    seasonal produce

    uncomfortable beds
    dated furnishings

    If you're a foodie, Traverse City has the goods! The seasonal produce and local jams are to die for, and you've got Dairy Queen just half a click away for those sweet cravings. Our One-Bedroom Suite was spacious and clean, giving us a perfect home base for our foodie adventures!

    spacious condo
    fantastic beach
    poor cleanliness
    outdated furniture

    The condo was spacious with a fantastic beach view, however, the cleanliness level left much to be desired, especially with dust and cobwebs around. The furniture was comfortable, but some areas felt overdue for updating. Overall, it was a decent stay with potential for improvement.

    Cozy suite, great amenities, with beach access just steps from our room and a lovely balcony to enjoy the sunset.

    The property is a bit outdated.

    I stayed for 1 night in a One-Bedroom Suite. The suite was clean and spacious. I enjoyed the beautiful view of the water. The indoor pool was warm and well-maintained. Friendly staff promptly provided extra amenities.

    spacious suite
    unreliable wi-fi

    Beachfront bliss with a twist

    Waking up to unparalleled views of the Grand Traverse Bay is a dream. The spacious suite was clean and equipped with a kitchenette, perfect for family meals.

    However, we faced frequent issues with the Wi-Fi, which was frustrating when we needed to plan our activities online. It seemed to be an ongoing problem.

    spectacular views
    clean pool
    foul odor
    uncomfortable intrusion
    rusty railing

    The sweeping views from the balcony created a perfect setting for morning coffee, and the pool area was impressively clean and well-maintained. However, entering the building through an awkwardly configured elevator that emitted a foul odor was unsettling. Additionally, I experienced an unexpected intrusion in my room by a man who misidentified a do-not-disturb sign, contributing to an uncomfortable atmosphere. The balcony railing showed signs of rust, which was concerning for safety.

    spacious layout
    cozy kitchenette
    comfortable living area
    accessible pathways
    improved mobility

    I loved the cozy and spacious layout of our room, which was like a small apartment. It had a lovely kitchenette, a comfortable living area, and easy access to the beach right from our balcony.

    Could use more accessible pathways for seniors.

    private sand beach
    flat-screen tv
    great hiking

    The private sand beach was perfect for volleyball, and we hit Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf nearby. The room had a flat-screen TV with cable, which was great after our hiking trips in the state park. Free pizza on Tuesdays was a fun bonus!

    maintenance issue

    great view but questionable maintenance

    The lake view from the balcony was truly beautiful, providing a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation. The one-bedroom suite offered ample space, allowing us to unwind after a long day.

    Unfortunately, the maintenance in the room left much to be desired.

    large balcony
    indoor pool
    check-out experience

    Had a lovely time enjoying the large balcony with spectacular views of the East Grand Traverse Bay and cooking in the fully furnished kitchen during our stay. The indoor pool and jacuzzi were perfect for unwinding after a long day of biking nearby. Just wish check-out could've been a bit friendlier. a simple thank you would have made a difference! 😊

    A Memorable Stay with Stunning Views!

    We stayed in a spacious suite with a breathtaking view of the bay. The private beach made our evenings perfect, and the proximity to local wineries and shops added to our experience. Don't miss the sunset from the balcony, it's absolutely magical!
