Vacation rentals with beach access in Carver County

This home is located in a beautiful area, close to everything. We loved the historic nature of the home. Everything was clean and well cared for. The beds were comfortable. Nancy greeted us when we walked in and was very friendly and accommodating! Definitely would stay here again!

This place was great for us while we were in town for my husband’s work. We loved the Uptown neighborhood and enjoyed walking to coffee shops and dinner spots. The place was spotless and had everything we needed! The bedrooms were a little small, but that wasn’t an issue for us. Would definitely stay here again!!

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.

Allison’s place was great! Very cute vintage decor throughout the apartment and it felt very cozy and like home throughout my stay. Very easy to find and in a great location, was able to take a nice walk around the lakes every day. No issues with parking at all, there is plenty of street parking immediately outside the front door. Allison provided detailed instructions regarding check in on the day of my reservation which made the whole process easy.

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.

This location was fantastic for our family of 3! The home is lovely, immediately felt comfortable and we were able to enjoy the outdoor deck area so much! For families, this is a fantastic location. 2 blocks to the beach, one block to nice park on a quiet street and the hosts were amazing at having the home baby proofed and ready for our arrival. Overall, it was the little touches and kind hosts that make this place truly stand out, can’t wait to visit again!

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!

Chelsea was so communicative and helpful in setting up a wonderful girls weekend getaway. The house was absolutely perfect! It was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. We would recommend the house to anyone looking to explore Excelsior and the surrounding Minnetonka area.

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.
