Downtown Northport walking distance to everything including a fabulous beach!

Searching for a one-of-a-kind rental? This super cute upper-level apartment above the Northport Post Office might be perfect. Northport is rich in history and a sure-to-please town. Post Office Box 1 is a spacious 2 bedroom 1 bath with a walk-in shower. With 1200 sf to move around it will not feel crowded. The apartment features much of the original architecture with towering ceilings and tall windows offering fantastic views of Northport. When entering the apartment, guests are welcomed by an open space that leads to the kitchen and the living room. The full/twin bedroom is off the dining area, and the king bedroom is off the living room area. The king bedroom has a TV. The main area has a Murphy bed for extra sleeping space. Wall units provide air conditioning. There are also ceiling fans in the bedrooms.

The kitchen features marble floors, stainless steel appliances, and room to cook. There is a gas stove, a dishwasher, and a separate laundry room with a washer and dryer. Off of the kitchen is the dining area with seating for 6. Walk down the hall to the living room. Step into a world of entertainment! Settle in for some TV time, bask in the warm glow of the gas fireplace, or unwind to your favorite tunes on the top-notch BOSE radio provided. There is another seating area off of the living room for board games or work space. Internet is provided. There is no cable; however, ROKU and YouTube TV are provided. There are rainy day puzzles and games as well. Northport Beach, marina, and park are just a block away. Located on the tip of Leelanau Peninsula, Northport is home to Leelanau State Park and Lighthouse, and Kiehl Lake Natural Area. These are just a few of the natural attractions in Northport. Great restaurants and coffee shops (Barbs Bakery is a tradition!) and Toms Grocery store are all within walking distance from your location.

Peaceful family get away
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved the place, and would of loved to stay longer (or at least we will visit again!). The rental was very clean, spacious, and tastefully finished. Close to many beaches, dunes, and nice restaurants. We hiked, biked, went swimming, fished the harbor, and visited the farmers market. Really with two teenage daughters, 11 yr old son, wife, and myself, we could of parked the vehicle for the entire time and stayed in Northport.

Great location, high quality interior
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of the apartment is great. Walking distance to the harbor, supermarket and restaurants. The interior (floors, doors, furniture) is of high quality and well maintained. If I were looking for something in the area I would consider this place again. I am not sure what to think of the company managing the place. They let you fill out a lot of paperwork and keep telling you how important it is that you read everything they sent you. They even call you to tell you how important it is and that you reeeeeaallllyyy need to read it. When you are at the place you find out that some of the (sometimes strangely written) information is wrong/ outdated.... I have seen companies doing that in a more professional way.

Amazing location and loft
We are in love with Northport and will be repeat travelers. The loft was in the perfect location. You can see the marina/bay from the living room. There are small beaches on each side of the marina that are a 5 min walk. A grocery store, bakery, cute shops, & great bar & grills are steps away. Northport is conveniently located next to so many fun places to visit - Grand Traverse Lighthouse/Leelanau State Park (12 mins), Leland Fishtown (15 mins), Sutton's Bay (20 mins), Peterson rock hunting beach & sunset extraordinaire (5 min), Christmas Cove swimming beach (6 mins), etc. The living room is great. All of the seating is luxury movie theater recliners. The shared quarters are spacious, but the kitchen has limited counter space. Overall we loved the loft. I wanted to give this home 5-stars, but here is why I cannot: 1. The lockbox on the bottom door into the stairwell that leads up to the loft does not lock. This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem except the main loft doors are similar to a french door; they are all glass making it so ANYONE can see into the living space and easily gain access. It felt super unsafe for us city folk. We weren't sure if the post office used the bottom door so didn't want to manually dead-bolt the door at night. 2. None of the trundle or murphy beds were functioning. The trundle in the 2nd room does not pull out because the main bed is on lifters which blocks the trundle. The murphy bed in the open living room space just wouldn't pull out. There truly are only 2 functioning beds (a king and a full). The full bed frame is a little wobbly and the mattress isn’t great; its firm and has a divot in the middle. However, the master bed and the reclining chairs in the living room are very comfortable to sleep on. 3. The remotes in the bedrooms that operated the fan and lights were synced opposite to each other. The first night we thought the place was haunted because the fans and lights kept operating on their own – haha. Then we realized whenever I turned off my light it turned on the master room. If I turned my fan on it turned theirs off and vice-versa. It was actually pretty funny. However, this issue forced one of the rooms to have to manually turn off the light switch thus not being able to use the fan. Because we loved Northport and the rest of the house, these things weren’t deal-breakers or emergencies for us. But they are things renters should be aware of and that the property manager should look into.

Generous Living Space
We wished we had chosen this place originally! We were definitely glad we made the change. The place was immaculate. Tall ceilings, large rooms, and views of the harbor! We love all things Northport and this just added to it. It was great being able to walk to the harbor, shops, food, and grocery. Some may think a negative would be the mail being delivered downstairs early in the morning, but that didn't last long. The spare room bed was difficult to get out of and was a little uncomfortable. Overall it was worth every penny and we now have a hard decision to make as to where to stay next summer.

Post Office Apartment
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Apartment was very nice, just a couple issues. Bed in second BR was VERY uncomfortable, daughter couldn't sleep in it after first night and we came home a day early (wasted $), with sofa not a good second choice. Also not informed there is an apt. in rear with a tenant. Noises from that area during the night very alarming for 2 women. Cleaning fee seems to be just for changing bedding. Guest expected to do everything else. Did like location.

Wonderful!!!
We loved this rental. It was so clean and welcoming! The games and display case was so great! I loved all the touches and the management group was excellent. The communication was so easy and supportive. The condo was so well built! I loved the big closet in the main room. We will rent again when we visit! We are picky renters and this stay passed the test. Can’t wait to stay again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful location in Northport! We loved it - make sure to pack k-cups though, we brought coffee filters like it was listed but then got there to no regular coffee pot which was disappointing. There is plenty of spots around town to grab coffee though if you don't plan to make it at home. We would totally recommend!

Very nice place
After booking a fishing trip we were looking for someplace to stay close to our boat. At first I felt we were getting leftovers because everything in the area was booked but that was not the case. We stayed 4 days and what a beautiful place very nice decor clean and very spacious. I felt at first it was a little on the high side but after our visit we realized the effort and money spent on a place this nice. Don’t be alarmed by post office open underneath it was no trouble at all. Good parking close to everything and a very comfortable place for up to six. If we venture out that way again I wouldn’t hesitate to boom here again. Thank you for the enjoyable stay

This property is so cool. My kids thought that sleeping on top of a post office was just he coolest thing ever. The property is even better than the pictures describe. The owners thought of everything to make sure our stay was perfect. We could see the bay from the living room windows. We enjoyed the ice cream shop across the street. We bought donuts from the bakery for breakfast. This little town was just so beautiful and relaxing. Thanks for a great end of summer trip!

Perfect Northport Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 6 stayed at the Post Office Box 1 for 3 nights. It was the perfect vacation getaway. The property was in excellent condition and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. There is plenty of furniture and space for the entire family to lounge around. The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped. Our only issue was that we could not get the trundle bed in the second bedroom to come out from under the bed. There were enough other sleeping options though, so we made it work. The location is fantastic, right downtown across from the ice cream shop and a block from the beach and park/playground. We would definitely return to Northport and the Post Office Box 1 for a future stay.
