    Easy, simple check in / check out. Clean, comfortable, welcoming. View of beach and bay was nice. Well supplied of coffee, towels, soap, shampoo, etc. We enjoyed our stay and would book again. Welcoming bottle of sparkling wine was a very nice touch.

    Beautiful spot, wonderful location on the water and we loved sunsets from the balcony. The condo is very small and the location is a bit far from Traverse City but we knew that so not a big deal. Easy check in, easy access. Had some issues with the dryer not working and maintenance person never showed and condo wasn't well stocked. You also are not allowed to use the pool that is literally steps from your door so my daughter was upset.

    Property was just as described. Clean with basic kitchen items and enough clean towels for the stay. Great sunset views from balcony. Unfortunately only able to side water from kitchen table. Comfortable seating on bed and sofa had no water view.

    This unit has an outstanding view of the beach and the sunsets! The unit was very clean but the freezer compartment of the very small refrigerator was filled with ice. I tried to make some ice cubes with an ice cube tray but the water never froze at all. It was hot weather and we wanted ice cubes for our drinks but no luck. The whole refrigerator needs to be replaced.
