Nice home. Host was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again. One note: fourth bedroom does not have a door between it and the downstairs living area, just a curtain. It was fine for us, but worth pointing out.

We choose this property for a low key girls weekend and we were not disappointed! When we arrived at the property the host had turned on a couple lights and some music on in the home which was appreciated since it was dark outside. The house was very clean and the space was comfortable and gave plenty of room for us to spread out. The location on this property was perfect for us as it was right in the middle of everything we had planned to do. The kitchen had adequate items for us as we did some light cooking, the salt and pepper was appreciated. The added items like coffee, soap and shampoo was also a nice added touch. We thought it may be noisy so close to the airport but that was not an issue at all. We had good communication with the host prior to our arrival and using our phone number for the door code was also great- no more fumbling to find a code back to get into the house. We would not hesitate to book this property again in the future. Thank you for a nice stay!

Scott was an amazing host. The listing was very accurate and the place is very clean, in a nice neighborhood, and very very roomy. Although we only stayed for 1 night, I would have loved to enjoy the property for more. I would highly recommend Scott's home.

My partner and I spent the weekend in Des Moines to celebrate our anniversary, and this property immediately stood out when we were searching for a place to stay. It’s a beautiful home with a spacious, comfortable kitchen and plenty of living space throughout. The main bathroom is impressively large—almost the size of a living room!I especially appreciated the wrap-around driveway, which made coming and going very convenient, particularly for shorter stays. The large, fenced-in backyard would be perfect for families with children to play safely.The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, with minimal traffic and only a bit of background noise from the nearby airport. The home was spotless upon arrival, and we were pleasantly surprised to find music playing on the TV to welcome us.Check-in and check-out were both incredibly smooth and straightforward. I highly recommend this property—whether you’re staying for a night or an extended visit, it’s a wonderful place to relax and feel at home.

Clean and cozy. The house was centrally located in a nice neighborhood close to access in the heart of the city. I would go back to Des Moines just to stay in this house. The neighborhood is quiet. The backyard is peaceful. The city is beautiful. The beds were extremely comfortable. I have never stayed in a cleaner or more peaceful VRBO. The host was AMAZING! If VRBO used this property as a guideline for listings, it would be doing us all a great service.

Wedding weekend

Worked out great to have our family all together rather than multiple hotel rooms. Plenty of stretching out room. Kitchen was great for cooking and baking. Scott was very responsive to my many questions about what kitchen items were there. Well stocked kitchen. If he didn’t have an item, he was very accommodating to get what I needed. Circle drive was great to reduce cars on the street. Great deck but too hot to enjoy! Will definitely use this location again!
