About this property

Panoramic Point - dazzling views and private beach

This beautiful home boasts a truly unique and incredible setting just off the famous M-22, situated on its own private peninsula surrounded by mature oak trees. With over 250 feet of private, direct waterfront, guests enjoy a secluded lakeside oasis like no other. The shoreline changes from season to season as water levels rise and fall; this year, the beach is fairly rocky, so we recommend bringing water shoes. A well-maintained dock features a sitting area at the end and a ladder for easy swimming access. Nearly every room in the home showcases water views, and the waterside decks provide some of the most expansive, breathtaking views of West Bay you’ll find anywhere.
Conveniently located, the home is just 5 minutes from downtown Traverse City and 12 minutes from Suttons Bay, making it easy to pop into town for restaurants, shopping, wineries, breweries, or evening entertainment.

Main Level
The main floor features hardwood flooring and large windows that fill the living and dining areas with natural light and panoramic water views. The tiled entry leads into a spacious kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, and a large island with seating for six. From here, step directly onto the main-level deck to enjoy outdoor dining or a peaceful morning coffee.

Upper Level
Upstairs, you’ll find:
• Primary Suite: King bed with stunning water views and private deck with seating for two.
• Bedroom 2: Queen bed and dresser.
• Bedroom 3: Two twin bunk beds and a large shelved closet with dresser.
A shared full bathroom includes double sinks, a shower, and a tub. The laundry area is also conveniently located on this level.

Lower Level
The walk-out lower level offers a newly carpeted, spacious area perfect for extra sleeping space and a cozy TV nook ideal for kids. This level includes:
• Additional sleeping arrangements: queen bed, bunk bed with a full on bottom, and a fold-out couch
• Full bathroom with double sinks and water views
• Double sliding doors that open onto the lower deck with plenty of room to unwind

Outdoor Living
The main-level deck provides seating for everyone, with wide steps leading to the lower deck and grilling area—equipped with both Weber gas and charcoal grills. The beach area includes multiple chairs for lounging and ample space to play. Several kayaks are available for guest use, making it easy to explore the water at your leisure.

Please note that the home accommodates up to 8 adults (an additional two children under the age of 5 may also stay for no additional costs).

ANTS! The deck does not have a railing. Dangerous for kids. Air conditioning units smelled musty. Lawn area grass/weeds too long for kids to play. Lots of sticks and pollen in yard. Battery needs replaced in main upstairs bedroom detector. Was beeping when we arrived. Ants were mostly downstairs but needs to be addressed. Beautiful area and beaches close by but beach at house not usable.

Thank you for your concern. We were required to respond to VRBO about the issues you reported. Our homeowner is already on regular pest control measures and there is a kit onsite if any unpleasantness occurs during your stay. This includes pest control measures and spare batteries. All smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors and inspected regularly and batteries replaced. We also provide first aid kits and fire extinguishers and label their locations throughout the home, as well as include in depth safety information regarding fire and water safety, and even local considerations like perfectly normal common local pests and dangers. The deck is currently approximately 23 inches off of the ground, which is well within Michigan's required 30 inches. We measured it after your report. Nonetheless, the homeowner is going to provide some dirt to bring up the ground a little bit more so that it's a shorter drop. All of the homes we manage are professionally cleaned and additionally inspected by a third party between each and every stay for any potential issues. We have a MUCH higher minimum safety and cleanliness standard than many other hosts in the area. I'm sorry you were unable to see that. I'm further sorry that you chose not to mention any issues during your stay. I would have been happy to alleviate any concerns, including setting out ant baits, changing batteries, and measuring the deck drop for you to assure you that the property is perfectly safe and well cared for.

Great spot to stay, the family truly enjoyed. House overall was spacious and clean. There were some bugs as noted in other reviews but this is typical for lakefront, and didn't view it as a detractor. Have been coming up for multiple years and one of my favorite places the family has stayed, hosts were great.

Great views of the Bay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, super quiet even though it’s on the main road (house is slightly lower than road). The boat launches are a bit farther than we would have hoped but still very manageable. The DNR launch north of the place was basically empty the entire week. The beach is fine but it does have a rocky bottom making mooring the boats a little bit tricky but still manageable. The house is really well appointed, very spacious with plenty of seating and the wraparound windows provide a million dollar view. That said, the bathroom showers are a bit tight and the basement drop ceiling makes it a bit difficult for taller people. The yard is fine though there isn't a lot of grass to run around on. The kayaks are pretty beat up but still function fine for short excursions and the deck furniture and deck itself definitely could use some TLC. Communication with property management was very prompt and appreciated. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful location and view, but the kitchen was infested with flies

Booked the place for a long weekend with our family of 5. View and location was wonderful, ample room for all. Cleanliness was not up to our standards, however, particularly in the kitchen and one of the bed sheets appeared not to have been washed. What was the most disappointing however, was the fruit/crop flies in the kitchen. We are michiganders and are used to bugs however the kitchen was infested. We had a difficult time cooking and eating because of them. My kids were very happy to return home. Sadly cannot recommend this rental unless that issue can be addressed.

