Great location, very short walk to the beach, a few minutes drive to TC and Mission Point peninsula.
Comfortable bed, quiet neighborhood, great home base for our trip.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Walked in to a condo that wasn’t ready (after the check in time) contacted host. No response. Cleaner came and made the beds but left things hanging that were drying. Tv in the bedroom didn’t work. Didn't even bother contacting bc after the first time with no response. Paid way too much to not have communication, a sorry or even a response or a condo that wasn’t ready.

Beautiful property
We enjoyed our time at The Shores property. Great location and wonderful decor. Overall a wonderful space to getaway to!
Liked the location, bed was comfortable. Was disappointed about the pool and beach area all closed up during our late September visit.

Wonderful Escape
We stayed for a birthday getaway weekend and everything was wonderful! Nice bay view from the deck (perfect place to relax with a cocktail or enjoy a meal) and a short walk to the waters edge. Comfortable bed, clean unit with great amenities. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great Condo and location
We spent 23 days here and had a wonderful time. Great sunsets and trail walking around Boardman Lake plus supper dinners at the Boathouse and Apache Trout Grill. Will coms back in the fall for color.
This apartment was adorable and in such a great location! Bed was super comfortable, shower was nice, and the views were great. I was here for the horseshow and it took only 5-10mins to get there each day. Also, the rental agency that runs these properties is super communicative and easy to reach. Would recommend!

Perfect get away
This condo was perfect for a long weekend with the ladies at the lake. The condo is clean, comfortable, and has lots of extras! Beautiful view of the woods and lake, a quick walk across the bridge and you are lakefront in a comfy lounger. Close to Traverse City for food and fun, but there are several places close by that had good food. We look forward to returning to this condo on our next trip north.

Weekend Stay
Stylish unit in a quiet community. We enjoyed walks on the beach and dining on the terrace. Only a small glitch that lights didn't work in kitchen but it didn't effect our stay. Really appreciated the recent renovations.

Fall color trip
Location of condo was good, but condo needed to be painted. The height of bed and toilet were unacceptable, and sofa was very worn. The interior doors did not shut well either. Would not recommend condo.
The place is a part of the Great Bear resort which is literally a 2min stroll to the sea shore. The place also had boat and kayak rentals which made the vacation more fun. The place was well maintained and the host was quick to respond to all our questions. I would go back for a second time for sure!!
Overall the place was good. Just a note that the bed sits almost on the floor and not good for the more aged folks to get up and out of it. Also, the management locks the thermostat so you are not able to adjust it yourself...not a good thing.

Liked: Communication
Disliked: Amenities
The exterior of this property had not been cared for. The pavement was filthy, the lounge chairs old, filthy and falling apart, the pool closed and the fire pit not open. The place felt like it hadn't been cared for properly in 20 years. The exterior of the building was covered in dirt and cobwebs. The inside of our unit needed cared for as well - broken doorknobs, wallpaper with water marks and buckling from wall, etc. Glad it was just my husband and I so kids were not disappointed. Glad we only had to sleep here. Would not come back. It's a shame because we used to stay in these condos years ago when our kids were little and they were awesome. Just entire Grand Traverse Resort property has not been cared for.
Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Great location and view. Really enjoyed our stay. One hand towel for 3 people was challenging and there was a strict towel policy that we didn't quite understand. Could have used more dish towels and wash cloths too. Bought more towels at local Meijer just up the road. Stove top did not work well. Light coming in above the front door into eyes of person sleeping on the couch was a problem. Some curtains on that window would have helped. All other units had blinds on their window above the entry door. Overall very pleased and great place to stay.
We really enjoyed our short stay. It’s such a cute little apartment. The views are amazing. Spent some time watching sunsets on the beach. Which is in walking distance. The kitchen is small but we didn’t find that to be a problem. Because of the prime location we had plenty of restaurants to order take out from. We loved eating dinner on the patio. It’s a great spot for a weekend of R&R.
