Condo on the beach

Nice quiet condo steps from the beach. Nice that it is not right in the noise and bustle of Traverse City but close enough to get into town for shopping or dining.

Great getaway

Very impressed with the location and the beach was definitely a bonus. Easy access in and out. Room was extremely clean and comfortable. Very close to many attractions. The only downfall was they have a pool/ bar which wasn’t accessible to Vrbo patrons but beach made up for it. Beautiful sunsets.
