We are a 3 minute drive from the beach and in striking distance from Turtle Creek Casino! Guests will have full access to the house and patio. There is one locked closet where I keep some personal items and the garage is not for guest use. I will not be here. The door has a keypad lock. You will be provided with a code after you book. I am always available by email or text if you have any questions or concerns. The condo is near the Grand Traverse Resort which features a fantastic selection of boutique shops and fine dining. Beyond, the bustling downtown, scenic wineries, and sparkling of Northern Michigan are all just a short drive away. Lyft is in Northern Michigan Now!!! So is Uber! You have to have the apps for these ride sharing services to work. They are really affordable. The town also has a number of cab companies and shuttles: Cherry Capital Cab Taxi Service 3002 N Garfield Rd. and Brew Bus (Brewery/Winery tours) are two examples.
