The house was ideal for the number in our party. Upon our arrival, we could not access the property because the owner changed the code and the property management company didn’t know or didn’t share that information with us. However, when we told them about the code, they were responsive and apologetically. We loved the ideal location. The kitchen is well equipped but the coffee maker needs to be replaces because it is super slow!! We would definitely recommend this location to friends.

We very much enjoyed our stay at "Be Dazzeled" for one week in August 2025. We too, were dazzeled by both the location on the water, amazing sunrise view, comfortable space with water view and seating everwhere, and the amzing location that is close to the many attractions and actvities for our family 6: two grandchildren (13 and 11), their 2 paents, and the 2 of us-the grandparents. One suugestion: You should clearly state in the listing that 2 of the 4 bedrooms are in fact in the [walkout] basement.

Other 3 bedrooms are pretty quiet. The bay is beautiful in the backyard and at the time of our stay, there was a sandy beach. We would stay here again!

Beautiful view but deferred maintenance issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful location and nice home however, there were multiple items that arose on our stay. First, the home wasn’t available at check in time- 4 on. The cleaning crew didn’t finish until almost 5 pm. Next (big one), the master bedroom bed broke, which has clearly happened before because the bedframe was cracked and had a bracket to repair it in the past. We had to move the mattress onto the floor to sleep the first night. property management team was definitely great and responded to our issues quickly. Additionally, there was a multiple lights that needed to be replaced. The last example was the leaves were never cleaned up from last fall and there’s still a big pile in the lower part of the yard. With all that, the views are stunning.

Bachelorette wine tasting weekend

We did a weekend for my daughter’s Bachelorette party. Friday night we stayed in and enjoyed the fire pit and the lovely house. When someone was tired they could easily go to bed and not be disturbed. It was perfect for our group! We want to come back!

It's a great location, close to TC and Sutton's bay. Shopping and wineries are just a short drive, but if you just want to chill and watch the water, this is the place too! I would recommend to anyone.

Nice Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental itself is nice, but could use some updates based on the price of the property. It was clean. The rental company (Lindsay and Jason) were very responsive. Even got a phone call Saturday evening when we couldn't figure out how to get the TV working! Were willing to have someone come on Sunday to assist us (which we didn't need after all).

Stay here again

We were ia group of eight friends stayed at the house. We love the home and I’ll definitely stay here again. But don’t be afraid to bring some of your own personal items like hand towels and there is no pot holders which really surprised me for safety reason. Yes I burnt my finger. But we couldn’t ask for a better location in the house had great views

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is situated on the water with a beautiful view of the bay.

We did some cross country skiing and snow tubing all within about 10-15 minutes from the home. What a nice winter getaway!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I would say Be Dazzled is by far the best house our group has rented. Our group has been renting houses in the up north area for 33yrs. This house has character and felt inviting. Sorry for the unfortunate bathroom incident we all are getting somewhat older. May I recommend bathroom wall bars?

Perfect area too- close to Traverse city downtown, Suttons Bay, Fishtown Leland and the sleeping bear dunes! Memories we will never forget were made here.

Attention to details

As I read in a previous review… there needs to be some attention to the items inside and outside of the house. Several pillows are torn or appear dirty. Outside there is a lounger that is torn up . Dishwasher and ice/water in fridge door was not working and a couple of light bulbs needed to be replaced. Management Company was great to work with and quickly contacted up letting us know my husband had left his wedding ring there.

Mixed Bag

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this house for a family gathering. Of the 4 bedrooms, 2 were huge, and 2 were tiny. Not a great setup for 8 adults.The rest of the house was quite nice, with several seating areas inside and out. The firepit on the patio is a nice feature, but the motion sensor floodlight absolutely killed the night-time atmosphere and made star watching virtually impossible. Several lights in the house had burnt out bulbs, which caused some issues.Road noise is almost constant, as the house is right on highway M22. Aside from road issues, the location is convenient to Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula. On the positive side, the house has a great view of the bay, and sunrises were wonderful. No dock, but the lake level was down a bit, so we actually had a small sand beach.
