This was a unique opportunity for us and something we will definitely do again! The Marina was very quiet (we stayed Sunday through Thursday). It was nice to sit outside and relax and watch the birds during the day and other wildlife (American Mink!) in the harbor at night. It was our first vacation in many years and being on the Irish Mist really took us away from our usual patterns. Everything was clean and the separate "rooms" gave us the ability to stay organized and make our own meals when we got in from ventures into Racine and Madison. Everything was supplied, but as outdoorsy folks, we brought our own favorite collapsible bench and frying pan. The showers were very clean and everything was well maintained. Hope to come back!

Fun weekend getaway

Had a lovely time exploring Racine, and enjoying the accomodations on the Irish Mist V. The entire marina community was very welcoming, and you can't beat ending the day with a dip in the pool and hot tub.

Great experience

The communication with the owner was superb. The amenities were awesome! A cool unique experience near awesome lakefront. Peaceful marina with a restaurant that has great food and a warm pool. Would recommend older kids though if you want to have a relaxing time haha.

Girls’ Getaway

An incredibly relaxing stay on the Irish Mist. Equipped with everything we needed including A/C on a very hot and humid night. However there was always a breeze off the lake! Clean and comfy. Folks at the marina - staff and guests were very friendly. The boat was very stable during the storm with high winds and torrential rain. We hope to visit again!

Would do it again

Never thought about staying on a boat…. Then, it was a good idea. Not an ordinary hotel, so it took a moment to get my bearings, but all of my questions had intuitive answers. Yes, I would do it again

Great way to celebrate my 60th

A stellar night and morning at Racine’s Reefpoint Marina aboard Irish Mist V was an excellent time! The boat has an awesome deck for 4, and pleasant sleeping accommodations. Close to parking and bathrooms. We took advantage of the marina pool and bathrooms and watched the full moon and fiery sun arise over Lake Michigan. Our trio of mature women hunkered in at about 11pm and enjoyed a movie to carry us into the next day. Patrick was wonderful and responsive. Take advantage of a unique VRBO experience in the beautiful city of Racine WI!

Very nice stay on the Irish Mist. The boat had plenty of space for 3 ladies celebrating a birthday. Patrick was very quick at responding to our questions and made the check in process quick and easy. The marina is very safe, clean and has wonderful amenities. I’m so glad we stayed here. Marina life is fun.

Spontaneous Weekend Getaway

Our stay was above and beyond our expectations. We would definitely recommend this for a fun and different from the norm getaway. The host Patrick was kind enough to stop by after we checked in and gave us recommendations on what was going on that weekend which was spot on and fun to do.

Marina VBRO: 5 stars

Perfect getaway for my granddaughters and I! Irish Mist V was more than we’d expectedk!! More room, a great Marina location, cool overnight breezes and solitude. The pool/hot tubs were a bonus. Definitely a 5-star getaway for us!

Great location! The Irish Mist V is ideal for an adult couple, a little too cozy for two adult couples, in my opinion. Host was responsive and helpful, very patient with my inexperience with VRBO. I’d definitely recommend this property and I would use it again myself.

It was a beautiful boat with plenty of room for My daughter, granddaughter, and myself. The host was thoughtful. The marina had alot of things to do, shopping was near by. It was a little warm with not much relief in the bedrooms. We made it a slumber party and slept in the living room with the air-conditioning.

Never stayed in a boat before, it was different but good. Patrick was great with communication, only thing I would ask/change is for people from out of town to let them know the Boat Shop is on first floor of the Brew Pub

Fun and Different

We chose the Irish Mist for our holiday staycation. We are so glad we did. Patrick helped overcome some reservation difficulties, and was a prompt and helpful communicator throughout. The marina location is ideal, and we were able to walk to local venues and enjoy the town. Being on a boat was a nice change up from a hotel, and we would definitely do it again. Highly recommend the host, location and process.
