The New York City based daytime talk show, ‘Live with Regis and Kelly’, arrived on PEI a few days ago to set up production and all of PEI is taking notice. The crowds are huge, as are the expectations for what this visit will do to increase PEI tourism and recognition for Canada’s smallest province in the U.S. "Many people simply do not know that PEI exists", said Robert Ghiz (PEI’s top politician) in a recent interview. The PEI government has been strongly critisized in recent weeks for shelling out about one million in tax payer’s funds to lure the highly rated U.S. morning program to do four shows on Canada’s Island Paradise, but PEI tourism officials stand by their decision to bring Regis Philbin and Kelly Rippa to the Birthplace of Confederation and hope the move will be a panacea for the Island’s sluggish performance as a tourist mecca in recent years.

Others question the wisdom and performance of PEI Tourism officials for maintaining ‘The Gentle Island’ advertising campaign that has been widely critisized as unimaginative and ineffective in recent years. There is little doubt that the ‘Regis and Kelly’ show will have a positive impact  to some degree. Future statistics will show if the effects will be long lasting or simply ‘fly by night’, but thousands of people are embracing the excitement. Some may  argue that it’s simply a ‘Hail Mary Pass’ late in the fourth quarter and not a more elaborate initiative designed to provide a well defined marketing strategy- time will tell.

Amazing views of the local rolling hills greet you as you enjoy your morning coffee. This gorgeous property provides an opportunity for an idyllic country lifestyle and could be easily adapted to operate a `Tea Room` or B&B in the adjacent barn. Situated directly beside the `Confederation Trail` in this picturesque village, it`s the perfect escape from the busy world. Retire in peace or raise your children in safety with great schools within close reach. And it`s been tastefully renovated in recent years. Even the septic and roof shingles have been recently updated. This `Jewel` in the friendly and quaint village of Emerald could very easily be your piece of PEI paradise.

This stunning seaside PEI property has been operated as a B&B for a number of years, but would be equally as brilliant as a hobby farm, private holiday estate, year round residence, retreat center, hostel, or rental home. There is also a separate 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom guesthouse, which could supply an income as a summer weekly rental. Guests of the popular B&B have periodically awoken to whales and porpoises swimming by and lobster boats and seals are daily visitors. Nova Scotia can be seen from your deck and the twelve acre property offers absolute privacy. Located on a solid rock cliff, the views of the warm Northumberland Strait are unparalleled. This property in British Columbia would cost in the millions, but in PEI it can be your dream property for under 420,000.

Please contact Hamish Redpath for a special viewing of this spectacular home. 902.659.2778. This is the type of property any artist or creative soul would seriously appreciate. A real find for PEI, located just down the road from the Rossignol Winery.

This 5.8 acre property 35 minutes east of Charlottetown has amazing views of Nova Scotia and was once a popular B&B. Would be great PEI B&B again or ideal private residence.

Vancouver, BC now boasts an average house price of one million dollars and waterfront property in the millions. Prince Edward Island is one alternative offering affordable real estate and the dream of oceanfront ownership.

(I-Newswire) May 3, 2010 - A new trend is afoot thanks to an average housing price in Vancouver, BC of one millions dollars, which makes multi-million dollar waterfront and water view properties only possible for the ultra elite. It seems this new reality is fueling a growing exodus of honest hard working BC residents who now realize that home ownership, a comfortable retirement, shore front/view land, and a safe environment for family are likely far more possible on ‘Canada’s Island Paradise -a.k.a. Prince Edward Island.

PEI offers affordable land, homes, water front or water view possibilities, like a recently listed sea view home and cottage business with repeat clientele for under five hundred thousand in French River. A similar BC property with this type of home and renovated cottages would be worth well into the millions. A retiree can also expect to find a quaint three bedroom home in a fishing village with water views for under one-hundred thousand. In BC, you would pay at least several hundred thousand for such a home with water views.

Hamish Redpath of www.LivethePEIdream.com , a resource for anyone who loves PEI, offers his perspective, "PEI is a natural alternative for people seeking a safe haven to raise kids or retire. The island is amazing, affordable, fun, has great theatre and golf, and the winters are a lot shorter than rumoured- It’s paradise!"

This house is set back off Main st. in Murray River and  is close to fun shops and a restaurant. This quaint fishing village can’t be beat for charm and personality. People love the eastern part of the island for its rustic nature, friendly folk, warm waters, and peaceful energy. The house offers period detail, large rooms, and lots of character on one third acre. call for a viewing today.
