building, and crossing the sand to the beach, you feel the
contagious smiles and happy atmosphere here. The beach, as usual,
is not crowded. The sand feels so nice between your toes and
massages your feet. After a refreshing swim, you drop your towel,
lie down, and the sun's rays start penetrating every muscle, every
pore. You are cool and comfortable yet you are melting into the
sand. You are starting to unwind.

What
To Wear 
The Frankfort Elberta community, and Traverse City in general, is a casual place where casual dress prevails. Dress is not a worry here. You can wear the same clothes any time during the year.
Shorts and
T-shirts are a must. A hat is important to prevent a sunburn. You
will probably want sneakers to make all your walking comfortable.
And sandals or rubber thongs are great for the beach and surf.
Sweats are great for lounging around the unit, especially in the
evening. After the sun goes down you will often need a light jacket
or sweatshirt for outside.
What to bring
The unit has everything you will need for your stay - short of your clothes and personal items. All linens are provided. The kitchen has everything you will need for cooking and serving. There may be a few staples like sugar, and a few spices in the pantry, but you will need to stop at the local market or grocery store to pick up your food items There are some books, puzzles, games, card decks for you, but you should bring any of your favorites that you cannot live without. There will be a few of the essentials - like soap, coffee filters, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. - for you to get started. But you will need to buy or bring these items to use during your stay. By the way, you may want to bring binoculars for viewing the sights.
