Boat rentals at the dock! Nothing better than spending time on a boat on the bay in Northern Michigan.
Near the world renowned Sleeping Bear sand dunes. Truly breath-taking. Must see.

☀ Gorgeous Grand Traverse Bay Beach Front Condo

Occupancy # 4 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. Completely renovated, our 1-bedroom condo at the shores is spacious and contemporary. Large balcony to relax on. With a flat-screen TV (cable included), full bath with vanity area, kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, stovetop, panini grill, blender, coffee maker, and electric tea kettle. This beautiful condo, bright and spacious, sits on Grand Traverse Bay in a setting of towering pines, a flowing stream, and a beautiful sandy beach. 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.

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 will 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. 😌

NOTE: Please be advised that the stove is currently not working, but we have provided a single electric burner for your use. The new stove is expected to arrive next month (October). We apologize for the inconvenience.

Quiet place to relax

This quiet condo is a good place to unwind outside of TC. We had no issues with anything while staying there. It's easy to find and easy to come and go. The price is right and the amenities are good. Parking is excellent. The newer laminate in the kitchenette is nice. Bed is comfortable and towels are nice and fluffy. The beach is convenient and has plenty of space for people to enjoy. Overall it's a good place to land. We enjoyed the quiet space.

Grand Traverse Bay Condo Stay

good location, just outside of town. Nice facility, but not a beach front condo. We were in building 8 which is in the woods, a short distance from beach. Pool and beach area was nice. Had issues with the thermostat, call center was responsive but it took 3 of our 4 day stay to resolve. Also had issue with the dishwasher. It was filled with stinky water and when we tried to run it (as per the rental agreement) the water leaked onto the floor. This was not resolved during our stay. Overall, we would stay here again.

Could be better

The location was nice with the beach. The cleanliness of the condo was not the best. The carpet had stains along with the blue chair appeared dirty and worn out. The bed was extremely uncomfortable but we made due. I would definitely stay in the area again but not with this condo/complex.

I like the condo. The only problem I had was with the kitchen table and a very small living room chair. I am a tall guy and my knees would not fit under part of the kitchen table. Living room chair is way too small. The condo was very clean and nice.

After hours fill-in support was the shining spot

The room that was booked was a total disaster, dirty bed, dirty bath room, full dishwasher, terrible smell. The communication prior to getting to the location was terrible, no response, had no idea how to check-in let alone get into the room. I had to call the office after hours and luckily I reached a person that was extremely helpful. That person got me changed into a more acceptable unit, although she did not know where it was in the complex so i had to drive around searching in the dark for it. I sent follow up emails after my stay and got no response to my complaints. I would not recommend staying at a property that is run by this management company.

Incredible Location, Exactly as Described

Check-in was a breeze, it’s a nice benefit to not have to deal with any physical keys. The access to a private beach is a huge plus! The outdoor pool was completely closed to everyone, so at least I didn’t have to explain to the small kids in my family why we weren’t able to use it. I think it’s important to know that the fridge isn’t full-size and there is no oven, but it does allow for there to be slightly more counter space. The kitchen was otherwise well-equipped. Thank you!

Fun trip!

We had a wonderful stay and quickly fell in love with Traverse city! A few disappoints with our stay—the pool was already closed for the season and that was not communicated. It is also misleading to call this a “beach front” condo. All the photos are of the *only* beach front condo but the condo we were put in was a good 3-5 min walk from the beach. It would have been fine but it is misleading to not be more clear in the listing. Overall though it was a nice, clean place and we would come back!
