Hello. Welcome to our beachfront condo. We live in Traverse City, and are excited to welcome you to town.
We love hosting visitors to the Traverse City area. This is an amazing region to explore and we hope you think so too.

Why they chose this property
The Beach condos are in a perfect Traverse City location. You will be located a short 5 miles from the heart of downtown. While town is very accessible, you can have your private space away from the busyness. We are located across the street from the TART trail, a well maintained multiuse path you can walk to bike to town if you choose not to drive. We also are one of the few locations with a traffic light at the entrance, allowing for safe access to the building.
East Bay is a beautiful body of water connected to Lake Michigan. The sandy beach and clear water is perfect for enjoying the lakeshore. There are a multitude of activities and amenities nearby including: boat and jet ski rental, parasailing, putt putt golf, coffee shop, and ziplining. These are only the amenities less than 1 mile away.
In the wintertime, we are located from the local favorite Mt. Holiday. Being located on US 31, you are right on track to access larger renowned resorts too: Boyne Mountain, Nubs Nob, Crystal Mountain and Shanty Creek. There are numerous cross country ski and snow shoeing trails as well. Finish your day with a warm soak in our jetted tub. This is truly a year-round place to stay.

What makes this property unique
We’ve enjoyed adding all of our personal touches to Hemingway East and we hope your experience is unique! By staying with us you are helping us build a future for our family and our retirement. Our plan is to retire in Key West which was home to Ernest Hemingway. This is how we came up with the name for our property and why you will discover Key West and Ernest Hemingway decor at our property. We hope you love this place as much as we do!!
