Water's Edge! Direct shoreline access; Condo with resort-like amenities

Welcome to Water’s Edge! We hope this becomes your new annual Lake Superior hideaway! Ideal for a couple or small family who is looking for an easy spot to stay while they're out adventuring across the North Shore. Or, just simply relax and enjoy your direct water access and an unbeatable view of the lake and ships passing by. We can't talk up the view and exclusive access to Rocky Point Cove and Flood Bay enough... this really is a gem of a place. Everything is Instagramable, get ready!

Enjoy a spacious 792-sqft condo-style lake home right on the water. A staircase and walkway lead you down from the parking lot to your private entrance with keycode entry. As you enter, you're met with a great view beyond the living room! Private primary bedroom with queen-size bed, and closet. Full bathroom includes shower/tub, toilet and vanity. Open floorplan kitchen with appliances and utensils for basic cooking. There's a woodburning fireplace in the large family room with large sofa, and seating to watch the view or the TV. Walk out to the deck to find a patio set for dining al fresco, and an electric grill. The grassy space is perfect for relaxing, lawn games and hanging out just steps away from the shoreline, or head down the rocks to dip your toes into the water, fish, drop in your kayak or paddleboard. Our cove is also gorgeous in the winter time, with views of the wolves playing on the ice as well as the excitement of wave season against the rocks! If you like to snowmobile, there is public access near the resort next door. Snowshoers can feel free to adventure around our property, or the closest places to rent equipment is at Splitrock Lighthouse or Tettegouche State Park. Check out Erkki Harju Ski Trail nearby for cross country skiing, or maybe Lutsen mountain skiing is more of your thing (1 hour drive north). Or, just bring a book to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the view while you stay warm and cozy inside in front of the fire.

Wi-Fi is included with Smart TVs in the living room and bedroom for relaxing with your favorite streaming services. We've left some of our favorite books and games in the unit for your enjoyment. Firewood is available for purchase down the road at the gas station. There is a property manager on site for emergencies, and the unit is professionally cleaned and stocked with toiletries, linens and towels between each guest reservation.

The condo is a part of a homeowner's association that covers 46 acres of wooded property and a half-mile of shoreline. Your stay includes access to all of the hiking trails, tennis courts and seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub (Memorial Day - Oct 1st). We encourage you to take full advantage of the amenities during your stay! Since they are community spaces, we ask that our guests be considerate of others on the property in terms of noise, trash and sharing community spaces. The property is next door to Superior Shores Resort that includes a steakhouse (open to the public), cut across the beach at Flood Bay to walk to dinner! The beach is shared between the resort and a public state park, and we are asked to leave the amenities on the beach for resort guests. However, agate hunting on the beach is fair game and we've acquired quite the collection from our years of visiting. Bring your bucket! Our neighbor kindly installed rock fire rings around the shoreline as well as a community herb garden, just for you. Please utilize them!

One of our favorite things to do when we're in the area is to drive up and down the coastline to admire the scenery and discover spots to hike or take pictures, or just be one with nature. Get ready to pack some snacks and explore! The location is close to some quintessential North Shore spots: Splitrock Lighthouse, Betty's Pies and The Rustic Inn, Black Beach, Iona's Beach (it's pink!), Tettegouche State Park and Gooseberry Falls. Our lakehome is located across the highway from Lakeview National Golf Course. Less than a 5 minute drive into Two Harbors to watch the tankers pull in and out of the harbor; grab a snack at the 5th St Malt Shoppe on the way. Very close to a grocery store, gas stations, boutique shopping and restaurants in Two Harbors.

You'll be among some of our first guests -- we just took ownership on June 14th, 2024! We love the North Shore and recently had the opportunity to purchase this home from someone who was ready to pass on the torch of their beloved family spot. We honestly still can't believe that we lucked out with this one; the location, view and amenities are unbeatable. This unit is great for crashing after a busy day or to disconnect from reality and relax with the view, and we have many planned updates to make it our own over the coming year. Our 2024 rental rates reflect the need for some aesthetic updates to the unit to make it look more current, but the view, location and amenities far eclipse any little details like tile or wallpaper. We hope that you'll come back again soon to enjoy, and often!

*There is a limit to 4 individuals staying at this property at one time per HOA rules. Although we love pets, owner is very allergic to dogs so we have to keep our space pet free. A note about the fireplace: please use caution. Depending on the wood used, it can get smoky and may leave a lingering scent, which is noticeable to some in the unit from past use.

Amazing North Shore location
A little slice of heaven! Right on the water near a sweet little point. The condo was very clean and well equipped. The owners put a lot of love into it and have plans for additional renovations. We had perfect weather and the colors were spectacular. 5 stars; HIGHLY recommend!

Awesome Stay!
Had a great week on the shores of Lake Superior. The view of Lake Superior in the morning/evenings were spectacular, from the deck, the couch or the kitchen! We loved the convenient location to hiking, great food and all that the area has to offer. Water's Edge has a well stocked kitchen, comfy furniture and all the comforts of home. We spent our days exploring Duluth, Two Harbors, Grand Marias and the surrounding areas, and loved ending the day with a lakeside fire. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful spot, so close to the water for a quiet time on the rocks listening and watching the waves. The condo had everything you would ever need. Very cozy spot for indoors and outdoors on the deck. We would go back in a minute. Nice to be so close to Two Harbors. Castle danger brewing is awesome and super one grocery store has everything you can imagine

We loved the views of lake superior and walking down on the rocks. We eloped and got married here and the host was so accomodating. The condo has picturesque windows and the kitchen is very well equipped. The pool was nice and hottub. We are already coming next august for our honeymoon.

Pleasantly sufficient
With the list of remodeling plans, I expected the space to be somewhat dumpy, but that is not the case. The jacuzzi tub (which we didn't use) can use new grout or replacing, but it's clean and the shower works fine. The furniture is ample and comfortable (we slept on the couch the first night so we could hear the waves); the kitchen has everything you need; decor is simple and tasteful; pillows and blankets make for a cozy hang; everything is clean. Written directions and photos of landmarks made finding the unit a breeze. Leah responded promptly to a question I sent. The large stone steps down to the shore are solid and safe to haul a kayak to explore the caves rimming the bay, or to build a fire in one of the three rings. If scrambling over a rock shore isn't your jam, a stroll on the roads or paths through the woods will get you to the glorious Flood Bay beach.

Beautiful View Right off of Lake Superior
It had everything we needed to make memories to last a lifetime. It is right between Duluth and Silver Bay so we were close to everything we wanted to do. After our daily adventures we came back, grilled our dinner and ate on the patio while enjoying the incredible view of the lake.

Relaxing Getaway
We had an amazing time at Waters Edge. The views were stunning from the condo. I loved waking up in the morning, grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting on the patio to take it all in. The space was clean, charming and very peaceful. One of my favorite things was the location and the immediate access to the water. We had beach fires every night and those are moments I will never forget. We cannot wait to visit again!

Great location and a lot to do on the property. The amenities are awesome and view from this unit is spectacular. Love being able to walk right out to the water. The unit was very clean and pics were accurate. The bath and kitchen need some updating but eveything was in good working order, and the furniture was mostly new and very comfortable. The host left notes about renovations coming up, and we look forward to those next time. Instructions were very clear so we didnt need to comminicate with the host much but when we did, she was very responsive.
