What a delightful, perfect little house! Although the pictures are wonderful, it is even more beautiful in person, and the gas fireplace was especially cozy on a windy, cool fall night. The views were excellent morning and night, and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Thank you so much for a great visit!

A peaceful retreat, in a nice and comfy cottage. Every item needed was there, and many extras as well. We can’t ask for more: nature, sea, luxurious setting and a very responsive host. Thank you Kelly.

Our stay at Kelly’s was relaxing and peaceful. Her home has such a warm and welcoming vibe and is thoughtfully designed to reflect Nova Scotia’s island life. The view is beautiful too! Highly recommend! One of the best designed places I have visited.
