We couldn't have asked for a better location. Literally right in the heart of downtown Traverse City. Surrounded by restaurants, shops, coffee shops... Steps from the BEACH. Wonderful. Loved it. Will be back with another group of friends. Elevated Team were amazing also.

Fantastic trip and beautiful condo at the Downtown Oasis by the Bay! Troy was incredibly responsive to all requests and everything was perfect for our time in Traverse City. The location was extremely walkable to everything cherry festival related and was right across the street from a great park. We will definitely stay again!
Many of our homes feature outdoor spaces that are perfect for soaking up the beauty of northern Michigan. You can sip your morning coffee on a private patio, enjoy lunch in the sunshine, or spend evenings by a firepit. Some properties offer hot tubs, grills, and outdoor seating that make it easy to enjoy your surroundings year-round. You’ll get that vacation feeling without leaving the area you already know and love.
You don’t have to leave your dog behind during your staycation. Many of our properties are pet-friendly and include features like fenced yards, pet beds, and easy access to walking trails. Traverse City is a dog-loving community, and your pup will feel right at home with local dog parks, pet-friendly patios, and plenty of room to roam. Staying close to home also helps keep your pet comfortable, so everyone in the family can relax and enjoy the break.
When life gets busy, it’s easy to forget all the fun waiting just outside your door. A staycation gives you time to revisit your favorite places and try something new. Head down to the bay and spend a lazy afternoon on the water. Rent a kayak, take a boat tour, or just stroll the shoreline. Explore the trails at Boardman Lake or bike the TART Trail with a coffee stop along the way. If it’s been a while since you visited the Village at Grand Traverse Commons, now is the time to explore its shops, restaurants, and historic buildings.
There’s more to Traverse City than the places you see every day. Take a scenic drive along M-22, book a wine tasting at a local vineyard, or catch a show at the City Opera House. Plan a beach day with friends, enjoy a picnic at Clinch Park, or go on a lighthouse hunt around the peninsula. A staycation gives you the time to do the things you always talk about but rarely plan.
Sometimes the best part of a staycation is simply slowing down. Sleep in a little later. Take a midday nap. Watch the sunset from your rental’s balcony or deck. With a vacation rental, you can create your own rhythm and enjoy the freedom of a schedule that’s entirely yours. If your weekdays are normally filled with work and errands, this is your chance to reconnect with yourself and the people you love in a comfortable, familiar setting that still feels like a break from the norm.
