☀ Stunning Lake Views @ The Shores

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. 😌

The unit I stayed in needed some maintenance that had been neglected. Hole in wall next to fuse box, drapes in poor condition. Unit right over pool, not mentioned in description… rather loud. Half the view was pool house roof also not mentioned in description. Unit adequate, tv needed maintenance to operate. Good location

Nice view of bay just outside of TC
Great place for 1-2 people. Nice view of East Bay and close to Casino and Meijer. Close proximity for cross-country skiing trails. Very small refrigerator and no oven, but has microwave, DW, and small two-burner electric stove. Property manager Christian was quick to answer our questions. Would stay here again for weekend stay.

This was our 4’th yr. at The Shores. We came with our family and they rent two other condos. The grandkids love it, and we are making wonderful memories. We just wish the pool was open. Hope to come back again.

Disappointed
This is by far the least favorite rental I’ve had in over 10 years with VRBO. Our unit was not ready for check when they said it would be. It wasn’t even clean for the previous guess yet. There is some mold and dirt around the bathroom windows and grout, Woke up to gnats on several walls & windows, Outside was needing some work. door had paint chipping , spiderwebs , spiders, & spills on door . It’s listed as the first floor but it’s not really there’s about 10 steps going up to the unit and since I had a stroke and use a cane it was difficult for me to get in and out. Sent a text to the management and never heard back from them after talking with him a few times. Very disappointed.

We stayed for four nights and enjoyed our stay. There's no washer and dryer, which would be nice for folks staying for a longer period. The refrigerator is also small but adequate for short stays, particularly if you are planning on eating meals out. The kitchen was well stocked with flatware, plates, bowls, cups, etc.

Beautiful location. Management inaccessible.
The view is worth the rental and it was clean and well decorated. The kitchen needs a better wine opener but is otherwise appropriately stocked for a kitchenette. The bathroom needed more towels and especially dark towels for makeup because the management specified that we should only use dark towels for makeup removal or risk being charged replacement cost. There was only a single dark washcloth for 3 days and two females. The toilet tank had a slow leak resulting in constant refilling noise. The pull out couch could not be used as a bed because it was broken on one end and would not lay flat. I messaged the owner twice about these issues and never received feedback. The only messages I received seemed automated and generic like “welcome” and “please leave 5 stars”. There was no blanket to use on the pull out even if it worked. The pillows smelled of strong perfume perhaps from the last guest or the person who cleaned. And the televisions seemed to have only a few channels though we really only checked them one time. Parking was easy. Location was convenient. Beach was great. Neighbors were great.

Great stay for 2
Wonderful place in a gorgeous location! My husband, 12 year old, and I loved waking up to a beautiful view of the bay every morning and watching the sunset every night. The queen bed was very comfortable, however the pull out bed was not the best. The head of the pullout tilted down at a 45 degree angle and the middle was quite uncomfortable - would not recommend for anyone other than a child. The dishwasher was broken and replaced the day after reporting it, however communication with the property management company was a bit delayed and unclear at times. Plenty of parking near the condo and swimming at the private beach was great.

Perfect
Spacious and clean with a delightful view of the lake. The main bed was very comfy. The sleeper couch was not comfortable but it was large enough for 2. The only negative was the guys on atvs woke us up bright an early to get the beach ready for the day but it wasn’t a bad thing just something to be aware of. Large deck patio. We wish the pool would have been open and heated. Overall it was perfect for our needs and I would recommend this place.

The property was fine. Too bad that pool and grill not open but, we do understand that staffing probably isn’t the greatest right now. I would suggest more than one towel per person in the bathroom as well. Refrigerator is very small. Overall good for a short stay.
