About this property
East Bay Bliss - Beachfront Condo on East Grand Traverse Bay
Welcome to your private escape on the shores of East Grand Traverse Bay, where Northern Michigan reveals its most captivating colors.
Just outside Traverse City, this beachfront condo places you directly on one of the most coveted stretches of sugar-sand shoreline in the region, with water so clear and turquoise it rivals the Caribbean.
Step outside and you are instantly immersed in what makes this area extraordinary. A wide, deep private beach, reserved exclusively for guests offers room to spread out, unwind, and take in long, quiet mornings along the water. Spend your afternoons between the heated pool and hot tub, or simply settle into the rhythm of the bay as sailboats drift across the horizon.
Inside, the space is clean, modern, and intentionally relaxed. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz surfaces, and a functional island designed for gathering. The living area is comfortable and open, with a queen sleeper and large screen TV, while the bedroom offers a king bed and a second TV for quiet evenings after full days outdoors. The bathroom is spacious and thoughtfully finished with a walk-in shower and elevated fixtures.
But what truly sets this location apart is what surrounds you. You are minutes from the world-class Traverse City Horse Shows, making this an ideal retreat for riders, trainers, and families seeking a calm, waterfront reset after long days at the showgrounds.
Equally compelling is your access to the iconic Old Mission Peninsula, a 17-mile stretch of rolling vineyards framed by water on both sides. Within a short drive, you can experience renowned wineries such as:
This region is nationally recognized for its cool-climate wines, including Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, all shaped by the unique geography and lake influence.
Evenings here are something else entirely. Golden light settles over the bay, the air cools, and the pace slows in a way that feels rare and restorative.
Why guests choose this property:
● Direct access to one of the best private sandy beaches on East Bay ● Heated pool and hot tub for extended season enjoyment ● Close proximity to the Traverse City Horse Shows ● Minutes to Old Mission Peninsula wineries and scenic drives ● Easy access to downtown dining, shopping, and public beaches ● Easy drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore for incredible hikes and views
Guests have full access to the condo. Washer and dryer included for convenience that will come in handy after swimming on the tantalizing, sandy beaches all day and you want to wash your bathing suits.
Warmly,
Patty & Jim Aprea

A beautiful peaceful stay in a gorgeous location! The unit was clean, wonderfully decorated, and a perfect spot. We really appreciated the owner's communication and support during our stay. I loved being able to sit on the porch and read, and walk right out of the unit to swim. We loved it, and hopefully will be back soon!
The condo is just as pictured and clean. The owner was very easy & pleasant to deal with. We love the location. We already have reservations for next year.
Nice stay with direct access to beach. Ample parking and quick drive to downtown. The condo itself was comfortable and the cleanest property I’ve stayed in on vacation. One note for light sleepers, bring ear plugs, as you may hear guests walking above.
Beautiful condo with a wonderful view! Everything was great, kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of towels and blankets for everyone! Thanks for a great weekend!
The condo was clean and stocked with anything you may need! Great location with welcoming hosts. Loved the view and the beach! Being able to walk out the door and be right on the beach was so nice and relaxing. Would definitely stay again!
Great spot! Pictures are accurate. Place is clean and host was very responsive. Would definitely stay there again. Big bonus the beach was right outside! Great views too.
Everything matched the listing and other reviews perfectly. I had misplaced the check in code and the owners responded to my email within 10 minutes. Great stay!
The condo was in fantastic shape and very clean. It was bigger than it appeared in the photos and had plenty of room. The location on east bay is great and the beach is well maintained. Check in was easy and contactless, and the hosts were great! Overall we highly recommend staying here.
The condo was absolutely beautiful! The location was perfect! We had such a wonderful time and will be making this a yearly birthday trip! Thank you Patty and Jim for allowing us to stay at your place! It is perfect!

My husband and I stayed at this property celebrating our anniversary. This place is wonderful. Everything we needed and more was provided, so thoughtful! The property manager was very quick to respond. I stay at a fair number of hotels/VRBOs and the bed was by far the most comfortable I’ve stayed at, and the bedding and towels very soft. View and location on beach are amazing. Will definitely be back!!!!
The view is spectacular, would have been even better with warmer weather, but that's no fault of the owners. :) Fault of the state. The condo is adorable and updated and super clean. We will stay here again. Very welcoming. Easy access to the unit as well as perfectly positioned parking lot at a traffic light.
This is an interesting and enjoyable stay! First of all and most important, the owner, Patty was amazing with communication and responsiveness. We stayed for three days over Labor day weekend while hiking, winery visits, golfing that didn't happen during rain and geocaching. Patty's husband Jim came to help with t.v. issues while we were out for a day and when we came back, the issues were fixed. The great communication and responsiveness were the best part of the stay along with the well-decorated and well stocked unit. I enjoyed an evening on the back patio on our first night watching the sunset and the children playing on the beach. The king sized bed was very comfortable and the bathroom is huge! One thing that happened was a leak from the unit above us, but the owner was in constant contact with us and willing to come to fix the issue which wasn't their fault and was out of their control and refunded us some money for our inconvenience. We will chalk this incident up to a great story to tell in the future and a great experience with another VRBO owner. Thanks for the stay in your wonderful place!
This condo is in a great location and is close to so many things to do. We were just steps away from the beach and it’s very quiet and relaxing. The check-in and check-out process is a breeze.
We had a very enjoyable stay at this condo. Jim and Patty were wonderful to work with, and always got back to us in a timely manner with any questions we had. Hoping to visit again, soon!
