☀ Grand Traverse Bay Lake View 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 deck to enjoy the lake view. With a flat-screen TV (cable included), full bath with vanity area, kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, stove top, panini grill, blender, coffee maker, and electric tea kettle. This beautiful corner condo, bright and spacious, overlooks 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'll 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. 😌

The condo was an average type place to stay. Everything in the condo did its job but you could tell it was a rental. It is functional but quite a ways from plushy. It is a good location for going into Traverse City or going further north up the coast.

Very quaint
Love the location and the quietness of the area. Having the lake so close was beautiful to see even though it's January. The place is very small and cozy. Keep in mind there is no oven, only 2 stove burners. The refrigerator is a small dorm size. Overall, the kitchen needs more. No strainer, only one hot pad. 1 dishtowel but no dishrags. The cleanliness is why I gave this 4 stars. There was a half eaten ice cream in the freezer, neither burners were cleaned, only covered. One of the dresser drawers was full of sand. Under the bed was a lot of dust, and even a piece of candy. things really need pulled out and cleaned well. Otherwise, it's a quaint area and rental. There was not a lot of traffic or people. I felt safe which was really important. I did communicate with the owner several times and that was always prompt and polite. I would stay again.

Maintenance
The property is very cute! The furnishings are very nice… very beachy and warm. Unfortunately the property was not cleaned well prior to our arrival… sandy and dirty floors, pans not clean. The kitchen faucet was very loose and cumbersome to use. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. We had to use the spin cycle of the dryer to wring it out after showers. Maintenance was requested but never came. The property would be so much cuter if all the glassware matched as well as the dishes. There was only small frying pan and one small pot. There was only one 4 square ice cube tray in the freezer. Nice Quisinart coffee pot though and countertop toaster oven.

Quiet, clean & relaxing
This condo was quiet, clean and very relaxing. It is just a short walk over the bridge to a nice beach and pool (unfortunately the pool was not opened but due to Covid). We would definitely return. There is no oven (who wants to bake on vacation anyways :), but there IS a cook top. We ate out so this was not a concern. Perfect for a beach getaway with lots of great restaurants and things to do close by. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation!
The condo was great! It was much smaller than we had expected though. The kitchen was very small and no room to cook as we have a family of 4 and there just wasn’t enough space. However, I was happy to relinquish cooking during my vacation 😎Also, make sure you bring some detergent, hand soap and dish soap or buy some when you get there because there wasn’t any. Our dish soap and hand soap were just about empty. Would have been nice to have full, fresh containers when we showed up. However, we made do because we rarely spent any time in the condo as we were having too much fun staying busy with all there is to do in Michigan!!! The location is A+. You are right on the beach. It feels almost private. You are able to rent paddle boards, jet skis, etc. right there. It is perfect. We will stay here again. Northern Michigan was seriously the best vacation. It’s a beautiful place and I can’t say enough about it!!!!

Perfect in every way
Really enjoyed our one night stay here. The condo was exactly as pictured; you literally walk across the bridge shown and you are at the bay. We took our chairs over and enjoyed the beautiful sunset. LOVED the decor inside the condo (clean and bright), it was cozy and the amenities were good quality. We had an issue of not being able to get in on time and the manager quickly took care of that for us. He also sent us a list ahead of time of good restaurants and activities to enjoy in the area. We would go back there in a heart beat. Great stay. Thanks!

Just ok
This condo is ok, nothing to rave about. We like to cook our own food, so the pans to use were not great. No lids, and one pans was rusty. It was a good enough place to stay as we were gone most of the 3 days we were there. We’ve stayed in much bigger condos for the same price. I think the draw was the closeness of the bay. We would probably choose a different place if we came to this area again. The check in was simple. When I gave a review to the property manager about some of the issues we had, they were nothing major, I only got a computer generated response. So I’m not sure if they even saw some of the issues. It was a decent place if you like to eat out all your meals and don’t mind that it was pretty small.
