Right on the beach! Located along the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay, just outside the picturesque town of Harbor Springs, this property is perfect for a vacationer's needs.

The condominium's open living and dining space features lots of natural light, a fireplace, a breakfast bar and a balcony with water views. The dining room table seats six, with three additional spaces at the bar. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and china, and the downstairs washer and dryer make life much easier. The living room and both bedrooms have flat-panel TVs. Wifi is included. There is a queen bed in the primary bedroom, and the second bedroom features a queen bed with an extra-long full bunk up top. The loft overlooking the living room has a combined daybed/sitting area. Beach towels are provided. Whether you come to relax, swim or ski, this lovely, air-conditioned unit is a great place to stay.

Situated in the small, waterside development (seven units total) of Cedar Cove, part of the private community of Harbor Cove, this rental has full use of four community tennis courts, an indoor pool and an outdoor pool. On the beach, there is approximately one mile of sand, with a private beach house providing sheltered dining areas, bathrooms and an outdoor shower. Picnic tables and grills can be found poolside (gas) and at the beach (charcoal). Streamside woodland hiking trails are open year 'round, and a children's playground area is located near the pool.

Exceptional stay!

We have been coming up north for 16 years. We love harbor cove and cedar cove area. The condo was wonderful and everything we could or hoped for! Love the big TVs for movies and shows. The beach and pool house were also great and we spent most of our time there. We have already booked again for next years stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 June 2025
Thank you for your feedback. After 58 other reviews, including 53 5-star and five 4-star reviews, we have to admit we were very surprised by this response. We will take the adjective "functional" for the win, but we question why this condo with three floors of living space has "tight quarters," especially as your review indicated "listing accuracy" as one of the property's strengths. We work hard to make our listing best reflect what works for our guests, with clear descriptions of bed sizes, the six-seat dining table plus a three-bar stool area for dining, and the two bathrooms featuring one bath with a tub/shower, and a second bath with a shower only. We are glad you ranked the unit high for cleanliness, location, check-in and communication.

Property with great amenities near Harbor Springs

We very much enjoyed our stay. The amenities were great. We loved our days swimming at the community pool and beach, and enjoyed the sites close by in Harbor Springs and Petoskey. The property behind the complex was a wooded sanctuary with trails to a serene rocky beach.

Great condo in a quiet area

We enjoyed our week at this very tidy, well-appointed condo! The walking paths to the beach and views of the bay through the trees were just lovely. The complex was quiet, and many times in the evening we were the only ones enjoying the Adirondack chairs on the beach. Centrally located with quick access to Petoskey and Harbor Springs, and an easy jumping off point for trips up to Mackinaw City to catch the ferry or to head to the UP. Thanks for such a nice stay!

Another great week

We have stayed at this property before, and we love it here. It is in a perfect location, right between Harbor Springs and Petoskey. The condo is nicely decorated, and very clean. There is a small beach area directly behind the unit, and there is a lovely view of the water from inside. A very short walk away is the association’s beach which is large and never too crowded. We are looking forward to our next stay!
