Highly recommend
We really enjoyed our stay at Kelly Krest. Great beach house, beautiful views and perfect location to enjoy the beach and quick cart ride into town. Harbour island has beautiful beaches, really impressive restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, and boutiques for shopping. We also had Portia cater a delicious breakfast…as an alternative to our morning trip into town to one of several bakeries with eggs, smoothies, coffees and pastries. Laurel and Kenya were very helpful and friendly…all around great experience at Kelly Krest.

Another amazing stay at Kelly Krest
This was our second time staying at Kelly Krest and it once again did not disappoint. There were some lovely upgrades made to the property that did not go unnoticed (central AC in main rooms). We had an amazing time and plan to come back as soon as we can. Thank you again to Shevaun and Laurel for always taking such great care and for your kindness and flexibility, we always appreciate it!

Such a perfection location, ideally situated directly on the beach. Close to town and all the amenities, restaurants, and nightlife. We travel to Harbour Island often and will add this to our roster of places to stay. The house team was very welcoming. Plenty of space for a party of 6 adults. Thanks for the great stay!

Kelly Krest was perfect for us.
Kelly Krest exceeded expectations and I can’t wait to go back! This was my 5th visit to Harbour Island. Over the years, I’ve stayed in 2 other rental houses, at South Bar, and at Coral Sands. All were lovely but Kelly Krest was outstanding. The house is just right, with a great, updated kitchen and baths, and pretty, comfortable decor. The highlight is the fantastic beachside deck, with a smaller deck just steps above the beach. The setting is absolutely gorgeous and the location is perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing!

When you book any property, wherever, you always think of Paradise, well when you arrive at Kelly Krest you know you’ve actually arrived in Paradise. It’s a stunning family property that offers everything and more, the location is without doubt the best you could ever wish for. All the facilities both inside and outside are immaculate. We’ve just had the best fortnight ever, it was so relaxing and with its location, we were able to totally chill out and integrate into life on the Island. We are going back, of that is no doubt, we’ve booked for a fortnight next year, now that’s the best recommendation one can make. If you are thinking about booking don’t delay for it surely won’t always be available, it’s simply the best. January 2022

The house is perfect and the view is as good as it can get!
The outdoor decks, patios and lounging spaces are absolutely fantastic. Three outdoor L-shaped couches, multiple lounges and six outdoor dining spaces make it easy to find a spot in or out of the Sun/breeze depending on what you want. The inside of the house is well decorated and fit our family well. The view from the deck is awesome. We snorkeled the reefs out in front of the house and saw a huge variety of fish. Short walk down the beach to the lunch spots or a quick golf cart ride into town. Our daughter rode the horses on the beach which passed by the house everyday. Fun all around and can’t wait to get back! The house manager was incredibly helpful, Thanks again to everyone! TM

The bedrooms and kitchen have A/C, but the middle living area does not (but there is a nice ocean breeze). Kitchen is dated, but that did not affect our enjoyment of the house.

This is a dream house, enormous outdoor facilities and everything we needed and more on the inside. The pictures of the decks and the view sold us on renting it, but if it's possible, the pics don't even do it justice - it's better in real life. Shevaun and Laurel were incredible hosts and covered everything as well as promptly answered any questions we had while planning the trip.

Harbor Island is perfection by itself. The views, the food and, most importantly, the people, could not create a more perfect vacation spot. But Laurel, the property manager, went out of her way to accommodate a crazy airline experience we had and make our trip so special. Kelly Krest is a wonderful home with a deck that offers the most spectacular views you can imagine. We will be coming back for certain.

Perfection on Harbour Island
Perched above the beautiful pink beach of Harbour Island, Kelly Krest is the perfect spot for friends or family to gather. We were 3 couples and found the property to be wonderful— spacious (inside and out) and wonderfully appointed with very comfy beds, great linens, a fully stocked kitchen and more. The house cleaner was great: unobtrusive and kept the place spotless (everyday!) My one suggestion would be beach umbrellas to bring some shade to the beach, but there are plenty of spots to find shade outdoors on the many decks when you need a break. Great location. Great vibe. We will be back!!

Beach Front Heaven
Kelly Krest was absolutely perfect for our family of 7 for 5 nights. The photos were accurate in every way and the house was awesome. The location is the best on the beach. We walked the beach to several restaurants, Sip Sip, Ocean View, Runaway Hill, and used the golf carts to get around the town. Super easy and convenient. Would highly recommend this house for friends or family. They have a lovely woman who comes in each morning to tidy up and clean as well. Can't say enough good things! 5 stars in my book!

Beachfront Oasis!!!
Dreamy.... is the best way to describe our time at Kelly Krest. The house looks even better in person than in all the lovely photos. The ocean breeze that sooths over you while visiting in the great room is just magical. Each bedroom has it own A/C which stays right at the temperature you desire. Leaving the option for guests to open their windows to the ocean air in the evenings; if they wish. I loved waking up and opening the double doors to the oceanfront view. The lower sundeck is just a wonderful addition. We spent our days on the sundeck and a few evenings star gazing as well. This truly is a special property and one I know our family will be back to visit. Shevan was so attentive and responsive. Mark and Rachel took such good care of us during our stay; with such professionalism and care. There is also plenty of deck space for yoga and workouts!

We just returned from a week long stay at the Kelly Krest property on Harbour Island. The home is beautiful. I loved the comfort and beauty of the interior. Everywhere we turned another area of the expansive decks was beckoning us to relax. The view of the beach and ocean didn’t seem real. The most beautiful water I have ever seen with amazing snorkeling right off the reef out your back door. We loved every minute of our stay and hope to return one day. Thank you
