Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Northeast Minneapolis

Sunset Shores is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew we had found something special. The home is beautifully updated with a clean, modern design that still manages to feel incredibly cozy and welcoming. Every detail has been so thoughtfully considered — it’s clear that Sarah, the hosts, take great pride in offering an exceptional guest experience. The location was absolutely beautiful. Nestled in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood but right on the Mississippi River, it offered the perfect balance of privacy and natural beauty. It was truly lovely to sit out on the deck or in the three-season porch and watch the river go by. The calming sound of the water and the serene surroundings made it easy to relax and unwind. I do not have enough space here to write everything I want about how wonderful this home was but I will just say Sarah the host was amazing to work with the houses and location are beautiful and I look very much forward to a future stay here.

This was a pleasant, serene and wonderfully quiet space in a very active older neighborhood. It was one of the best provisioned rentals we have used. The kitchen had an array of spices, cutlery, coffe and tea, and cold beverages. The environmentally friendly washer and dryer worked well. We were visiting for a memorial service and were pleased to have a comfortable and peaceful living area when family members dropped by. We were near a variety of food markets, shops, restaurants and a wine/liquor store. We walked to these, but noticed that most also had parking lots behind them, which would make it easier for picking up heavier loads by car. We had no problems, The one message we sent to Jonathan regarding lights on the Murphy bed was answered immediately. Responses to my questions before arrival were answered clearly and quickly.

super cozy! loved the vibes and all the retro games, music, art! backyard is amazing!

Extraordinarily beautiful! What a peaceful place to stay and creatively constructed. We hope to return soon! Douglas, thank you for being such a kind and generous host!

My friends and I had a great weekend at Arielle’s place. It’s perfectly located close to all of Minneapolis has to offer and is smack dab near a lot of great restaurants/bars/coffee shops. Would recommend this spot to folks

We enjoyed our stay in Minneapolis at Marinna's place! The space is comfortable and charming, and the neighborhood was relaxed and quiet with a great brewery within walking distance. We especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch/back patio, and the abundance of coffee supplies. Activities downtown were a short ride away. Would stay again! Thank you for hosting such a nice place.

wonderful stay! The house was in great condition and perfect for the needs of our family. We appreciated the pack and play and high chair available. the neighborhood is wonderful and we enjoyed walking to Lake Harriet most days. Only downside is there is no yard, but we were able to spend our time walking to the lake pavilion or a local park which kept our toddler occupied.

Emily’s place is easily one of my favorite Airbnbs to date. It’s super cute, cozy, and extremely comfortable. Her place encompasses so many things I miss about Minneapolis - Nordeast specifically. It’s in such a prime spot, with abundant parking, in a gorgeous and welcoming neighborhood, with some of the neatest parts of the city right at your fingertips. I got the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a really long time. The bed is unbelievably comfortable, and the entire place is so incredibly peaceful, it’s impossible to not feel content and at home. Emily graciously accommodated a last-minute booking request, was very communicative, and kindly laid out all needed information, instructions, and expectations both in writing prior to arrival and in a thoughtful and helpful binder once inside. I truly appreciate not having to wonder or second-guess any little thing upon arrival or prior to departure. I’m just sad I was only there for such a short time; it just makes me want to return sooner!

Great place, well situated. And I was able to get street parking each night. Thomas’ instructions were perfect.

I enjoyed my visit at Beth's, stayed for a week and the bed was super comfortable! Great value, I highly recommend!

We had a quick 1 night stay at Sara’s place, and it was perfect. The space is beautifully decorated and exactly what we needed to relax and recharge before our drive home. Sara’s recommendations for food and coffee were also spot on so that was an added perk!

The apartment was nice and quiet. Our check-in could have been smoother but the hiccups were my fault. A good value and a few minutes from Starbucks. Great hosts.

My friend and I absolutely LOVED staying here!! Julie was so kind and communicative and the airbnb was ADORABLE. It was close to a bunch of restaurants and vintage stores and had the best vibes. Would 100% stay here again in the future!!

John and Zina are terrific hosts and the space is perfect for a weekend getaway. It's well appointed and comfortable. Easy walking distance from Minneapolis Institute of Art, Eat Street restaurants, and shopping. Nice access to biking trails, too. Highly recommended!

A great place. Cozy but spacious. Super clean. We didn’t arrive until after 10 PM, but Susan was fine with that.

This was a wonderfully charming Airbnb that was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully preserved vintage details! My fiancé and I rented for a week to be our home base during our wedding week (my hometown, currently out-of-state). JJ was super responsive, proactively gave clear instructions, and was super kind to leave us ample snacks (got in late) and celebrated our upcoming nuptials with a bottle of champagne, slippers, and an adorable oven mitt, spatula, and cookbook. Definitely above and beyond!!! The location felt safe with easy access to highways and it was walkable to a great coffee shop and within 10 minutes from our rehearsal dinner and wedding venue. Great value and would recommend and stay again!!! The only minor thing to note is that although the upstairs tenant was very quiet, I was woken up a few mornings by (a dog?) running around upstairs excitedly. The dog was well-behaved/quiet but because the house is older I did hear its weight shifting the floorboards around.

We loved our stay at this charming, clean and comfortable unit. The location was great, close to the Macalester campus, coffee shops and other local spots. Also Jean-Claude was a responsive and kind host. We would definitely come back!

My husband and parents and I were in town for the weekend to visit our daughter. The area was perfect and centrally located for us. The condo was clean and well kept. Jason was very responsive to questions I had regarding parking. I just wish the weather would have nicer to use the outdoor deck! I would say the only downfall (and no fault of the owner) is that it was a bit noisy at night with people outside. However, when going to a city that is expected.

Karen’s place had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like home. The park right in front of the house made evening walks especially enjoyable. I’d recommend it to other guests!

Love this rental! Very peaceful and just the right price!

Place was clean and had everything we needed Looked like the pictures

We took a few days off to explore the twin cities and used the Airbnb as our base. The hosts were wonderful and were very proactive to ensure we had a great stay. The house was exactly as described, very comfortable, and also had all of the amenities we needed. Overall great place, great hosts! I would stay there again.

We loved staying here! This was a very comfortable apartment for two of us and it’s spacious enough to be comfortable for more guests too. I especially appreciated the full working kitchen, high efficiency laundry facilities, and great temperature controls, lots of very soft throw blankets, and ample WiFi. We both worked from the apartment and sometimes both had Zoom meetings at once, and there was never an issue. We hope to be back! This place is a keeper.

This was our second time booking with Lisa, however for a different unit. Again, it was a great stay. I enjoyed the coziness of this condo and quietness of the neighborhood despite being in the city. She has everything you need for cooking and baking. I work remotely and the internet speed was great. The bed was super comfortable. I appreciated the on-site laundry too. Everyone was friendly overall!
