Amazing location with wonderful farmyard, cool ocean breezes and great views. The associated beach front is great with kids at low or high tide. Loved our stay, and look forward to returning again in the future.
Classic design with modern amenities, very well kept and cared for. The ocean in this area is surprisingly warm and shallow, an excellent way to spend an afternoon.
Couldn't have been happier with this home. Everything was perfect, the home and property were all clean and accessible. The home itself is beautiful and Ron was a pleasure to deal with. Can't go wrong staying here!

We are glad you enjoyed your time on PEI at Wexford House and are hoping that you and your family can come back another time soon!
This stately 1887 house is beautifully maintained & updated with charming décor, amazing lawns & pretty gardens. There is lots of space for several couples or extended families. The property has it’s own beach which is idéal for exploring & children. Nearby we would recommend Canoë Cove for kids when the tide is low. And there is very good golfing at Country View. Further afield, it’s central for daytrips to PEI’s many wonderful beaches, seafood restaurants, great golfing, Charlottetown & provincial & national parks. It is fantastic value & the owner is super.
Our family had a great time staying at Wexford Heritage House. Ron was a wonderful and gracious host. The 1887 house is beautifully maintained, fully equipped and has been updated with charming décor. There are large lawns at the property with plenty of space for young children to safely play. The property has its own beach which is great for exploring and fun for children. We visited Canoe Cove Beach and played a round of golf at nearby Glen Afton. Our family had a fabulous dinner at the Lobster Barn in Victoria. Charlottetown and the beautiful sandy beaches on the north shore are a relatively short drive from the house. I highly recommend Wexford Heritage House as place to stay when visiting PEI.
Such a beautiful house for our family to gather, relax, and explore the area. The house was incredibly clean, spacious, well equipped and just lovely overall. Ron was very easy to communicate with, and the location was perfect! Near beaches and a short jaunt to Charlottetown. We had seniors, teens and a four year old. Enough space for folks to spread out, visit, play and sleep. Can’t say enough about how fabulous this house is!!!

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our place for your extended family gathering. Our goal is to provide a relaxing centrally located venue for guests of all ages to enjoy.
Thanks for leaving the house in such a tidy condition- our housekeepers surely appreciated that. You are most welcome back again anytime!
We enjoyed a wonderful week at Wexford Heritage House. It is a lovely old house, tastefully restored, with enough original finish work for it to maintain lots of its historic charm.
Spacious enough for a large group, and with abundant outdoor seating opportunities too.
Well-equipped kitchen, great for preparing food, or just relaxing.
Beds are firm and comfortable, and I was able to get fantastically restful sleep. Cool evening breezes in early August.
The beach across the street is a nearby bonus, and it's an easy drive to bigger beaches and other attractions. Very convenient to Charlottetown.
Just a great place!
We had a wonderful stay at the Wexford Farmhouse. The house had everything that we needed and is very comfortable. We stayed at the house together with another family with children of the same age (aspiring teenagers).
There is a nice little beach nearby. With the central location it is easy to go see Charlottetown and other attractions on the island. The area is quiet and relaxing. The large grass area is excellent for the children to play frisbee.
The communication with the owner Ron was excellent. He called us to see if everything was in order and gave us a few tips for things to see and visit.

It was our pleasure to have you stay at Wexford House. We are happy your stay was a pleasant one, and we welcome you back again anytime!
This was our annual sibling trip. There were 4 couples and one single. Everyone had their own sleeping room. We ate in 5 of the 8 nights and everything we needed for cooking was there! Have never seen such a well stocked home. We wanted for nothing. The house has the feel and look of old nostalgia but with modern updates. The yard, amazing! The views, spectacular! The cleanliness we arrived to, top notch!! Anyone who rents this fabulous home will not be disappointed. Can't say enough....thank you, thank you!!!
Nous avons passé une semaine parfaite dans cette maison extraordinaire. Ron est un hôte hors pair, communication rapide et précise. Je dirais que la maison est encore mieux que la description. Un site enchanteur, un beau grand terrain avec beaucoup d’intimité. .
Merveilleux emplacement.
La maison est grande et magnifique.
Bien aménagée.
Toute la famille a adorée.

Thank-you Amanda for your kind words. We are so pleased you enjoyed Wexford House. We look forward to your return!
Perfect house for a family vacation. Quiet, roomy with a wonderful view. Central location to explore all of the island. As a bonus we found out that the land right below was settled by my great great grandfather.
The house and property exceeded our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and spacious. It was a perfect mix of antiques and modern furniture. We loved walking down to the private beach with red cliffs and sand. The out buildings, rolling fields and view of water from the windows were breathtaking. It’s in a good location for island day trips. As a family, we have wanted to visit PEI for 30 years. It was a truly memorable trip thanks to this house. We even felt like it was a modern version of Anne’s home! I highly recommend it!
Our family enjoyed our week in this beautiful home! The house was spacious and very accommodating for our group of 10. The outdoor space provided lots of room for the kids to run and play. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the front porch. We loved the warm water and exploring at the private beach. Great location and a short drive to Charlottetown. Highly recommend!
Notre voyage a été formidable.
La maison est grande , belle et bien aménagée. L’endroit est tranquille et beau. À 15 minutes de l’épicerie et 20 minutes de la ville et des restaurants.. les plages sont belles.
This house has an amazing amount of character! You can tell this house has been a labour of love to get it restored to its current glory. Everything we needed was easily found and we had a very comfortable week long stay. The big yard was awesome for my 4 year old nephew to run around and play. The location was great for us, on a quiet road with a nice long driveway. Ron was very easy to communicate with and got back to us in a timely manor. We would stay here again in the future!!
Gorgeous, large rooms, well equipped and decorated. Lovely decks for outdoor enjoyment & short walk to red sands beach with warm salt water. Ample parking. Quick drive to Charlottetown and Victoria-by- the Sea
The stay at Wexford has been one of the most enjoyable vacations our family has ever had. The beauty of Prince Edward Island is fabulous, but the house added to the pleasure of this trip. If we were to return to PEI, we would certainly request the property again, and we will definitely recommend it our friends.

A Classic Location for All Your PEI Adventures
If you are looking for a vacation at a property which is comfortable and classic, this is the place! We had the farm to ourselves. It was very comfortable and quiet, but also near enough to Charlottetown to get in to the city regularly. Additionally, it was central to getting to both Eastern and Western portions of the island. Excellent choice for a holiday.
