Blue Water Retreat: Walk to Beach & Downtown TC

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 Hardy Parking Garage at 303 E State Street. Parking in the alley behind the condo is not allowed.

Very Nice
The property was exactly as described. Very clean and nice. Great location and walking distance to several restaurants and coffee shops. The host was extremely accommodating, we had a death in the family and they allowed me to shift my dates even though the cancellation policy stated otherwise. We were very happy with how everything worked out nicely.

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.

Great Location
The condos on Fourth Street were a great central location, close to all we wanted to do in the Traverse City area. We should have read the amenities a bit closer to remember to bring our own soaps and shampoos; but we were still thrilled to have all other items available. Pleasantly surprised by the quiet neighbors too, as I believe we were all tourists. Thank you for sharing this space with us. We would stay again.

5 Night July Stay
We were in town for a sailing regatta at Grand Traverse Yacht Club and mainly needed a place to sleep and do laundry as we were gone all day. The place was clean and quiet and safe for our small family of 3 to rest our heads each night. It is about 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City, nothing very walkable from this location. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. A few negatives - The assigned parking spots are very tight for a vehicle larger than a standard SUV. Typical VRBO, they require guests to basically clean the entire place prior to checkout despite being charged a cleaning fee. The beds/pillows were horribly uncomfortable. All considered it was a successful stay.

Nice birthday trip away
We came in town for my husbands birthday. We always enjoy our trip to Traverse City. He wanted to go back for his birthday again this year so we made this spot home for our stay this time around. The owner was very responsive, property close to everything. Only reason I knocked a star off was due to not having the right access code to enter when we first arrived, however management got back to me right away with the access, and the parking lot was very small. My husband drives a big truck and we had to park in our assigned spot per unit. We were parked behind other vehicles and I was nervous other stayers may back into his truck. Other than that I would recommend the location :)

Great 4th of July trip!
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!
