Charming cottage with shared beachfront on Grand Traverse Bay near Northport.

Baypointe Cottage #6

Prime summer requires a 3-night minimum.

Enjoy this cozy cottage with access to 400' shared frontage on West Grand Traverse Bay. The cottage has two quaint bedrooms, one bathroom, with wood floors and an enclosed porch. The enclosed porch is a perfect area to dine or simply relax. Outside there is a picnic table and charcoal grill for dining outdoors. Enjoy the spacious grounds and shared beach area. Water access is just across the yard. (You do not have to cross a road.)

This is a wonderful central location for exploring all the best of Leelanau. Lots of fun is available in Northport during the summer, including the Northport Wine & Craft Beer Festival, Leelanau UnCaged, the Northport Dog Parade, and fireworks on the Fourth of July. Northport is only 4 miles from the cottage.

One dog is allowed. We ask that you please clean up after your pet.

Great location

The location was great. We enjoyed the close beach and water and grilling right at our vacation home. We loved downtown Northport for shopping and some meals. And it was so close to everything else for sight seeing, wine tasting, and more.

We had an excellent stay. The beachfront area is super private and provided great a shallow entrance with calm waters for the kid. Little one also loved the rock painting, games, and monkey bars next to the cottage. Easy check-in and check-out, good internet, and well-located relative to Omena and Northport. I do not understand the complaints about lack of A/C - this was clearly stated in the description, and it simply doesn't get that hot in northern MI.

Spur of the moment decision to vacay UP NORTH. Found this little dream cottage was open on our dates. Very clean and pleasantly decorated cottage with a beautiful screened in front porch. Close to many things we wanted to do and lovely little beach . Not so fond of the internet outage, but good communication with maintenance. Will be renting again if available.

Perfect little cottage. 6 of us didn’t need anything more. Clean, beautiful location, and quiet. Loved sitting by the water early in the morning. Glad we brought air mattress, fit well in the screened porch area.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Having the enclosed porch just makes this! Plenty of room for 4 adults. Bunk beds were a tad short for adult men, haha, so they slept on the pull-out sofabed. Great location, almost no bugs, easy access to the beach, and the water was actually warm! We - and the dog - had a terrific week!

Weekend getaway

The cottage looks exactly like the photos. It is small but very cute on the inside. We loved the screened in porch and the short walk to the beach that is on the property. It was very clean upon arrival. It probably could use some updates but we loved that there was a grill for the cottage and chairs to be outside.

Small but cute - Perfect for a short stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The cottage is well-kept and in a great location for visiting various venues on the peninsula. It was clean and included all that we needed. However, the window in the small bedroom with the bunk beds was broken, and the chest in the main room had blankets in each drawer, which made it impossible to put any clothing away. So, those staying in that room had to live out of their suitcases.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location between Northport and Suttons bay.

However, the home was not equipped with enough fans to make the warm weather comfortable while in the house, as there is no AC.
