We had such a great weekend at the Beach House - 1. This was our second time staying at this house, We have previously stayed at the Beach House 5. Beach House 1 is a great location! It's a quick walk to the bridge and Canal Park. My kids had so much fun at the beach. Heather is a great host and responds quickly to questions. We will be back!
This property was exactly as listed - clean and comfortable, excellent location for access to Duluth and North Shore. Loved the immediate access to the beach to watch the lake and take long walks. Our family had a great week here!
This is a beautiful, clean, and comfortable house. Wonderful spot to enjoy the sunrise and walks on the beach of Lake Superior. Short walk to the Lift Bridge and Canal Park.
I wish I had more time to enjoy this neighborhood and amenities! Great stay ! Comfortable beds and kitchen was great to have. Very clean and inviting. Thanks very much. I hope we can do a longer stay sometime and enjoy that too notch beach location and sauna!
This house is beautifully remodeled. Every piece of furniture including the beds were very comfortable. Heather is a fantastic host. None better than her in all my VRBO stays. Kitchen is nicely appointed and has everything you need to cook.
This was our fourth consecutive winter trip to the beach house. It’s always spotless and manages to be both cozy & more than spacious enough for two of us.
Heather and Steve are always kind and responsive owners… they left me a birthday card 🙂
Come for the sauna, stay for the sauna.
Property was as advertised. Well stocked with everything needed in kitchen, as well as towels and linens. Heather was very easy to communicate with, and accommodating. Location of house is convenient to the event center, shopping and restaurants on S. Lake rd. Also easy drive to downtown. If you like to watch the maritime traffic entering and laving Duluth the location is once again ideal.
Super clean and updated. Directions for everything was clear. Sauna was awesome. Basement games were awesome. Sheets and towels were clean. Easy easy stay. Close to canal park. We took our son for college visit and he had an awesome weekend. Thanks so much.
Everything about this stay was good from the moment we walked in & saw the incredible view up to the day we had to leave. The house was clean & comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked & had nice appliances. Bathrooms also well stocked & the downstairs shower with the extra jets was awesome. The bedrooms were quiet & comfortable. We used the fireplace in the living room each night. The deck in the backyard was nice in the morning with the sunshine. Great proximity to the lift bridge & across to Canal Park where we watched several ships coming & going. Would definitely return for another stay!
This is the second time that I have stayed at this house and it is perfect in every way. The host is amazing, the location is great and the house is clean and comfortable. Not to mention the million dollar view. Thank you, Heather, we will be returning.
Terrific location. Walkable to Canal Park. We enjoyed the beach and front porch. Beautiful views and lots of windows. Appreciated the amenities like washer and dryer. Local family in town for a wedding. Will stay again!
The house was very clean and updated. It was right on the beach, which my kids loved! Super close to canal park and we walked there several times. We are already talking about re-booking this home for next summer!

About the host
Hosted by Heather Pitschka
Steve and I (Heather) have lived in Duluth for the past 25 and 20 years, respectively. We call it home now and have a tough time seeing ourselves living elsewhere. Lake Superior has a draw and we've been mesmerized since moving here. We both love the water and spend a significant amount of our free time walking the beach, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, surfing, canoeing and fishing. We love this area and always look forward to coming home when we've gone on vacation.
What makes this property unique
You'll have direct access to the largest freshwater lake in the WORLD (Lake Baikal in Russia is largest by volume, Lake Superior is largest by surface area)!
You are 5 blocks away for the farthest inland port in the world.
You are 5 blocks away from one of the largest lift bridges in the United States. There you can view Ocean and Great Lake ships from less than 100 feet as they enter and leave the port.
Minnesota Point is surrounded by water and the Aerial Lift Bridge is the only point of access by land. You are essentially on an island!
