The most perfect summer getaway in Minnesota must include one thing: water. Preferably a place that's right by the water where there's a beach and maybe even a boat or kayaks so you can get out on the water, too.

Now, that may all just sound like a nice dream summer vacay, but there are so many places around Minnesota with just that!

Each of these places is on the water, and they all include a beach. Some of the beaches are bigger than others, and the same goes for the homes you'll find below. Some of them are also more secluded than others.

Most of them also include something that will get you out on the water, which is great!

I hope these places will at least let you daydream for a bit about a summer vacation. Even better, I hope this inspires a trip for you! There's a little something for everyone.
