Traverse City Vacationer™ Gets New Look!

Traverse City Vacationer - What started out as an idea has grown into a collection of several Traverse City and Leelanau rental properties. While at first I really liked the "black" theme of the site leaning on my photography gallery preferences, it was time for a new look for the Traverse City Vacationer, something more in tune with what it has become, vacation rental listings. I decided to get in line with a beache-er theme as that is what the site is mostly about, summer time fun in the sun with several locations to do so. The new site has a simpler contact method with e-mail links instead of dreaded "forms" to fill out. Just click the e-mail link and type...it's fast and easy. This puts the perspective renter in contact with the owner or manager of that particular property. I'm still transfering listings from the "old" site, so expect to see more listings pop up over the next couple of weeks.

New Luxury Suite Joins Northern Shores Rental Program

Northern Shores Vacation Rentals, LLC. is proud to offer yet another luxury condominium at Peninsula Bay Resort Condominiums on East Bay in Traverse City.

A very sincere congratulations to the owners of Suite C22, their suite is our newest addition in the Peninsula Bay vacation rental line up and they have been very hard at work preparing the perfect vacation suite.

Peninsula Bay Suite C22; Let me introduce you...

Suite C22 is located on the 2nd floor and is on the East side of the condominium complex. It enjoys one of the largest balconies at approx. 210 sq.ft. and is a comfortable distance from the green lawn below. I great suite for those that are not fond of great heights! Also note that the "C" suites are the closest suites to the bay while still being on the side of the building. Off the balcony is the master bedroom via a sliding glass door. There is also a separate door leading into the living room from the balcony. The master bedroom boasts a granite dual sink vanity and a stand up glassed in shower with tiled sitting stool. The master bedroom as well as the guest bedroom have roomy walk-in closets. The living room is spacious and has lots to offer. There is a flat screen TV lending a view to both the kitchen area as well as the living room. On the East wall in the corner is a "flip-the-switch" gas fireplace that is idea for cool nights or just mood lighting. There is a comfortable lounge type chair in the living room that is a wonderful place to kick back and do some reading or even some napping! The ceiling is vaulted and uses rope lighting that gives off a nice warm glow during the evening hours. Off the living room is a fully stocked kitchen. Besides Peninsula Bay's standard sub-zero refrigerators, dual drawer dishwashers, granite counter-tops, convection gas ranges, & under the counter microwaves, there are pots and pans, utensils, glasses, coffee cups, plates, silverware, strainers, knifes, right down to the paper towels - all provided. Suite C22 also has clothes washer & dryer accommodations. A near full-size stackable washer & dryer is located in the hallway near the guest bedroom and across from the extra half bathroom. There are two coat closets with automatic lighting. (open the door - light comes on, shut the door - light goes out!) The guest bedroom has two full beds and wall mounted flat screen TV. The guest bedroom has its own full bathroom and walk-in closet. The "C" suites have the largest second bedroom of all suites. Another nice inherited feature of the "C" suites is that their door to the common hallway is separate from all other suites for a little more of a private setting.
