Luxury Luggage Carts - Complements of Northern Shores Vacation Rentals, LLC.

Peninsula Bay Resort Condominiums has been provided with two luxury luggage carts complements of Northern Shores Vacation Rentals. We are pleased to provide this convenience to both Peninsula Bay owners as well as to guests. We were happy to provide the utility cart that has served the building well since last spring but these two cards are miles ahead in many ways. They are built to last for years with titanium gold hand-holds, inflated non-marking wheels, and a 1000lbs weight capacity. After 3 years of becoming in-tune with some of Peninsula Bay's needs, we feel these carts will be a very useful addition to an already most luxurious Resort.

Traverse City: West Bay - Ice Biker

Ok, you don't see this everyday! My first thoughts were that this gentleman was pulling a somewhat dangerous stunt for the kicks of others or maybe just for himself. That may be the case but it seems that this was his solution to a dreaded wet slushy walk from this fish shany to the shoreline over by Bryant Park. I spent most of my youth on the shores of Northern Lake Leelanau in Leelanau County and have logged may hours mostly playing on a frozen lake. I can tell you though, that it never crossed my mind, even as a young person, to drag by bike out onto the frozen h2o. As I continued to follow him across the bay with my zoom lens is if he was a passing satellite across the horizon, he did fall - once. Kicked from his bike he sat there for what seemed a full minute as his bike stood high upright, obviously with its wheels stuck in the slush - burr. He then got back on his feet (most likely restarted his heart!) and straddled his bike and continue on. I'm sure his bottom was now completely frozen. What a wonderful place Traverse City is...

Nicole Hulet - Coldwell Banker Schmidt - Rookie of the Year Award

Nicole Hulet of the 548 East Front Street Coldwell Banker Schmidt office was presented the "Rookie of the Year" award for 2007. Coldwell Banker's "Celebration of Excellence" ceremony was held last night at the Grand Traverse Resort. Although Nicole is no "Rookie" (she has held her real estate license since the mid 90s, using it in conjunction with vacation rental management) she was honored to receive the award. Nicole has had great success introducing new owners to the Peninsula Bay Resort Condominiums over the last 2+ years. She sells what she believes in and her heart belongs to Peninsula Bay. Nicole, coupled with a great team from Coldwell Banker, the once thought dim future of the project has turned full circle and this East Bay opportunity has been realized. She plans to continue matching new owners with this high quality complex through this summer 2008.

Large Freighter Seeks Shelter in East Bay Today

Snowy wintry day in Traverse City this last day of November. Temps were steady at 18 degrees F. with a good blow from the NW. It was surprising to me to see a freighter of this size in East Bay. Not an uncommon sight in West Bay, but its been a while, if ever, that I've seen a freighter of this size in East Bay. The photo really doesn't do it justice. The ship looked huge looming in the dark green waters off of Peninsula Bay's beachfront. There were times that I couldn't see the ship when the snow came down hard. It was in a constant state of fading and
re-appearing, very cool to watch.

Peninsula Bay's Bathrooms Becoming Reality

Crews were working on the Pool bathroom today, at Peninsula Bay, in severely cold weather. The structure is taking shape and it will be exciting to see what the amenities are when complete. The ice-melt is disabled for the duration of the construction so be careful on the walks during icy conditions.
