Enjoy breathtaking sunsets on the 600ft sandy beach of East Grand Traverse Bay with a natural wooded setting. This gorgeous studio condo at The Shores was newly renovated and upgraded throughout 2025. Super-comfy with high thread-count linens and a private setting - it is the perfect nest and springboard for your Up North fun and adventures. Lovely cedar deck to enjoy the water view. Flat-screen TV (cable included) and Wi-Fi. Full bath with vanity area. Kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, stovetop, coffee maker, and electric kettle. Overlooking Grand Traverse Bay in a setting of towering pines, a flowing stream, and a beautiful sandy beach. Our ground-floor condo is located on East Grand Traverse Bay at the intersection of US31 and M72.

Pool access: This is a wonderful location regardless, however frustrating for all involved; this past year, the Resort that owns the pool put some strict policies in place only allowing guests that book directly through them or use it - even we as owners can't use it. That said, the beach is gorgeous, but they also host weddings there sometimes - however, you can walk along the beach to the left, and it extends to a public beach which is lovely too, and you'll always have access there.

There is one little semi-workaround if you really want a pool; you can book a spa treatment at the Grand Traverse Resort, and you'll receive access to the pool and facilities for the rest of the day. Just request the code to access the pool/locker rooms, and you'll be able to use their indoor pool, indoor/outdoor hot tubs, tennis courts, etc.

You also already have access to their shops, restaurants, and golf. 😌

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.
