Huge corner lot, home is a 2-minute walk to beach, playground, and park

Newly updated downtown Elk Rapids home, the house is less than a block to the beach and to Veterans' Memorial park. Memorial Park features basketball courts, tennis, a huge playground for kids, and all the great traits of a beach park. The three bedroom house sleeps 10 and is a quick 2-block walk to downtown dining, shopping, and water sports. Outside, a huge corner lot with gas grill and yard games perfect for outdoor entertaining and with room for the kids to run and play.

Great house with an amazing view of Grand Traverse Bay. Less than a block to the beach, downtown, dining, and a huge park and playground for children. House has big backyard to entertain and play outside. In addition, this house has room to park a boat on trailer and is within a mile of access to Elk Lake/Torch River System and to the bay. Golf, snowmobile/ORV trails, and skiing are all close by. For those who want a city experience, Traverse City is only a short drive away.

Great Location for Last-Minute UpNorth Trip

The location of your Elk Rapids home worked out perfectly for our last minute trip. Very walkable to restaurants and the beach and pickleball courts at the park. It was also convenient for our excursions to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Petoskey. Communications with you and check-in/out process went smoothly. Would stay again if in the area.

Great Get Away

This was a great location to visit both Elk Rapids, Traverse City and Bellaire. My husband an I enjoyed all the space of this listing and could see bringing a larger group to this listing in the future. It was a great stay even in the non-tourist season.

Great location for our family trip

Nice house with plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 kids. Easy walk to the beach, and easy drive to traverse city and our day trip to sleeping bear dunes. The town of elk rapids, also walking distance, was wonderful as well. We'd be glad to stay and visit again.

Great Winter Get-Away!

This is our 3rd time staying in the home and we just can’t say enough about the home and owners! So quick and easy to communicate with. The home is wonderful! Perfect for our family. And we really love the town of Elk Rapids especially in the Winter. Restaurant and shops are located very close by. You can walk to downtown from the home. The home is very comfortable and well taken care of. The owners provide necessities, so you don’t need to feel like you have to bring every little thing from home, making for an easy, relaxing get away! We would highly recommend this rental and owners! Thank you again for everything!

Great location near beach and downtown

My family had a pleasant stay at this property. The location can’t be beat with a 3 min walk to beach and downtown. The house is as described, small and cozy but with 3 bathrooms to accommodate larger groups. We had friends in the area so didn’t spend too much time in the house. Would consider renting again.

Excellence in Elk Rapids

We thoroughly enjoy our stay at Steve & Tami's place on Spruce Street. Their cozy and well kept place was a fabulous base of operations for our trip to join local friends for celebrating St. Pat's Day. Four of us from out of town and our friends from Kewadin enjoyed a couple of meals together and time just hanging out in the comfortable living room. We took a couple of walks into town, and a couple of drives into Traverse City. A fabulous time was had!
