Southie Paradise: Minutes to Xcel Energy Center
Walking into Minne-GetAway's Southie Paradise, you will genuinely be amazed at the high end finishes, thoughtfully designed layout, and ambiance created through out the home with the zen-like color palette. Unique textures like the concrete fireplace with ship lap accents and tall beadboard paneling will draw your eye to the details that abound throughout this home. Custom tiled baths, stone countertops, and separate bedrooms on each floor make this home unique for your travel needs.
Did you know that South Saint Paul residents refer to themselves as “Southies”?! Hence the name; Southie Paradise! We truly love this space and hope you will too!
This stunning home sits at just over 1400 ft.² with one bedroom on each floor of the home and a sofa pull out in the family room in the lower level. We find that this layout allows for privacy of guests staying together. You can enjoy the open layout on the main floor with the gas fireplace or the large patio and flat backyard.
Please note that this home has a one car attached garage and the one-car-wide driveway is on only large enough to fit one large car or too small cars. There is off street parking however, the home is located half a block from the park and we’ve noticed there can be more street parking than usual on a residential street. This home is located in a nice quiet, residential neighborhood with watchful neighbors. We ask that you respect neighbors when parking and utilize the offstreet parking options.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO in South Saint Paul! The home was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. It had so many thoughtful amenities that made us feel right at home—from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy furnishings and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The attention to detail was much appreciated (make up remover wipes, extra towels, blankets, etc.). Host was very thoughtful, communicative and very accessible if I had any questions. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a welcoming and worry-free experience in the area!

Decent stay
It was a great place. Great communication and neighborhood. Only thing to comment on was it wasn’t very clean walls were dirty floor was dirty and bedding was layered. Like there were sheets under the sheets. Other than that it was a decent stay.

Great house !
The outside is a bit deceiving --- this house is quaint but larger than you would think --- they used every square inch perfectly!!!! The only complaint would be the bed on the main level is a bit hard and not real comfortable, but I think a padded mattress pad would solve that issue--we couldn't get the fireplace to work, but that was probably operator error!! LOL -- would definitely stay again!!!!

Super cute house with a ton of extras!
This was a perfect house for our needs. We were in town for a music festival and this was a great location. The house was clean and well stocked with everything a person would need. Comfy beds, plenty of space, and host was excellent with all communications. Everything went perfectly.