Hi Stephanie! Very sorry about the fruit fly situation. They are a regular seasonal pest but we've been hearing from other businesses in hospitality that they are just especially bad this year. The wineries & restaurants are struggling as well and the hardware stores can't keep traps in stock. We did previously place fruit fly traps and have treated the drains. We checked before your stay (and after) and there were barely any left. We believe the population blooms when there are people (and food) in the home. We do believe we have done everything that is possible to do to eliminate them and prevent them from bothering guests, but we do sympathize, as we also live with them in our personal homes and know they are a pain. As for the housekeeper, we will follow up and address this for sure. Thank you for letting us know. Your feedback is very valuable and assists us in making sound business decisions. Thank you for staying with us!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The panoramic view can’t be beat! The house was perfectly designed to optimize the view of the bay and maximize occupant’s comfort. The house is consistently clean and well maintained. Beds and furnishings are comfy and cozy. The master suite feels luxurious with the giant, sunken tub and stunning view from both the bed and dedicated balcony. There’s an entire lower level with private deck, full bathroom, living area and comfy beds.Any questions were promptly responded to by the host. Highly recommend!

Amazing location

Best location to everywhere you want to go! We did wine tastings, beach in downtown Traverse, Sutton Bay, Fishtown, very good location! The views were absolutely stunning! We had two families and only two bathrooms was though but we made it work. They didn’t have the home cleaned when we checked in but Meagan (host) was very responsive and also asked if she could buy us dinner. Very gracious! Didn’t bother us much as we just went to dinner down the street. The main thing was the kitchen, not very clean and there was a significant amount of fruit flies that we couldn’t get rid of no matter what we did. There were water bugs that came in as soon as you open the door too. The kids loved playing in the water and the tree house! Overall we had a nice stay! Thank you again Meagan!

Summer Vacation

I’ll start and say like the previous renters the view and location are wonderful. However, from the moment we arrived at the property we were disappointed in the upkeep - or lack there of - of the yard and back patio. The pictures in the listing do not properly reflect the outside of the property. There is overgrowth of weeds obstructing the view that is not shown in the listing. Random piles of sticks throughout the lawn. The deck is falling apart with chipped paint. The patio furniture is also different from the listing with chipped paint and missing cushions. There are weeds everywhere and even growing up through the deck boards. I even started to pick the weeds they were so distracting, just what one wants to do on vacation. The lower deck has not been cared for either with dirty furniture and spiderwebs everywhere. Like the previous renter stated they are even spiderwebs on the chandeliers in the master bathroom. I have stayed at multiple vrbos at this price point and they have been immaculate, as they should be. We also had an incident that was disappointing during our stay. While out one day the cleaning ladies randomly entered our property thinking we had checked out. Not sure how that happened. They moved our delicates in the washer into the dryer (ruining clothes) and threw away some of our food in the kitchen! Then even put a dirty wine glass back into the cupboard. They then realized guests were still occupying the residence and left immediately, leaving all of their cleaning materials throughout the house and bedsheets in the hallway. It was a mess when we returned. Meagan, the property owner, would take days to respond to phone calls and text messages. When we were able to speak with her she was able to resolve our issues. I would not stay at this property again.

What beautiful views from this home. We truly enjoyed our week and would definitely come again. It is spacious, the kitchen well equipped, comfortable beds and lots of linens and towels. My only complaint is the condition of the deck. I spent over an hour cleaning both the deck and the furniture on the deck. Lower deck needs furniture replaced. I also think the windows should be part of the cleaning.

Family Vacation

The location was great. The views spectacular! The house was comfortable, spacious, and met the needs of our family. There were plenty of spaces for us to gather together and also spaces for privacy and time apart. We enjoyed climbing on the rocks and kayaking. There was some lack of maintenance on the property. The deck is in need of paint, the landscaping was not well maintained, there were cobwebs on the chandeliers, the doors had dirt smudges that could have been easily wiped off, the upper level air conditioner began to drip on the morning we departed, and the lighting in the lower level bedroom was problematic. Most of these issues did not interfere with our comfort during our stay but were disappointing for the price of the stay.

Beautiful house right on the water

My two best friends and I were up for a wedding and decided to rent this house for a long weekend. Absolutely gorgeous views of the lake from almost every window. House was extremely clean and well-kept but dated in spots. The only real complaint is the lack of address and/or signage at the top of the driveway on the road. Not only did we have trouble finding it initially but also every time we came home in the dark. Not to mention our Uber driver said it wasn’t even listed, and almost canceled our Uber due to not being able to find the house. I feel like posting a reflective address or even some type of signage would be incredibly helpful! Other than that, due to a medical emergency our stay was shortened, but we definitely plan on coming up again next year and hopefully staying in the same house! I would give it a rating of 4 1/2 stars all around!
