Relaxing on the bay

The apartment was perfect. Everything we needed was there. The view off the deck was wonderful. The location was perfect since we had no car and this apartment is located in the center of town. Very quiet and very relaxing. With the owner just downstairs it was very handy for asking questions about town and things to do. We'll be back.

Overlooking the bay

Captain’s Quarters were perfect for our stay on Beaver Island. Lovely view overlooking the bay, clean apartment with everything we needed. Not sure about the kitchen just because we were only there one night and since we were taking a much needed break we ate out.
