We were in Paradise!

We only stayed one night at the Boat Shop - Captain Quarters on Beaver Island, but it was absolutely unforgettable. The space was clean, cozy, and full of character — you can feel the thought and care that went into every detail.The view was the true standout. Watching the harbor from the windows and taking in the peaceful water and sky was incredibly relaxing — the kind of view that stays with you long after you leave.Even in a short stay, we felt completely at home. The location was perfect for exploring the island, and the hosts were warm, welcoming, and helpful.We wish we had more time and are already hoping to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful getaway — even if just for a night!

Terrific spot to stay close to everything you need - grocery store, deli, harbor, and other island services plus a beautiful harbor view. The apartment is comfortable and has all the basics you need for an enjoyable island stay. I will be back!

Excellent location within walking distance of downtown, grocery store, and light house. Excellent view of Harbor. Room was clean, overall, with the exception of the toaster which had significant bread crumb accumulation. We did not use the toaster but cleaned it prior to departure. Would suggest adding cleaning of toaster to Housekeeping checklist. We had a question following our departure and called Carol to discuss. Our phone call went to voicemail so we left a message requesting a return call. A return call was not received so we called the next day. Again, our phone call went to voicemail so we left a 2nd message requesting a return call. A return call was not received so we called again the 3rd day and left a 3rd voicemail message requesting a return call. We then received a text message from Carol with a reply "Check your email . . . " We placed a 4th call and left a voice mail message requesting a return call to discuss the situation but have not received one at the time of this feedback. We were planning to stay at this location for our trip next year to Beaver Island but will now seek accommodations with a Host who is welcoming and willing to speak with customers on the phone regarding questions.

Nice, comfortable and convenient place to stay. We only had bikes with us and it was only a few blocks from the ferry and very close to Wild Strawberry Cafe for good food and the market. We had warm weather and wondered if it was hot if the one fan would have been enough, as there is no a/c, but it worked out well for us. The view is beautiful!

Great place & location

This was our first trip to Beaver Island and absolutely loved it. The apartment was 0.5 mile from town and the grocery store is almost next door. It was great having a kitchen and the patio overlooking the bay was wonderful. We had our car and there was ample parking. Highly recommend this property if you are visiting Beaver Island.

We loved our stay on Beaver Island. Carol was a a fantastic host. It was raining when our ferry got in so she so nice and able to picked us up and drove us to our accommodations which because we were staying off season were ready early. She was very helpful the next day when we wanted to rent a car as well so we could explore more of the island. Our accommodations were clean and quiet and on a gorgeous part of the island.
