Holiday rentals with beach access in Carver County

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.

The peaceful and beautiful location of this apartment, walkable to Harriet Lake, can’t be overstated. The unit itself is on the top floor of a charming older building, in a well-kept neighborhood graced with towering trees. The unit itself had everything I and my two adult children needed — very comfortable rooms and beds for all, a well-stocked kitchen, a bathroom where everything worked as it should (plenty of hot water), and of course, that gorgeous outdoor deck right off the living room, where we spent so much of our time. We plugged in the lights at night and it was magical. The location meant we were close enough to walk down to Harriet Lake and then run the 3-mile loop around, finishing the run off with a beer or a delicious ice cream at the Bread and Pickle, near the outdoor amphitheater where, if the stars align, you can find someone on stage singing about love, grief, and redemption. So many great restaurants all around. Khâluna was fantastic — don’t think, just go!

Great stay and the place was just as advertised. Easy check in and Gurinder was very responsive and accommodating. A+

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The one-bedroom space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The shower was excellent, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The neighborhood felt very safe, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Communication with the host was smooth, and they were very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and secure place to stay by the historic lake.

It was an absolute pleasure to book with Steve & Helene. They were kind and helpful and their home was beautiful. I would highly recommend booking their lovely home to my friends and family knowing they would have a wonderful experience from start to end.

Location was convenient and in a cute neighborhood. The upstairs neighbors are quiet, but you can hear every footstep, since it's an older home with creaky and uneven floors. The second bedroom is quite small. But the home was clean and adequate for what we needed for a comfortable weekend stay.

Great find and value only a block from where we used to live when we lived in Minneapolis. Right next to bike and walk/run trails. Bright blue color made the duplex easy to identify in the dark winter night. The hosts were responsive which was especially great because it snowed during our stay. Exactly what is needed for a few days stay with a functional kitchenette (no stove). Off street parking available for the snow emergency parking rules but also street parking is easy.

It's a great location on Lake Street, close to top restaurants such as 6Smith and a short walk to shops and the beautiful Wayzata Bay. The unit is spacious and just as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and plan to return.

Had a great girl’s weekend! Felt right at home, and the space was clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed to relax! Access to the lake was a welcomed bonus!

We had a fantastic stay! The home is beautiful and felt even nicer in person than the photos! Great walking distant to beach/lake and short drive to restaurants/downtown. Highly recommend for a getaway at the lake!

Beautiful location and home, so close to everything and very walkable. The house is immaculate clean and have everything you need for a nice stay. Also, Donna and Peter were very responsive. We had an issue with the beds and they fixed them the same day which I thought was pretty amazing!! I would highly recommend this house for location, comfort, cleanliness, quite neighborhood, and beautiful home.

Great stay near the Twin Cities for a large group! Plenty of space, great outdoor area right on the lake. Would recommend for large summer gatherings!

That I can say I recommend it. This place is the best people. The place if you want something is the girls solve. And I recommend it if you want to save

We loved out stay at John's place in Cottagewood. Great location, beautiful home, well stocked . . . perfect for our family of five. Would absolutely stay again!

We had a good two night stay during our son's wedding activities. The place had amble room for all who stayed. The house gave me the feel of "returning to Grandma's old house on the lake". Only thing missing was grandma in the kitchen cooking. With all our wedding activities we barely got any time at the house but I personally enjoyed waking up and watching the activities on the lake each of the two mornings as well as gazing at the lights across the lake at night before heading to bed.

Jeanne’s place on the lake was perfect for our weekend in Excelsior. We had ample space, comfy beds, stocked mini fridge, privacy, and beautiful views of and easy access to the lake. We were a quick drive into the adorable town of Excelsior and an easy drive into the city for dinner. Communication was great with a smooth check in and friendly hosts. All in all a great experience.

Seana was an excellent, responsive host, and her place is cozy, clean, and comfortable. The location is ideal— right by several quality restaurants and near the lake— and the apartment is well equipped with tea, coffee, and a great spot by the window where you can enjoy them in the morning.

My husband and I were in town to visit our son. Stephanie’s place provided a serene, peaceful atmosphere with a beautiful view of the lake. Her backyard patio and flower garden was a great space to relax and visit in.

Had a great, comfortable stay. Cozy apartment in a great neighborhood.

I had an absolutely great time at Raul’s place! The place was very comfortable and had everything I needed to make my stay wonderful! He gave me places to have breakfast and was very accommodating and easy to reach since his store is underneath the Airbnb. If I moved to Minneapolis I would rent this place permanently! Thank you Raul for a great visit!
