About this property
East Bay Bliss - Beachfront Condo on East Grand Traverse Bay
Welcome to your private escape on the shores of East Grand Traverse Bay, where Northern Michigan reveals its most captivating colors.
Just outside Traverse City, this beachfront condo places you directly on one of the most coveted stretches of sugar-sand shoreline in the region, with water so clear and turquoise it rivals the Caribbean.
Step outside and you are instantly immersed in what makes this area extraordinary. A wide, deep private beach, reserved exclusively for guests offers room to spread out, unwind, and take in long, quiet mornings along the water. Spend your afternoons between the heated pool and hot tub, or simply settle into the rhythm of the bay as sailboats drift across the horizon.
Inside, the space is clean, modern, and intentionally relaxed. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz surfaces, and a functional island designed for gathering. The living area is comfortable and open, with a queen sleeper and large screen TV, while the bedroom offers a king bed and a second TV for quiet evenings after full days outdoors. The bathroom is spacious and thoughtfully finished with a walk-in shower and elevated fixtures.
But what truly sets this location apart is what surrounds you. You are minutes from the world-class Traverse City Horse Shows, making this an ideal retreat for riders, trainers, and families seeking a calm, waterfront reset after long days at the showgrounds.
Equally compelling is your access to the iconic Old Mission Peninsula, a 17-mile stretch of rolling vineyards framed by water on both sides. Within a short drive, you can experience renowned wineries such as:
This region is nationally recognized for its cool-climate wines, including Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, all shaped by the unique geography and lake influence.
Evenings here are something else entirely. Golden light settles over the bay, the air cools, and the pace slows in a way that feels rare and restorative.
Why guests choose this property:
● Direct access to one of the best private sandy beaches on East Bay ● Heated pool and hot tub for extended season enjoyment ● Close proximity to the Traverse City Horse Shows ● Minutes to Old Mission Peninsula wineries and scenic drives ● Easy access to downtown dining, shopping, and public beaches ● Easy drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore for incredible hikes and views
Guests have full access to the condo. Washer and dryer included for convenience that will come in handy after swimming on the tantalizing, sandy beaches all day and you want to wash your bathing suits.
Warmly,
Patty & Jim Aprea

Great property, awesome location, fully equipped with everything we needed. Walk right out to the beach & the bed was so comfy! We’ll be booking again for our anniversary trip next year!

Hi Christina! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay! You both are welcome back anytime!

We had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect - beautiful, convenient, and I felt very safe. The unit was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained, with gorgeous waterfront views that made our visit extra special. We truly enjoyed our first time in Traverse City and would happily stay here again.
This condo is immaculate with absolutely stunning views. Communication with the owners is timely and check-in could not be smoother. Wish we could have stayed longer than 4 days!!!
We're already planning a return trip! EVERYTHING about our stay was absolutely perfect! The space, the hosts, the communication, the choice of nearby restaurants, the walkout to the beach, and the view!! I am not a beach person and yet, I could absolutely see myself living in this unit - oh boy what a life!!
The condo is beautiful and a great location, right on the water! Patty and Jim were incredibly responsive during the booking and through our stay. We would stay here again. One thing to note is there is no oven. It did not affect our stay but for anyone intending to eat meals in, there is a stove top and microwave only.
This condo was perfect for our stay! You walk right out your door to the beautiful beach. The condo was very clean and communication with Patty and Jim was great. They had the most comfortable bed. There are some restaurants within walking distance and downtown Traverse City is just a short drive. We would definitely stay here again if we're in the area. Thanks again, Sheila

This condo is in a great location and is close to so many things to do. We were just steps away from the beach and it’s very quiet and relaxing. The check-in and check-out process is a breeze.

Hi Jeff,

Patty and Jim Aprea
We had a very enjoyable stay at this condo. Jim and Patty were wonderful to work with, and always got back to us in a timely manner with any questions we had. Hoping to visit again, soon!
We really loved our stay. The condo is clean an nicely furnished. Great views an we loved just walking out the back door to the beach. We will see about renting again next summer.
Nice stay with direct access to beach. Ample parking and quick drive to downtown. The condo itself was comfortable and the cleanest property I’ve stayed in on vacation. One note for light sleepers, bring ear plugs, as you may hear guests walking above.
The condo is just as pictured and clean. The owner was very easy & pleasant to deal with. We love the location. We already have reservations for next year.
