This place was very clean, fresh and newly renovated. Easy check-in, convenient location to Traverse City and the lake. I'm giving it 5 stars for the price and would stay again. Only minor complaint is higher quality linens/towels/TP would be appreciated (and expected at a higher price point). Also note the fold out couch is a blow up (we didn't try it out, since it was just my 10 year old she opted to sleep on the large couch without folding it out and was very comfortable).

If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Traverse City this condo will not disappoint! It is clean, welcoming, and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable as was all of the furniture. We loved the floorplan as it offered a spacious feeling that never felt crowded. The kitchen was well-appointed with appliances and tools to make breakfast, or even a small meal! We look forward to a return visit!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re thrilled the condo felt clean, comfortable, and welcoming — and that the layout and kitchen worked well for your stay. It means a lot to hear the bed and furniture were cozy and that you felt at home. We’d love to host you again — you’re always welcome back to Traverse City!

For the most part our stay was great. The check in and out was great and very accommodating. The apartment was clean and very comfortable , but at times the noise and traffic outside was a bit loud. Great location and would definitely recommend this location.

Very clean, has everything you need. Plenty of towels (beach towels were a plus). Kitchen comes fully equipped with all you need to enjoy eating in. Perfect location, walking distance and short drive to wherever you need to go. Beach location, short walk across the street. Quiet location, no noise from neighbors and our unit was on the 2nd floor. We’ll definitely be back and will recommend this condo.

Excellent Room, pretty good location

Excellent room and value. Very clean and comfortable. The only minor downside of anything is the location is a bit of a ways(about a mile) from the actual traverse city Main Street area and there is substantial construction being done on the water front road making it very difficult to get to the waterfront walking/biking path

This property is located within walking distance of the TC Bay. Having the assigned parking spot was handy. The property is just minutes away from downtown TC and is close to the Leelanau Peninsula where we spent most of our days. We'd recommend staying here!

Great condo

The property was very clean and comfortable. A great location right by the west bay. It was a quick drive to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go and traffic in and out was never an issue. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. No issues or complaints, and would highly recommend.
