"Easy walk to the town’s museums and shops. Perfect place for 2. Comfortable furnishings."

"The house was perfect !! More than we expected."

"We were just here for one night, but it is a very nice, clean, place to stay. Good location right by town so you can walk to most everything you will go to on the island in 10 minutes. We didn’t have time to use it, but it has a nice screened in porch as well."

"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!"

"We love the property, we love the location, and we appreciate the hospitality of our hosts! Great location close to all the amenities of Beaver Island including the downtown area and natural wonders!"

"This was the perfect spot to have a quiet get-away. It was nice to be on the south end of the island and close to all the natural features of the island. In one word...peaceful."

"We were looking for a nice, peaceful vacation and this was the spot! Close to the harbor, awesome views and the house was well equipped for us to dine in. I would definitely recommend this wonderful spot."

"Overall, great trip. The island is wonderful, the location was good, and we really appreciated it being a dog friendly property. That said, my expectations were higher for cleanliness. Main points: mattresses are stained/need vacuuming and do not have covers. I am very glad we brought blankets. The blankets that are in the house are dirty. There is mess in every drawer/shelf. It is clearly a family vacation home, but it is difficult to get comfortable when there’s no place to put your stuff away. As the pictures show, part of the bathroom is unfinished. That was understood, but the inside of the unfinished bathtub has gotten dirty/moldy and is no longer covered like it is in the picture. The shower needs a very good cleaning, the floor had quite a bit of mildew. There was a persistent smell in the kitchen. Possibly from the disposal or from the cabinet under the sink. We had to find an extension cord in a drawer somewhere to run the disposal (we did not put any food down there). There were cobwebs and spiders in every corner. I suspect that the owners live downstate and rely on someone to clean the place. But it is not being cleaned very well, despite a high rental price and a decent cleaning fee. Other notes: beach is beautiful, but rocky. Chairs by fire pit are broken/uncomfortable, need replacing. Loft sleeping spaces are open to living room and bedroom and accessible by ladders. Kitchen counter/sink needs repair, gap lets water leak into cabinet below."

"The house is always clean and comfortable, with some goofy board games and lots of cozy blankets. We appreciated the quiet place to rest on our work trip to the island."
