Beachfront vacation rentals in Leelanau County

My family loved the place. It was perfect for my 2 young granddaughters. It was a great location. We visited not only Suttons Bay and Traverse City but also enjoyed Glen Arbor. It was close to the bike trail. We also went on a couple of hikes. (Empire Bluffs and Pyramid Point). My adult children and spouses visited wine country in the Old Mission Peninsula while I watched my granddaughters. The nursery and playroom was perfect for our family. We loved the open concept in the kitchen and family room. We enjoyed the beach across the road from the house. Thanks for a wonderful time! It will be a vacation my family will never forget!

The house was just as described. The hosts were very responsive to messages. The kitchen had what we needed to cook meals. There was lots of extra,unexpected, things that were great. The makeup remover pads, all of the soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, even detergent were all provided. Plus there was plenty of hot water for 5 adults to shower. Our pups loved the fenced yard. The view is exactly like the pictures show. We would definitely recommend! Heather & Joe

Great spot in a great location. Walking distance to everything Leland has to offer. Also right next to very private but public access on North Lake Leelanau. Hosts were welcoming and extremely helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Our group of 5 adults and 2 kids had a great time at Christina’s place. We loved the sunsets and peaceful surroundings. Everything was clean and as described. Christina made for an easy stay. Everything leelanau is just a short drive away. We would love to be back someday.

Beautiful hidden gem right on Lake Michigan. Would stay here again in a heart beat. Felt like home with a relaxed and laid back atmosphere right on the lake. Greg and his wife go above and beyond to make their guests feel most welcomed and provided exceptional customer service. FREE firewood, kayaks and paddleboat was a nice touch along with the 700' of private beach for rockhounding. TRULY MAGICAL! Thank you!

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 cottage was perfect place to stay while visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. It was cozy and well decorated with a fireplace to heat the cabin on some cold nights. It was located lakeshore and she provided extra kayaks when asked. Also, we were able to bring our Boston Terrier and we so appreciated that. She enjoyed her stay as well. I would definitely recommend Melanie's cottage when visiting the area.

We loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! The pictures don’t do the view from the main living room justice - gorgeous panoramic lakefront. The cabin was rustic but homey. We enjoyed curling up on the sofa with a good book, playing games at the dining table, and grilling out. Our two dogs had a wonderful time splashing around on the private beach. This location is very desirable in both its privacy and proximity to multiple other towns (Suttons Bay and Leland are very close, and Glen Arbor and Traverse City are easily drivable). So quiet and peaceful - would stay again!

Our family with two young kids had everything we needed at Laura’s place. The kids especially enjoyed the tennis court and games. The location is unbeatable—on the water and within 10 minutes of Empire, Glen Arbor and Lake Michigan. We were also pleasantly surprised by the temperature of the home despite not having air conditioning. Laura provided many fans and we were extremely comfortable!

Lovely location. Beautiful surroundings. Lots to do around the area. I found the people around the area to be rude and somewhat unfriendly. I have visited lots of different locations around the states and have never felt like that before. I never met anyone from whom we rented the place from. We never needed anything either though so I suppose that's a good thing. Price wise is my only complaint. For such a small place it wasn't reasonable price wise. However we made it work and had a wonderful time. I definitely recommend this place for a small group only. 4 or less.

We had a large group with kids and this home was great. We loved it. Its a rustic beach house. Lots of beds. It had everything we needed. Beautiful views day and night. Incredible sunsets. Cant beat the beach access right out the back door. We went for the rock hunting and this house delivered! We will be back next year.

Great location and great size for 8 of us - a gem close to Glen Arbor & Sleeping Bear!

We had a great stay at Monique’s place. It’s in a perfect location for the M22 race, with easy access to both Glen Arbor and Empire. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at the cottage! The location is amazing, and while the cottage is rustic and small, it was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. Check-in was seamless, and communication was great. Thank you!

This was our second stay at Sarah's place. We feel right at home the moment we walk in the door. The home has everything we need. We enjoyed an stress-free, fun, and relaxing stay.

This place was perfect for us, and the locale cannot be beat. We stayed in the Carriage House, a 1-bedroom charmer with all the amenities necessary for our 3-day stay. If you are seeking a launching point to explore the Sutton Bay area, check this out! Easy walking distance to downtown, shopping and great restaurants...with breathtaking views from the private beach just across the lane...we will be back! We could not have been more pleased. The owners made sure we fell in love with this one, for sure!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful, clean, perfect amount of room, and the beds were very comfortable. Brandon is an excellent host! He’s very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. I would rebook for sure in the future…I hope to visit Traverse City again soon☺️

Kari's home on Lake Michigan was wonderful in every way. The property surrounding the house is beautifully landscaped with lovely plants, flowers and tall trees. Much attention to detail was apparent throughout the home. The gorgeous art, accessories, and decor were impeccable. It was apparent that in the decor she kept the historical integrity of a house built in the 1970's while adding a modern & elegant touch. Kari was completely responsive to all questions and concerns. The kitchen, house and garage were stocked with anything you could possibly need or want on a family vacation. The view, the beach, the surroundings couldn't have been more perfect. We would love to have the opportunity to enjoy this home again in the future.

Empire Beach House was amazing! The location was convenient and easy to find. It’s next to the public beach and boat launch, but noise and traffic one would expect were a non-issue—just low key, friendly locals who respected the private beach and took great pride in the natural beauty of the area. The house itself is spotless, incredibly organized, very comfortable and beautifully decorated with high quality furnishings and appliances. The views from the deck overlooking Lake Michigan and the Dunes to the North and South were jaw dropping. Spent more time there than anywhere else. We highly recommend the Empire Beach House for families and friend groups of 4-6 ppl. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

This was our second time staying at this property and we love it even more than the first time. Such a beautiful location right on the water, plenty of space, clean and walkable to downtown so we hardly used our car. Our kids loved the third floor bunk room. A great extra space. We look forward to future trips at the Innisfree Cottage!

Eagles Point was an amazing experience. The peninsula location was just breathtaking. There is a neighbor, but you would not know it. Such a perfect up Noth property perfectly located to enjoy the Leelanau peninsula! Sarah was incredibly responsive and friendly!

This was a perfect place for five couples. All beds are queen size or bigger with private rooms for each. Spacious common area to relax and spend time indoors with the colder weather in March. It was certainly as advertised.

The cabin was exactly as described. It was small yet functional, but the ability to walk right outside and into the lake made it incredible. Multiple kayaks and the canoe made for easy exploration and our dogs loved playing in the water and snoozing in the shade. The location was great for traveling around the peninsula, everything we wanted was within 20-30 minutes drive.

We had an amazing stay in Glenn Arbor at this AirBnB! The view was to die for, and we enjoyed easy beach access everyday for long walks. The location was super close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leelanau wineries, and Traverse City, so we were able to do a lot over a long weekend stay. The condo itself was super cozy, clean, and comfortable.
