Beautiful home with beachfront location. Prelude bay was calm and sandy with great views. The stay had everything I could think of for my family. Enjoyed the outdoor grill, the kitchen, the patio, and the beach. Would definitely rebook for a future vacation. Would strongly recommend if looking for private, beach front property with amenities!

Great place to stay for a week long getaway. Very clean and quiet home. The beach was perfect, got some amazing sunset photos off the back deck every night. Easy drive to Glen Arbor and Traverse City.
