Blue Water Retreat Walk to Beach Downtown TC
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.

We were in town for a long weekend for a friends wedding where the venue was in walking distance. Enjoyed the short walk to the beach and Starbucks.Would stay at this place again. Two thumbs up!
Property was clean welcoming and spacious! Easy to find and check in. Only draw back was we had 2 cars and additional parking was quite a bit further away.
We enjoyed our stay. It was walking distance to the lake and downtown. The property was clean and offered the space we were looking for. We would stay there again.
We had A great stay. The unit was everything we needed. It was clean and enough space for us and our guests. Highly recommend if you have a small car our rental was perfect for the space.
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.
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!!
We had two couples and were able to truly enjoy our long weekend for the 4th of July. We could walk to breakfast and coffee and we walked to a beach as well! The assigned parking spot was a great use during the busy time of the 4th of July Weekend as well! Great property and we had a wonderful time!
