Great location within walking distance to beach and biking distance to Traverse City. Cute/clean condo with great proximity to all the attractions or just to relax on the balcony.

Lovely spot
Quite and although no water view- super convenient
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
The location is great. We’ve stayed here before but in another unit. The decor was dated, coffee was expired by over a year, utensils were broken or poor quality, and the walk ways, deck on the condo were mildewed and covered in webs and bugs. The transactional piece was good but overwhelmed with the amount of communication. Vrbos in the past would have a book at the site with instructions on how to work the tvs, etc. It took us nearly a half hour to find the Michigan game. Could not figure out how to switch from Roku to dtv then could not access the Channel guide so we had to go 1 by 1. Bed and linens were comfy and good. Bathroom clean but toilet does not flush well.
