Awesome escape to Beaver Island!

We loved our trip to Beaver Island! It was our first time to the island. We loved how quiet and calm it was even during peak summer! The location of the house was great- easy to ride bikes to most places with small kids. Tip: if you are visiting for the first time and want your vehicle on the island- make sure to book your vehicle ferry ticket SUPER EARLY! we were late in booking and had to send our car back early which was tricky for packing and traveling around on those days.

Wonderful and very relaxing!

Very comfortable. Wonderful being so close to the grocery store. Nice view of the Bay when cars not parked across the street. Walking distance to the beach and everything else. In the house we think it would have been very helpful to have a high chair for small children. Host was very helpful and attentive, which we also appreciated. Thank you! Hope to come back!

Very comfortable!

We loved our stay. The home, sofas and beds were comfortable. Kitchen well equipped and we loved the round table for eating and playing games. We spent mornings on the deck drinking coffee. In the late afternoon we used the front lawn and picnic table to watch the harbor and have a drink. The location was great, next door to grocery store and brewery. You don’t need a car. We brought our e-bikes which were handy for getting to the new pickleball courts. Took yoga at the Community Center, visited the history museum and the beach at Donnegall Bay. We would rent again.
