Fall Specials for Downtown-Bay View Condo
Year Purchased: 2008
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We chose this location because it is the best of all worlds. We are a short walk down beautiful tree-lined streets filled with wonderful Victorian houses to some of our favorite downtown restaurants. The shopping is fantastic as well. But then we are across the street from Sunset Beach Park along West Bay where the sunsets are phenomenal. Go in the opposite direction and F&M Park awaits you with grills, a gazebo where there is always entertainment, and beautiful flowers. The TART Trail begins right out our door where you can bicycle along the bay or all throughout town.
Owner's Map of Traverse City
My brother and I bought this condo because we have fallen in love with the Traverse City area. We are from Texas and our summers are insufferable. Our favorite memory of TC is watching the Fourth of July fireworks along West Bay in sweat pants and jackets! That is not something you can ever do in Texas. Our condo is decorated in a nautical style reminiscent of our homes in Texas. We have taken great care to outfit our condo in a style that showcases our concern for the discriminating traveler. Please enjoy our home as much as we do. Frederick Carroll and Carolyn Strand

A group of us stayed at this property in September and really enjoyed our stay. These are newly built condos and the owner has done a great job at decorating and making it feel like a home. This is a great location with the beach right across the street and a short distance from Downtown. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Traverse City! We hope to stay there again in the future.

A very nice 2 bedroom unit townhouse. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom, plus a half bath in the main living space. Assigned parking. Very nicely appointed and equipped. Nice neighborhood with park on one side and beach on the other. Just a short walk into town, but also very well located to get to anywhere. Owner has provided lots of info about the area to help you. Would highly recommend! Marc & Ruth Jewell, Dayton, Ohio 937-434-3699
