East Bay Escape
Location and rooms perfect for our multi-generation group. Problems: too few forks, 3 of 4 trash bins completely full upon arrival, too few dishwasher pods, chairs in dining room need felt on the bottom (super noisy in the lower level when being moved), front storm door very squeaky/bangy especially when people are sleeping. Otherwise - great! Thank you!

Outstanding and unique
This is an outstanding and unique house and a lovely location, perfect for the 10 adults in our family from three states who vacationed there. The description of the house is correct and complete. We enjoyed it all: the upper and lower decks facing the beach, the porch, the open kitchen/dining area and the a/c. The bunk room has three double/single bunk beds plus a sofa bed. The house feels secluded down a long tree lined driveway. On the road, a few steps from the driveway, is a stop for the free bus to town. The hosts were especially responsive both before and during our stay. We highly recommend this listing.

One-of-a kind stay in Traverse City!
We had 7 adults and 4 kids under the age of 7 and the house was very accommodating. There were more amenities than we expected (beach toys, beach umbrella and greatly appreciated enough coffee for the week! Some guests felt it was too hot especially in bedrooms at night and wished they had the option of opening windows (no screens). Private beach is priceless! The entire house had nice modern cottage feel but the basement with all the bunk beds was certainly a highlight. More walkable area than we expected. Overall a wonderful experience.

Amazing!
My friends and I had a wonderful time at this property! It is so nice to have beachfront access and all of the rooms and spaces in the house were super appealing and clean and enjoyable! A great place to bring your friends or family as there is lots of space to spread out and lots of sleeping areas. We had so much fun and really enjoyed all of the amenities! It is on a busy street, but it is tucked away down the driveway, so it is perfect! Five stars!

Beautiful location
This is a beautiful home and we had the best time. Plenty of room and nice and clean. Only down fall on the trip was that when we booked this the listing showed as the house being more in the downtown area and the house is actually a 5-7 minute drive to downtown. Other than that great place to stay.

Amazing property
This property is in the heart of it all on the bay. You basically have your own private beach . Walking distance to restaurants, put put and grocery store. Perfect for an extended family get together with a room of bunks for all the children . I was hesitant to even review this because I want to stay here again and gate keep this awesome place to myself . Ten stars!

Family needed a place near Traverse City where 6 adults and 3 children could stay comfortably. This house fit the bill. Plenty of room, comfortable beds, and a great view of the bay. Property manager was responsive and took care of some icy steps right away. The baby gate, high chair, stroller, and pack’n’play were a big help

Awesome location in TC
We had a wonderful stay at East Bay Escape. Overall rating is a 5, but I rated the cleanliness as a 4 due to a pretty grimey shower curtain. Communication with the rental company was very easy and Troy was quick to respond. (Of note, he said housekeeping would take care of the shower curtain). The views and location are outstanding. This makes for a perfect getaway with friends/family in the Traverse City area.

Great location, can use some more cleaning
The location was unbeatable. There were plenty of beds for a large group. While there are only two showers, we were able to manage with 14 people. The only downfall is that after a night of rain, the entire house had a musty odor. There were also quite a few bugs inside the house on the main floor and in the basement bathroom.

Great Trip to Traverse City!
We just got back from a long weekend in Traverse City. The house was great all around. Great location, great setup, and plenty of room for our group of 9, as we could have fit more. We requested an early check-in, and the hosts were very accommodating to our request. We did not need anything additional from them on the rest of the trip, but they reached out to make sure that everything was going well, so we would have felt comfortable letting them know if there was anything that we did need! Would rent this location again for a future trip!

Great girls getaway
We rented for a quick girls getaway up north. The inside of the house was perfect for 10 woman. We loved having the open concept to cook, watch movies and all still be in the same room. Communication with the rental agency was great, when we needed something they were definitely on top of it. Would definitely stay again.

This rental was perfect for our girls trip! We had a large group and it still felt really spacious. But the real draw was the location. It was so wonderful to just walk out onto the sand and have a private beach! It was also close to downtown which made everything really accessible. All in all would love to come back!
