Wayzata Bay house on Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota. This 4 bedroom , 3 bathroom house with 3 boat docks (up to 40' boat)is located on the South shore of Wayzata Bay. The house is only 25 feet from the water so we have GREAT VIEWS and EASY ACCESS to our docks. Our Beach has a SANDY BOTTOM and NO weeds - Great for Swimming. The yard is flat and 225 feet long, and its on a dead end street, which is quiet and safe for the kids to play.
Its 1 minute to Downtown Wayzata and all the restaurants, and another short ride to Excelsior by boat or car for more of the same. These two cities are where most boaters/summer activities are. Wayzata Bay is one of the popular lakes for water skiing.
The other locations on Lake Minnetonka are 20-35 minutes farther away from these two cities. Our House is on the south shore of Wayzata Bay in the best area for docking sail/power boats (up to 40 feet) because its protected from the normal Southwestern winds and power boat traffic - NO LOUD BOAT TRAFFIC (No Wake Zone). No waves or wind keeps the boats protected from large waves.
Our location, allows boaters to get to the BEST SUNSET LOCATIONS on lake Minnetonka in about 4 minutes. Its easy to get to this sunset location each night without a long trip over the water. I have been doing this on the lake for 25 years.

Map & Owner's Profile
Wayzata Bay, Lake Minnetonka House, 3 Docks, Near Minneapolis
Year Purchased: 1990
Why the Owner Chose Wayzata
Wayzata bay is the best location on Lake Minnetonka. why? Spring feed clear water, no weeds, and its got low speed (no wake zone)traffic, all close to the city of Wayzata. Wayzata bay is close to Hwy 101/Minnetonka Blvd where all the shopping is: grocery stores, resturants, hardware stores, excercise clubs, gasoline and wine shops/on/off sales. the regional mall is only 2 miles away and the best golf courses (public) in all of Minneapolis 5 miles away (Rush Creek GC). 1 mile to 494/394 which is the freeway circling the city. 20 minutes to the International airport (MSP). this location is beautiful during the month of September for fall colors and great weather. See my web site to see more pictures etc.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Its a 4 bedroom house with great views over the lake and a quiet street. Boating docks for your rental pontoon or other speed boats you may want to rent. Howard's Point rents the boats and are nice people.
Here you can get even more convenience stores and McDonald's and everything else. Post office and alot of small places to each.
This is where you will get everything you need to stay for the week. Excercise clubs, Restaurants, grocery store/organic, wine on/off & Restaurant.
Major shopping mall and many other shopping centers and more restauants etc.
Maggie's will deliver everything you want after 5pm. good pizza and a classic short order restuarant. They have my address in their files.
Take the boat over or drive (2 min) to downtown Wayzata and dock at these public docks (10) in front of Sunsets Resturant. Walking distance to all the best places to eat and drink.
Its the best public couse in all of Minneapolis/St. Paul. 20 minute drive.
This is also a very good public golf course and its about 15 minutes away. Ask for Scott Bracke and tell him where you are staying.
This is where the boats go for food and outdoor drinking and watch the boats come in/out.
There are 3 outdoor places to eat on the bay in Excelsior. Boats come in here also
Owner's Map of Wayzata
I had to wait 15 years to buy this house because they never come up for sale on Wayzata bay. Wayzata bay, on Lake Minnetonka is close to the city of Wayzata and downtown Minneapolis. Everything you want to buy, like food etc. is just 1/2 mile away. Wayzata is a spring feed lake so its clear and no weeds - great for swimming. I have been renting this house for only 1 year, but I have been renting out my other homes in Naples, Florida for 8 years so I am organized and know what people want when on vacation. Everything you would ever want is at the house because its my main house and I left everything in place to use: 50" Plasma TV (2) new furniture, BBQ and all the linen and kitchen equipment you'll ever need. You can reach me when anything goes wrong.

Overy the last 8 years I have been renting my 3 other homes in Naples Florida to people by the week. After all this time I have learned what people want and expect. Its mostly: pictures to show everything, clean everywhere, and new and high quality furniture. I have done this with all of my homes and you can see this on my web site which is at the bottom of the page. vanderbiltbeachrentals com This has caused everybody to come back the next year - and this is my objective.
