Surfside on Lake Superior offers shared ownership of luxury town homes so you can live the dream of owning a home on the water at a fraction of the cost. Or, you can rent a Surfside town home for that spectacular vacation getaway on the rugged north shore of Lake Superior – America’s North Coast™.
Surfside on Lake Superior™ combines all the comforts of a luxury vacation on the North Shore, with the rewards and benefits of owning a second home. Our luxurious town homes are situated on Lake Superior’s edge above 780 feet of breathtaking ledge rock shoreline.
In addition to the town homes, we provide a guest services building, recreation center with heated pool, whirlpool, sauna, fitness center, state-of-the-art spa, and coffee bar, as well as a tennis court, guest laundry, and an outdoor grilling area for each set of town homes.
Cities, shopping malls and office buildings all sap us of our vitality. Nature restores us. Timesheets, to-do lists and the demands of balancing work and family life wear us down. Nature lifts us back up. Nature is the finest of nurturers. At Waves of Superior Spa, nurturing you will be second nature. The spa’s treatments and services are inspired by its surroundings, which are spectacular, pristine and holistic. The spa has a seasonally open café with delicious cuisine, to enhance the experience.
Surfside is the newest of the Bluefin Bay Family of Resorts, located in the breathtaking Lutsen-Tofte of Minnesota’s North Shore. Whether on a romantic getaway, a relaxing retreat, or a family adventure, Surfside on Lake Superior provides the ultimate North Shore vacation experience. You work too long and too hard to settle for anything less than a year-round playground for mind, body and soul. And that’s exactly what we’ve created for you.

Very relaxing environment and comfortable accommodations! The resort enables a feeling of seclusion while offering amazing views of Lake Superior. Our room and the facilities were very clean, which was great since housekeeping was only available upon request. Our room only had a mini fridge, which wasn't enough considering the length of our stay and the limited number of local restaurants. Our bathroom (which boasted about double shower heads) wasn't designed well enough to accommodate 2 shower heads, so don't get too excited about that feature, but otherwise it was a great setup. Perfect place to escape to when you need some R&R.
My husband and I came for our mini honey moon. We got married the day before arriving and checked in at 4pm, which is check in time. Our room, which was a suite, looked very lovely. After a night of dancing we decided to hit the jacuzzi bathtub in the room, which was nice and relaxing until a staff member entered our room WITHOUT knocking at 5pm. They never said why they were there but they wouldn’t close the door until we were yelling at them to do so. They never told us why they were there until they stood outside for awhile. Turns out, they were delivering flowers and chocolate covered strawberries which were supposed to be in the room before our arrival. We were so on edge the whole evening it was hard to relax. It’s very disappointing considering a resort rule is that staff aren’t supposed to disturb guests.
"Hi Emily. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and I am so sorry to hear that this happened to you on your honeymoon. If you wouldn't mind emailing kaye@bluefinbay.com and providing more information, we would really appreciate it." -- Surfside
We just returned home from our trip to Surfside/Bluefin Bay and we are already talking about when we can go back! My husband and I have been going there since we were dating, more than 14 years ago are enjoying creating new memories together as a family.
The amenities are great! They have truly thought of everything to help make the stay enjoyable. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub while the kids swam in the pool. We played tennis/ pickleball as a family, rented movies, books and games, roasted marshmallows and made s'mores (all of which are provided by the resort). They also have bikes for the family and kayaks you can rent as part of your stay.
The north shore is so beautiful! We went on several hikes and rode the gondola up to Lutsen.
We went to the Waves of Superior Spa at Surfside for relaxing massages and I had a fabulous facial with as lady named Trish.
The condos are modern and spacious, yet cozy. We enjoyed the view of Lake Superior from our balcony every morning as we enjoyed our coffee/breakfast.
We met family who was there for a wedding. They have been going since their daughters were little. Their eldest was getting married last weekend and she wanted to have the wedding up at Bluefin/Surfside because of the wonderful memories their family has made there over the years. I'm telling you, if you go once - you'll be back!
Oh, and you have to check out Bluefin Grille! The food is fantastic! My husband said it was one of the best steaks he has ever had and I can honestly say the same about the walleye and wild rice dinner. The kids both had the crispy chicken sandwich and have said that they wished we had those somewhere here in the Cities. Also, their cheese curds were some of the best we've had- I'm talking state fair good! I'm thankful we discovered their cheese curds on the last night or I'm afraid we would've packed on more than a few extra lbs during our week-long stay.
We missed the outdoor pool/hot tub overlooking Lake Superior, which you will have if you stay at Bluefin, but we loved the modern condos and everything else about Surfside. This was the most relaxing trip we have taken in years. The staff is so helpful and will go out of their way to make you feel right at home.
Check it out! You'll be so glad you did.
