Waterfront holiday rentals in Grand Traverse Bay

Great stay, cute place. I think it’s newer so everything was updated. Bed was comfortable. Just about all kitchen essentials to cook. The building was very unique and cool. It’s co-op, so eclectic variety of fun offerings. From entertainment to food. Restaurant was very good, coffee shop also nice. Close to front street and beach, but without the noise. Overall wonderful stay. Only complaint was they had bright lights everywhere in the apartment, think office lights, which gives some people (like myself) migraines. Thankfully there was one lamp in living room that was softer warm light which was used at night. Recommend introducing lights that aren’t the brightest available. Still, wonderful stay and highly recommend.

The Airbnb was beyond expectation. Absolutely stunning and a picture perfect location. This will be our go-to location whenever in the area. Thank you, Barry!

Wonderful place to stay off-season. Exactly what we were looking for. Very convenient and effortless check-in check-out.

My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

So fun for our family of 4. We enjoyed the lake and cozy accommodations. Can hear people walking and talking upstairs, which were used to and felt right at home. Thoughtful instructions made everything clear. All was spotless and clean. A real treasure!

My husband and I had such a relaxing stay at Linda's! We came for three nights for a family vacation and my sister and my mom both had separate AirBNBs in the same building. Linda's Condo was so nice. When they stopped in, they were so surprised at how nice and clean it was compared to theirs. Linda had all the amenities and was so communicative every step of the way. We loved the little touches she brought to help us have an amazing stay. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

Outstanding location for downtown activities in both directions on Front Street and visiting both peninsulas!

family had an amazing time and had lots of fun.

Fantastic home! We loved everything about this place. Lots of space for our family of six. House was clean, stocked with lots of amenities. Linens, towels, board games, books, kitchen supplies.. We loved the beautiful view, deck, fire pit, dock, paddle board and kayak. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

This house is just as promised in all the photos. A beautiful house with a gorgeous view. Kitchen was equipped with all you need to do cooking or dining in while staying. All the spaces were clean and tidy with all the little things thought of like little throw blankets in the living areas to use, to puzzles and family & group friendly games. The hot tub overlooking the private lake access was perfect to enjoy in the evenings. Also the location! Cant beat it, close enough to downtown Traverse City to enjoy all the shopping and restaurants but far enough up on the peninsula to be close to many wineries and the downtown Sutton Bay area. We would definitely recommend this house and will be back when were in the area again.

House location was 12/10. Couldn’t have asked for a better home base. Walking distance to trails and sits right on the lake. Kids loved playing in and on the water with the kayaks provided. Would highly recommend the home to family and friends and would stay here anytime our family returns to the area. House was as advertised and Joe was very responsive and offered local trails and areas to eat.

Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

Beautiful lakefront property. The host is very kind and always responsive. The host includes so many amenities letting you make the most of the ease of access to the lake. Plenty of space for a big family trip. The location is very close to Trevor City. Yuu are a little close to the road but that isn't too bad. I would definitely love to book again closer to summer. It was a little cold for water activites during our trip. the rooms are bigger than they look in the pictures which is really nice. I would definitely stay again.

This home was absolutely perfect for our lake getaway! Beautifully designed, incredibly clean, and stocked with everything we could have needed. The views were stunning and the location couldn’t have been better for a relaxing and comfortable stay. We truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches and would absolutely come back again. Highly recommend!

Gary was a great host. The home comfortably fit 2 adult couples for a long weekend stay. We are regular visitors to the area and the view is second to none. Bedrooms were comfy & kitchen was well stocked. Price was very reasonable for what the home had to offer. If I had a complaint it would be that it wasn’t the cleanest. I understand it’s up north & fall time but a simple sweep of the bugs at the front door and organizing the back patio would’ve helped. I also understand that the garage is normally used for storage but this particular weekend it wasn’t so it would’ve been nice to use all the amenities the home had to offer. With all that said I’d still rent from Gary as he was super responsive and helpful with any requests.

Overall very functional apartment for a couple in a desirable location. Very clean and decent amenities. Easy check in and check out. Comes with parking spot which is essential in that location. Fairly quiet. Door lock is somewhat finicky and took 2-3 tries to open door.

We had a great weekend. Space worked out perfectly and we were able to use the kayaks. They had everything you could want and more.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Mary was a very lovely host and was easy to contact and was quick to respond. You really couldn’t want anything more than this unit, you’re facing the lake, It’s quiet and has incredible sunrises. It’s really everything you need - especially for a couple. The kitchen was well equipped. Heat and AC, no problems. Everything was exceptionally clean!! I am really crazy about cleanliness and I can tell you I felt right at home here, I didn’t need to clean with my Clorox wipes to feel comfortable. You wouldn’t go wrong renting this unit. It was easy to get around from here we went to the tunnel of the trees, Mackinaw, Petoskey and Charlevoix and Harbor Springs. Lots of places to eat or you could stay at home and make dinner and use their grill. The grounds were very nice and very well kept! So what is my downside to this trip? Well the weather was too chilly, but I guess there’s no controlling that next time. I will know that this early in the season it’s a gamble on whether it will be wa

Great place! We loved the lake and the lake views. I also loved that there was a beach and pontoon boat rentals were on-site!

In our experience, it's always rare to find a place that lives up to the hype of the description, however in this case, The Nest exceeded the already great expectations as described. Sure, the photos do the best they can to capture the view that is afforded to guests, but walking into the living room and seeing the view is breathtaking. You'll quickly find yourself trying to decide between taking the time to explore the town of Frankfort (which is great), or spending all your time on the balcony taking in the views. It truly was a welcoming accommodation, and we felt at home immediately. Everything you need is available, and we were very surprised by how large the bedroom was. it was our first time to Northern Michigan, and we cannot wait to return. Charlie and Suzy's location will be the first place we check for availability when we do!

Great spot! Walkable to all of the best places downtown Traverse and the bay have to offer.

Forest’s condo. is a perfect haven for fun, relaxation and comfort. She is extremely responsive to questions and wants the renters to have a great experience. We look forward to going back!
