My daughters and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place to stay. Toby’s place was immaculate and well stocked with everything we could have needed. Great location, private and beautiful surroundings. A great place to relax and recharge. ##### Andi A.

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 :) ##### Tae K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie L. Aug 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect! Our stay here was everywhere we could have hoped for. The house was immaculate and the amenities plentiful. They even provided wrapped bars of soap in the bathroom! The house is at the end of a private lane and the view is nothing short of spectacular. The house and property are just simply lovely and we are so happy we found this gem for our PEI vacation ##### Carrie L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brooke E. Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful coastal farm house This property is peaceful and beautiful and has a perfectly cohesive antique coastal farm house design. My group ended up spending half of our vacation days at the house because was too beautiful to just sleep there and be gone all day. The host was thoughtful and answered all of my questions while we stayed. The water view and lupine - lined red dirt lane are dreamy to say the least. Coffee on the porch and camp fires at night. If ever I have the chance to come back to PEI, I will be staying here again. My sister insisted that I mention the antique furniture and mirrors. We all appreciated the attention to detail that went into the styling of the rooms. ##### Brooke E. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary L. Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely quiet farmhouse The property was just as described. It is a cute traditional farmhouse. The beds were comfortable. The showers were great. The new outdoor shower was a dream. Plenty of cooking supplies. Things to note. All bedrooms are on the 2nd floor. One full bath on 1st floor and 1 on 2nd floor. No AC -but even on the hottest day (90 degrees - 32 Celsius) the breeze through the windows was great and there were small fans by every bed. No problems. We really loved the house and we were very sorry to go. ##### Mary L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicky B. Jul 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Vicky B.

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. ##### Sarah F.

Aug 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Luke M. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isabel M.

This is a gorgeous house and property, full of quality details. The welcome package was very thoughtful, the pillows and bedding were fantastic. The attention to design throughout the house was unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable. Don’t skip a soak in the claw foot tub! The views were great, as was the proximity to the Ship to Shore restaurant - easily walkable. We were a bit late in the season, so not all restaurants were open but we managed to easily fill our days - a great trip overall. ##### Deana H.

Jul 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unforgettable Stay We stayed at the Darnley Farmhouse for a week in July and it was nothing short of amazing. The house was perfect for our family, and immediately felt like home to us for the 7 days. It was cozy, clean and had everything that we required for our stay. The covered deck was the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, and the spacious yard provided endless entertainment for my two small children. Toby was very quick to answer any questions I had and was very accommodating! I miss the farmhouse already! ##### Nicole M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Q., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Aug 14, 2018 #### Great farmhouse for family vacation Nicely renovated farmhouse in great property with water views. Well equipped kitchen, perfect for cooking fresh seafood from nearby seafood supply store. Great deck and front yard with lots of kids toys and games (we visited with kids age 5 and 7). Will definitely recommend to friends and family. ##### Matthew Q. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan M. Jul 26, 2018 #### We Can't Wait to Return I’ve stayed with my family in nearly a dozen vacation rentals over the years, and the Darnley Farmhouse is easily our favourite. How could you not enjoy being greeted by yellow warblers and terns as you enter the lane, and basking in the gorgeous sunsets along the Darnley River at night? My kids loved playing tag and capture the flag in the spacious yard, and my wife and I loved being within ten minutes of world class beaches and cycling routes. The home itself also surpassed all of our expectations. Rustic but modern, it perfectly blends convenience with downhome charm. We especially liked the large kitchen and the deck, both of which were perfect for our family meals. We can’t wait to return again next summer! ##### Ryan M.
