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.

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!

Harley Davidson 120th Anniversary Trip

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.

Time on the boat

We loved sitting on the deck in the evening. On night it rained and the boat rocked just enough to put us to sleep.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Irish mist not what it says it is

False advertised Terrible fuel smell Can’t use the washroom or shower Broken fridge Had to get a hotel Very disappointed

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Sept, 2022
This is an extortion review to try and get a free stay. We have never had any issues with this vessel. #1. Fuel tanks are empty. #2 Fridge works fine as long as you close the door. #3. There are two washrooms on the boat that are fully functional. Nothing is broken. Shower is not broken and works fine. As a matter of fact we have a shower facility with 12 working showers for the men and another 12 for the men that is super clean. The boat is available but we ask our guests to use the showers less than 100 feet from the boat. The guests claimed one in the party has claustrophobia and didn't want to stay. They booked for 3 people, but had 4 people for three beds. VRBO should remove this post.
