Precious Memories on the Lake Michigans “Emerald Isle!
This place was exactly what we needed! A place to unplug and unwind from the daily demands of being a business owner. Simple and perfect. The back yard was absolutely gorgeous to say the least! We couldn’t have had a better beach view. The home was very nice and clean. We had everything we needed to make our week stay absolutely perfect! Just minutes away from the beautiful town of St. James where the people are very friendly. We felt like part of the community. We definitely left a part of our heart on Beaver Island! We’re already planning our next escape from the mainland! We’ll be back!🥰☘️🛳️🛩️

Beautiful spot
This home sits on a beautiful piece of property. I stayed with my daughter, her husband and their 2 children. We had plenty of room and a lot of fun. The host was great and responded very quickly to any questions.

Perfect five days
Our family loved our stay. Our boys asked if we could stay forever and us adults were sad as well to have to pack up and go. We look forward to making it a yearly visit to Beaver Island.

Blast from the Past
Visiting Beaver Island is like stepping back into a kinder, gentler time! We loved everything about our stay. It was peaceful and we spent days biking (we brought our own, but there are rentals in town) around the island roads and trails. This house couldn’t have been more perfect for what we wanted: relaxed, comfortable with awesome sunrise view and beach. John the host is extremely responsive, friendly and accommodating. It may have been a once-in-a-lifetime chance, but I finally knocked seeing the Northern Lights off my bucket list… right from the back porch!

Cozy, clean, incredible!
We stayed at the cabin with our 9 year old son for 4 days. We all absolutely loved it! It was very clean, cozy, and had everything we needed to include a smart TV, charcoal grill, and great kitchen amenities. The cottage was, in our opinion, on the best stretch of beach on the island. The host responded to our questions very well and made the check in and check out process a breeze. Will stay here again!

Anyone looking for a beautiful spot on the shore of lake michigan please check this one out! Lovely home only steps away from the Lake. Beds were comphy, lots of games to play, house was clean, nice big screen tv for those rainy days, and where we were most was on the beautiful deck soaking up the sun or watching the stars. Owner was very fast to get back to you if needed. I would highly recommend this home!

A Terrific Week!
My family loved staying at this wonderful house - it is on a beautiful stretch of beach with a sandy bottom under the water that was shallow enough for the kids to really enjoy. The house had plenty of space and bedrooms for us all, lots of tables for eating and playing games and a well equipped kitchen. Owner was incredibly responsive. Would return again!

Calm and Peaceful Getaway
Our stay was lovely! Waking up and walking out with a cup of coffee just steps away from amazing Lake Michigan took our breath away each day. Sand Bay is beautiful and we loved being able to walk our puppy on the sand and wade out into the crystal clear water. The home has everything you need and more. We wanted a peaceful and quiet place to getaway from the hustle and this stay was just what we needed!
