Chester Nova Scotia

This is a great whole home property that offers a lot of easy trip options. There is a super cute small downtown that is a good spot for breakfast / shopping. There is a grocery store super close to the house and the kitchen is well equipped for any meal. The home has no AC but did provide fans. The back yard and deck are spacious but we spent most of our time traveling. This is a great location for families looking to maximize ability to hit Peggy’s Cove as well as down to Crescent Beach and all in between.

Perfect for a large group

This property was the perfect place for a group of old friends to come together to celebrate a wedding. The number of bedrooms and the pullout couch accommodated our large group comfortably, as did the open kitchen and dining rooms. We very much enjoyed the spacious backyard seating area too. Highly recommend this property for your stay in Chester!

Magical place

Where do I start we had such a wonderful time at this lovely house it felt like home. Such a wonderful little village to walk around all the Comforts of home. We had an amazing lunch at the Focsle Pub then we proceeded to walk to the local Beach. Everything you need is within walking distance. They even had a pack and play for a baby. The backyard is so nice to sit out and just enjoy the smell and the sunset. I highly highly recommend this home. And will be back to stay again we had such a nice time. The hosts were incredible great communication great welcome with suggestions. Any questions we had they answered us right away.

Lovely!

We had a great family reunion in Nova Scotia and based half our stay in Chester. The dining room table was the focus of group dinners made in the well supplied kitchen. The back porch and shaded yard area was a welcome refuge for those wanting to sit and read away from the hubbub. The owner was very prompt in answering questions and super friendly, she supplied a badminton set when we asked if she had one, which was totally unnecessary but very kind. The large TV/Family room area was well used in the evenings by those who like to stay up later. There was plenty of room for all ten of us to have our own beds as appropriate. We loved our stay!

Excellent! Highly recommended.

4 well travelled couples had a fantastic time! No matter how many times we have been to Nova Scotia before, every time is different and special in its own way. The people are so welcoming and the views are spectacular! This house did not disappoint! What great times we had exploring through the days and relaxing and enjoying each other’s company once arriving to our home away from home. Truly well thought of decor, very well outfitted kitchen, bathroom, fun and games, as well as little extras for guests. So comfortable and cozy, we were smiling every minute. Thank you to our host preparing your lively home for us and making everything so easy relaxing. Lots of personal touches that we really appreciate as seasoned vacation home renters. Best Trip and vacation home !

They even left us a great welcoming bag with thoughtful gifts and a note. The personal were unexpected and very much appreciated. This house was the perfect spot for our large family holiday.

Overpriced, fragrant, income property

Overall would not recommend staying here! Chester is a beautiful town, with easy access to everything on the south shore. It’s a wealthy little town with character. However, I think these hosts have used this to overcharge for their property. Positives: comfortable beds, beautiful yard, access to south shore; check in easy! Pictures reflect reality Negatives: so many air fresheners that we all had a headache in entering. We actually took them outside for our stay; TV did not work; wireless internet slow; kitchen not well stocked; checkout instructions poor (charged for cleaning above average cleaning time?); dirty doors that need new paint; Overall would not recommend staying here!
