Beaver Island revisited

We hadn’t been to Beaver Island in over 30 years. We came because we always loved it here and we still do. Our stay here was perfect- we loved bicycling & new E-Bikes! Dan was super friendly in Boat Shop and his wife as well!

Wonderful Vacation Location

We had a great 5 day stay at The Boat Shop. Our apartment was well appointed with a fantastic view on the long deck. It was close to the grocery store, the brewery and a breakfast/lunch place. We rented a car one day from the boat shop and e-bikes the next day. Fantastic stay, I loved being able to drop in at the grocery and plan a meal or two to cook at the apartment.

Perfect and wonderful!

Loved our stay, lots of space, comfortable, had everything we needed in this apartment style home. The view was great from the deck and even looking out the sliding glass door toward the water. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was great. Appreciated the fans supplied to circulate air and keep us cool for sleeping. The property and neighborhood was quiet and right. Next door to a market. Easy to walk around and explore, grab a bite to eat, do a little shopping. My favorite part was when asked what we needed to do before departure, Carol said" you're on vacation, not us" and we didn't need to do anything!

It was our first time to Beaver Island. We loved every minute of it! Our stay was awesome. Room was just as described and a great location. Clean, roomy, easy checkin/out. Rented a car and it was well worth it. We hiked trails that were so quiet and beautiful! Highly recommend St. James place when staying on the island!

Dog waste

Theey rent to people with dogs and no garbage can to put dog waste in. We were told yo dispose of it in are kitchen garbage. Which we were not going to do so everyday sometimes twice a day we had to go to the beach garbage cans and dispose of the waste there. Also only one sharp knives and toaster didn’t work and this wasva full kitchen. And one bedroom didn't have a screen. The beds were very comfortable but the pillows were flat and old. Bath towels were very thin .
