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.

Quiet piece of island
The house was old and needs bug bombed. The upstairs bedroom bed was not at all level - it was like sleeping at a decline with your feet higher than your head. Going to pass on this one next year

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.

This house was the perfect location and size for our group. We were able to walk to the events we came to the island for. Loved that there were two full bathrooms and washer and dryer. The view was spectacular.

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.

We had a great time and were very impressed with the owner’s communication. The ferry had last minute issues but Keith texted me even before BIBCO called. They were able to get the house ready 4 hours before we had planned on arriving! The view is the best and we lived the home! Hope to come bsck

Another great stay
This was our second time staying at BI Harbor View Cottage. Beautiful view of the harbor, amazing location in town within walking/biking distance to the grocery store, ferry, shops, beach, historical sites/museums, trails, and more. Nice updates to the house since our last stay. Hosts are very responsive to any questions. It’s a great, cozy, clean place to stay, with amenities provided so we had to bring very little other than clothes and beach towels (and we chose to bring many of our groceries). Appreciate that everything else is provided with the house. Can’t wait to go back!

Enjoyed our stay!
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!
