☀ Beautiful Lake View Studio Condo @ The Shores ➠ 5606

Occupancy # 3 Guests (Adults & kids)

** We have lots of other properties in the area - check the link to see our inventory! https://thetruenorthproperty.com/ **

Enjoy breathtaking sunsets on the 600ft sandy beach of East Grand Traverse Bay with a natural wooded setting. This gorgeous studio condo at The Shores was newly renovated and upgraded throughout in October 2019. Super-comfy with high thread-count linens and a modern atmosphere - it is the perfect nest and springboard for your Up North fun and adventures. Lovely cedar deck to enjoy the water view. Flat-screen TV (cable included) and Wi-Fi. Full bath with vanity area. Kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, stovetop-coffee maker, and electric kettle. Overlooking Grand Traverse Bay. Our ground-floor condo is located on East Grand Traverse Bay at the intersection of US31 and M72.

Pool access: This is a wonderful location regardless, however frustrating for all involved; this past year, the Resort that owns the pool put some strict policies in place only allowing guests that book directly through them or use it - even we as owners can't use it. That said, the beach is gorgeous, but they also host weddings there sometimes - however, you can walk along the beach to the left, and it extends to a public beach, which is lovely too, and you'll always have access there.

*Please note that some outdoor amenities are not available year-round due to Michigan weather.

There is one little semi-workaround if you really want a pool; you can book a spa treatment at the Grand Traverse Resort, and you'll receive access to the pool and facilities for the rest of the day. Just request the code to access the pool/locker rooms, and you'll be able to use their indoor pool, indoor/outdoor hot tubs, tennis courts, etc.

You also already have access to their shops, restaurants, and golf. 😌

Love The Shores

We always enjoy coming to the Traverse City area, and specifically, staying at The Shores. The condo was clean and conveniently located. It was pretty small, even for two people, but the bed was comfortable and we enjoyed our visit.

View of the Bay

We stayed here for a family reunion in the area. The location was terrific for our needs. Unfortunately, the deck area by the beach was closed for the season, but we still had the opportunity for a short nature walk along the bay. The bed was comfortable and the washer/dryer a plus.

Too much furniture, unstable futon

Remove 2nd TV, ?coffee? Table, standing closet. Move and stabilize Futon to opposite wall. Table and chairs too large for small room. Try a dropleaf table where Futon is now.

Nice efficiency condo

Nice property, beautiful view, clean and well stocked. This property was listed as wheelchair accessible, but it is not. Even though it's on the first floor, there are several steps to navigate. The unit itself is also too small for a wheelchair. If you don't need this accessibility, this is a great stay.

Downside

The location is good to the GLEF horse show grounds. The fact that the pool is closed, beach chairs are old and worn was a surprise. Also closed last year but I assumed because of COVID. But it should be part of the description as that was one reason I liked the location. Also could not get any housekeeping service. Had to beg for fresh sheets and towels. There’s a washer/dryer but I’m not interested in housework when I’m renting a rather expensive place.
