"Pictou Beach Retreats" 2 bedroom chalet #20

DeniseRating, 5 stars11 months ago

We were traveling with our infant grandson. Before we arrived Kelly realized our original room would be louder than we might like. She was proactive and moved us to a very quiet room. The accommodations were perfect. The location is beautiful and so very peaceful. We sat outside and just listened to the birds. I told my husband, it finally "felt like summer". We will recommend Kelly and her properties to our friends! We had the very best time. Kelly is a wonderful host.

"Pictou Beach Retreats" 3 Bedroom Chalet #19

TriciaRating, 5 stars9 months ago

We had an amazing 4 night stay in one of the Chalets - we didn't want to leave! The view from the upper chalets is unbelievable. Kelly was a wonderful host! She was always extremely quick to respond and answer any questions - she was even able to assist us retrieve an item that another member of our party, staying in an adjacent chalet, left behind. On the day of arrival, we were able to check-in early and enjoy the property. There was even a welcome gift with some snacks - such a nice 'added touch!' The chalets were as clean and well appointed as we had remembered from previous stays. There were lots of linens available, but there is also a washer and dryer in the chalet. Gary, the groundskeeper was so friendly and told us about some of the history of the property. On site, there is a small beach with loungers & a fire pit, a pond with a new dock and watercrafts. There's a heated pool, small basketball court, a games room and lots of space for biking. We can't wait to return!
