About this property

Spectacular sunset views overlooking the east bay! WINTER SPECIALS!!

Make yourself at home and relax at this completely renovated and newly furnished studio condo located at Grand Traverse Resort’s beach club “The Shores." New Westin Heavenly bed purchased in 2022. All new 100% bamboo sheets and new towels. Toiletries, cleaning supplies and laundry detergent and softener are cruelty free and as environmentally friendly as possible. Close to everything the area has to offer including beaches, skiing, bike trails, hiking, fishing - anytime of year! Close to wineries, breweries, scenic drives anytime of the year, restaurants, casino and shopping. During the winter months, we’re less than 10 miles from two Traverse City ski trails and only 40 minutes from Shanty Creek Resorts. All of this yet once you arrive you feel far away from the hustle and bustle and have peace and tranquillity. This condo is waterfront as it’s located in the building closest to the water and is also considered beachfront! Being on the third floor it offers extra privacy as you’re far enough away from the beach goers and people walking past not to mention the amazing sunset views!

Located on East Grand Traverse Bay, just minutes from downtown Traverse City, this suite is a water and beach lover’s dream. Jet ski, paddle board and boat rentals are on site and available to rent through Blue Sky Rentals.

Three world-class championship golf courses are less than ½ mile away at the Grand Traverse Resort.

40 miles away from Sleeping Bear Dunes, named by Good Morning America as "The Most Beautiful Place in America" in 2011.

The efficiency apartment was well stocked with all we needed. The bed was comfortable, the shower was lovely and the balcony was perfect for snacks at sunset. The check in was simple and the host was available had we needed her.We were there 9/7-9/11 so it was very quiet. I am sure children enjoy the shallow water and beach in the summer.

Perfect!

Beautiful and cozy place that is very clean and neat, and well-equipped with good quality accessories. The photos are very accurate. The location is perfect with gorgeous views of the bay and evening sunsets. Dawn is a fabulous host; very thoughtful and gave helpful suggestions for places to go and things to see and do. Her communication was excellent. I would definitely return (and hope to some day) and have been recommending her lovely space to my friends.

Beautiful quiet location

This is an amazing location in regards to Traverse City and all things that are north of there. Downtown is a short drive and the crazy traffic is slightly out of the way. An Acme township park is directly connected to the property for wonderful walks. The host responds fast and with helpful information. I am looking forward to returning!

About the host

Hosted by Dawn VanVolkinburg

Host profile image
Both my husband and I grew up near Grand Rapids, MI where we currently live. If we could we would live in Traverse City now but my husband works at a hospital in Grand Rapids and enjoys what he does so we just visit the area as often as we can!

Why they chose this property

We bought this suite along with the one next door because we have a condo in the same complex and just one floor down from these. We love the location and the view so much we decided to buy another! We both love northern Michigan especially the Traverse City area and have been coming here for years. We plan to retire in the area. In the meantime, we enjoy down time at our beautiful condo on the East Bay. When we can't be at the condo we like to have others enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the area because how beautiful the area is. Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Torch Lake, Mission Point and so many other beautiful things to see and enjoy! What kept us coming back is amidst all the beauty are wonderful welcoming people.
