Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Bloomington

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.

Shoni is a great host and easy to communicate with! The home was perfect for our trip (visiting family) and very clean. Location is very close to airport and near the light rail and a bus that go to downtown. Recommend Rick’s coffee, Asa’s bagels and Crema cafe in the neighborhood! Neighborhood is peaceful, safe, and lovely to walk around. Would definitely stay again.

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!

I absolutely LOVED this place! Hands down the best and most spacious air b n b I have stayed in! And the price was GREAT for the amount of space this place has. The yard is very spacious and my little ones had a lot of room to play and enjoy themselves. The beds were comfortable, every room has a flat screen tv with Roku in it. 8 minutes away from Mall of America. Lots of dining options less than 10 minutes away. Neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I hope to be able stay here every time my family and I come to Minnesota. Not to mention the hosts are very proactive, professional, and responsive!

This Airbnb was fantastic. Incredibly clean, and spacious with essentially 3 living areas. The linens were all very fresh and the home was family friendly with a pack and play, high chair, a few kids books, and games. I’d highly recommend.

This was the second time staying at Jie's while visiting family. The bed is very comfortable and we got a great nights sleep. This is a side by side, but we never heard the neighbors. We will be staying at Jie's next time we are visiting the area.

Easy to find, and Becky was super responsive & upfront about a fix they made right before we visited. The older home had a lot of charm and our 3-yo enjoyed finding creaky spots on the wood flooring + the puzzle they had in the unit!! We would definitely stay again.

Nice little spot in a charming neighborhood. We enjoyed the private deck. The photos are somewhat misleading - the place feels a little older and more well-used than they imply. Bathroom is very small but serviceable. Overall a pleasant stay.

Nancy and Rick's place is tremendous! Very comfortable, well appointed, great amenities and the location was awesome. The place is spacious and cozy; bed was extremely comfortable. We love Minneapolis and will return here again. We loved walking/biking around the area (so easy!) with many restaurants and parks to visit. We've been to many, many AirBnbs; this is one of the best. We didn't see Rick but had a great chat with Nancy.

We had a fantastic stay! The space was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as listed/pictured. Tons of seating. The beds were incredibly cozy. Russell has anticipated everything that a guest may need and was very responsive. Instructions were clear and access was easy. The building is very quiet (we never heard the neighbors, outdoor noise, or overhead airplanes). The proximity to the airport, target, coffee shop, and food was perfect. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!

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.

Very nicely decorated place with many thoughtful arrangements. Close to several great local coffee shops, breakfast diners and traditional bars!

What a wonderful apartment! It is spacious, beautifully and very peacefully decorated, tons of windows, and all of the amenities with thoughtful touches like phone chargers, extra towels, nice linens, and coffee/tea - a very soothing and comfortable space for my 2-night trip to Minneapolis, with space to work and space to stretch out and relax.

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!

Within walking distance to one of the nicest art museums I’ve ever seen, this place was just what we were looking for during our brief but eventful stay in Minneapolis! So many great restaurants, museums, and more to visit all within a very short drive or walk from this cozy room with a great view. Would definitely stay here again!

This was my second visit to Patricia’s air BnB, it is very clean and quiet. A great use of space with lovely, welcoming touches from the luxurious towels and linens to the coffee, tea and hot cocoa bar in the kitchen area. This is my go to place whenever I have the opportunity to visit my family in Minneapolis.

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!

This place was exactly what we needed. Super responsive hosts (within 10 min every time!). We felt right at home. Fast WiFi for work, beautiful and great location for restaurants, bike paths and even some clubs near by. We were very happy with our stay. Can’t wait to stay again.

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!

There was one issue with the tub and bath sink drain. They had someone out the next morning. Very responsive. The communication was also very good, again very responsive with any questions I had.

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!
