Located in Kinkora, Prince Edward Island, Chez Shea is a tastefully decorated Bed and Breakfast Inn. A grand old home built in 1921 by M. J. McIvor - a successful Island farmer who was a pioneer in the potato industry. The home was considered the "community hall" where during its day most community celebrations occurred - specifically weddings and related celebrations.
McIvor's status came undone during the depression of the 1930's.The home was sold to the Sisters of St. Martha's who converted it into St. Stanislaus Convent in 1935.
The Sisters ran a boarding school for ladies who attended the first rural high school on the Island. The historic room now serves as our morning room.
The convent was dissolved in 1993 and the facility was used as a 'room and board' for the men who built the Confederation Bridge. Still today, the Inn is fondly referred to as "The Convent" by locals.
St. Stanislaus Convent - 1956
The Inn was opened in 1998 and has provided many Guests with warm memories of their Island holidays and special occasions. Chez Shea offers guests a secluded environment affording an opportunity to truly appreciate our Island culture.
