Beachfront vacation rentals in Peninsula Township

We had a great weekend. The cabin is lovely. We hiked at the nearby nature area, fished in the lake & surrounding areas, and explored downtown. We made breakfasts and dinners at the cabin and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were all comfortable. We enjoyed the variety of boats available.

Wow! if I could turn my car around and go right back to Miriah's place, I would do it in a heartbeat! We took our 3 kids for a quick Fall Break trip to Elk Rapids and we all fell in love with Miriah's place and this amazing little town. The house is a perfect layout for families, with lots of common spaces to hang out together AND enough sitting nooks for people to find quiet places to read and relax too. The kitchen has got to be the most well stocked Airbnb kitchen I've ever been to. Next time, I'll plan to cook more because now I know Miriah's house literally has EVERYTHING you might need to cook and serve a big group. The house was spotlessly clean, the furniture was super comfy and we slept super well. We loved walking to the beach, playing at the playground, watching people catch fish by the dam, walking to the shops in town, and enjoying the incredible views. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. Thanks for a great stay!

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay! The lakeside ranch is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful scenery. We enjoyed coffee while staring at the beautiful lake every morning. The dogs romped through the spacious backyard which was covered in gorgeous green foliage. The lovely and spacious home is in a great location near downtown TC and all the wineries, but still far enough away to be quiet when it mattered. There were more than enough beach towels, board games, and things to do inside and about the lake. We really didn't want for anything while staying here. I can't say enough good things about our stay here. Incredibly comfortable and inviting... we hope to visit again soon!

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!

Luke was incredibly accommodating on very short notice and made the entire experience seamless with his excellent communication. The cabins were super cozy, and the location was absolutely breathtaking—truly a perfect getaway!

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!

A fantastic Fall getaway for our family! The cabin was close enough to towns but remote and on the water for peace and quiet. My kids loved being on the beach hunting for Petoskey stones! We will absolutely go back!

This is our second time staying at Laurie’s Airbnb and we love it. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the winter wonderland up there. Laurie is very communicative and very helpful. The place is comfy and we love that we can bring our dogs!

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.

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.

We stayed at Roger and Mary’s place for a short weekend up north and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision. The place was clean and inviting and Rog and Mary were absolutely wonderful from the beginning of our visit to the end. The condo was spotless, looked exactly like the pictures and very comfortable. Perfect distance from both Harbor Springs, Petoskey and the Highlands. I will most definitely be coming back! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality Rog and Mary!

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!

Chalet by the Bay exceeded our expectations! The house was clean and spacious, and the layout of the space and the thoughtful touches and amenities throughout were much appreciated. Our family loved the close proximity to the bay and enjoyed time on the beach - such a beautiful setting! The location was also convenient to reach Suttons Bay, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and everything in between. We would wholeheartedly recommend Chalet by the Bay to anyone vacationing in this area!

Cozy place with a great view of the lake. Perfect location for our annual fishing trip to the Traverse City area.

This is a lovely home in an amazing location. The access to Silver Lake with paddle boards and kayaks readily available was amazing!

We loved staying at Christy's place! She is an awesome host, responsive, friendly and ready to help! The cottage is adorable and had all of the amenities we needed. The location was a perfect spot on the quiet lake and across the street from the biking , walking, running path that goes all the way to Duluth! Very scenic with lots of unique birds along the way. We'll be back! Claudia, Alex and Natalie

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!

This spot is such a gem, and so is Fran! Highly recommend staying here, every detail is thought out which makes a little vacation so easy! The views are gorgeous!

Everything you need to enjoy your stay is provided. Way beyond many places. Stocked kitchen and bathroom. Property is on be of a kind. Elk Lake is a treasure. Enjoy.
