Property details

Occupancy # 4 Guests (Adults & kids) * We have lots of other properties in the area - check the link to see our inventory! https://thetruenorthproperty.com/ * 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. The kitchen has a 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. 😌 Includes: • Smart TVs with Netflix and other streaming platforms • Free parking ​​​​​​​Bed types: o First bedroom: 1 Queen-size bed o 1 Queen-size pull-out sleeper sofa Amenities: Coffee maker, Hair Dryer, Wifi Complimentary with every True North reservation: ⋆ 1 x Bottle of Chateau Chantal Celebrate Champagne ⋆ Complimentary Gym Access @ The Gym - Traverse City ⋆ Your VIP Concierge - Private VIP services are available at your home. ⋆ VIP Concierge Services: * Private Chefs * Photographers * Event Planners * Private Masseuse Exclusive True North Benefits: ⋆ 30% off Flight/Glass Reservations & Bottles to take home @ Chateau Chantal Winery ⋆ 10% off Wine Tours with The Magic Shuttle Bus - some dates and exclusions may apply ⋆ $75 off per day on Boat Rentals & Delivery @ Tommy's Boat Rentals ⋆ 10% off Kayak, Bike, SUP Rentals & Tours @ Paddle TC ⋆ 15% off Hot Yoga packages - Includes: Regular 5-class card and drop-ins @ Original Hot Yoga ⋆ $5 off $50 purchase @ Edson Farms Natural Food Market ⋆ 10% off Smoothies & Smoothie Bowls @ Playa Bowls ⋆ BOGO (buy one, get one) on any Burrito or Bowl Fantastic Tacos @ DreLoco Tacos ⋆ Buy any DAMMM GOOD MAIN, DAMMM GOOD BURGER, or CRAFTED SANDWICH, and receive free BAR SNACK | Craft Beer & Delicious Craft Bar Food @ The Foundry - Elk Rapids or East Jordan Short stays, weekly and monthly are available.

The unit looked the same as picture. Easy access to the beach. Kitchen is equipped with all tools, like the big bowl & toaster. Two recommendations to make the unit get 5 stars: because the closet is very small, the 2nd suitecase chair should be added. A rod for hanging the clothe hangers in the tiny closet should be installed
