About this property
Lake Michigan/Beaver Island with incredible private beach
- Want to get away from it all? Come unplug on Beaver Island with beautiful four bedroom, three bath home right on Lake Michigan....beach literally in back yard!! Sweeping views with amazing window seats flanking entire upstairs living room. Beautiful natural landscaping, stunning sunrises! Incredible screened porch and decks. See why Beaver Island is called the Emerald Isle and a "hidden gem."
Stunning 100 ft of beach, sandy bottom on 1.5 acre wooded lot. Stunning views from living room, bedrooms, and decks. Great view of lake from downstairs living room also! Private setting. Perfect 70 to 80 degree weather with amazing clear blue water. Water clarity is magnificent compared to landlocked homes. Very low light pollution makes this an unforgettable vacation where you can actually see the Northern Lights when conditions are right! Enjoy hiking, fishing, scuba diving, boat rentals, restaurants. There are even two sunken treasures off the island to explore. Unique Irish private island flavor with very friendly community.
Taxis, car rentals, hospital, grocery all on island. No reason to leave, but also quick flight to Mackinac Island. Mackinac is about an hour drive from Charlevoix. The ferry is 2.5 hour ride. We recommend the plane, which leaves from Charlevoix and is only around $65 per person for fifteen minute flights. Stunning views from plane!! Planes come and go from island multiple times per day. Easily accessible by ferry or quick plane ride for very low rates.
We have kayaks in garage for use, as well as several bikes. Firepit and charcoal grill also on site, along with pack-n-play for little ones. Accommodates 8-10 adults with current bedding and one small child in pack and play.
NO smokers, no firearms, no pets, no fireworks, no guests not included in rental agreement. WIFI has worked great. Feel free to ask any questions. We respond very quickly to inquiries and concerns.

Great home on a private beach
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.

Fourth of July success
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.

Wonderful 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!

Peace on the Lake
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 — it was a welcome surprise to find the pantry and fridge stocked with guests’ gifts, as well as so many supplies for playing in the water. Our favorite detail was the window seats — it’s a good thing there are so many so we didn’t have to fight over them!

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.

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. It’s 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!
