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 updated throughout and sits in a nest of trees with some beautiful glimpses of the bay. 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 3rd-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 Queen-size sleeper sofa Amenities: Coffee maker, BBQ, Bicycles 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.

This place was phenomenal. It was very clean great location and the host was very responsive and helpful. The only complaint is there was a lot of spiders outside of the place and even walking up the stairs. We had to actively look every time we went in or left. The place and host were still great.

The condo was a great location with beautiful view. Worked great for activities in and near Traverse. The only issue wa the fridge wasn’t super cold, and we could make or store any ice.

For the price it was worth it. The description was a little misleading (there was something about champagne being in the room but never got it. Didn’t really want it so I just thought it was funny) but all in all worth what was paid. The condo was well maintained but a more thorough cleaning would be better (not horrible but could have been better). Great place for location and would definitely stay again when I come back. Also, big shout out to the snow plow team. Got hit with several days of heavy snow but he was out every morning and kept everything clear.
