Beachfront vacation rentals in Glen Arbor

This is the place to stay if you want to be by Traverse City and still have great privacy and a beautiful home in the middle of God's country! You will not regret a trip to this place! Amazing!!

We had a great time at Torch lake. Ryan was a great host - very responsive who left very good instructions, recommendations for restaurants things to do in the area. The home is very clean and well supplied. The pontoon is very nice.

Beautiful home in a gorgeous location - perfect for our family getaway!

We so enjoyed our family trip here! It felt like a tree house upstairs looking out to trees and the lake. It was a cozy family room area. We had a great time kayaking in big Sanford lake. It was so peaceful on the weekdays we were there. Sometimes we were the only kayakers. It was close to Traverse City and we checked out Frankfort and Crystal Mountain too. Overall would recommend!

Luke was incredibly accommodating on very short notice and made the entire experience seamless with his excellent communication. The cabins were super cozy, and the location was absolutely breathtaking—truly a perfect getaway!

This house worked perfectly for our group consisting of two families with young children. There were even a few unexpected additions that came in handy for us including an already set up full size crib and a high chair for our use. All instructions were clearly provided. The house has gorgeous views and was nice and clean. The location is also great - close to downtown and easy access to the lake. The only negatives for us were that the hot tub cover was cumbersome, deteriorating, and in need of replacement. It left styrofoam debris in the hot tub whenever it was moved. The light in the hot tub also did not work. That being said, we still enjoyed the hot tub. One bedroom also had a strong musty odor, but was managed by opening a window. Overall we would definitely come back!

We had a wonderful time in Traverse City and would totally stay again! The place is wonderful, homey, and comfortable. The roof deck is awesome, with a lovely view of the bay. Bob was always available if need be and they left a darling cherry themed gift basket upon our arrival. We’d definitely stay again. Great location with proximity to other lakeside towns for day trips and the crystal clear bay right across the street.

Enjoyed our stay tried ice fishing it had everything we needed very comfortable

Wow! if I could turn my car around and go right back to Miriah's place, I would do it in a heartbeat! We took our 3 kids for a quick Fall Break trip to Elk Rapids and we all fell in love with Miriah's place and this amazing little town. The house is a perfect layout for families, with lots of common spaces to hang out together AND enough sitting nooks for people to find quiet places to read and relax too. The kitchen has got to be the most well stocked Airbnb kitchen I've ever been to. Next time, I'll plan to cook more because now I know Miriah's house literally has EVERYTHING you might need to cook and serve a big group. The house was spotlessly clean, the furniture was super comfy and we slept super well. We loved walking to the beach, playing at the playground, watching people catch fish by the dam, walking to the shops in town, and enjoying the incredible views. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. Thanks for a great stay!

This is a hidden gem. Location is perfect! It’s so private and quaint. A perfect drive to and from Traverse and Glen Arbor. Nothing beats a property on a lake. Plenty of backyard to run around on too. There is a neighborhood trail that you can stay on to walk miles without having to go back n Major roads, this was a major perk for us to run on and walk on. Definitely would love to come back.

This stone cottage is absolutely adorable. Everything you need for your stay is ready: comfy bed with super soft linens, clean towels, soaps, coffee and maker, and the list goes on and on. Nick greeted us as we arrived and was very hospitable. He left us a kind, welcome letter, fresh flowers, chocolates, and wine! The cable tv and WiFi worked perfectly too. But THE VIEW and LOCATION are amazing! It could not get better! Beautiful lawn, stone walls, and a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan. And it’s literally a 2 minute walk to cross the street and rock hunt or walk the beach! The neighborhood homes are mostly stone and historic-so beautiful. This place is peaceful and serene, and we will be back! Thank you, Nick. We had a great spring getaway! We’d love to return in the summer.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

Loved this great find near Traverse City! The property was beautiful with a cute little beach. There were beach chairs on the sand and above on an astroturf seating area. There were also a couple docks to walk out farther onto the water. Our dogs enjoyed the slight waves and exploring the wooded area on leash. The cabin was clean and comfortable. It was about 20 minutes to Traverse City, so it was easy to get to lots to do as well as the beautiful beaches in the area. We loved sitting at the public beach with our dogs. Such a relaxing place to stay and a great town to enjoy with family and pets.

Super cute and cozy cabin that was perfect for our group of 6 while we were in town for the Bayshore Marathon. We enjoyed our stay!

Corey’s place was perfect for our needs. We loved being able to pull into the garage and let our dogs out directly into the fenced yard. The home was beautiful, very clean and had a wonderful layout. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen and bathrooms, there were even games. We enjoyed the beach access and the sunrise and sunset views. I really hope get another chance to stay here.

The property at Boyne is a classic and has maintained a warm place in our memories which we have returned to decades ago after decades. There is history and seasoning in everything which has traveled and joined in our time and hopes every time we attend.

Overall, excellent choice for us for the first leg of our golf trip at Arcadia Bluffs.

cozy condo, down the street and across from beautiful beach. Nice deck overlooking channel.

Beach Bliss was a perfect get away with gorgeous views! The unit was very clean and inviting. Dandan was very attentive with any questions we may have had. I would highly recommend her place.

As always, Shanty Creek did not disappoint! The view was spectacular, with full fall colors popping! We got to walk the Legend golf course several times, and the colors were amazing on that, too. This unit is cozy and absolutely perfect for a couple getting away for a few days. We would definitely return to this unit any time of year!

This was our first trip with our 4 young adult children, their spouses, & our grand baby's 1st vacation. Absolutely thoughtful and intentional details to make our stay fun and cozy: yard games, kayaks, beach lounge chairs, fire pit and Adirondack chairs, cozy blankets to snuggle on the sofas, and spacious property allowed us to have privacy yet spend special time together. Also, the dining for 10 was just perfect with all the kitchen appliances and supplies to make special home cooked meal.

Holly communicated very well and answered questions very quickly. The home is beautiful and clean. Outside wild turkey and around 10 deer ran through to the valley below. It’s close to the shops and the lodge. We walked to dinner and drinks. I would definitely book again and would recommend this place and Holly!!! Thank you for a great place to stay over the weekend!!!

Lots of amenities that are in walking distance! Loved to be on the water with a dock near by and a pool for the kids! It was wonderful!!
