Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Saint Paul

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.

Hello, this place was exactly like it’s pictures and description. It is a really nice basement suite in a quiet neighborhood with a couple of restaurants with good food nearby. It was a great experience! I would definitely come back if I am ever in the area and need a Airbnb! Thank you :)

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!

It was cold one night and my kids wanted to have a swim after dark. Samantha's husband came over and turned the heat up on the pool to make sure we could have a swim and create some great memories. Samantha was extremely responsive and flexible with check-in time. Everything was clean and beautiful. They also had nice sound bars and subwoofers on both televisions to make movies on the big TVs that much better. My kids raved about how nice the house was and how much fun they were having. Thanks, Samantha!

Hi Dayna, Thank you for everything. Your "Little Bungalow" was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed your well supplied coffee and tea station. You even had Twinings English breakfast my personal favorite! Your kitchen was well equipped and in general everything was easy to find. Thanks again. Best regards, Javier Cotera.

Scott's place was so well maintained and stylish. The deck was great and there was plenty of room for our family (2 adults + 2 kids). The neighborhood was also lovely - just a short walk to a park and great views of the city. Would definitely stay again!

Lisa’s house was welcoming, cozy, super clean and had every possible necessity. Quiet neighborhood, convenient location, responsive host. Would love to visit again.

it was great, simple but comforting stay :)

The place was cozy! It’s convenient to stay at a place that has large dining room, living room, and bedroom especially after a long day with the wedding party. Thank you!

A perfect home base for our travels around St. Paul! We felt right at home with plenty of privacy, and one of the cleanest AirBnBs I've stayed in for sure. Jennifer had lots of special touches and helpful extras that made us feel well taken care of. The neighborhood felt safe and comfortable, never an issue parking on the street right outside, and near plenty of good restaurants and coffee. Thank you for your hospitality!

One of the rare times I felt the place looked better than the photos! I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely book again when in Minneapolis. I felt right at home, it was clean, comfortable bed, easy check-in. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, the university, Stone Arch Bridge. Very good value for the price I paid. Note that there isn’t a washer/dryer in unit, rather the building had a room, use quarters.

Victoria is a fantastic host. I look forward to staying at her place every year when I come to Saint Paul to celebrate my grandchildren's birthdays.

Sara's place was beautiful, private and clean. In a nice neighborhood close to everything. She was also super sweet, helpful and responsive. The ideal place to stay if you need a peaceful getaway!

We had a great stay. The neighborhood is very walkable and easily accessible to all the major arteries. The space was really clean and we felt right at home!

Roger and Vicki were responsive, friendly hosts. They were eager to ensure that we had everything we needed and flexible in working with us for check-in and check-out. We even received some homemade baked goods, a delightful bonus 😊 The unit was comfy and well-appointed. We loved the ability to allocate our rental donation at the Shelter with a Cause. As an added plus, we got to shelter in the basement with the hosts and some of their family members when the tornado sirens sounded just minutes after our arrival! We appreciated being taken care of so well 😊

The location is very beautiful, very walkable, and there are many things to do nearby. The host was very responsive and available. I would use this place again.

It is as advertised, Studio Apartment, Pull out couch, right next to train that'll get you to downtown or Mall of America, and beautiful hiking for the Mississippi as well as Minnehaha falls was wonderful (12 min walk!)

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!

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.

We had a wonderful stay at June House! The condo was in a perfect location—close to shops, several colleges, and just a short drive from the airport, which made getting around super convenient. The amenities were quaint and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like a home away from home.

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!

As noted, everything at Garfield was as expected with no surprises. Pam & her instructions were clear and thorough; plus, she was also proactive. Needless to say, attention to detail is important. In the final analysis, that focus is what minimizes mistakes & misunderstandings, and helps insure a great experience. Also, the location is walking distance to Uptown, The Lake, & numerous restaurants and attractions. Check out Black Walnut Bakery, Pizza Luce, Lake & Bryant Cafe, The Breakfast Club, and the Bryant Lake Bowl & Theater. Enjoy!
