This is a comfortable home with a nice layout and beautiful view of Paradise Bay. We enjoy being in town to ride our bicycles on pavement. We enjoy the museums, library and any businesses that are open to browse through. The rustic, rural environment is inviting to us.Keith and Sheri were great at reaching out to make sure all accommodations were satisfactory.

Great location near the ferry and historic district

Rented this property for a senior adult sibling getaway. Beautiful view of the harbor and walking distance from restaurants, cafes, and even a brewery as well as historic places to visit. Enough sleeping space for 5 adults with a kitchen well stocked for cooking and serving meals.

Fantastic Location, Wonderful Hosts - One of the best spots on the Island

The property is in an ideal spot on the island with close walkability to town and the north end light house. The house is very clean and is exceptionally well appointed. It has everything you need for a wonderful stay and everything is easy to find. The hosts are quick to respond and dedicated to making sure your stay is the very best. It is one of the best VRBO properties I have ever stayed in.

Family Fun on Beaver Island

My family had a wonderful time staying in this beach cabin on Beaver Island! Lots of places to sit and gather for meals and games and comfortable beds/bedrooms. Close to town to walk for groceries or food. We've never been to Beaver Island before, but we plan to be back- and we would stay here again!

We love the location of Keith & Sheri's house. It's nice to be able to walk into town, the lighthouse or just sit on the porch watching the ferry come & go. The location also offers a beautiful sunset view on the water and an easy drive to Donegal Bay for the sunset. We appreciate that the house was clean and the bed comfortable, and that the the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated. Keith, thank you for your responsiveness and we look forward to staying again on future visits!

Excellent Home Base to enjoy Beaver Island

This cottage is a solid home base if you’re exploring Beaver Island for the first time, or any time. Spacious, nice view of the bay, walking distance to the Whiskey Point Brewery, the market for groceries, and the small marine museum is almost directly across the street. It’s a 2-minute drive from the rest of the shops and dining Beaver has to offer. Aside from our mattress being pretty far gone, the cottage is comfortable and has everything you’ll need to stay for a few days or longer. Highly recommend!

On BI, 2024

This property is very well maintained and the up-graded first floor (super kitchen) is very comfortable. We enjoyed walking to the village shops and front porch and back deck were utilized with comfort. A view of the harbor and the traffic on the bay was interesting. Only drawback was lack of access to the shoreline. Our regular stays at The Rest of our Lives had a beach.
