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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Piece of paradise by the sea

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.

Sheer heaven

We stayed four days in Yi & Kuangs beautiful cottage on Squid Bay. The cottage is spacious with two large bedrooms with comfortable hotel class beds and small but well appointed bathroon with shower and a washer and dryer which we appreciated. Also a well appointed kitchen and a cozy living-room and dining room with beautiful views. There is a lovely wrap around verandah and covered front porch to relax on as well as a large dock with an large umbrella and lounge chairs to enjoy. The cottage is centrally located and within an hour from Halifax Stanfield Airport. Yi responded to any inquiries promptly and was a very pleasant host. We highly recommend staying in Yi&Kuangs beautiful VRBO.

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.

Beautiful view,

The property is in a nice location with beautiful views of the bay. There is a nice deck down near the water with 2 lounge chairs to relax on. There are no rails on the deck and a short drop below. I would not recommend this property for people with kids.The beds are comfortable,although we could have used some extra blankets. The shower unit is quiet small and a tall or large person could not fit. The bidet was a nice feature and the host supplied plenty of toiletries. The living room and dining room have great views. The living furniture was a bit of a disappointment. There was small hard sette and 2 hard chairs. The recliner was comfortable, but for only one of us. A suggestion would be to have a couple of cozy couches. Also, there were plenty of clean towels, but no washcloths. Overall, a great stay and just a few suggestions.
