We enjoyed our stay at Kasa. The condo was well stocked and comfortable. Loved the tall ceiling, updated accommodations and appreciated the elevator. Easy walk into the downtown! We will stay again.

Beautiful location and outstanding views right by the bay and Clinch Park. It’s right across from the beach. Also within walking (10 min.) or biking distance of downtown TC shops etc. — and 15 min drive from gorgeous wineries and 40 minutes from the amazing dunes, etc. The condo itself was gorgeous, super clean and very spacious — and bright! (Strongly suggest bringing down amenities or buying cooking items like spices, etc. if you wish to cook.) bring beach towels! However, the condo had all the basics, including a Keurig, pots and pans, knives —and even wine glasses. It also had a wonderful laundry closet with lovely new appliances. After reading the reviews, I brought a night mask and a white noise machine because you can indeed hear all the footsteps above. Check-in and all instructions were so easy — some of the best ever. Agree with other reviewers that it would be nice to have a security bar for the sliding glass doors but this place all-in-all was A+. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Loved staying here. Best views, everything in walking or driving distance, rooms cleaned and everything you need in them. Will be booking again. Booked a 2 bedroom, got upgraded to 3 for free.

Everything was clean. The layout was spacious! Great view of the water. Very easy to walk to shops and restaurants. Our family of 5 enjoyed our time here! Our only recommendation would be to have tvs that allow streaming services rather than being limited to Direct TV options.

Very nice, new place in a great location with a spectacular view from our 4th floor unit. Clean and comfortable. The only negative was the lack of a TV remote that allowed access to streaming services. We had to watch a game on our laptop.

What a beautiful property! Spotlessly clean, 3 balconies overlooking lake Michigan. Perfect central location for the penninsula area and for Petoskey area exploring. Bike path right in front of building. Communication with host was great
