Beachside Bliss | Airy Vibes and Island Views

Bliss out at Beachside Bliss! You’ll love the bright and airy feel in this fully renovated condo in the center of Bayfield! Beachside Bliss has plenty of space for your adventures: two bedrooms and two baths, anchored by a big common area, plus a roomy balcony with an incredible sunrise view of Lake Superior and Madeline Island. This is a view you could get used to--and with space to spread out, plus creature comforts galore, Beachside Bliss is a place you can really settle into.

Your host runs Bark Point Ventures, a vacation rental management & concierge company that specializes in properties all along Lake Superior's South Shore. We live nearby and are available whenever needed to assist our guests. Our passion is ensuring guests experience the magic of what we feel is one of the most amazing places in the world.

Beachside Bliss gets you right into the heart of things in Bayfield. You’re within walking distance of everything in town, so why not spend a winter day exploring all the shops and galleries Bayfield has to offer—plus a stop or two to warm up with great food and drink, naturally. And don’t forget everything there is to see from the balcony: your view out towards Madeline Island is good all winter long, from sea smoke and shifting ice as the channel freezes over, to the return of open water—always a sight for sore eyes—at the end of winter.

If you’re into skiing, Mount Ashwabay (just ten minutes from the condo) is the top destination in the area for both downhill and Nordic. On snowshoes, check out the Ravine Trail (it’s right on the edge of town) or the Jerry Jolly trails, just a few minutes’ drive from the condo. Bayfield is also a great home base for a winter drive through the snowy fields and silent woods of the Bayfield Peninsula

Madeline Island is a great place to go in the winter: between the ferry, the wind sled, and the ice road, you can get out there all season long, and it’s just as beautiful with snow and ice as you imagine.

Beachside Bliss is a great spot for a quick getaway, but it’s also got enough space for a longer stay by the lake. The unit is anchored by its common area, with an electric fireplace for effortless warmth and ambience. There's a leather sofa sectional facing the fireplace (and a 65" smart TV), plus another sofa and an easy chair, plus a roomy walk-in closet in the entryway. The common area flows into a lovely corner dining nook with windows on two sides for some beautiful natural light. There's seating for six at the table, and bar seating for two more. The kitchen features all-new stainless appliances and plenty of gorgeous marble countertop space. It’s outfitted with everything you need to whip up a feast with all the amazing local food you can find around Bayfield! Open the closet along the corridor between the kitchen and the entryway and you'll find a washer and dryer--another feature that makes this place great for extended stays!

Through the glass doors in the common area you’ll find the balcony. This is yet another great hangout spot: there’s a table with seating for six, perfect for an outdoor meal, and there’s even room left for two chaise longues. Whether you’re eating or lounging, you’ll definitely want to spend a lot of time out here: the view is incredible! You’re looking across the North Channel that separates Madeline Island from Basswood Island to the north: watch the sailboats come and go from the marina, watch the ferry on its way to Madeline and back, or just watch the waves.

The master bedroom has a king bed, nightstands, dresser, and two closets. You’ll find an en suite bath with a beautiful shower, with tile walls and a glass door. There’s also a surprise: open the door in the corner and you’ll find a second balcony with two chairs and a table—just the spot for some quiet time with your morning coffee.

The second bedroom has a queen bed plus a twin—perfect for a family! There’s also a cute little reading nook with an easy chair and a window for some natural light. With a dresser and two closets, there’s no shortage of storage space here either!

The main bathroom, in the hallway opposite the entryway, has all-new fixtures, including a beautiful shower with tile walls and a glass door.
