About this property

Beautiful Luxury Waterfront Home minutes from Suttons Bay and Traverse City

PERFECT FOR FAMILIES! DIRECTLY ON THE WATER!

3 bdr, 3 1/2 bath, sleeps 6-8, 137' of frontage on beautiful West Grand Traverse Bay just minutes from Traverse City and Suttons Bay, Michigan. Available June - August for weekly rentals only, will consider monthly rentals and weekend rentals other times.

Beds - King in master bedroom on main floor, 1 queen in upstairs bedroom and two twin over full bunk beds in other upstairs bedroom.

Perfect for family vacations with sandy-bottom, shallow beach with very gradual grade (no drop-offs). Direct waterfront - no road to cross! Spectacular water views from every room in the house. Spacious front and back yard. Fires on the beach and dinners on the deck. 15 minutes from shopping and restaurants in downtown Traverse City and only 5 minutes from charming downtown Suttons Bay. A mile from the TART trail, a paved bike path that connects Traverse City and Suttons Bay. A great starting point for all the vineyards, orchards, towns and sights of Leelanau County including the towns of Northport, Leland, Glen Arbor and Empire as well as Sleeping Bear Dunes, of course.

Enjoy a glass of wine at sunset on the upper deck or a cup of coffee on the large covered porch overlooking the bay. Relax on the Adirondacks around the fire table on those crisp nights. Truly a paradise in Northern Michigan!

CLEAN HOME! Cherry cabinets throughout, master bath jacuzzi and tile shower, gas fireplace, maple flooring, and covered front and back decks with Trex Decking. Asphalt drive.

The carpeted master bedroom is on the first floor with a private pergola covered deck. The private master bath includes jacuzzi tub and custom tile shower. There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer as well as a half-bath on the first floor.

The living room overlooks the bay with gas stone fireplace and maple hardwood floors to bring the beauty of Northern Michigan inside. Comfortable large Room and Board sectional sofa and swivel chairs.

The kitchen is spacious with stove, oven, microwave, disposal, dishwasher and numerous appliances (soup-maker, rice-cooker, panini-maker, pancake griddle, toaster and toaster oven, crock pot, blender, ice cream maker and more). There is a bar area for a quick breakfast or settle into the farm table in the dining room surrounded by windows overlooking the water. More dishes, glasses and serving plates than you will need.

A beautiful staircase takes you upstairs to two large bedrooms each with private bath and walk-in closet, along with a comfortable sitting area. Each bedroom has a private entrance to the balcony which has a tempered-glass railing to provide spectacular unobstructed views of West Bay. Take a nap or read a book on this upper deck on the chaise lounge with large umbrella for shade.

There is a mudroom coming in from the garage for coats, shoes, beach towels and toys with sitting area and cabinetry.

The garage has a foosball table, ping pong table, dart board, TV, bluetooth speaker and Crate and Barrel sofa for hanging out on a rainy day. The bunk room has a play table with drawers full of Legos and Thomas the Train tracks for the kids. Cabinets hide board games and puzzles for all to enjoy. Books for adults and kids. There are two Schwinn cruisers as well as three kayaks (two adult, one kids) and a kids stand up paddle board for your use. Basketball hoop on the driveway. This home has it all!

Lots of outdoor space with covered and uncovered portions of deck with ceiling fan, adirondacks, table/chairs, gas Weber grill and outdoor Bose speakers connected to a bluetooth Sony receiver. Firepit in the sand for s'mores. A beautiful 300 foot dock juts out from the property (sometimes shorter depending on water level). Regardless, the water remains shallow that far out!

Great stay on the bay

The house was wonderful for a couples wine tasting weekend. Communication with the host was great, along with a great book of instructions and suggestions providing answers to everything you could wonder about the area. Definitely plan on using again.

Beautiful, like-new cottage in prime location, family friendly

Our family has rented cottages in this area for 30+ years and we were looking for a clean, up-to-date cottage to rent in Suttons Bay, and especially on Lee Point Road, since their beaches have very gradual entry and shallow water, also calm for the little ones. This cottage was a real find! It has the king size bed, A/C and heat, and other amenities we appreciated and were looking for. It was very clean, and looks like a brand-new cottage! The decorations are beautiful and not crowded and the rooms are spacious with lots of bathrooms and two tubs. They have kayaks to use, bikes to borrow and the kitchen is well-stocked with basics and lots of serving ware. The deck gave us welcome shade to sit and enjoy the water during the day or in the evening. There are so, so many windows that even when I was preparing dinner, I could look out and watch the kids playing and enjoy the beach view. The proximity to the water is unusual for Lee Point Road, too. Many of the cottages seem to be across the road from their beaches, so this was extra special to have a cottage right next to the water. The beach was small this year but the kids had just enough sand to play in. We liked the detailed instructions Dave gave us, so we knew what to expect and what was expected of us. They even had a lot of ideas, maps and brochures for things to do in the area. Wonderful vacation!

A beautiful beach house

My family, 6 adults, had the best time at the beach house. The house was the perfect size. Each bedroom has a private bath, which is great. The beach is just steps from the deck. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed. Both interior and exterior is beautifully decorated and up to date. The kayaks and bikes are an added bonus which we took advantage of. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. We'll be back next year.

Beautiful views and house is so clean!

We stayed here as two families with 2 4 year olds and 2 1 year olds. The views are stunning- the house was incredibly clean. There were two pack n plays and a baby gate which was nice. House has just about everything you need to cook and also has kids plates/utensils/cups. Highly recommend! Owner is very responsive. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by David Ouyang

Host profile image
We have been vacationing in Michigan for years, but after our first visit to the Leelanau Peninsula, we knew we had found the place where we wanted to buy our vacation home. Our three boys may be the only people who love the area and our home more than we do.

Why they chose this property

The location is perfect. It is quiet and one of the only houses directly on the water on Lee Point, but off of busy M22. It sits between the charming towns of Suttons Bay and Traverse City and is a perfect launching point to visit all of the amazing towns, restaurants, vineyards, hikes, shops and beaches of the Leelanau Peninsula.
