Unit 7 was nice, but lower level you will not have an ocean view. The short walk to the beach is lovely! An upgrade to the couch and frying pans would be a plus. Be mindful of the shower as the half door can leak to floor when stepping out. Don’t forget your beach towels. Overall nice stay, but did mark average clean. When we stepped into condo the mat at door was dirty. Also spring cleaning for dust and such behind furniture. We notice when we had to plug fan in and charge cords there is dust build up. This condo provided 2 box fans. This was helpful and appreciated.

It was so relaxing!

Our lake view condo was the perfect setting for our get-away staycation. We were able to cook some meals ourselves which was nice. There was enough equipment to make breakfast, lunch and dinner.The location was great with quick access to downtown and other location. It was perfectly quiet and everthing was great.

So Peaceful

Was clean and comfy! This is nestled in trees with a view of the water. It's a great place to unwind in the fall and would be great in the summer as the pool and beach are nearby. Was stocked with everything you need! Would highly recommend!

The condo was in an easy to find and get to location. Our unit looked out on a wooded area with a view of East Bay through the trees. It was very quiet inside, inspite of being able to hear traffic when outside. We also loved being able to walk out back from the deck and over a wooden bridge to the beach area. We had a couple issues with the dryer, but management got back to me promptly and a repairman was sent out to fix it a couple days later. We have stayed in various locations around Traverse City area over the years and this was one of our favorites.
