Not everything works.

Our TV had poor reception couldn't watch it. Asked for help, someone came out to look at it but couldn't do anything about it at that time. We contacted the person through Vrbo and they said they would give partial refund which has not happened. I have messages stating that there would be a partial refund.

Cute and comfortable!

This property is in a great location. I stayed here while I was attending a conference at Grand Traverse Resort. Close to the resort, a short walk to the beach, close to downtown Traverse City, and all amenities. It was very clean and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Convenient for family

Close to the beach, easy to run back and fourth to the room if you have kids and need to do naps. Down side our refrigerator wouldn’t close and the bathroom and screen door were so loud and hard to open. The fees were outrageous considering there was no cleaning service, breakfast or open pool. For the price I would have stayed more in town.
