Quiet little jewel-box type nest

I thoroughly enjoyed spending a week here. It was quiet, but close enough to a main road to get anywhere I wanted to go pretty quickly. The way the buildings are set up, the view out the door-walls was pretty much trees, which was very nice. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area!

Nice place to stay

Overall this was a nice place to stay. The pool was closed which was very disappointing but it was not one of the amenities listed so not the owners fault. If weather is really hot the a/c is not quite up to the task. Refrigerator leaks, but it works. Place was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Great beach!

Beautiful space in a great location

Great for a small annual girls trip to Traverse. The condo was clean, and communication with the property manager was very pleasant and accommodating. The condo was even filled with “extras” in case someone forgot to pack their own. Short walk to the beach where you can check out a sunset and relax by the water. Out of the hustle and bustle of downtown TC yet close enough to drive in. I would highly recommend this rental: comfortable, clean, updated, and convenient location to either stay in or head out to all the area’s attractions. Great experience!

Wonderful and quiet unit in a great location, right on the water!

We had a great time exploring TC -- this unit was a nice top corner unit which meant quiet evenings and nobody stomping around on top of you. The Shores is located right on a beautiful little beach, and a quick drive to the downtown area. We enjoyed touring wineries as well as Sleeping Bear Dunes, and found this location to be a great value for the price and location. The unit had everything we needed (four adults comfortably stayed two nights), and even extra bedding/linens. Would definitely stay again! Kyle was quick to respond to any inquiries, and a pleasure to book with. Thank you so much!

Rented Condo

Rented a condo thinking of thinking I was going to be able to cook my own meals for the week I would be there. NOPE, only 1 burner worked (smaller front one) and the high powered microwave was also broken, no oven and only a dorm sized fridge. But what made it worse was the cleanliness of the kitchen area, trying to open cupboards and drawers you could feel the grim and see the build up. VERY DISSAPOINTING! Thank Heaven there was a grow store so close, was able to get some disinfecting wipes, all the plastic products I would need to eat/drink from. Hoping this room gets some serious attention and updating over the winter season. Location is perfect, short walk to the beach, beautiful sunsets, peaceful area. I come to the area at least twice yearly for work, hoping to try the area again or continue looking for that perfect fit.
