About this property

The Bay View Brick --Stunning View of Bay



Great for small family or 2 couples, or just one couple wanting room to roam. 4 adults max although we could make room for an extra small child.

Major remodel completed 2018. High end features, not your usual vacation rental in this area. 1200 sq ft semi open floor plan with 2 car attached garage. Everything brand new including all appliances, fixtures, furniture, beds, bedding etc. 2BR, 1 & 1/2 bath. Some vintage pieces to add character.

Close enough to downtown TC (approx 4 miles north) and very convenient to explore all the great things Leelanau County has to offer.

Central air. New electrical, plumbing and mechanicals for your safety and comfort.

Spectrum cable internet (100 Mbps free wifi). Hulu Live, Disney +, Max, Netflix, and Prime as wells as Amazon Music included. 49 inch Samsung Series 8 smart TV.

2 similar sized bedrooms (approx 12 x 14 and 10 x 15 ). Front bedroom has nice view of bay, back bedroom partial view.

1 decent sized spa-like bath (6 x 10) with oversized tub/shower combo. 2 vessel sinks on 6 ft mid-century cabinet with quartz top. Small but really cool half bath added as well carved out of preexisting closet space.

Stunning unobstructed view of West Bay across the street, but without any real access to the water. No significant beach.

Large mostly private back yard with new large concrete patio, grill and fire pit. Teak table and chairs with umbrella. Sunny in the afternoon but shaded after 5 or 6 by large mature trees on hillside in back.

More serene hammock spot in at the back of the property in a nice myrtle patch amongst the trees with a little view of the bay.

Full size washer and dryer were left in the basement to preserve living space upstairs. Basement drywalled, partially finished but still needs work. Basement is oddly accessed from inside garage. Ping pong table in basement.

Please note that we are now being regulated by local government and we must comply to maintain our license to operate .... so you must also. It's easy. Basically, don't disturb the neighbors. No events or parties. No RVs, tents, campers. If you invite guests they must leave during quiet hours. 10 pm - 8 am weekdays, 11 pm weekends.

The house and property were beautiful. Tammy was an excellent host. Our only issue was the pillows provided. They were all very thin and not the most comfortable so we did not sleep our best there.

My sister and I came up for a weekend away. The house was perfect, super clean and very comfortable. The water view in the morning was beautiful. It was in the best location for us between Traverse City and Suttons Bay. I would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Thanksgiving in Traverse City

Beautiful home with a lake view. Well stocked kitchen which worked well for cooking Thanksgiving dinner. The gas logs gave a great atmosphere as we watched the snow fall outside.

Peaceful, home nearby both traverse city and suttons bay!

Had a lovely time at this home with my wife and two friends in town for a wedding. It is only a few miles from traverse city (away from the wild tourism that sometimes overwhelms the are), and also close to suttons bay. Quite a perfect location! It was very cute and clean and has a beautiful and private backyard with a fire pit (complete with good firewood!) to relax in after a day of exploring the city, wineries, or local beaches. Highly recommend!

Cute house peek-a-boo views super clean

The house was cute and super clean. My two favorite things were that it was meticulously maintained abd there were two equivalent size bedrooms. Since I was travelling with a friend it's always nice when both bedrooms are nice. Host was super communicative and have a little welcome note that was so sweet. Only complaint is that house is on a pretty busy street and it was hard to identify house especially in the dark would love to see light up numbers or like a wooden spinner in yard or something so keep your eyes glued to the gps and be ready to turn in at a seconds notice!

Great house, great host

I stayed here for a few days with my toddler and husband. The house is lovely and looks exactly as pictured. The backyard is beautiful and perfect for a kid who wants to run around. The house is decorated nicely and very comfortable. The AC was great! The check in process was also very easy. The host was so kind and provided a pack n play, high chair, and even put a bunch age-appropriate toys and books out for us. The host was communicative, welcoming, and well-organized. I would highly recommend this property and host to anyone else. We will definitely try to rent from them again.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy Space

Host profile image
I've lived in Traverse City my whole life and my husband since 1988. We live on West Bay Shore Dr just down the road. This is our 2nd rental property and we are excited to help you have a great experience in and around Traverse City. We have lots of local knowledge and advice to offer. The picture is sunset at Good Harbor Beach on Lake Michigan.

Why they chose this property

Great location for experiencing everything Traverse City and Leelanau county have to offer. Minutes from downtown Traverse City. Easy drive to many local wineries and beaches or day trips to Suttons Bay, Leland, Glen Arbor, and Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore.

Close to TART trail. Bike to Suttons Bay for lunch. Unfortunately M22, aka West Bay Shore is not safe for biking so you'll need a bike carrier. We do have a few extra bikes, bike trailer, and tag-a-long to lend if needed. Highly recommend biking the TART trail and Heritage Trail at Sleeping Bear.

What makes this property unique

Fantastic view of West Bay.

Across street from West Bay but with no real access to the water. Not much of a beach due to high water level in recent years.
