Lake Michigan/Beaver Island with incredible private beach

Want to get away from it all? Come unplug on Beaver Island with beautiful four bedroom, three bath home right on Lake Michigan....beach literally in back yard!! Sweeping views with amazing window seats flanking entire upstairs living room. Beautiful natural landscaping, stunning sunrises! Incredible screened porch and decks. See why Beaver Island is called the Emerald Isle and a "hidden gem."

Stunning 100 ft of beach, sandy bottom on 1.5 acre wooded lot. Stunning views from living room, bedrooms, and decks. Great view of lake from downstairs living room also! Private setting. Perfect 70 to 80 degree weather with amazing clear blue water. Water clarity is magnificent compared to landlocked homes. Very low light pollution makes this an unforgettable vacation where you can actually see the Northern Lights when conditions are right! Enjoy hiking, fishing, scuba diving, boat rentals, restaurants. There are even two sunken treasures off the island to explore. Unique Irish private island flavor with very friendly community.

Taxis, car rentals, hospital, grocery all on island. No reason to leave, but also quick flight to Mackinac Island. Mackinac is about an hour drive from Charlevoix. The ferry is 2.5 hour ride. We recommend the plane, which leaves from Charlevoix and is only around $65 per person for fifteen minute flights. Stunning views from plane!! Planes come and go from island multiple times per day. Easily accessible by ferry or quick plane ride for very low rates.

We have kayaks in garage for use, as well as several bikes. Firepit and charcoal grill also on site, along with pack-n-play for little ones. Accommodates 8-10 adults with current bedding and one small child in pack and play.

A perfect place for our three generations of family. There were plenty of rooms to sleep and gather. The beach is amazing! We enjoyed the gorgeous sunrises, swimming, and bonfire at night. A short drive to town yet very quiet and peaceful. The owners have put a lot of thought into all the extras: kayaks, bikes, beach towels galore, bug spray, refrigerated aloe, games, puzzles, etc. A beautiful home away from home for the week.

Fourth of July success

We stayed with our infant & husband, my brother his wife 3 kids, my parents, and my other brother with his wife and two kids… kid ages ranged from 1.5-16, adults 37-63 and everyone there had a blast and something to do. Fourth of July parade and fireworks in town did not disappoint, we had the most beautiful sunrises right outside our window, some perfect beach days and night time bonfires, a very relaxing vacation everyone needed. They were extremely quick to respond to any messages, gave lots of advice on where to go and even reminded us when to call the ferry early on so we would be able to bring our cars over as that part books quick! Would stay here again if allowed, kiddos and adults all had a wonderful time.

Wonderful family retreat

The home is beautiful with a stunning view of Sand Bay. It is virtually new, so the rooms were spacious, which you don't always get on BI. The general living spaces were warm and thoughtfully conceived, and we had all we needed for indoor games, outdoor toys, and kitchen materials. It has a wonderful beach; I suggest water shoes as there are a few rocks. Our hosts were accommodating and responsive before and during our stay. We loved staying there and would do it again in a heartbeat!

We thoroughly enjoyed this well equipped beach home on the shores of Beaver Island! Josh is an excellent host who genuinely cares about his guests having a hassle free and pleasant stay at their Island home. It’s well stocked with beach and other outdoor toys and equipment to enhance your enjoyment of the space. Lazy mornings, enjoying the stunning Lake Michigan views and Stargazing by the fire pit on the beach were particularly moving. I would highly recommend both the home and the host without hesitation!

Our stay at Shamrock Shores was all that we hoped for. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location, east mid-island, is convenient for access to town, trails and beaches. We had one car and 7 bikes for 9 people and managed to do most everything we wanted. Beaver Island is paradise and we enjoyed the t-shirt and shorts life style for our special week. Kelly and Josh are excellent hosts and very easy to contact.

Great house and a great location!

This was the perfect house for a family vacation with two families. The house is beautiful and clean. Our family enjoyed all the kyaks and beach toys. There was a fire ban on the island so we weren't able to have a fire but we sat out on the sand dune a lot. The view from this property is incredible and we were able to enjoy walks up and down the beach. The game closet is loaded with tons of games for every age. We defintely would love to rent this house again.

