Beaver Island revisited
We hadn’t been to Beaver Island in over 30 years. We came because we always loved it here and we still do. Our stay here was perfect- we loved bicycling & new E-Bikes! Dan was super friendly in Boat Shop and his wife as well!

Perfect and wonderful!
Loved our stay, lots of space, comfortable, had everything we needed in this apartment style home. The view was great from the deck and even looking out the sliding glass door toward the water. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was great. Appreciated the fans supplied to circulate air and keep us cool for sleeping. The property and neighborhood was quiet and right. Next door to a market. Easy to walk around and explore, grab a bite to eat, do a little shopping. My favorite part was when asked what we needed to do before departure, Carol said" you're on vacation, not us" and we didn't need to do anything!

It was our first time to Beaver Island. We loved every minute of it! Our stay was awesome. Room was just as described and a great location. Clean, roomy, easy checkin/out. Rented a car and it was well worth it. We hiked trails that were so quiet and beautiful! Highly recommend St. James place when staying on the island!

Dog waste
Theey rent to people with dogs and no garbage can to put dog waste in. We were told yo dispose of it in are kitchen garbage. Which we were not going to do so everyday sometimes twice a day we had to go to the beach garbage cans and dispose of the waste there. Also only one sharp knives and toaster didn’t work and this wasva full kitchen. And one bedroom didn't have a screen. The beds were very comfortable but the pillows were flat and old. Bath towels were very thin .

Great location and accommodations
The view of the water from our deck was wonderful and peaceful. Low key host. We had all the amenities we needed. The island is beautiful. Found several isolated beaches, walking trails and birding trails. I love the history of the island. People are friendly. Take a car on the ferry with you if you can. You’ll have a lot more access to the island.
