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:

● Chateau Chantal
● Brys Estate Vineyard & Winery
● Bonobo Winery
● Mari Vineyards
● Bowers Harbor

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