Fantastic Island Escape

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay on Beaver Island. The Hosts were outstanding - provided great communication, offered assistance when needed, and were able to accommodate an earlier than expected arrival. This was my first time on Beaver Island. Having grown up in Michigan I was initially surprised to find this island even existed. We stayed shortly before peak season so didn’t have the large crowds. Before booking off-peak understand that most restaurants and activities are either closed or operating with reduced hours. With that said, off peak was perfect for our “work a week remote” getaway. Fast internet worked great for conference calls and TV streaming. The “locals” instantly knew we were not from the island but were so friendly, gave us some great local tips, and always gave a wave when cars passed. It was too windy to use the outdoor fire pit but I can see this being a great feature. The beach was rocky (similar to many in Michigan) so water shoes are recommended. My favorite part of the stay: star gazing. I’ve been to many isolated spots in the world with limited light pollution. This stay provided a similar experience - a view of limitless stars across the entire sky. Absolutely breathtaking. The home itself was extremely comfortable and provided plenty of indoor/outdoor space. It can easily accommodate a large family but I found it the ideal size for a couples getaway. Strongly recommend this listing!

Heaven on earth is the simplest description of this destination spot. Best Family VaCa Ever.

If you're looking for a place to unwind and relax, renew your spirit, and enjoy pure family time on beautiful Lake Michigan, Josh and Kelley have the perfect place for you. They are the perfect hosts. Proactively attentive, pay attention to detail, have excellent communication skills including quick responses to questions. The house is spacious, newly redecorated, open concept, clean, with windows everywhere for a great cross breeze so no need for air conditioning, even in July. Overhead fans in bedrooms never even got used. The online description of this property is modestly accurate-exceeded our expectations. It is about 1/4 mile off the dirt road, and houses are not stacked on top of one another. Only one house to the right is close, but neighbor is friendly, quiet, respectful of privacy, and we rarely even saw him around. We had 7 adults and 2 kids and never felt cramped for space. The house is absoluetly fantastic. Tastefully nautically decorated, comfy couches and chairs, great window seats to lay on and read a book under the fantastic breeze. It is nicely equipped, including some great nice-to-haves. Even the garage was stocked with tools, charcoal BBQ, 4 rigged fishing poles, 4 kayaks. Kitchen, bath, basic pantry needs provided. Pick up firewood down the street, drive 15 mins for a week's groceries, (10 mins to gas station for basics). We brought one car over on the ferry so that we could bring some extras (3 collapsible netted hammocks to sleep out on the beach-not for lack of sleeping space in the house but for love of the night sky, 4 foldable camping and beach chairs to add to the 4 attorndak chairs by the firepit, boche ball, ladder ball, beach umbrella, beach blankets and toys). Our hot dog and marshmallow skewers were used every night. Nothing you absolutely needed, but things we knew that would enhance our outdoor time. Thanks to the washer and dryer there is no need to over pack. Island temperature is great, you can be comfortable in shorts or light sweats. The only negative thing we found about the island are beach flies that sometimes come out in the evening. 3 out ot 9 nights, but long pants and a fire fixed that. Mosquitoes were not a problem. Bring water shoes because there are rocks at the water's edge and beach. Everyone on the island walks around with a smile and I know why. We enjoyed every minute and hope to go back. Don't pass this one up! Best Family vacation ever!

Peace on the Lake

Shamrock Shores is a lovely, well-designed house that feels like real people decorated and furnished it for real living. The views are stunning, the private beach provides hours of rock hunting and water play, and the layout provided plenty of space for 4 adults and 3 kids to be together or all spread out. We could easily have added a third family and still felt comfy. Cooking in the kitchen was great — it was a welcome surprise to find the pantry and fridge stocked with guests’ gifts, as well as so many supplies for playing in the water. Our favorite detail was the window seats — it’s a good thing there are so many so we didn’t have to fight over them!

Tietoa majoittajasta

Majoittaja: Joshua & Kelley Turner

HI! We're Kelley and Josh Turner. We live near Dayton, Ohio. It had been our dream for years to own a vacation home on Lake Michigan. We have five children, all adopted, and we wanted them to enjoy the beauty of the our favorite place as much as we did. We noticed for years that our family always had the best time when we vacationed on Lake Michigan or Lake Huron. The kids couldn't get enough of the beach, the lakes, the family game nights, grilling out, and just unplugging. We began our search and realized it was getting harder to find as more and more people swelled into these areas. Locating rentals was also becoming challenging. We found this gem on Beaver Island. We weren't initially sure about "island life." Once we realized how much clearer the water and sky was, and that it was actually a breeze getting on and off island by 15 minute plane ride, we were sold. The island is wonderful, a hidden paradise. The islanders are warm and friendly, waving to everyone they pass. The nature and beauty of the island is unsurpassed, and carefully guarded by the islanders. They take care of this beautiful place, where recycling is key and wildlife and plant protection is of utmost priority. We love what the islanders call "island time." People take the time to talk to each other and meander, taking in beauty that often escapes people on the mainland. Cead Mile Failte is one island expression, translating into a hundred thousand welcomes!! That sums Beaver Island up perfectly.

Miksi majoittaja valitsi tämän majoituspaikan
