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. Our 1-bedroom condo at the shores is spacious and contemporary. Relax on the deck just a few steps from the beach and watch the waves from one of the most stunning views in the whole complex. A flat-screen TV (cable included) is in the unit, and a full bath with a vanity area is included. Kitchen with microwave, mini-fridge, dishwasher, stovetop, and coffee marker. This beautiful condo, bright and spacious, sits on Grand Traverse Bay amongst a setting of towering pines, a flowing stream, and a beautiful sandy beach. Our second-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. *Please note that some outdoor amenities are not available year-round due to Michigan weather. 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 sleeper sofa Amenities: Hair Dryer, Coffee Maker, Wifi, Lake Access 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 were very happy with our rental. It was in the perfect location! Absolutely beautiful scenery! Close to all kinds of activities. What I loved was how quiet it was.

The place was clean, and the location is perfect. However, we booked this place based on the fact that the listing said it had a pull out couch for our kids to sleep on. We were disappointed to arrive and find the pull out bed in the couch was broken and unusable. Other than that, the place is great

Property was beautiful. We did not have hot water for our first night which wasn’t great, but the host was responsive and did their best to help fix the problem. Place was comfortable, had everything we needed otherwise, and we enjoyed our stay.
