About this property

Perfect Getaway - 5 min walk to beach, Tart trail, boat/kayak launch

Get ready to feel right at home the next time you visit Northwestern Michigan. Perfectly located, our property is (1) block from East Bay's beaches, boat launches, marinas, boat rentals, restaurants and more. We are also just (3) blocks to the Tart and Leelanau Trails, with bike access to Traverse City (2 miles), its theaters, Wineries, Breweries, Farmers Market and other amenities. The trails also provide bike access to Suttons Bay (15 miles), and even to Sleeping Bear Dunes (22 miles). Located on a quiet residential street tucked away in a neighborhood oasis just one block off M22, there is no better location for enjoying all the area has to offer with ease next time you find yourself headed Up North.. Note re Furniture- very plush and comfy, made to sink back and relax. Not ideal for guests who desire hard surfaces that are easy to get up from. Guests with mobility limitations would lbe most comfortable on Pottery Barn loveseat in living area or a dining room chair with arms to help tthem sit down and stand up. Most people love the comfiness but it doesn’t suit everyones needs.

We chose this location based on how close it was to our daughter’s wedding venue and to downtown. The house is very clean and quiet and provided us with a welcomed retrieve from the craziness of a wedding. The hostess was very accessible and incredibly easy to work with.

Such a lovely stay!

Judy's place was perfect for the six of us - we were three sets of adult couples. Couldn't have asked for a more convenient, comfortable stay. Judy herself was incredibly helpful with accommodations and location recommendations (food, events, area). The beds were comfortable, kitchen roomy, ample bathrooms, and plenty of space to spread out. Loved the walkable area - only just a few easy minutes to an awesome public beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat - thanks Judy!

We stayed at this property for a long weekend while in town for a wedding. Host was very accommodating, especially when she learned we had a young toddler with us. Easy to communicate with and made the check in/out process a breeze. Plenty of linens/towels, basic pantry items, dishes, etc to make your stay comfortable. Just a few minutes from a lovely beach park.

Weekend Away!

We spent an enjoyable long weekend with our adult children, the deck makes a nice gathering place. The kitchen was well appointed with cookware/appliances, we were able to fix all our meals, relax and enjoy our family. We had one minor issue, but the host was very responsive, and it was addressed quickly and efficiently.

Thank you for sharing your review of Perfect Getaway and for staying with us. I am happy your family enjoyed your time together! While we strive to earn a 5 star review it isn’t always possible due to unexpected events. I agree it was not a five star experience for your family. Being cognizant of that resulted in my reaching out to ask what you felt I could do to make up for the only issue that ever occurred during a guest stay, to make things right and that I would agree to whatever you felt was fair. After discussing it with your husband and family you responded that the value expected was met and that you felt no need for any adjustment to our rates. I was relieved you were happy with your experience and what you paid even with an issue we needed to address. I also payout comment that it is a beautiful home. I think most people would have taken advantage of my offer and want to thank you for your understanding and kindness. I do agree we did not earn our 5 star goal and only wish I had been able to do something to raise your experience to our standard. The piece of furniture causing the issue has been removed and a new, very high quality piece has replaced it.

Great location in a quiet neighborhood near many restaurants and amenities. Judy the property manager was great to work with and responded immediately to all inquiries.

Off the Beaten Path

In the middle of a hectic vacation locale, you can find peace and quiet at this VRBO. Having breakfast on the front deck together was a great way to start the day. It was like being at home. Any type of cookware was available, and the hostess went to extra lengths in welcoming us. There was plenty of room for our party of six adults. We had a wonderful weekend in TC.

Property owner goes above and beyond

This house was the perfect place for our family of 6. Close to several great restaurants, an ice cream place, the bike trail and the lakeshore. Yet it was tucked away just enough for privacy and quiet. Judy, the owner, was especially wonderful to deal with. We were welcomed to the house with a bottle of wine and plenty of waffle mix for breakfast. This was so nice after a long day of driving! We would definitely stay here again!

Short Vacation with our children and their families

We were very pleased with the accommodations and the accuracy of the information provided. Judy was very helpful and quick in answering any questions we had. Judy provides everything you need and more. The location was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the deck. A quick walk to the beach or to get ice cream was a lovely way to spend each day. And a lake to fish and/kayak was nearby also. We are ready to plan another trip!
