Private Sandy Beachfront & Great Location
The location of this house is fantastic, located between Suttons Bay and Northport, with plenty to do and lots of places to eat in both towns, and only 30 minutes from Traverse City. The private sandy beach was great! The kids loved playing in the sand and getting their toes wet in the water. There's a firepit on the beach and we enjoyed relaxing there at night gazing at all the stars. The house faces east on the bay and the sunrises were breathtaking. The Hosts are great, and they were very responsive to all questions. The house left a bit to be desired and was more Rustic than anticipated. It has plenty of room, but aside from the master, the two other bedrooms on the main floor are very small, with poor lighting. Without daylight, and the natural light provided by numerous skylights, the lighting throughout the entire house is poor, only provided by lamps. Playing games in the evening at the dining room table was near impossible with the only light is provided by one dimly lit lamp hung over the table. All the bathrooms are nicely remolded, however, mine had a big carpenter ant issue, I would find one or two every time I used the bathroom. Aside from the carpenter ants, the house also had a huge fruit fly infestation that needs to be addressed. Everyone gets fruit flies once in a while, but not to this extent. I would not have been put off by seeing a dish of apple cider vinegar left out to attract them and keep them out of my drink, or by ant traps left in various spots.
