Fantastic property

This condo is the perfect place to stay for a couple! It has great views, bed and shower. Dawn and Lisette were extremely attentive in every respect. Everything you could need is in it from cooking supplies to extras like coffee, cream, various spices, toiletries and a full washer and dryer with supplies. The beach is perfect and not crowded since it is private property for the condo residents only. The only downside, which has nothing to do with the condo, is the live music on Friday night. It was not something we enjoyed, since we came to be in nature and enjoy outside, not hear someone sing. We would stay again without a doubt, we would just bring ear plugs! Lol 🙂

Great Get Away

My husband and I love the Traverse City area and we love that this condo is just a short drive away from there. Even in the cooler temperatures, we were able to enjoy the water views, roam the beach nearby, and cozy up in the condo to keep warm.

Beautiful, clean, updated condo

When my husband and I walked through the door, there was a magnificent sunset. We quickly moved our bags into the condo and walked the beach loving every moment. What a great way to start a vacation! Upon coming back to the unit, we both commented on how accurate the pictures represented the space, lovely decor and cleanliness. Everything that you need was provided. Both of us highly recommend this rental and look forward to going back there again.

Nice short trip

Great place for a short weekend getaway. Great view of the East Bay sunsets. Communication with property manager was very fast with great suggestions. Only small notes were the WiFi was finicky, and the place was a bit small for anybody more than 2, or any stay longer than a weekend. But seeing how we only had my wife and I, and only for 3 nights, it was perfect!

Great long weekend getaway

View from the patio is gorgeous! We really enjoyed sitting outside for morning coffee. The condo has everything you need for a short stay. If you were staying for a long time or if the weather was bad, it might feel cramped, especially for more than 2 people. Pool was closed during our stay but this didn't bother us. We noticed the previously mentioned issues with spiders/bugs but only around the front door and stairwells (none in the condo!) - it appears the complex leaves all the outdoor lights on so I don't think it's possible to avoid some bugs this time of year. Overall, a nice weekend getaway

Pleasant Vacation

This is the second time we have stayed in this condo because of how much we loved it the first time. The location and views are amazing and it is a nice room. However, this time around we had a pretty big issue with spiders. I woke up to a spider on my pillow one morning as well as spiders along the doorwall track and in the bathroom. We found some spider spray and were able to get rid of them the remainder of the trip, but it was very unnerving to continue to sleep in the bed after waking up to a spider. Wish the spider spray had been applied before our stay. Also, because the pool on the property is closed, now the beach has become overcrowded. We had to check in with an employee upon entering the beach who told us we could only use a very small portion of the beach and specific (not as nice) chairs, because we are not Grand Traverse Resort guests. This beach limitation was mentioned no where in the listing. Of course, the small section of the beach was very crowded, no open seats, and with COVID-19 we should not be cramming together. Also, there was a wedding one evening which had almost the entire beach blocked off for the whole day. All in all, the minimal ability to use the beach was very disappointing, but we tried to make the best of our time.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn VanVolkinburg

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.
