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.

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!

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!

This home is comfortable and beautifully decorated. The beachside living space is great - sunning, swimming, grilling, beach-combing, lounging, and enjoying beach campfires.

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!

Great Place

The house was great, the access to town was great, the waterfront was great, and the owner was great! The house is on a main road so there is some substantial road noise. Not a huge deal, but worth knowing if you are a light sleeper.

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!

Yearly Family Trip in Traverse City

An excellent week that this incredible home. The location was perfect for us. We wanted to spend more time closer to the town for this trip and still enjoy the water. This beautiful home is right on the lake. Mornings were beautiful taking in the sunrise and staring over the water. Despite the chilly weather we still enjoyed the paddle boat and the kayaks. There was a great firepit for our use as well so we had one night of s’mores! The home was well stocked with all you needed to cook. Crock pot, pots/pans, cookie sheets... you name it. There were also plenty of spices which is nice. Those are items you never think to bring. A Single cup Keurig also provided. The bedding was great and plenty of towels and extra linens provided. A nice feature was the washer and dryer. The home has been nicely remodeled and big enough for our family to enjoy. Finally this is a dog friendly property. It really was a nice place for our dogs. We would definitely stay here again when back in Traverse City. Communication with owners was great and timely. They could be reached any time we needed. No issues with check-in process and they ask for very little when you leave. Treat it like your own home. You’ll love your stay.

Wonderful Property with great views and beautiful home

We booked this trip, our first to Traverse City, and was in constant contact with the owners representative. She always answered all my questions and concerns promptly and was willing to help in any way once we got there. When we arrived at the property we were pleased at how pretty it was from the outside driveway. The lawn and landscape were in great shape and beautiful flowers greeted us The drive is a half circle and you can pull out easily onto the road unless the driveway has a ton of cars in it. We walked in and it was spotless and the view from everyone room in the back of the house facing East Bay was breathtaking. Their was a slight problem with the washer and the Owners representative did mention right away that they were having issues with the repair company. I know they have since fixed it. It was a very modern laundry system and we were fine with it. Life isn't always perfect...... The beach had been raked and the deck was furnished with all we needed. The gas grill was an asset for evening dinner relaxing on the deck . We loved the fire pit for roasting marshmallows while the sun went down. The only complaint we had was that we had to go home so quickly. We would love this place to be on our favorite spot each year.

Please fix amenities

My family enjoyed staying in this home for a week but there were some issues that prevent this from being a great stay. The home is located on a very busy main road. While we were aware of this, it doesn't take away the fact tenants must cross the very busy road to walk pets, and pulling out when leaving has it's challenges. One side of the home remained hot the entire time we stayed because the A/C was locked on a setting. Working in the main living room on wireless devices like laptops was unsuccessful since the wireless signal was too weak. We tried three different computers, all couldn't pick up the weak signal unless sitting at the kitchen table. Another sore spot was not being notified that the washer was broken. We got the impression that this has been broken for a while and they didn't plan on having it repaired while we were there. The last issue was the grill. It really didn't get hot enough to cook without closing the lid and all the burners wouldn't light. The beautiful view and beach make staying here worth it. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom situation for 6 or more people can be uncomfortable. The bathroom in the master isn't separated from the room so everything is on display from the bed. The other rest room is quite small and not great for sharing with a whole house.

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,.......
