We had a great stay in the condo. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy, including the sofa bed. The location was perfect for us and it was quiet. We loved being close to the bay. Highly recommend.

You get EXACTLY what is listed

This place was exactly as listed, down to the number of towels and pillows provided and the check in time. The check in process was a little frustrating. We had asked for an early check in and were told that we would most likely be able to check in by 1pm. We did not get the text that it was ready until 3pm. I wish he would have told us that they would be unable to provide an early check in rather than trying to make it appear that they are accommodating. The space itself is very nice. It feels like a hotel. The beach access is nice and the community is more residential than touristy. There really was nothing wrong with it, they just won’t be able to accommodate any kind of change or addition.

Perfect little get away!

Cute little place, very clean, and a nice bathroom (always my pet peeve, this one is GOOD!) No cons, only some minor inconveniences: - Pool was closed, not sure if because of Covid or what -Beach area patio is for members of the hotel. Chairs in sand are first come, first serve. May want to take a chair to be safe you get one! And people nab them quick! -Bed is super uncomfortable. All in all - great place. Cute, quaint, clean, and close to everything. I definitely plan to book again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The listing says that it sleeps 6 but there is only 1 queen bed and a full size couch pullout. Luckily we only had four (one being a toddler) and we fit comfortably.

We spent 4 nights in this nice condo! It was very clean and very comfortable. TV’s worked great...

Towels were nice....we are use to a king size bed so the bed was small but comfortable. The only thing I would recommend is getting better coffee “mugs”. We would definitely come back and stay there! Thanks

This is not a "beachfront property" as advertised, it has a wooded view with a small narrow deck. The sunset picture and picture of the pool are not taken from the unit itself. You need to walk to the beach to see the pool and sunset which is close by but not visible from unit. Some of the buildings are beachfront but this building is NOT beachfront. This was disappointing as was one of main reasons I booked it and paid more than I would have for a standard hotel. The unit was very clean though and comfortable, but small. The shower really could use one of those curved shower curtains to allow more elbow room as it is quite tight in there. Also a toaster and oven would have been nice! We could not find a toaster.

It would be very tight quarters for four adults, this is a 2 person property. There was no duvet cover on the bed just a comforter, I wonder how often it is changed? I wouldn't rent this again.

This was a great place to relax and unwind. We were able to enjoy 2 gorgeous sunsets and a beautiful sunrise on the East Bay. The only downside was that the bed was very hard :(

Perfect vacation spot!

We so loved our time in this condo! It was perfect for our little family of three. It was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed for the week. The balcony was lovely to sit among all the trees and nature. The beach was perfect for swimming and sunbathing. The location could NOT have been better. Perfect! Thank you for a lovely week in Traverse City!

Quiet location beach short walk away

at first gave us the wrong room number we walked in to a occupied room - did respond quickly with another room - construction all week under the balcony repairing the railings so at 8;30 the buzz saws where going - place was decently clean - bath tub very small they had no where for you to put your bottles (shampoo, conditioner, body wash and others) while in shower - Very scarce with pans and dishes, under sink was dish soap, dish washer soap and a very gross looking sponge that should have been thrown out months ago - made me wonder if they still used it - I would suggest maybe putting a holder on wall in shower to hold the bottles and leave more than one dish towel There inventory list that was pegged to the cupboard door was not accurate, I sent the manager a text regarding that because we didn't want to be blamed for missing items he assured me that "his crew had a list on them" hopefully all ended well

Great stay!

Clean and comfortable. Definitely on our short list for our next visit to Traverse City. Worth noting that our place was on the 3rd floor. Some people might have a concern over this when there is freshly fallen snow on the stairs. Once the snow stopped, management cleared the snow adequately.

Fantastic location! Quality amenities, great price!

My boyfriend and I rented this condo for a long weekend away, and were very pleased with our choice. The location was great in that it was close enough to both peninsulas and Traverse City to be quite convenient but still outside the main “tourist areas.” The condo was comfortable and a great size for the two of us. The only negative was the bed, which was quite firm, but it was still a great rental and a wonderful weekend. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Barry

My Wife and I owned a studio condo in The Shores Resort. When we were not spending time in it we would rent it. We had such a positive experience, we bought another larger Condo in The Shores Resort. This one is a one bedroom. Both are top floor Condos in fantastic condition.
We live in Traverse City with our two children that are in Middle School. We have lived in Northern Michigan for over 20 years. We fell in love with the absolute beauty of Northern Michigan and decided this is the place to settle and raise a family. My wife and I also own a hospitality business in Northern Michigan.

Why they chose this property

There is always a reason to visit Northern Michigan. We enjoy the Condos but also enjoy renting them to others to enjoy Northern Michigan. Our Condos are located in a perfect position of being in the middle of everything. I mean the Grand Traverse Bay is just steps from your Condo. The Grand Traverse Resort less than a mile down the road. Downtown Traverse City is just a bike ride down the TART Trail. It's just fantastic.

What makes this property unique

Some unique benefits that come with our Condos: The keyless entry. No more losing your key card or worrying whether you are coming in to late. Third floor views with no one above you making noise. Our prices are out the door, meaning no additional surprise charges that some hotels or other Condos in The Shores spring on us. Speaking of prices, we try to price our Condos on the low side, to be affordable. Full access to The Bay, The Bay, The Bay.
