Along the golden shores of East Grand Traverse Bay, two distinct getaways await. One is a modern retreat designed for total relaxation. The other? Laid-back, playful, and perfect for families. Either way, you’re just steps from the beach, the breeze, and that barefoot pace you only find by the water.
BAYWATCH RESORT
BEACH HAUS
A STAY THAT SUITS YOU
BAYWATCH RESORT
Bright, modern, and refreshingly polished, Baywatch Resort offers 104 guest rooms, nearly all with balconies overlooking Lake Michigan. Open year-round, it's a peaceful, beachy retreat designed for easygoing escapes.
Easy and full of nostalgic charm, Beach Haus is a family favorite with 32 rooms, a sprawling lawn for grilling and games, and a backyard beach that’s perfect for sunrise coffee and fun summertime activities.
We really loved this hotel. The bay view rooms have a gorgeous view of the bay and the beach (and it's so quiet and peaceful no matter the time of day). They have all of the basic accommodations that I often find missing in a lot of hotels these days such as vending machines, 24-hour complimentary coffee/tea bar, and a microwave.

BEST BEACH EXPERIENCE
Right on the beach with a great view from the balcony rooms. Nice beach with chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and toys. You order free breakfast daily that is delivered to the room. Jimmy Dean egg sausage muffin, oatmeal, yogurt, orange juice and fruit.

NICE LAKE VIEW FROM PRIVATE BALCONY
Excellent lake view. We enjoyed ending our day with a glass of wine on our private patio. We had a second-floor room which we preferred. It was always quiet. The staff was all excellent. The person who set up the breakfast gave us great tips on things to see and do in the area.

CLEAN, FRIENDLY, AMAZING VIEWS
What a gem!!! The room was updated and beautiful and our second-floor lake view was unbeatable! We sat out on the balcony and enjoyed the water. The beach was gorgeously maintained. Lots of seating. Loved the mini fridge with a freezer for our ice packs!
