night sky

I was satisfied with the general property. Upon arrival, the service person was not friendly. Of course, I wanted to put my feet in the water, the hose to rinse off was turned off. My balcony and chairs were splattered with bug remains and green algae. The bed was very comfortable. I to make my own ice. 4 coffee cups, instead of 2 would have been a bonus. The outdoor seating was great, They clean the beach every morning. I couldn't hear the lake due to the traffic. The outdoor security lights were bright, so much for looking at the lake from the balcony.

Hello Jody, thank you for the review condo unit 208. Not sure who you mean by "service person" since we do not have one? This time of year we have the sprinkler system drained and the foot washer is part of that process. The bed was brand new last year, sorry it wasn't to your liking! We would look to see you return, please feel free to check our website or call us directly for your next reservation. Thank you, Scott.

A Room with a View

It was a great place. Very nice modern, clean, fully stocked with kitchen things, as well as bedding and towels. My one complaint, it was tiny for the price. Hotel rooms are only slightly smaller. For one or two people, not so bad but we were 3, 2 adults and 1 teenager. Kinda too small. Very narrow hall. That is hard to gather from the pictures. Other than that it was great. Loved the balcony and the view.

Beautiful view

Family annual vacation. This condo is small. Ok for the two of us. Had everything we needed for a long weekend. The view from the balcony is beautiful....but the balcony needed major cleaning, very moldy. Building is well maintained, felt very safe. The room was noisy due to the renters above us. Great little beach just outside. Nice deck by the water. We would definitely stay at North Shore again.

Traverse City Stay

Review by Linda C.
Enjoy our stay and the unit. The kitchen was not as well stocked and had fewer utensils and dishes than expected--particularly bowls and mugs.

Nice

Review by Greg S.
Great location, the bed is very comfortable.Some of the furniture isn't super comfortable, but is OK, it's clean and the kitchen is functional, although some of the pots/pans could be replaced. Very good communication!

Nice little condo

Review by Tara P.
We were happy with our stay other than the fact it was impossible to find an Uber. Luckily we found a man that runs a taxi company to pick us up and take us home. The condo was clean and the sheets smelled amazing! We had a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. My favorite part was the friendly ducks on the beach(p.s. you are not supposed to feed them). We had the pool outside also which was nice. I would recommend for a quick weekend trip. We had 3 girls.

A four day escape to Traverse City

The condo was just as shown on their website, the view was great and we were pleased with the accommodations.This was just what we needed! The area has so much to offer, and we took advantage by visiting some wineries, the scenery and some very nice restaurants.

Review by Mona P.
We love the space, the amenities, the view, etc. It was a great experience overall. We did have to ask for extra towels since we kept getting less than our party of 4. Not a huge issue, but something to work on. Only other comment is the bedroom could use a heavier blind or shade or curtain. The night light on the porch lit up the room most of the night and was a bit disturbing.

Hi Mona, thank you for the 5 star rating!! We appreciate all of your concerns and I will address the the blind issues and the shortage of towels. We are glad that you were able to enjoy the views of East bay, Traverse City is a wonderful place to vacation and we hope to see you again in the future!! Kindly, Autumn, NSI Staff

Wine Tasting Week End

Review by Julie O.
Nice clean place to stay. Close to a lot of the wineries. I would suggest that the owner change the blinds in the bedroom to room darkening shade as it was very bright in the room to sleep.

Hi Ron, Thanks for your feedback. We're happy to report your feedback about the lights has been acted on. We are installing a dimmer switch so later at night the lights will dim. - North Shore Inn Mgmt.

Fourth Year, Love it!

Review by Shawn V.
The vacation rental was very nice but it is obvious that it is under new management. The housekeeping needs a little bit of improvement. I had to always go get fresh towels and the bed was made minimally. As for the staff, location and beach, I love it. the pool heater was broken but I know that kind of stuff happens. Hopefully, next summer it will be fixed. We already booked for next year, in hopes that these changes will improve.

Girls Weekend

Review by Laurel T.
Our weekend was a girls weekend. Our room was very clean and comfortable with a kitchen that had everything you would need if you plan to cook. The front desk was very helpful from getting a cab to recommending lunch and dinner spots.
