"This house was perhaps the best appointed house we've ever stayed in. It had everything we wanted from blender to bug spray and a ton in between. Only regret is that it is located on a busy main street and you can periodically hear the passing cars; otherwise, it's perfect and the hosts could not have been more responsive to our needs."
"We came to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary and loved the Sunset condo and the attention to detail that went into furnishing it. We cooked our own food mostly and everything we needed was provided and was of very good quality down to the silverware. The bed was so comfortable.

"Wonderful place. Fit our family of 5 perfect. Warm shallow water of Glen Lake was great for the kids. Excellent location as well. Under 10minute drive to the beach, Sleeping Bear Dunes and downtown Glen Arbor. Highly recommend this property. We will definitely try and come back to this hidden gem!"
"We loved this cottage! The house was fully stocked with everything you need. My kids loved the large yard and lake access. I loved being able to jump right on Alligator Hill Trail almost right from the house."

"Lovely spot, beautiful comfortable home. Some of the basic info needs updating so as not to be confusing/conflicting (strip beds/don’t strip beds? lock box/no code) and better communication with local office when questions arise (electronic lock issues). Otherwise fabulous."

Breakfast could have been better. "
A verified traveller stayed at Grand Beach Resort Hotel
"On east bay. Traverse has major construction and the hotel offers free shuttle service drop off pick up all over! Huge perk. No toiletries in room so pack ur own. Clean. Staff are very helpful. My room was as pictured. Few restaurants walkable, shuttle drives you to downtown area for more selection. "

"Beautiful hotel and location. The construction made it hard, but not the hotel’s fault. My only suggestion would be to keep the restaurant and bar open later. "
