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!

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.

Relaxing on the bay

The apartment was perfect. Everything we needed was there. The view off the deck was wonderful. The location was perfect since we had no car and this apartment is located in the center of town. Very quiet and very relaxing. With the owner just downstairs it was very handy for asking questions about town and things to do. We'll be back.

Captain’s Quarters were perfect for our stay on Beaver Island. Lovely view overlooking the bay, clean apartment with everything we needed. Not sure about the kitchen just because we were only there one night and since we were taking a much needed break we ate out.
