The beach home you've dreamed about is right here.  Come enjoy the 'most beautiful place in America'!  Walk 125 STEPS right onto the sugar sand, private beach from the back porch of this 2300 sq. ft. condo.  It is tastefully decorated with 4 comfortable sized bedrooms and 3 baths situated right on SLEEPING BEAR BAY AT THE HOMESTEAD RESORT in Glen Arbor. It sleeps 12 people.

Being on the GROUND LEVEL offers a lot more comfort and ease.  Watch your young children play right outside the back porch.  Come and go to the beach much more easily from the lower level.  The beach will be much more inviting if getting there isn't such a chore.  

The beach area at SOUTH BEACH is premium.  Unlike some other areas, it is wide and the sand is smooth.  It is private so you will feel you have the place to yourself!

Take in THE VIEW through 25 ft wall of windows in the common area overlooking Sleeping Bear Bay and South Manitou Island at Lake Michigan. This is one of the best views.  Enjoy the Lake Michigan breezes on the porch while you watch the amazing sunsets.  Make a cozy fire in the fireplace and roast marshmallows. Or visit Leelanau Observatory, a 5 min walk up the beach, to gaze at the stars.

The 2nd bedroom on the main floor has teo twin bed,s a closet, a dresser, and a flat screen SMART TV/ Cable with a desk and a 2 windows.  All rooms contain a portable fan. Strong breezes off the lake keep you cool on warmer days.  The 2ND SEPARATE 3/4 BATHROOM contains a sink, toilet and shower. We do not have air conditioning.

It has two more bedrooms, a full bath, a living area with large SMART TV/CABLE, kitchenette, wine cooler, full size washer and dryer and a patio with slider door where the grill is.

If you're cooking don't worry. You wont be left out.  The kitchen is 'COOK AND LOOK'', which means you will be able to enjoy the fantastic view too.  This is one of our favorite aspects of the condo.  There is a long dining table that seats 10 and large island with 3 extra barstool seats. The kitchen is stocked with any basic utensil or appliance you need, including a stainless steel upgraded fridge with freezer, stainless dishwasher, ice maker, pots and baking pans.  A grocery store, Anderson's, in town is minutes away.  If you're not into cooking there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance or a short car ride to the quaint town of Glen Arbor.  Our favorite restaurant is La Becasse in Burdickville.  French food to die for!

We have a grill! However, there are no pool privileges or air conditioning. They cannot be purchased either. You have access to all Homestead amenities except the pool, the restaurant at the main pool and the tennis courts. There are free tennis courts, pickle ball, exercise equipment and play area in town. There is a great new YMCA with a pool in Traverse City.

The town of GLEN ARBOR is the Mayberry of Michigan.  Lots of shop owners are willing to get to know you.  There are restaurants to suit any taste and budget.  The kids can play in the park and mom can shop to her heart's content.  Dad can hang out at Art's Tavern to watch the game.  When you're all done stop at The Cherry Republic for a BoomChukkaLukka Ice Cream Extravaganza and post your pic on their wall!

After you've feasted enjoy the many trails on the SLEEPING BEAR NATIONAL LAKESHORE.  Pierce Stocking Drive will take your breath away. Hike, kayak, canoe, tube or bike.  Kayak/canoe/bike rentals right in town. Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail is a 10 mile paved hiking trail. Or visit some of the neighboring towns like Empire, Cedar or Leeland. You will not run out of things to do!  

Why this condo?  Well the view is unmatched, it's spacious, updated, well appointed, ground level, professionally cleaned and worth the trip.  I look forward to responsible renters that will also appreciate what this condo and the area has to offer.
