Great Stay!

This was a great little condo! It had all the amenities and was clean and convenient to get to. Other than the coffee maker being a bit stubborn, overall the stay was great. The water was a short walk away and it was so peaceful and quiet.

Great getaway

Very impressed with the location and the beach was definitely a bonus. Easy access in and out. Room was extremely clean and comfortable. Very close to many attractions. The only downfall was they have a pool/ bar which wasn’t accessible to Vrbo patrons but beach made up for it. Beautiful sunsets.

A beautiful and relaxing place to stay

It was great to arrive and immediately walk through the peaceful grounds to relax on the patio by the beach. Before we even unpacked we could appreciate our surroundings. The room itself was well stocked with dishes, microwave, a toaster, a Keurig, and tools for basic cooking. The bathroom and bedroom area had everything needed including extra towels and bed linens, and extra toilet paper. Hot water was readily available and the size was comfortable. I'm looking forward to booking another stay at this property.

Condo on the beach

Nice quiet condo steps from the beach. Nice that it is not right in the noise and bustle of Traverse City but close enough to get into town for shopping or dining.
