Spontaneous Weekend Getaway

Our stay was above and beyond our expectations. We would definitely recommend this for a fun and different from the norm getaway. The host Patrick was kind enough to stop by after we checked in and gave us recommendations on what was going on that weekend which was spot on and fun to do.

New experience

Never stayed in a boat before, it was different but good. Patrick was great with communication, only thing I would ask/change is for people from out of town to let them know the Boat Shop is on first floor of the Brew Pub

Would do it again

Never thought about staying on a boat…. Then, it was a good idea. Not an ordinary hotel, so it took a moment to get my bearings, but all of my questions had intuitive answers. Yes, I would do it again

Great experience

The communication with the owner was superb. The amenities were awesome! A cool unique experience near awesome lakefront. Peaceful marina with a restaurant that has great food and a warm pool. Would recommend older kids though if you want to have a relaxing time haha.

Fun weekend getaway

Had a lovely time exploring Racine, and enjoying the accomodations on the Irish Mist V. The entire marina community was very welcoming, and you can't beat ending the day with a dip in the pool and hot tub.

Great way to celebrate my 60th

A stellar night and morning at Racine’s Reefpoint Marina aboard Irish Mist V was an excellent time! The boat has an awesome deck for 4, and pleasant sleeping accommodations. Close to parking and bathrooms. We took advantage of the marina pool and bathrooms and watched the full moon and fiery sun arise over Lake Michigan. Our trio of mature women hunkered in at about 11pm and enjoyed a movie to carry us into the next day. Patrick was wonderful and responsive. Take advantage of a unique VRBO experience in the beautiful city of Racine WI!

Girls’ Getaway

An incredibly relaxing stay on the Irish Mist. Equipped with everything we needed including A/C on a very hot and humid night. However there was always a breeze off the lake! Clean and comfy. Folks at the marina - staff and guests were very friendly. The boat was very stable during the storm with high winds and torrential rain. We hope to visit again!

Great location! The Irish Mist V is ideal for an adult couple, a little too cozy for two adult couples, in my opinion. Host was responsive and helpful, very patient with my inexperience with VRBO. I’d definitely recommend this property and I would use it again myself.

Time on the boat

We loved sitting on the deck in the evening. On night it rained and the boat rocked just enough to put us to sleep.

A Great Experience

Our time on the Irish Mist V was really fun and unique. The Reefpoint Marina is in the perfect location to enjoy Lake Michigan. The bathroom/shower facilities are spotless and there was live entertainment within walking distance from the boat, as well as a great restaurant. We would definitely recommend this rental if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary.

Best Romantic Getaway!

Patrick, the owner, was so informative about things to do in the area and met us at the boat to show us around the marina and how things work in the boat! It really made us feel more comfortable and it allowed us to settle in more quickly! The marina has so many things to do and it was such a unique stay for a romantic getaway!

So much fun!

We were only able to stay one night because we were just passing through town but we had a great time on the boat and lots of laughs. The kids had so much fun on the boat. Ate at the restaurant at the marina and walked the docks at night looking at boats. Host was great. So much fun.

Fun and Different

We chose the Irish Mist for our holiday staycation. We are so glad we did. Patrick helped overcome some reservation difficulties, and was a prompt and helpful communicator throughout. The marina location is ideal, and we were able to walk to local venues and enjoy the town. Being on a boat was a nice change up from a hotel, and we would definitely do it again. Highly recommend the host, location and process.

GREAT LAKES FISHING CHARTERS: Would you like to experience Salmon Fishing? Ask us about booking a fishing trip during your stay. Charter boats are available just steps away from the boat!

Why they chose this property

The space
The boat must remain in the marina. Boat is for Lodging only and can not be moved from the slip.

Sunbathe on the deck, watch tv in the cabin, swim in the pool or at North Beach, kayak down the river and much more. This is marina life!

You will have access to all marina amenities, including an outdoor patio and grilling area, bar, Laundry, Showers, bathrooms, and restaurant. Most importantly it is very close to downtown restaurants and outdoor bars.

The marina includes access to hot showers and clean restrooms. Accessible 24/7 and just a very short walk from the boat.

There is a stove, microwave, fridge, coffee maker aboard, and toaster oven. There is a restaurant at the marina and many more delicious places to eat within walking distance.

There are 3 sinks with hot/cold water and two flushing toilets on the boat. The marina has 3 very nice, clean shower facilities, two of which are less than 100 yards from the slip.

This is a stay-aboard boat and guests will not be allowed to take the boat out of the slip.

There are two sleeping areas in the bow stateroom, that can be converted to a double, 2 beds in the aft stateroom (1 can be converted to a double), and a sofa in the salon. 6 would be crowded, however, 4 is ideal.

Keep in mind that staying aboard a boat will not be the same as staying in a hotel or a home. Boats move when you walk, they have tripping hazards, the headspace is less, and stepping on and off can be challenging; so please set your expectations properly. We have gone to great lengths to make the space cozy and easy to get around in, however, we encourage guests to look through the pictures and consider any personal mobility limitations that might make this a challenging stay.

Please bring a rain jacket if inclement weather is expected.
