My wife and I and our 4 friends had a very enjoyable time. Very comfortable house and great location. Joshua and Kelley were very responsive and provided us with great information and suggestions on things to do.We biked, hiked and walked many of the island beaches. Evening Fires by the beach and card games on the large kitchen table at night. Overall a great stay and visit to Beaver Island.
The perfect stay for a large family or group of friends. The common area was perfect for relaxing after the beach or reading during the rain. Plenty of space all over the house and awesome access to a private beach. Highly recommend this house!
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.
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.
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 â it was a welcome surprise to find the pantry and fridge stocked with guestsâ gifts, as well as so many supplies for playing in the water. Our favorite detail was the window seats â itâs a good thing there are so many so we didnât have to fight over them!
Wonder home on a private beach in a relatively secluded about 10 minutes outside of town. It is such a wonderful island community to have a 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!
It just as advertised and better! Super clean, more beautiful than the pictures shown. The home was well equipped and had all the comforts of home, want to keep the place a secret so we can go back again! Josh and his wife were super!
Beaver island is a magical place. The Shamrock shores was a beautiful location to relax on the beach and explore the island. Clean, unique character, and plenty of room for 6 of us. The 3 season room was great on a rainy day.
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.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shamrock Shores, it's the perfect place for large groups. The house is beautiful, well-appointed, very comfortable with enough space for everyone to spread out. Great views, private beach, very quiet, and so relaxing. Water shoes are definitely a must. The hosts were very responsive. We all agreed this was the best vacation spot ever. Shamrock Shores and Beaver Island are gems! Thank you Josh and Kelly for sharing with us.
Awesome time Home was clean, beds were comfortable, decor made it a cozy. Host communicated by text a few times to check on us which was appreciated. The beach was priceless. It was private and no one in sight for as far as you could see up and down the beach our entire four day stay. We enjoyed the kayaks provided Beaver island is the place to be and a different experience than the tourisy mackinaw island. Highly recommend this property it will not disappoint. Bring bug spray
I canât 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 didnât 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 âwork a week remoteâ getaway. Fast internet worked great for conference calls and TV streaming. The âlocalsâ 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. Iâve 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!
A beautiful property with amazing views. The owners were more then accommodating with booking so late in the season and communication was above and beyond. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a Beaver Island adventure to rent this place as it is central and on the Eastern side of the island with a stunning beach.
Very relaxing and inspiring stay at Shamrock Shores
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. Itâs 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!
