#### Quiet place to relax

This quiet condo is a good place to unwind outside of TC. We had no issues with anything while staying there. It's easy to find and easy to come and go. The price is right and the amenities are good. Parking is excellent. The newer laminate in the kitchenette is nice. Bed is comfortable and towels are nice and fluffy. The beach is convenient and has plenty of space for people to enjoy. Overall it's a good place to land. We enjoyed the quiet space.

The condo was clean, comfortable and met all of our expectations. We were especially pleased with the communication from the host in dealing with a maintenance issue.

Place was good, but so dry. Older place but bed was very good. Tea pot and electric tea pot are old and chipping so don't use them. Beach was nice but no chairs when we went, maybe since it was October

Good location for beach access and to central for most restaurants and "things to do". Well Managed and great hospitality. Would recommend to anyone that's visiting TC for the first time.

#### 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!

#### 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.

#### Could be better

The location was nice with the beach. 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.

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.

#### 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.

#### Great location, a little tight for 4 but we managed

The place is super cute clean and awesome location- there were 2 adults and 2 20+ year olds that had to sleep on the hide a bed - bedroom bed very comfortable, hide.a Bed not so much - that needs a new mattress - and the pool is not available to guests but the beach is great!!!!

#### 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!
