Great tranquil setting, wonderful view, and very clean. Owner provided wonderful suggestions for things to do, food, and wine/beer. Would gladly return and will recommend to others!
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.

Cool Little Studio
Small but stylish and cozy place. I really enjoyed my time here. I loved the view from the balcony. The shower was great. The heat in the room was awesome, which was important because I stayed there in the winter. It was a very comfortable spot close to downtown. Thank you!

Just do it!
I came here for the peak of fall colors. The location, colors and everything was just perfect! We did wineries, breweries and the casino. Other days we just stayed on the property to enjoy the scenery. I will definitely be back!
I thought there was too much communication. Overall it was great! The room was comfortable, it was perfect for the two of us. Very clean, nice furniture.
We had to book the condo last minute due to our other reservation at another location falling through Condo was clean but could use a couple things. Coffee maker did not work and the fan in the bathroom needs to be replaced.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
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.
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.
The unit was set back from Grand Traverse Bay with gorgeous views from the balcony. Unit was spotless, and comfortable. Had an excellent time and would definitely rent again!
