Beautiful setting, very peaceful with lovely linens on the beds. The kitchen is fully stocked, the sitting room is comfortable and the outside decks are amazing. The little village of Chester was close by with a cozy pub offering live music on select nights and the local playhouse had local talent performing while we were there. We would stay again

Cove side cottage

A well equipped cottage and beautifully appointed on a protected cove. Beautiful deck, comfortable beds, great kitchen and nice to have to have access to washer/dryer. This was just what we were looking for - relaxation with ocean views.

It was charming, and a lovely location. The only downsides were the steep driveway, and the stairs and ramps you needed to walk to get to the porch and deck. Yi was very prompt to respond to my questions, and I loved that there were plenty of towels. The bed was comfortable too!

Hidden gem

Such amazing, luscious foliage reminiscent of a scene from a fairytale. The home was full of character and super cozy with everything we needed. Yi was a friendly, attentive host and we felt very welcome. I hope to be able to enjoy this little gem another time.

A relaxing home away from home

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage very much. A quiet and peaceful spot by the water with all the comforts of home. Enjoyed morning coffee and hot chocolate on the deck by the Bay, with three different seating areas to choose from. We had great weather all week and the cottage was centrally located near all the places we wanted to visit. Yi was the perfect host; great communication in advance of our arrival and she checked in with us a few times during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet spot by the water. We would definitely rent this property again.

We wanted a place that was nice and quiet. We didn't require a lot of amenities otherwise. But we were very impressed with what we got. The hosts were very helpful in our communication. We found the place impeccably clean, and the views to the cove were very nice. We used the place as a base to get to know the surrounding area, and then could come back and relax in the evening. One can get some groceries within a few minutes as necessary, and the closest town, Chester, has some very nice dinning options. As far as parking, it is useful to be ok with backing up (a back camera in the car is very nice). Not a problem at all for us, though.

By lake...

The driveway was VERY steep and lose gravel....hard to turn around....finally decided to back down driveway...very scary.... This was NOT a separate house, but half of a house that was turned into a rental on half.... Washer and dryer was shared by owner and their clothes in a basket by W/D. The location was peaceful sitting and listening to the water of the lake.

Weekend Getaway

Love the location absolutely beautiful view of the ocean sail boats and motor boats. My favourite was the upper and lower decks breakfast and coffee on the upper deck and lazing the afternoon on the lower deck. Kitchen was well stocked, bathroom was stunning with extra features such as fog free mirror, towel warmer, lighting added a special touch and amazing shower. There was a nice breeze off the ocean and air conditioning inside. We throughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back

It should have been disclosed that the property owners had full access to the unit (via shared laundry room) while you were in the unit. They could walk in on you any time as the door was locked from their side.

Stay in East Chester

The house was nice, beautiful and private, yard could have been mowed, microwave wasn't cleaned and our last night the lady said she was coming to take the garbage out but they stayed next door all night. A little dissapointing,but over all was a nice place to unwind
