Wonderful place for a family to stay in Traverse City

We loved our stay at the Downtown Oasis by the Bay! The unit was clean, larger than we expected, and in a great location- easy walk to the beach or downtown, and within a 10-15 minute drive to everything we wanted to see in the Traverse City area. We will definitely be looking to see if this rental is available the next time we come up here!

Superb location so close to downtown and the bay …all within a short walk. Colleague and I were town for a conference and the property was truly a home away from home after a long day of classes and dinner downtown … So comfy, clean , and stocked with everything you could need. Troy was great and let us know all we needed to know so check in was easy and was available for any questions. We won’t hesitate to book again for the next Traverse City conference - or anytime just for fun with the family!

We’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime, whether it’s for another conference or a fun getaway with the family. Until next time, safe travels and thanks again for staying with us!

The reason for 3 Stars is because of communication and the weekend answering service they use.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location is very conveniently situated near the beach and downtown area where you can enjoy walking to. Overall the condo was ideal for my husband and two teen boys. We ended our second day watching the Canelo Boxing match by logging on to our Netflix account.We will definitely be back soon. Thank you

A great place for your family!

My husband I stayed here with our daughter’s family! We were so happy to see all the extras that they had at offer. Balls to play with in the park and a stroller for the short walk into town. We loved the trundle bed that allowed the kids to sleep in their parent’s room. It was easy getting around wether we were going into town, to the airport or sightseeing on the peninsulas.It was a wonderful weekend!
