The ferry rides are about 25 to 45 minutes. Cleveland International Airport is about an hour and 20 minutes to the Kelleys Island Ferry Boar Line Service on the mainland.

Walking, bicycling or riding a golf cart are the prominent modes of transportation on Kelleys Island. Families can rent a golf cart from a shop located in town near the Jet Express Ferry dock. Guests are welcome to use the hotel's complimentary bicycles. Parking can be limited throughout the island, so while driving a car is permitted, it's not always convenient.
