Enjoy breathtaking sunsets on the 600ft sandy beach of East Grand Traverse Bay with a natural wooded setting. This gorgeous studio condo at The Shores was newly renovated and upgraded throughout. Super-comfy with high thread-count linens and a retreat atmosphere - it is the perfect nest and springboard for your Up North fun and adventures. Lovely cedar deck to enjoy the water view. Flat-screen TV (cable included) and Wi-Fi. Full bath with vanity area. Kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, stove top, panini grill, blender, coffee maker, and electric kettle. Overlooking Grand Traverse Bay in a setting of towering pines, a flowing stream, and a beautiful sandy beach. Our ground-floor condo is located on East Grand Traverse Bay at the intersection of US31 and M72.
Pool access: This is a wonderful location regardless, however frustrating for all involved; this past year, the Resort that owns the pool put some strict policies in place only allowing guests that book directly through them or use it - even we as owners can't use it. That said, the beach is gorgeous, but they also host weddings there sometimes - however, you can walk along the beach to the left, and it extends to a public beach which is lovely too, and you'll always have access there.
There is one little semi-workaround if you really want a pool; you can book a spa treatment at the Grand Traverse Resort, and you'll receive access to the pool and facilities for the rest of the day. Just request the code to access the pool/locker rooms, and you'll be able to use their indoor pool, indoor/outdoor hot tubs, tennis courts, etc.
You also already have access to their shops, restaurants, and golf.

Great location for our needs and very comfortable
Good location…comfortable stay!
Disappointed in the cleanliness and Christian the property manager never responded or answered questions. Even after check out I still never heard from him. Just noticed a week later my deposit was not refunded. Reached out again and still nothing. Do not recommmend!
Picture of property is not what property looked like.
The unit was not thoroughly clean. There was visible dust on the furniture, crumbs on the couch, cobwebs and dead bugs over the front entry. The counters, sinks, linens, and toilet all appeared clean but the visible dirt made us question everything. The management company promptly found another unit for us to use during our stay.
Very nice studio condo perfect size for a couple. Some nice updates, and location is great with beach right outside the deck.
The location was the perfect spot to call home as we ventured out on daily trips to Sutton's Bay, Charlevoix, Petoskey and the UP. But we didn't have to travel more than a few steps to the beach each evening to enjoy the beautiful sunsets on Grand Traverse Bay.
Took vacation day to arrive early. Paid for early check in (2pm)Arrived at dirty condo. Called property manager. He said cleaning crew is on the way. 4 o’clock no one arrived. No call or anything. Note: Had pregnant wife and two kids just sitting in car for hours just waiting. Ended up checking in at 6 pm. Missed even dinner. Next day apartment upstairs had our clothes ruined due to ash and cigarette burns which were drying on the patio. Oh… and property manager offered me “Partial cleaning fee removed” due to all the check in issue. Just unbelievably by far the worst experience
Relaxing stay in great location away from hustle and bustle of Traverse City. Condo was clean and well stocked. Beach and surroundings were beautiful. Will stay again!
Stayed here from June 19-23 2020. Property was smaller than expected, but had everything we needed. Very comfortable. Owner very responsive to all inquiries in an incredibly timely fashion. We left the property clean, but have yet to receive our deposit back. (4 days later). Not a bad drive to TC, and beach was nice. Pool and beach club closed (no fault to property owner- Pandemic and all). I imagine that if all activities were going on it would have been a much livelier atmosphere. There’s a fire pit on the beach, as well.
The Lake, beach, and pool access right across the footbridge was great! This unit has a private little patio out the sliding doors, unlike many of the other units that share a patio with your neighbor. Unfortunately, we found the AC was not working correctly. However, the owner went above and beyond our expectations. He was easy to contact and he even brought over a fan to help make us more comfortable. The very next day he had someone out and the AC was repaired. We we very happy with his timely response to our problem with the unit. Only two things that could make our stay better: The refrigerator is super tiny and had a non functional / frozen solid ice maker. Also, there is no way to dry wet beach towels and swim suits. Would be nice if there was a coin operated dryer in the complex we could use. Other than that the place is great and the owner is fantastic.
