Beautiful and spacious home! Very comfortable, loved the decor, luxury bedding and blankets, fully stocked coffee bar, extra large fridge and freezer came in handy. We loved our stay here.

Beautiful and a great location! Easily fit 10! Would love to stay here again!- Anonymous , Posted: 10/25/2023
super clean, updated, well located house across the street from beach / lake and short walk to town. bit smaller than advertised. not sure how 10+ people would comfortably fit in house. we were just 4 people. as mentioned in description, house has no oven, but bbq outside. house sits on main road so expect car noise all day and night.- Anonymous , Posted: 10/7/2023Hey Jon, thank you for your feedback! We are happy you enjoyed the location of this home, as you can walk to so many things! The home can sleep up to 12 people with all beds, but we do advertise the kitchen as more of an efficiency kitchen.- Bayshore Vacation Rentals staff, Posted: 10/24/2023
House was exactly as described, and in a great location that made walking downtown easy. Having two full baths upstairs was awesome, and tons of full length mirrors if you have a large group of girls all getting ready. Outdoor seating area was great too. Perfect for a girls trip- Anonymous , Posted: 9/13/2023Hey Elizabeth, thank you so much for the kind review! We are so happy we were able to host you for your Traverse City Girls Trip! We hope to host you and your friends again in the future!- Bayshore Vacation Rentals staff, Posted: 10/2/2023

Beautiful, trendy home, very clean. Loved the back porch with lights strung. was perfect for our girls weekend. There is no oven, in the kitchen which was a slight inconvenience.- Anonymous , Posted: 5/30/2023

Would recommend not having more than 8 guests as the sleeping arrangements are misleading. The bunk room was almost like a closet. Location was great if you want to be close to downtown.- Anonymous , Posted: 10/9/2022
Phenomenal location that is within walking distance to everything. The patio is a great place to hang out and we had plenty of room for all of us. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a great place in TC.- Anonymous , Posted: 9/20/2022
Great location. Walk to everywhere. Nice decor. Wouldn’t like to have more than eight people staying- Anonymous , Posted: 9/18/2022
Very clean and utilized space well. One of the best locations, as we were walking distance (10-15 mins) from the downtown area. Highly recommend.- Anonymous , Posted: 8/30/2022

Greats location, near the beach and downtown! Very clean and organize house!- Anonymous , Posted: 8/22/2022
Amazing location!!- Anonymous , Posted: 8/11/2022
The house is pretty well decorated and according to description. The location is definitely top knotch. I will say the kitchen is incredibly small. 12 may be able to sleep here, but they can’t be fed. There were also a few areas that hadn’t been accessed, and therefore cleaned, in quite a while (mostly pull outs). Overall, the place got the job done for our group, but I wouldn’t consider it perfect.- Anonymous , Posted: 8/9/2022
loved it- Anonymous , Posted: 6/28/2022Thanks, Shannon! We're so glad to hear.- Bayshore Vacation Rentals staff, Posted: 7/14/2022
