Vacation rentals with beach access in Kalkaska County

A precious space right in town that we enjoyed so much, only wishing we would have had more time. Incredible hosts providing great communication and information to make our short time so special. The space had everything one needs and we were super comfy. We cannot wait to return. Thank you so much!

Lovely place RIGHT on the lake. My husband and I went for a date weekend of ice fishing and relaxation. Yes-it was a perfect spot to walk out and fish despite the quantities of snow! Restaurants all right there in walking distance- hours are different than what is on menus or online so be aware. Very clean and cozy place that was spacious and warm. We will definitely keep it on our list for the future!

Angela’s place was amazing! When we walked in, we were in awestruck by how classy the furniture selections and decorating were. Also, this was probably the cleanest Air BNB we have stayed in. Angela was very communicative, and she provided great recommendations for places to dine. We enjoyed the fire pit one evening, with the reflection of the full moon over the bay…so cool! We would love to come back to the area, and this place will certainly be our first choice for places to stay!

My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Great stay for our girls trip. The place was very neat and clean and presented just as described. There were many thoughtful “little essentials” that made our stay comfortable. The kitchenette had an electric skittle if you wanted to do some light cooking. There were 4 of us for a three night stay and there were plenty of towels/linens. The place is situated right in town so it is close to many restaurants and TC events. The host was quick to respond when we had a question. I would highly recommend this property.

We were in town for a family wedding and this was a perfect location. Could walk to town and other stores were close by. Place was better than expected.

Great location with a super host. Only small issues — no freezer for the ice pad we need for a knee issue and, the bed, though comfortable is insanely high — even with a step stool was tough for my five foot wife to get in and out of. Super thick mattress plus a couple inch topper. Incredibly well stocked and super clean. Parking was a breeze and the front deck was a real nice bonus. Wonderful experience.

This was the second time we stayed there and it was still a great stay thank you !

This was probably my favorite vacation rental of any that I have used. The house was huge with plenty of room for everyone. Well-stocked kitchen. The pond and the forest made everything magical. Theresa was a wonderful friendly conscientious host. If you're coming to the Traverse City area, this is the place to stay. We also visited Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Harbor Springs.

teresa’s home was in the perfect location for what we were wanting! easy to access the sandbar! she was super helpful with anything we needed! highly recommend!

The house was very well furnished, yard was perfect for a nightly bonfire with friends and family. Close enough to town where you could easily get groceries, fuel, or simple go out to eat with no worry about it being a long drive. The house was located perfectly around multiple trailheads for ORV riding (within 20 mins). The only thing that I can say that was a downside to the rental was the amount of kitchenware. For a cabin that sleeps 10, there were limited plates, bowls, mixing bowls, and utensils.

The house was great and perfect for us. We brought our boat and being able to keep it on the private dock at the house for our whole stay was sooo convenient! .Such a short boat ride to the sandbar and public access to the sandbar literally across the street on foot. The house was clean and in great condition...just like the pics!! We plan to return next year!!

We truly enjoyed our stay! The location of the house was perfect- the beach, grocery, shopping, and activities were all near by. Our three families had no problem staying in the house. There was plenty of room for family time, games, and cooking. We loved this place!!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is an absolute treat having our boat right outside at the dock. We loved listening to the loons. Mark, the property manager is super helpful (thank you!). The property is clean, clutter free, and the house is stocked very well with essentials. Michael accommodated a special request I had for our stay during booking and I really appreciated the opportunity. We would love to stay here again! My only complaint is the trip went by too fast!

Everything was great for a quick weekend trip for our three families. The bunk room was perfect for the kids and shared spaces were very comfortable. Everything was very clean and easy to use. Great location- close to Torch Lake and an easy drive to Traverse City. Didn't use the outside space, but it looked great! Thanks for a great weekend of memory making!

Our family had a great time at the Captain's Cottage. It was a classic lake cottage. It was charmingly simple and had everything we needed. The small lake was perfect for swimming, paddling, and fishing for the kids. We also enjoyed the nearby Manistee River and a trip to Traverse City, an easy drive. We certainly will look to stay again when traveling to the area. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating.

Great communications. Very convenient location for us, proximity to hiking trails and the offer of the attached heated garage in snowy TC was much appreciated.

I loved staying at this Airbnb! The private beach entry was amazing. The place itself was very cozy and peaceful. Dandan was extremely responsive and easy to work with! I definitely would come back again.

Great location with a lovely view. Comfortable bed and very clean. Appreciated the complimentary wine and coffee.

Beautiful accommodations. K.C. was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to accommodate us and made sure that we had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be back and recommend to our friends and family.

We went to Traverse for a family vacation, and this location is great if you want to avoid downtown traffic and have quick access to the water and peninsula. Everything is modern and spacious, yet cozy. It seems like the condos are designed for Airbnbs, as most people staying in the building were coming and going with suitcases. It was quiet and felt like a safe place. Lots of natural light with huge windows but also can feel occasionally like a fishbowl as the view faces the parking lot and borders parking lots with two other motel/hotels, but was not a bother (and the curtains are great). We enjoyed the games, books, and electric fireplace the most. Super cozy bed and couch too! Thanks Andrew! 😊

Spring was great and very helpful and responsive. Area was great. Was hoping for snow, but warmed up when we got there. Very close to downtown and very close to area attractions.

What a little gem! We felt very safe and at home at this condo. It was nice and centrally located to all the places we wanted to go. More amenities than we could want or need and everything was spotless and well kept! We loved this place so much that we want to look at our own to purchase in the area. Will definitely stay again! Also… cannot beat the responsiveness of the owners. Top notch!

What a great place to stay! Everything was clearly labeled, which made our stay even that much better. Extra blankets for chilly evenings, a heated mattress pad with dual controls.. for when the hubby wanted it at 10 and I wanted it off, lol. We cooked some of our meals, and with the great kitchen that was so easy! We put the parking pass in our vehicle and it never moved all weekend…we walked everywhere, and there are some great food spots close by! My husband has stayed in many Airbnbs for work and he said this was by far the cleanest he has stayed in. We only wish we had warm enough weather to enjoy the great patio! The washer and dryer, which was really nice, was handy for making sure we left without dirty clothes, and that we kept the towels up. We are already looking at when we can stay here again. Thanks so much!!
