A Must Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing property that is furnished and decorated with good quality items instead of garage sale acquisitions. The kitchen is nicely stocked with quality items and appliances. The house is incredibly clean and organized. The AC works very well as well. The private beach is another bonus. While the road noise (M22) is significant in the front of the house, the backyard is quite and private. This is an excellent place to stay.

Relaxed Stay!

The property was very, very clean and well cared for. It was well stocked with living essentials (Soaps, cleaning products, TP , paper towels, etc) kitchen items, linens, etc. It was in a very good location easily accessible to downtown Traverse City and Sutton's Bay. Very nice beach. It is located on a very busy street (M-22) so if you have small children or pets who easily run from you -you need to be aware of that. Highly recommend property!

West Bay House with extras

Family getaway with adult children. Lots of kitchen items, storage & cooking options. Home was clean & tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the private West Bay beach, although the traffic speeding made it difficult to cross the street or get out of the drive at times. Huge backyard. Kayaks were a nice extra, although my very tall family members did not fit well. Would stay here again despite that & would recommend!

Loved it

First off the beds were amazing. I have stayed at so many others for work and this one had the most comfortable beds. Loved the little beach area. It was perfect for a nice little relax after a long day. I have learned I am not a kayak person.. lol but if you are then you will enjoy them. All and all it was a great stay. And I 10 out of 10 recommend.

Beautiful Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great space and location. Plenty of room for 6 people. Backyard and beach areas were beautiful! Had a lot of dishes and supply of towels/blankets/pillows. Most things were cleaned well. However, there was a lot of dust on windowsills, fans, and underneath beds. The couch and chair have been used a lot and are kind of hard to get out of, especially if you are older. We didn’t spend a ton of time at the house, mainly just for sleeping and breakfast. So it worked well for us.
