Quiet Clean Traverse City Condo

The condo was exactly as explained. We were so appreciative of the quiet and cleanliness. The location was perfect for going to Traverse and surrounding areas. The beach and the sunsets were spectacular. We also appreciated the boat rental being so close.

Great Stay!

Our stay was wonderful at the condo! We had no issues checking in and out. The apartment was clean and cozy. Some of the pans and utensils could be replaced on the kitchen but it was usable and not an issue. The host provided a bottle of wine and a wine tasting pass. Overall a great stay!

We had a kind of rocky start with some issues maintenance had to come address, but they were very polite and made it right. The condo itself was nice and the location wasn't too far of a drive to Downtown TC.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, communication
I paid over $200 for one night in this condo and the door would not lock and was unlocked when we arrived. I’m appalled by the lack of safety and felt very uneasy and unsafe throughout our stay.

Wonderful place, hard beds

The location was wonderful. It was a quiet wooded area. Not every condo at this location is directly on the water. Ours was a short walk to the beach, where there was sand, beach chairs, and a water sports area. The pool was closed due to COVID. The apartment had a kitchen and the location was a short drive to a grocery store to pick up anything that was needed. The apartment was clean and nicely appointed. The main queen size bed mattress was very hard. The pull out couch mattress was very springy (meaning you could feel every one).

Worst place ever!

Silly me! It said this condo was beachside and never mentioned what floor it was on. It wasn’t anywhere near the beach and was on the third floor with no elevator. The private beach was an absolute joke , and the swimming pool was for condo owners only! I would never recommend The Shores in Williamsburg, MI, to anyone! I have learned the hard way to make phone calls and ask a lot of questions about any rental property!
