Great Location! It was away from downtown so it was quiet. Yet, a short drive to all the sights. . The bedroom was very nice and kitchen was well stocked.

Really Wonderful Stay (Short or Seasonal)

Thankful to have found a furnished, clean, comfortable space to spend our winter in TC. True North was accommodating and GT Resort maintenance was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be recommending this listing in the future!

Liked: Check-in, location

The furnishings were old and soiled, the room smelled musty, the carpet was soiled, the silverware tray in the drawer was dirty, the communication on what to do before we checked out that I inquired about on Tuesday did not arrive until after we left Saturday morning. The property was overpriced. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean and the shower had good pressure. I would not recommend staying there again unless the carpet was removed and furnishings were refreshed and the musty smell was eliminated. The condo was on the second floor and it was not listed in the listing. It really would be nice to have a book in the property that provide information about check in and check out expectations so we would not have to worry about it for five days and in the end when we received no direction before we left and just did things we thought were reasonable as we left the property.

Place was good, but so dry. Older place but bed was very good. Tea pot and electric tea pot are old and chipping so don't use them. Beach was nice but no chairs when we went, maybe since it was October

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.

Beautiful, Peaceful setting

We really enjoyed our stay. The Bay and lakes there couldn't be any prettier. I was under the impression each unit had a bay view. Our unit had a garden view. It was still very pretty. I didn't specifically ask. Everyone there is super friendly and accommodating and the cool clean air and water are refreshing. It's very humid where I live. I definitely recommend it!

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.

Great location. There's a little beach park and playground right next door. We had no problem using all of the amenities and pool at Grand Traverse, which was a nice perk.

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.

Nice cute place to stay

Check in process was very simple. Host communicated and was prompt in responding. Place was cute and right outside of Traverse City making it easy to get to downtown and other surrounding places. Everything we needed was provided and available! Definitely would book again!
