"I surprised my wife with a birthday trip to Beaver Island. I was able to secretly setup a charter flight and a car rental from Duffy. Once we got onto the island, we checked into our cozy little apartment. The unit was extremely clean with all the amenities you would need for your stay. The host, Becca, was very kind and gave us a quick run down of the island. I will definitely book this apartment our next trip up to the island. Thank you Becca!"

"Clean, spacious and comfortable. Beautiful view of Paradise Bay. The location was perfect. I would stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to visit Beaver Island."

"The property is even more impressive in person. It was the perfect stay. Thank you!"

"Beaver Island stole our hearts when we visited this summer. We came back to look at available properties on the island. The apartment was charming, clean and had everything we needed."

"We were looking for a nice, peaceful vacation and this was the spot! Close to the harbor, awesome views and the house was well equipped for us to dine in. I would definitely recommend this wonderful spot."

"Cozy, rustic cottage right on the water. Secluded and quiet aside from the sound of the waves on water and the wind. Warm fireplace inside and fresh crisp air off the water flowing through the windows if you wish. Simply beautiful, relaxing, and special. Loved it, thank you!"

"Overall, great trip. The island is wonderful, the location was good, and we really appreciated it being a dog friendly property. That said, my expectations were higher for cleanliness. Main points: mattresses are stained/need vacuuming and do not have covers. I am very glad we brought blankets. The blankets that are in the house are dirty. There is mess in every drawer/shelf. It is clearly a family vacation home, but it is difficult to get comfortable when there’s no place to put your stuff away. As the pictures show, part of the bathroom is unfinished. That was understood, but the inside of the unfinished bathtub has gotten dirty/moldy and is no longer covered like it is in the picture. The shower needs a very good cleaning, the floor had quite a bit of mildew. There was a persistent smell in the kitchen. Possibly from the disposal or from the cabinet under the sink. We had to find an extension cord in a drawer somewhere to run the disposal (we did not put any food down there). There were cobwebs and spiders in every corner. I suspect that the owners live downstate and rely on someone to clean the place. But it is not being cleaned very well, despite a high rental price and a decent cleaning fee. Other notes: beach is beautiful, but rocky. Chairs by fire pit are broken/uncomfortable, need replacing. Loft sleeping spaces are open to living room and bedroom and accessible by ladders. Kitchen counter/sink needs repair, gap lets water leak into cabinet below."

"The house is always clean and comfortable, with some goofy board games and lots of cozy blankets. We appreciated the quiet place to rest on our work trip to the island."

"We all really enjoyed the house! Plenty of space for our family to spread out. We all could easily come together for food and games. Enjoyed fires outside and walking on the beach. Kids enjoyed sightseeing “the big rock”. They also played with some toys at the house and picked out books to read. We loved the sunsets at the house each night too!"
