Summary:

The Blue Water Retreat is a lovely third-floor 2-bedroom condo located on Downtown Traverse City's main drag and is just minutes from the epicenter of all things fun in TC!



The Space:

Welcome to the Blue Water Front Street Retreat. This lovely third-floor 2-bedroom condo is located on Downtown Traverse City's main drag and is just minutes from the epicenter of all things fun in TC! From its lively nightlife and nationally renowned food scene to its stunning family-friendly beaches, park, and hiking and biking trails, the Blue Water Retreat offers guests a prime location with lots of walkability and all the at home comfort they could want.



Located on the third floor, our guests enjoy limited noise interruptions as there are no floors above our unit. We also do not have an elevator, so this unit is more situated for active families and couples who don't mind taking the stairs. Inside our unit, we boast lots of eastern-facing windows and plenty of natural light throughout the open floorplan. Guests will find the large centrally located living room to be a great space for entertaining or for kicking back and watching a movie on our smart TV. The kitchen is also fully stocked and has everything you need to prepare a gourmet dinner or to cook a simple breakfast.



The large primary bedroom features a king-size bed with a full-size ensuite bathroom and a spacious walk-in closet. The second bedroom is off the kitchen and features a queen-size bed with a closet and a laundry room. There is a parking lot at the rear of the building with one parking space designated for this unit. If you park in any other unit’s parking space your vehicle can be towed without your notice. There is additional parking available at the Hardy Parking Garage at 303 E State Street. Parking in the alley behind the condo is not allowed.



Enjoy a stress-free checkout with no cleaning obligations—just pack up, lock up, and be on your way.

    This condo was perfect in almost every way for our family of 4. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms served us very well. It was in great condition - clean and modern! Having a designated parking spot was great, although if you have more than 1 car it would be a hassle to find other parking. The only thing to be wary of is no elevator for this 3rd floor condo. It was a minor inconvenience for us, but nothing that would lower my rating of the place - just really good to know/prepare for ahead of time!

    Overall the condo worked well for our 3 night stay. It was clean and comfortable. Most everything we needed was supplied. Several possible negatives in my opinion:1. Door to the building doesn’t have a lock, so anyone can enter. Prefer greater security. 2. 3rd floor walk up. Not an issue if everyone in your group can do stairs. 3. Door to master bath squeaks when opening or closing. Since the door is only a few feet from the bed, this can be bothersome to someone trying to sleep. The management company was responsive and good to work with.

    The property was very clean and well-decorated, nicely stocked kitchen, baths and laundry. comfortable beds, faced the back of the busy street, so not too noisy. There are white noise machines, just in case. The A/C was a blessing since it was hot wile we were there and the unit is in the top floor. Easy keypad access, good communication, the parallel parking spot is a little tight. There was a lot of construction in town on the road by the bay during our stay, but it’s avoidable if you go south out the back and then head toward town.

    Very nice accommodations and very well equipped with everything we needed. The unit was very clean. Check in went very smooth and the managers were very responsive. We love to hang out at Bryant Beach so the location worked very well for us. I would highly recommend staying at Blue Water Retreat.

    Really enjoyed our stay. Good location… walkable to downtown about 1 mile away. Clean and efficient layout. Not luxuriously furnished but everything you need. Cable was limited streaming but we didn’t spend much time watching. Place worked well for 2 couples and was a good value. Recommended.

    Lovely, clean and well furnished 2B2B condo in the heart of TC. Easily a very nice walk to the lakefront and downtown! The rental was easily accessed and there was excellent communication with the rental company! Would not hesitate to stay again in the future!!

    Nice location to softball fields but a hike to downtown. Parking in a middle spot challenging. Beds were a little firm. Light on decor but served our purpose for the weekend. Blue Angels a bonus!
