Spectacular sunset views overlooking the beach & east bay! New Westin mattress!

Make yourself at home and relax at this completely renovated and newly furnished studio condo located at Grand Traverse Resort’s beach club “The Shores." New Westin Heavenly bed purchased in 2022. All new 100% bamboo sheets and new towels. Toiletries, cleaning supplies and laundry detergent and soften are cruelty free and as environmentally friendly as possible. Only 7 miles from downtown Traverse City and close to everything the area has to offer. All of this yet once you arrive you feel far away from the hustle and bustle and have peace and tranquillity on the grounds. This condo is waterfront as it’s located in the building closest to the water and is also considered beachfront! Being on the third floor it still offers some privacy as you’re far enough away from the beach goers and people walking past.

Located on East Grand Traverse Bay, just minutes from downtown Traverse City, this suite is a water and beach lover’s dream. Jet ski, paddle board and boat rentals are on site and available to rent through Blue Sky Rentals.

Three world-class championship golf courses are less than ½ mile away at the Grand Traverse Resort.

40 miles away from Sleeping Bear Dunes, named by Good Morning America as "The Most Beautiful Place in America" in 2011.

Less than 10 miles from downtown Traverse City, named the #1 thing to do by TripAdvisor.

The Village at Grand Traverse Commons - a Historic 1884 hospital complex now a sprawling shopping & dining spot with arboretum & hiking is located 10 miles from our condo.

Additional beach area (Acme park) is right next to the condo complex offers:
* picnic areas
* playground
* grills

Only guests of Grand Traverse Resort have access to their amenities.

Great Get Away
My husband and I love the Traverse City area and we love that this condo is just a short drive away from there. Even in the cooler temperatures, we were able to enjoy the water views, roam the beach nearby, and cozy up in the condo to keep warm.

Anniversary Weekend On Grand Traverse Bay
This is our 3rd time renting from Dawn this year, and the studio condo was great. The condo has just enough space for a couple, and the kitchenette provides a little something extra over a standard hotel room. Not to mention the views! My husband and I love coming up to the Traverse City area, and staying at The Shores condos is very convenient with lots of amenitiies included with the resort. Thank you Dawn for a relaxing anniversary getaway.

Great long weekend getaway
View from the patio is gorgeous! We really enjoyed sitting outside for morning coffee. The condo has everything you need for a short stay. If you were staying for a long time or if the weather was bad, it might feel cramped, especially for more than 2 people. Pool was closed during our stay but this didn't bother us. We noticed the previously mentioned issues with spiders/bugs but only around the front door and stairwells (none in the condo!) - it appears the complex leaves all the outdoor lights on so I don't think it's possible to avoid some bugs this time of year. Overall, a nice weekend getaway

Fantastic property
This condo is the perfect place to stay for a couple! It has great views, bed and shower. Dawn and Lisette were extremely attentive in every respect. Everything you could need is in it from cooking supplies to extras like coffee, cream, various spices, toiletries and a full washer and dryer with supplies. The beach is perfect and not crowded since it is private property for the condo residents only. The only downside, which has nothing to do with the condo, is the live music on Friday night. It was not something we enjoyed, since we came to be in nature and enjoy outside, not hear someone sing. We would stay again without a doubt, we would just bring ear plugs! Lol 🙂

Beautiful location and view on the lake! Pool and hot tub next to the beach too!
The inside is very nicely decorated and perfect for two adults. It has a mini fridge and washer/dryer too. One thing that we didn’t like: On Friday night and Saturday morning, we could hear the lady next door speaking on her phone. We figured out that there is a door behind the washer and dryer that connects/leads to the place next door. When I stood in that area, I could hear the phone conversation clearly (lady was a loud talker). It was not as bad once I moved away, but we could still hear it through that door from our room. Fortunately, it was quiet other than those two times that was maybe 5-10 minutes each. We could not get the coffee machine to work, so that was a minor bummer since we enjoy a cup of coffee in the mornings. For the people who like casino’s, turtle creek is a straight shot and only a four mile drive. Overall, it is a nice place to visit and stay.

Perfect Fall Getaway with Gorgeous View
Needed a place to stay for just one night and this condo gave us a perfect little haven. So clean and well appointed amenities. And the view was spectacular with the fall colors. Only regret was not being able to stay a few more days to enjoy this special place. Thank you!

A real gem
We had a wonderful time during our stay with the only regret being we didn't book a longer stay. Our host was outstanding and contributed to the overall experience. This is our new go-to place and we will be back soon.
