About this property

Paradise Bay Retreat

Welcome to the amazing Harbor district of Beaver Island, a vibrant location just past the Whiskey Point Brewing Company and McDonough's Market. This charming historical home offers a breathtaking view of the harbor and is encompassed by nature's wonders; stroll through a birding trail right from your doorstep or wander through a 27-acre nature preserve just a short 100 yard walk down the road. You'll have plenty of opportunities to bask in the beauty of the outdoors!
Spend a blissful day relaxing in the hammock, or venture out to explore the nearby museum, lighthouse, toy store, brewery and deli. Feeling adventurous? The downtown area is just a leisurely stroll away, providing an array of restaurants, museums, and shops as well as various community events and concerts. Alternatively, you can visit the main public beach with kayaks, paddleboards, and jet-skis available for rent. If you are planning on bringing your boat, this is the perfect house for you, being just steps away from the northern municipal marina.
Ideal for a large family or multiple families, this home features cozy and comfortable bedrooms to ensure a restful night's sleep. The first bedroom includes a king bed and 2 twins, while the second bedroom offers a queen bed and 2 twins. The main bedroom indulges you with a luxurious queen bed. What’s more, linens are included, ensuring your stay is hassle-free.
Prepare delicious meals in the newly updated, well-equipped kitchen. With a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, oven range, dishwasher, and two full-size refrigerators, you'll have everything you need at your fingertips. For an extra treat, step out onto the bonus deck located right off the dining area. When it's time for a barbecue, you'll find a convenient gas grill ready for all your cookout delights. On cozier days, the snuggly screened-in porch offers the perfect spot to savor your morning coffee while still soaking in the captivating harbor view.
Your convenience is a priority, so we've included a washer and dryer in the amenities, making laundry a breeze. Stay connected and share your incredible experiences with Wi-Fi available throughout the house and large yard.

Book your stay now and get ready for an unforgettable adventure on Beaver Island!

Very comfortable!

We loved our stay. The home, sofas and beds were comfortable. Kitchen well equipped and we loved the round table for eating and playing games. We spent mornings on the deck drinking coffee. In the late afternoon we used the front lawn and picnic table to watch the harbor and have a drink. The location was great, next door to grocery store and brewery. You don’t need a car. We brought our e-bikes which were handy for getting to the new pickleball courts. Took yoga at the Community Center, visited the history museum and the beach at Donnegall Bay. We would rent again.

Awesome escape to Beaver Island!

We loved our trip to Beaver Island! It was our first time to the island. We loved how quiet and calm it was even during peak summer! The location of the house was great- easy to ride bikes to most places with small kids. Tip: if you are visiting for the first time and want your vehicle on the island- make sure to book your vehicle ferry ticket SUPER EARLY! we were late in booking and had to send our car back early which was tricky for packing and traveling around on those days.

Wonderful and very relaxing!

Very comfortable. Wonderful being so close to the grocery store. Nice view of the Bay when cars not parked across the street. Walking distance to the beach and everything else. In the house we think it would have been very helpful to have a high chair for small children. Host was very helpful and attentive, which we also appreciated. Thank you! Hope to come back!

What makes this property unique

A Beaver Island vacation is a fantastic option for families. You won't find any other home that is within walking distance to all the amenities yet provides a quiet hammock where you can gently sway and watch the sailboats go by.
