Summary: Absolutely beautiful. Spacious, and comfortable.
Eden S. Jul 11, 2025 12:10:16 AM
Summary: This was an amazing property. It was large enough to meet the needs of a group of grandparents, parents, and young children. We were provided a pack and play and a high chair. There was absolutely everything you could want in the kitchen from dishes to spices. With a large group, we tried to make some things prior to our stay, so it was wonderful to have two fridges and a drink fridge on the porch. Our son and daughter-in-law and 2 grandkids stayed in the carriage house and appreciated the privacy and quiet to be able to put the kids to bed. It was so convenient to have a kitchen at their disposal, there as well. The location was fantastic, so near everything we needed to access. Restaurants are so close as well as things like the wonderful Lido Pool in Chester. This is the third year that we have had a family reunion, and The Oaks was definitely the best place we have rented. Thanks to our hosts who answered any questions quickly. They were very helpful and understanding with anything we asked, especially things having to do with the children. We are looking forward to the next time that we can make The Oaks our home away from home!

Summary: The Oaks Seaside Retreat was a great place to stay. It was clean, had everything we needed, and was big enough to allow a person some alone relaxation time if they desired it.

Melanie M. Mar 23, 2025 11:13:02 PM
Summary: Overall we had a great stay, beautiful home. All you needed in the home was provided for. Carriage house was beautiful as well. Our only issue was the hot tub didn't seem clean or have enough water in it. Overall visit was great though.

Summary: A beautiful heritage property with ample room for a girls weekend away. The bedrooms were comfortable and private. The kitchen was well-stocked and large. We would love to come back during the summer to enjoy thegardens and BBQ

Summary: This is a gem of a property. We had 6 adults in our party and it was more than enough room. It is overlooking the beautiful bay and about 10 minutes from Chester. So many beautiful and thoughtful touches from the artwork, extra bedding, fully stocked kitchen, and the most comfortable beds with soft and lovely sheets. Alan is very responsive with all questions and check in was quick and easy. it’s nice as the actual houses, the carriage house just a few steps away above the garage is equally as quaint and impressive with amazing views. Despite it being very cold, we still sat out and enjoyed coffee just to absorb these views.. We are already planning on when we can rent this wonderful home again in warmer weather so we can truly appreciate and utilize all of it specialness. One small thing to note: while there is ample space to work out in the garage, the treadmill is quite dated, and perhaps the weights could be replenished with newer ones. That said, this is minor and does not take away from this property being one of the nicest ones at.we can’t wait to come back.!

Summary: This place has so many lovely little corners that there is somewhere for everyone, even with a large group. Want to read a book on the verandah? Check. Play pool? Check. Have a full Thanksgiving sit-down dinner? Check. Do a puzzle in the sunroom? You get the idea. :) Communication was excellent and everything was well taken care of.
Garth T. Sep 22, 2024 07:50:20 AM
Summary: Great property and location. Will stay again.
