Great location but truly needs updating
Very quiet location. It is clean. It's just you kind of get put off when you walk in and everything looks quite old and needing updating. The murphy bed was fine and I believe the couch with a pull out bed is newer. It's the stained bath matt, old stained glider chair, old carpet, old dusty blinds and very old small cabinetry in the kitchen area that makes you feel like you are staying in your grandmother's attic. Again, it's clean. Very nice clientele in the area. Owner is very nice!

Charming studio
Adorably charming studio condo with access to everything. Steps away from the beach and pool. Moments away from Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, as well as downtown. Perfect for a couple needing a romantic getaway.

Worked out great for what i needed.
Good location, nice view, well-stocked and very comfortable. Only issue was 3rd floor walk-up on move-in day. Being a single 70-yr old, who was staying for 3+ weeks, i had lots to haul in and out. After resting when move-in was finalized, i found stairs not to be an issue for me during my stay. Unit was clean, cozy, and quiet.

Great Stay
The property was beautifully decorated and quite comfortable. The only drawback was the 3 flights of stairs. We are older and moving in was tiring, however we got used to it and enjoyed it. For future reference you may want to leave detailed instructions on how to operate the tv. We had never seen anything like that having had Directv and cable. Otherwise a very comfortable stay!!

Great little place!
I will admit when we first arrived I thought the condo was way too small. But once we got settled, it was fine for just the 2 of us. It's very clean and well appointed. Our only complaint is that the mattress dipped a little in the middle. I do think it needs replaced.

Easy to find. Beautiful view. Clean interior. Good for 2 people.
The property is very nice and is perfect for two people to get away for the weekend. The drive isn't too long to downtown, and there are a lot of places to eat right around the condo! I would recommend this property!

Great First Experience with HomeAway
Let me start off by saying that Barry was excellent to deal with! It was our Anniversary weekend, and we unfortunately had a death in the family. Barry worked with us to make sure we could arrive later than expected, and he made extra accommodations to make sure we were happy with our stay. The property is in a great area, not far from downtown. It was very clean, and well maintained. The furniture in the living room has to be moved around in order to pull down the bed, but overall, it wasn't really an inconvenience. I only have 2 negative things to say, and Barry and his home, have nothing to do with them. First, the cleaning crews were clearly smoking pot outside on the balcony's while they were cleaning. It was a beautiful day, and I wanted to have the doorwall open, but the smell was too strong. Second, the spiders/webs outside are out of control. I feel like they could spend some money to have all the buildings sprayed. All in all, the visit was great! I would definitely consider it a destination to return to!

Very Nice Overall
Our unit was very clean and well furnished with everything we needed for a weeks stay. The furnishings themselves were a bit dated, especially the sofa. This was a small unit as was correctly described but we were well aware of that; enough room for 2 comfortably. The comfort of the Murphy bed was a surprise and a plus. We were initially skeptical of the bed but it was actually very nice to sleep on. Nice location, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Traverse City but close enough to easily go there when we wanted to. Close to grocery shopping. The owner kept in contact before and during the rental and was easy to communicate with. No complaints at all but perhaps the owner will replace the sofa soon as it was definitely more than well worn.

Great location on the beach!
We had a nice stay here and would definitely stay again. When we arrived the electric stove was not working, which was pretty inconvenient, but we contacted the owner and he took care of it right away. It was fixed late that night. We enjoyed sitting by the beach and rented paddleboards for an afternoon. The unit is very small, but had all the amenities we needed! We will be back!

Nice little home base in TC
Much smaller than we expected, but was fine for the two of us for just two nights. Everything was very clean and the studio had everything we needed to be comfortable. We also appreciated having access to Grand Traverse resort amenities across the street and being close to area attractions. The view of the East Bay was very nice as well. We'd definitely stay here again for a short stay. Note: this is a 3rd floor studio, so be prepared to climb a few flights of stairs.

great condo, location and Barry
My husband and I stayed at the condo for a long weekend. We had great experience. The condo was nice, clean and had everything we needed. The location was great too, just by the lake, close to Traverse City downtown. Barry was super nice, very responsive and had everything well organized. We definitely recommend this condo.
