Property details

Occupancy # 4 Guests (Adults & kids) - Please note that the washer and dryer are out of service at this time. * 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 2025. Super-comfy with high thread-count linens and a private setting - 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, stovetop, 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: Wifi, Coffee maker, Lake access, Hair dryer 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.

we stayed for a long weekend and had a really good time. they don’t note this in the listing but there is a pool and a small little beach bar which was so fun! definitely worth checking out. there was no trash can tho so definitely bring some trashbags. they also didn’t offer any beach towels which was fine but just make sure you have some

It was a very nice place to stay. Very clean, and quiet. The beach was very close, and it was a great location for my event. I would definitely stay here again.
