was a great house and location! We were in town for a wedding - a family of four plus my older parents. Dan was great and very flexible. House had plenty of bedrooms and beds. Three bathrooms were also great since six people had to get ready:) Each room has its own A/C unit that was remote control managed. Location was also great, a very short walk into theain street of town (just a bit steep one way). Would strongly recommend and would do it again in a heart beat.

PEC getaway

Great house right near the centre of Picton! There's a nice big backyard and deck which is perfect for outdoor dining and hanging out. Inside the house is also great - a nice big kitchen, multiple bedrooms and neat decor. I would recommend for a group of friends or family getting together.

Great Location

The Dans is ideally located if you’re wine touring, brew hopping, or spending your day checking out Picton, you’re just a very short walk from downtown. The pictures are an accurate presentation of the hip vibe of the home, and the space easily accommodates 6 adults with pretty private sleeping areas. However, the space is a little tight for anymore than 4 to spend social time together, so you definitely need to get out and explore. 2 of the 3 showers really don’t work, so mornings are a bit of a challenge. The outdoor space is probably great in the summer, but in the shoulder season we struggled with heat and windows that show their age.

A wonderful house for families

Lots of room inside and outside for us, our three grown children and two small dogs. A historic home fully renovated with a modern kitchen and bathrooms, with many historic details combined with funky art on the walls. We mostly just slept here as we were home in the County for the holidays, but the beds were comfortable with nice linens and duvets and the central location met our needs perfectly! The lighting in some rooms was the only detractor as the weather outside was grey and the antique-like lightbulbs did not brighten the inside sufficiently for my tastes. A wonderful home. We will definitely book again!

Perfect Place

This house is amazing and has so much character and charm. We had a group of 9 including 3 kids 5 and and under and everyone loved it. Back deck with a bbq was nice, plenty of room to seat everyone at the dining table, bedrooms were all nice and bathrooms as well. Walked to town everyday (10 min walk with kids on your shoulders) and ate, drank and shopped. Definitely recommend this house.

Wonderful stay!

We recently booked this property for an adult family gathering. The location was perfect just steps from the cute town of Picton. The hosts were in touch regularly and were very friendly and helpful. The house was lovely and charming, the pictures really don’t do it justice. The fireplaces in each room were a nice touch. We really enjoyed our stay at this property and hope to be back again. Highly recommend.

Great Place to Stay in PEC

We spent a week at the Dans’ house in Picton. What a lovely spot. The house was well appointed with lots of nice touches. We had everything we needed. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The house also had a big fenced-in back yard, which was great for the kids and the dog. In addition, it was also just a short walk to downtown Picton, which has excellent restaurants and cafés and some nice shops. I liked walking over to the Picton harbour, which was just across the street. Overall this was a great place to stay, a lovely home base for visiting Sandbanks, wineries and other sites in PEC.

Incredible Home

We have been coming to Prince Edward for a few years now but had never stayed in the Picton area. The Dans house was perfect for us and was both unique with its historical charm and was very stylish. The house had everything we could have needed to enjoy our stay and was a perfect location to explore all of the different areas of the county. Definitely recommended.
