Great beach house

The house and the view are both beautiful, we will definitely stay again. Very family friendly for all ages, we had young children and they loved the beach and the deck was great for hanging out.

Beach house with everything you need

Great house with a beautiful beach and water views from almost every room. It is on a busy road but you do not see or hear the traffic from the beach side of the house. The owner was very responsive. Our family and dog had a great time!

This place was located in a perfect spot of the East Bay. Easy access to many places in Traverse City and further. Master was very spacious and the place was a perfect size for our family. Renovated patio out back which gave plenty of space to entertain and enjoy the beach. We will definitely book again if available when we plan another trip.

Loved The Home!

We loved staying here, our kids especially loved playing out on the beach. The home is very nice and sufficiently furnished. The best part is the back patio with the beach access and beautiful views. We loved sitting outside at night relaxing and listening to the waves come up on the shore. We would definitely recommend this home to you.

Beautiful beach frontage

Great water frontage, just to let others know, that there is not a restroom out side of going into a bedroom, and the shower in the second bedroom is very small. Also a lot of road noise being almost on the us 31.

Beautiful Home and Best Beach Area in TC

We recently stayed at this lovely home - the experience was above what we imagined. The owner and his daughter in law were beyond kind and helpful. It was a vacation place that my family and I will enjoy every year. The sunrise is amazing and the beach is very well maintained and is so relaxing to just sit and relax on. The owners have made all the cozy and comfortable measures to insure we had a wonderful stay. The house was immaculate and very well maintained when we arrived and we knew our experience would be nothing short of wonderful. Thank you for such an amazing vacation place,.......

Perfect Private Getaway

What a wonderful place to spend our vacation! This beautiful house was clean, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The owners were very responsive, but I really didn't need a thing. The beach was private, and the water was pristine (as usual for East Bay). The backyard deck provided a relaxing area to enjoy the view with my family. The location couldn't have been better, with a grocery store very close by, and downtown just a short drive away. Thank you for sharing your home with us...we will hopefully be returning next year!!

Summer Getaway

In the pictures the property looked dark, but any concerns I had were gone when we walked in the property. It was well maintained inside and the outside was great! The deck sells the property, right on the water with a covered area over the gas firepit. We were able to sit outside even when we had sprinkles. I was concerned with the road in the front of the house and we definitely did hear road noise. That was the only thing that took away from the property. We kayaked right off the beach and were able to walk along the beach in both directions for quite a ways. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and tools. We were short on cooking/olive oil. Communication was good with the property manager and the owners were very nice when they came over to help with the Wi-Fi, but we fixed it before they got there. Know that it may be difficult to use the Wi-Fi outside but it was no problem in the house. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Most beautiful setting in all of Traverse City

We were so pleased at our stay in this home last week! Everything was clean and open and lovely as soon as we walked in. The beach was perfect. The house is roomy. We have absolutely no complaints and will definitely be staying here in the future. The beach is sandy all the way out and the swimming was excellent. I would have to say the deck was our favorite part and where we spent the majority of our time. The 2 person jacuzzi tub was a delightful surprise and the master suite is so spacious. The only heads up I would give is if you are a person who doesn't read descriptions well and more looks at pictures (like I am) you will want to know that the hot tub was empty and not usable when we arrived and also the photo of the beach shows 3 kayaks but there is 1 on site. No complaints - just a tip. It is located on a busy street (which doesn't bother us city dwellers) but rest assured as the residence has a nice turn around driveway that gives you plenty of space to get in and out without any issues. We may have finally found our repeat vacation getaway!

Front row seat to the best show in town!

The best thing about this wonderful house is the back: right on one of the best lake beaches in the country, with a fantastic expansive deck, furnished with comfy chairs and tables for relaxing, dining, whatever, plus a great gas grill. Oh, and a fire pit for making authentic smores. Paddle boat and kayaks to explore the shoreline during the day. We never used any of the 3 flat screen TV’s, instead sat out and watched the show in the heavens as the sun set every night, still some light until nearly 11pm in mid-July. The house is indeed a home, in excellent condition. Every amenity of good quality in kitchen and baths, decor delightfully fun and charming, comfortable seating/reclining in two living areas, and plenty of room for four adults to cook and relax in comfort. There is pretty much every pot, pan, utensil, and cooking vessel you could need, and yes, of course, a blender. Even the front grounds are welcoming, flowers in bloom and well tended by humans and automatic sprinklers. Full size top-of-the-line clothes washer and dryer, so you can pack minimally. All linens supplied and of good quality. The owner and his daughter-in-law were wonderful to deal with, and totally responsive to our questions/needs. Only 2 things to be aware of here: Firstly, the house is on a main road, so there is traffic noise when you're in the bedrooms. Not enough to interfere with our sleep (however, we do live in New York City) but may be an issue for others. Secondly, the master bedroom is quite spectacular, however it is one large sleeping and bathroom space, with a huge Jacuzzi bath, but no walls separating the two areas. The second bedroom is considerably smaller, so if you are two couples sharing you'll need to deal with this issue. We strongly recommend this house, and Traverse City in general. So much to do for everyone, whether you're into the outdoors or shopping or dining or movies or .... minor league baseball! We took in a Traverse City Beach Bums game. Great fun, great ballpark food, for $10 a ticket. So, by all means rent this home, just not the week we decide we want to come back!

A wonderful trip!

We booked this property because of the absolutely stunning beachfront view on the water, but we were floored by how beautiful the house was as well. The beds were comfortable and the house was so relaxing to stay in. The kitchen is was so nice to have, especially with all the pots, pans, and cookware provided. The grill needed to be deep cleaned a bit, but once it was, we were able to get it going and it worked perfectly. There was definitely some road noise, but we’re from a major city, so this was nothing new or bothersome to us (and something that earplugs could very easily fix). I’ve seen some people also complain about the drive way being difficult due to being on a major interstate street, but honestly we had no issues. The driveway had room for two large cars in front of the garage, and there’s plenty of space in front to make a three point turn in the drive and get out easily. The only thing I can think for that would have made the trip even better would have been a channel guide for the Cable TV. Since Traverse City basically shuts down around 9pm, there’s a lot of lounging time for us night owls, and it took a while to figure out which channels we were able to access and which we were not (the guide does not say). A channel guide would have been wonderful to have ahead of time to see what was included in the package, as there are roughly 1000 channels and you have to click every one to see if you get it. Other than that, we absolutely adored the property and wouldn’t hesitate to book our annual trips there going forward!

Wonderful stay

This was a great property, and very comfortable. The beach out the backdoor and the large patio were perfect, and we spent much of our time there. Just a note, the paddle boat and one of the kayaks in the pictures are no longer there...nor is the dock. Not a big deal but something to be aware of. Plan on staying again!
