This house made our stay on the island perfect! It has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing time. The house was clean, has lots of room for everyone and the screened in porch was our favorite place to hang out, drink our morning coffee and watch the hummingbirds:) The hosts are amazing, had zero issues checking in or out. Would definitely rent again if we ever visit the island again!

Kelley’s Island Screened Inn

Was perfect for what I needed. Cleanliness was great. Every amenity you could ask for. Only complaint is the AC didn’t work great during the day, but place stayed manageable.

Thank you for your review! We understand about the AC. It is a new unit, but the west facing windows really get direct sun. We appreciate your comments! Sarah and Mike

This is the fourth year we’ve stayed here. The driveway has ample parking for two boats and trucks with no problems. The house is immaculate and well stocked. Also the house is pretty large inside so if you catch a bad weather day and can’t get out , everyone can move freely about. The kitchen is very clean and stocked with the needed equipment. The freezers have ample space for fish storage.Highly recommended and hopefully it’s available again next year

Property was very clean and plenty of room for our family. The screened in porch was perfect to sit on each night. The furniture on the deck wasn't comfortable. The living room furniture was also uncomfortable. The bathroom by the guest plumbing is backwards for hot and cold. Sorry for the not so good review.
