Thank you so much for the wonderful five-star review of Water Street Inn Unit 312. We are thrilled to hear that the accommodations were beautiful and a perfect fit for you and your boys. Creating a clean, comfortable, and family-friendly vacation rental experience right on Lake Charlevoix is always our goal, and it is great to know this lakefront condominium delivered.

Thank you so much for your wonderful five-star review of Water Street Inn 312! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay and that you loved the beautiful views, cleanliness, and convenient walkable location. Our lakefront condominiums on the shores of Lake Charlevoix are designed to provide guests with both comfort and the perfect Northern Michigan experience, and it’s wonderful to know that your visit captured all of that. Unit 312 is especially popular for its breathtaking views overlooking Lake Charlevoix. Guests often mention how relaxing it is to sit on the private balcony, watch the boats glide by, and enjoy the peaceful sound of the waves. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee while the sun rises or winding down at sunset, the scenery here makes every stay unforgettable. We’re so glad that you found your condo exceptionally clean and comfortable. Our housekeeping team takes great pride in ensuring that every unit at Water Street Inn meets the highest standards of care and presentation. Each condominium is thoughtfully maintained, featuring cozy furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Our downtown Boyne City location is another favorite feature among guests. With restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and the marina all just steps away, it’s easy to explore the best of Northern Michigan without ever needing to drive. Guests love being able to walk to Café Santé for dinner, visit the farmers market, or enjoy Friday night “Stroll the Streets” events during the summer. The combination of convenience and lakeside tranquility makes Water Street Inn a truly unique destination. We’re thrilled that you would definitely book again—that’s the best compliment we could receive. Our entire team, from the front desk to housekeeping, strives to provide warm, welcoming service and create memorable stays for every guest.

Thank you for your 10/10 review of Water Street Inn 312! We’re delighted that you had such a peaceful and relaxing stay. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the private balcony overlooking Lake Charlevoix and the calming sound of waves gently lapping along the shoreline. That tranquil setting is one of the most cherished aspects of our lakefront property, offering guests a true Northern Michigan escape with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. We’re thrilled that you loved being able to walk easily into downtown Boyne City. Water Street Inn’s location truly offers the best of both worlds—steps from the beach yet just a short stroll from great restaurants, local shops, and coffee houses. Guests often tell us how much they appreciate being able to enjoy a sunset over the lake and then head downtown for dinner or live music without ever needing to drive. It’s wonderful to know that you plan to return—repeat visits are the highest compliment we can receive. Our entire team, including Country, Chris, and Rachel, takes great pride in keeping every condominium clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Each privately owned unit is carefully maintained and beautifully furnished so every guest feels right at home from the moment they arrive. We also appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the half bath. While the townhome-style layout provides spacious living areas and that unbeatable view from the upper level, we understand how an additional bathroom on the main floor could add convenience. We’ll be sure to pass along your suggestion to the unit owner for consideration. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for recognizing what makes Water Street Inn so special—its lakefront location, walkability to downtown Boyne City, and warm hospitality. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another peaceful getaway filled with lake breezes, unforgettable sunsets, and everything that makes Northern Michigan so extraordinary.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place ended up living to expectations and more! The unit was just as pictured on their website and everything in the unit was squeaky clean. There was plenty of space for me and my partner to feel comfortable and the balcony with uninterrupted views of lake Michigan was a bonus. Not sure why this place is only rated as 3 stars, but it felt like a 4 star property with 5 star service. The next time we are in the area, we will definitely be looking to book this place again! Also, thank you to the receptionist for working with us as we ended up not being able to check in until after normal check-in hours.
