Beachfront vacation rentals in Elk Rapids

This is the place to stay if you want to be by Traverse City and still have great privacy and a beautiful home in the middle of God's country! You will not regret a trip to this place! Amazing!!

We had an amazing stay in an absolutely beautiful location. Shawn was an amazing host that went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure our stay was exceptional!

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

My family felt right at home in this cozy cabin. We lived that it had water views, communal spaces to enjoy, and the amenities that made our stay more comfortable. It was great that our pup could join in the fun too. Hosts were great communicators, and addressed our needs promptly.

Super cute and cozy cabin that was perfect for our group of 6 while we were in town for the Bayshore Marathon. We enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautifully decorated home and for your quick response to our questions.

Gary was a great host. The home comfortably fit 2 adult couples for a long weekend stay. We are regular visitors to the area and the view is second to none. Bedrooms were comfy & kitchen was well stocked. Price was very reasonable for what the home had to offer. If I had a complaint it would be that it wasn’t the cleanest. I understand it’s up north & fall time but a simple sweep of the bugs at the front door and organizing the back patio would’ve helped. I also understand that the garage is normally used for storage but this particular weekend it wasn’t so it would’ve been nice to use all the amenities the home had to offer. With all that said I’d still rent from Gary as he was super responsive and helpful with any requests.

The property at Boyne is a classic and has maintained a warm place in our memories which we have returned to decades ago after decades. There is history and seasoning in everything which has traveled and joined in our time and hopes every time we attend.

Beach Bliss was a perfect get away with gorgeous views! The unit was very clean and inviting. Dandan was very attentive with any questions we may have had. I would highly recommend her place.

We love the Gaylord area! Reasonable distance to Mackinac Island and all the wonderful places and beautiful wildlife.

As always, Shanty Creek did not disappoint! The view was spectacular, with full fall colors popping! We got to walk the Legend golf course several times, and the colors were amazing on that, too. This unit is cozy and absolutely perfect for a couple getting away for a few days. We would definitely return to this unit any time of year!

This was our first trip with our 4 young adult children, their spouses, & our grand baby's 1st vacation. Absolutely thoughtful and intentional details to make our stay fun and cozy: yard games, kayaks, beach lounge chairs, fire pit and Adirondack chairs, cozy blankets to snuggle on the sofas, and spacious property allowed us to have privacy yet spend special time together. Also, the dining for 10 was just perfect with all the kitchen appliances and supplies to make special home cooked meal.

Holly communicated very well and answered questions very quickly. The home is beautiful and clean. Outside wild turkey and around 10 deer ran through to the valley below. It’s close to the shops and the lodge. We walked to dinner and drinks. I would definitely book again and would recommend this place and Holly!!! Thank you for a great place to stay over the weekend!!!

Michael place was great! He also very accommodating with a last minute booking and changes.

Beautiful condo, looks just like the listing with amazing unobstructed views of Lake Michigan. Lovely hosts, easy to contact and respond quickly to any requests. Everything was so clean and very well equipped. Can’t wait to book again!

This little cottage was absolutely adorable! It was very clean and decorated beautifully. It had every amenity that you could ask for and had a great view of gorgeous Torch Lake. Karen was extremely friendly and very helpful with suggestions and recommendations for local restaurants and things to do and responded quickly with any questions that we had. We would definitely rent this home again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property - hosts were highly responsive and accommodating to our requests. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, this is the perfect place to stay. Everything was spotless—from the rooms to the kitchen and bathroom, every corner was clean and well-kept. The area is incredibly quiet and serene, perfect for unwinding and relaxing. The water was crystal clear, adding to the overall refreshing experience. It truly felt like a home away from home. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay—simple, sweet, and absolutely soothing. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a peaceful retreat

We will definitely book this place again if we need to be close to the Grand Traverse Resort again. Its very clean, very comfortable, and the the views are really nice. It's just far away enough from downtown to be quiet and peaceful.

Thank you for the perfect getaway! Moondance Shores is a peaceful and modern home with gorgeous views of the lake! The location is incredible - tucked away in nature, yet a quick drive to town. This home is an absolute gem! Christiane is a kind, responsive, and helpful host. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We hope to visit again soon!

Absolutely incredible stay at the White Birch Cabin with our family - 6 adults and 3 kiddos. The cabin is really nice, clean, and full of new amenities. We enjoyed a ton of time on the deck and down at the beach. We used the kayaks and paddle boards everyday on the calm bay. We also enjoyed a short drive to Charlevoix to check out the town and do some shopping. Tyler was super responsive to any questions we had while we were there. Would 100% return! Thanks Tyler!

Beautiful home in a great location, just 10 minutes from downtown.

Forest’s condo. is a perfect haven for fun, relaxation and comfort. She is extremely responsive to questions and wants the renters to have a great experience. We look forward to going back!
