Cool Location - Close to Coffee

Nice, clean, roomy spot for a couple that wants a view of the beach. The backside/bedroom is closer to the main drag but it wasn't noisy at all. Suttons Bay is a nice/close alternative to the commotion of TC.

Nice location in Sutton’s Bay but very dated

Location could not be beat - right behind library, beach & marina! Easy check in & info from manager made locating it easy. Short walk to shops, restaurants & right on the beautiful Tart trail for bike riding!But the apartment is pretty dated: rusty porch furniture, squidgy carpet, hard water stained bathroom & really gives the feeling of staying in someone else’s home - especially as the stairs to main floor are semi-open with a doggy gate & fake plant sitting on the stairwell & a hollow core door added halfway down that lets all noise from downstairs float up…We were happy for the spot on the Leelenau peninsula that we love & visit often, but will be looking to stay somewhere else in the future.
