Well Managed and great hospitality. Would recommend to anyone that's visiting TC for the first time. ##### Peter P. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily C. 23 Jan 2024 #### 5 Stars The access to the lake was as advertised and perfect for our stay and used it everyday over our stay. Will Come again! ##### Emily C. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura H. 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, Peaceful setting We really enjoyed our stay. The Bay and lakes there couldn't be any prettier. I was under the impression each unit had a bay view. Our unit had a garden view. It was still very pretty. I didn't specifically ask. Everyone there is super friendly and accommodating and the cool clean air and water are refreshing. It's very humid where I live. I definitely recommend it! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a4831dc0-394f-49b7-b68f-9bda5eebcfcc-1753051576142.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79fd0f43-9585-4c57-8aa2-5feba771591d-1753051566473.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98424a7c-13b1-4d2f-accb-2713f20c3332-1753051575119.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/891c2758-0a5d-4b75-bb1a-efaf65178515-1753051575396.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Laura H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### BRIGITTE N. 17 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Grand Traverse Bay Condo Stay good location, just outside of town. Nice facility, but not a beach front condo. We were in building 8 which is in the woods, a short distance from beach. Pool and beach area was nice. Had issues with the thermostat, call center was responsive but it took 3 of our 4 day stay to resolve. Also had issue with the dishwasher. It was filled with stinky water and when we tried to run it (as per the rental agreement) the water leaked onto the floor. This was not resolved during our stay. Overall, we would stay here again. ##### BRIGITTE N.

There's a little beach park and playground right next door. We had no problem using all of the amenities and pool at Grand Traverse, which was a nice perk. ##### Sarah R.

The cleanliness of the condo was not the best. The carpet had stains along with the blue chair appeared dirty and worn out. The bed was extremely uncomfortable but we made due. I would definitely stay in the area again but not with this condo/complex. ##### Timothy H.

Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### John 22 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I like the condo. The only problem I had was with the kitchen table and a very small living room chair. I am a tall guy and my knees would not fit under part of the kitchen table. Living room chair is way too small. The condo was very clean and nice. ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kris N. 19 Apr 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### After hours fill-in support was the shining spot The room that was booked was a total disaster, dirty bed, dirty bath room, full dishwasher, terrible smell. The communication prior to getting to the location was terrible, no response, had no idea how to check-in let alone get into the room. I had to call the office after hours and luckily I reached a person that was extremely helpful. That person got me changed into a more acceptable unit, although she did not know where it was in the complex so i had to drive around searching in the dark for it. I sent follow up emails after my stay and got no response to my complaints. I would not recommend staying at a property that is run by this management company. ##### Kris N.

Host communicated and was prompt in responding. Place was cute and right outside of Traverse City making it easy to get to downtown and other surrounding places. Everything we needed was provided and available! Definitely would book again! ##### Jesse K.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie C. 3 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible Location, Exactly as Described Check-in was a breeze, it’s a nice benefit to not have to deal with any physical keys. The access to a private beach is a huge plus! The outdoor pool was completely closed to everyone, so at least I didn’t have to explain to the small kids in my family why we weren’t able to use it. I think it’s important to know that the fridge isn’t full-size and there is no oven, but it does allow for there to be slightly more counter space. The kitchen was otherwise well-equipped. Thank you! ##### Jamie C. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels in Havant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havant-Hotels.d4651.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Quite Cottage on Private Lake w/Fishing Boat Included!](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delton-Hotels-Quite-Cottage-On-Private-Lake-Wfishing-Boat-Included.h28840021.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Sutton Coldfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sutton-Coldfield-Hotels.d4784.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Mana Island Resort & Spa - Fiji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mana-Island-Hotels-Mana-Island-Resort-Spa.h2188393.Hotel-Information) > - [Felbridge Gatwick Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Grinstead-Hotels-Elite-Venue-Selection-Felbridge-Gatwick.h16173617.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Oran](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oran-Hotels.d6323100.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Lyon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Exupery-Airport-Hotels.0-aLYS-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Bay Pointe Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalamazoo-Hotels-Bay-Pointe-Inn.h7332114.Hotel-Information) > - [Aparthotels Portland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Apart-Hotels.d178299-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Rovaniemi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d3059-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [The Avenue Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Avenue-Lodge.h19899020.Hotel-Information) > - [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Poznan County](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Poznan-County-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d553248635544282997-tGayFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Bexleyheath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bexleyheath-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d182452-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [freetobook Hotels in Great Britain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Britain-Hotels-Freetobook.0-0-d553248623451644244--bFreetobook.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > - [Flights from Spata-Artemida (ATH) to Liverpool (LPL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ath/lpl/athens-to-liverpool) > - [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Phnom Penh (PNH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/pnh/manchester-to-phnom-penh) ### Cars > - [Hertz Car Rentals In Ibiza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Ibiza.d5915209-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > - [Things to do in ArgelΓ¨s-sur-Mer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Argeles-Sur-Mer.d5838.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > - [Bavarian Forest National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bavarian-Forest-National-Park-Bavaria.d6107392.Attraction) > - [Udawalawe National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udawalawe-National-Park-Sri-Lanka.d6348743.Attraction) > - [Portree Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portree-Harbour-Portree-Town.d6168062.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ---
