    Paid extra to check in early but cleaning lady was not made aware of our early arrival by North property management. Cleaning lady did a great job in getting our rooms ready asap and kept apologizing to us even though it wasn’t her fault. PLEASE get better toilet paper- it is the worst!!!

    Beautiful condo. Appears brand new. Like that it requires a code to get in the building. Easy access to downtown. Would definitely stay here again.

    The location is wonderful, walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Parking is a little tight in the lot if you have a bigger vehicle but there is additional parking in the street in front. The kitchen could use a few more utensils such as a whisk and tongs but we were able to improvise with what was there. I would also maybe suggest a few kid friendly plastic cups and bowls, small and large. Other than that we had a wonderful stay, looking forward to staying again and would highly recommend.

    This property is beautiful. There is a nice view from each porch that is somewhat obstructed ( can still see the water) by the trees but still lovely. The size of the place is quite large making is very comfortable for our party of 4 adults. There is a TV in the master but not in the 2nd bedroom. The bathrooms were nice, the robes were a nice touch. Nicely appointment kitchen. The location was very convenient to downtown and to the tart trail. There is construction on the road in front of the property but that should be finished soon. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we’d come back again.

    Loved the place and location. Parking was a bit tricky as others don’t park well and took up extra space which didn’t allow us to park in our space. Also I know there as a cleaning fee so was surprised that we had to start laundry, dishwasher and take the trash out

    What a wonderful trip. Our condo was perfect and the location great. We enjoyed going up old mission peninsula to the light house and wineries. Another day going up to grand traverse light house and stopping at all of the cute towns along the way ( a stop in fish town is a must). Our final day was spent e biking along the heritage trail from Glen harbor to empire. Stop at the dunes for a climb too. All in all we will be back bc we lived michigan!

    We really loved the unit. Clean, updated, roomy. Couldn't be better. But...we thought we booked a penthouse. That is the actual description of the unit, and the photos show a clear view of the lake. The photos are not quite accurate. There was a view of the lake, but it was partially obscured by a huge tree. We were on the 3rd floor and the floor above us was the actual penthouse. People up there were often quiet...but not always, which is why we wanted the top floor. Until one arrives, one doesn't know that floor 3 is not the top floor. So we want to come back, but these folks should advertise accurately. It is a good unit on its own. But we just felt a bit deceived.

    Large, clean, bright, beautiful and quiet/private space with a great view of the bay. Very easy access. A lot of building and road construction upgrades being done in the area while still maintaining some of the neighborhood/local feel. Definitely would stay again.

    Check in is easy and the location was great! Room shades were not very dark and the walls were thin, so the bedroom got bright and loud (being on a busy road) early in the morning, about 6 AM. There were earplugs available, though. We did not have our bottle of complimentary wine, but requested it and it was promptly delivered. The condo was very clean and the table was set beautifully. There were several checkout requests, which might be common with other VRBO properties, but I was not expecting because of the amount of cleaning fees charged. We were asked to strip the beds, start laundry, start the dishwasher and take out the trash. Loved the location!
