You can walk the beach forever - something you can't do on inland lakes. Grand Traverse Bay water frontage is constantly changing and advertising photos will not necessarily depict the beach and water as it might be during the rental period. Higher water levels reduce and could potentially eliminate beach area. The beach has pebbles and sand with a bottom of smooth rocks (aqua shoes are recommended). There are two stand up paddleboards and two tandem kayaks that can be used to enjoy the bay. There are four bikes. The home is modern with 2,000'+ square feet of living space. There are three bedrooms and a 'dormitory' plus sleeper sofa. There are two full bathrooms with tub/showers which are both accessible without entering a bedroom. The kitchen is a chef's dream. There is over 20' of counter space, a high end induction stove and top of the line cookware. The appliances are stainless steel. A gorgeous quartz countertop island with double bowl sink provides a dramatic lake view. The icemaker allows ice to be moved right to your cooler. A washer and dryer is provided on the main floor for convenience. All the modern conveniences are provided including high speed internet and "cable" TV (cable TV may not be available in the off season). There are Samsung Ultra HD TVs in every bedroom with Nexflix streaming and broadcast TV plus a 75" top of the line Samsung TV in the main living area. To keep you cool there are seven ceiling fans and central air conditioning. The bay is shallow which makes it great for young children. The master bedroom is a large loft area and the only room upstairs. It overlooks the family room and dining area (and the lake). The master bath offers a relaxing whirlpool tub. The loft can be closed for privacy but has an opening above so it is not "soundproof". The second bedroom and den/bedroom are on the main floor. Dormitory sleeping is provided on the lower level in the game 'rec room'. There is plenty of parking including space for a boat trailer. There is a boat launch 10 minutes away. There is a small grocery store with a great deli (and delicious summer BBQ) only 5 minutes away. A warm fire and a gorgeous view ...
