About this house rental
Located in Beaver Island, this charming house for $130 per night is a great choice for your next break. Take the ferry or plane from Charlevoix to experience island paradise. A vintage vacation awaits you. Beaver Island, 32 miles offshore from the mainland of northern Michigan. Unspoiled. Unhurried. Unbelievable! The island is 55 square miles of gravel roads and rustic beauty. When you come to the island, you are getting away from the conveniences that city life offers and enjoying the benefits and beauty of the natural world. Sunny Oaks Cottage has everything one could want or need to enjoy a vacation on Beaver Island. The lovely home is located on the north end of the island. It is a very short walk to the harbor area, town and restaurants. The public beach is about a 10-minute walk. The chalet style cottage is a beautiful, bright and comfortable two-story home that sleeps 6 people. The sun pours in the front windows in the morning and the breeze flows thru the house all day. You will be so happy that you chose to stay at Sunny Oaks Cottage for your vacation to the island. The main floor has two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is one full bath in the house. The spacious upstairs loft has a queen bed. There is a smart TV to log in and stream your online accounts, we do not have cable. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a dish washer, microwave and laundry room. It is open to the living room and the large front deck so the cook can always be a part of the fun, wherever it is happening. Enjoy the open front porch, screened side porch and large yard. Fire pit and gas grill for use on the property and a bag toss game. I do recommend having a car to explore the island. Contact bibco.com (Beaver Island Boat Company) for ferry schedule and rates. You can bring your car over on the ferry and will need to make a reservation for it. They start taking reservations in January and summer dates fill up quickly as there is limited space for cars. Another option is to rent a car on the island. There are 2 places for car rental. Burton Auto Rentals. Call ahead for a reservation. 231 838-2883 or Duffy's rentals 231 448-3131. Keep in mind these are not rental companies but families who are renting out vehicles. It is very difficult to maintain a clean car on an island of dusty gravel roads. The island is 13 miles long and 6 miles wide. If you are content in walking and relaxing in town, you will still have an enjoyable time. You can rent bikes, kayaks or paddle boards in town by the public beach to enjoy the beautiful clear water. There are online videos and articles about the island history. You may have a richer experience if you spend some time looking at the interesting info that is online. Life slows down here and restores your soul. You can follow my Instagram account @Becca Foli Photos to see pictures of the island year-round. Make Sunny Oaks your home when you visit Beaver Island. We look forward to having you as our guest. Let the adventure begin!

Lovely cottage location a short walk from the boat launch and town. The cottage is a well updated and maintained place with a cozy atmosphere that made me want to stay longer. A short walk to the pub, the deli and grocery store, or into town. People are very friendly and there is lots to explore on the island.

Clean, well-kept home with great amenities on BI in a great location. We enjoyed the front porch with our coffee every morning, grilling out dinner every evening and our nights by the fire pit. This is our 3rd year at one of Bryan & Becca’s properties and the first time at this property in particular. Can’t wait to come back to BI next summer!

We had the best time here. The house was the perfect setup with truly everything we needed. The location was really wonderful being walking distance from most things we did. We enjoyed cornhole at the house and just sitting on the front deck. It was so peaceful, clean and the decor was so pretty. We can’t wait to stay again in the future!

We had great, relaxing stay at this house! It was in walking distance of the town and fit our family of four perfectly. The hosts were very responsive to any messages and the house was very nicely stocked for cooking and fun indoor and outdoor activities.

Six members of our Book Club traveled to Beaver Island to learn more about the history regarding James Jesse Strang who was known as the King of Beaver Island in the 1850’s. He was the subject of the “King of Confidence” one of our book selections this past year. In addition to the convenience of having a place that was within walking distance of the town of St. James, the Toy Museum and the Lighthouse.
The home was comfortable, beautifully decorated, and well stocked. We especially enjoyed our front porch cocktail hour and biking around the island with the bikes provided by the hosts. I would highly recommend Sunny Oaks for families, groups of friends, or history buffs who are interested in getting the most of the Beaver Island experience.

Home is clean and bright with plenty of room to spread out. Very well appointed, with all towels and bedding provided. Nice large and bright bathroom. Great kitchen with plenty of cooking utensils and pans, and nice appliances. Loved the large loft area! Really spacious front deck with plenty of seating. A large family of turkeys frequented the property when we were sitting outside, which was nice to see. Enjoyed the close proximity to town, everything is within walking distance. The owner is very pleasant, and responsive to all inquiries/emails. We very much enjoyed our stay, and would not hesitate to stay here again!

Cute house with all a small family or a group of friends would need. The grocery/brewery/Cafe are easily walkable as is the waterfront. Clean, well appointed break from the craziness of the mainland.
Come here and experience island time!
