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.

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

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

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.

Perfect getaway for my granddaughters and I! Irish Mist V was more than we’d expectedk!! More room, a great Marina location, cool overnight breezes and solitude. The pool/hot tubs were a bonus.
Definitely a 5-star getaway for us!

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!

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.
