Other things to note

West DesMoines VRBO

Did not like the VRBO message system. It would only let me in if I was connected to wi fi. The home needed more kitchen accessories, large mixing bowl, dish towels and wash clothes, and a few more fry pans.

Great location for what we needed.

We traveled during the blizzard and arrived the evening of 15" of snow fall. The property was very nice as expected. The manager communicated with us trying to ensure the driveway would be cleared with all the snowfall for our arrival. Neighbors were great when we got our vehicle stuck out in the unplowed street. They helped us get to the driveway. The city a short while later had the streets cleaned. great weekend for us.

Great location and accommodated everyone (group of 10)

We had 8 adults and 2 children staying for the weekend. Everyone had their own space and was comfortable. Beds were surprisingly comfortable and plenty of linens for our needs. Location of the property was near perfect for everything we had planned. If you have kids or pets, the yard leaves quite a bit to be desired. A little upkeep there and all's good. Daniel was "Johnny on the Spot" with communication so no issues there. Clean dishes were left in the dishwasher when we arrived and we discovered damage to the couch in the living...which we communicated to Daniel immediately. Other than the yard needing some care, I would recommend having some additional seating available. For a group as big as ours, half of us were sitting on the floor when hanging out or eating together.

Wonderful property. Perfect for our family. Interstate noise on master bedroom side but only bothered me, not my spouse! Didn’t use deck area but it looked nice. Host was very responsive. Unit could have had more dish towels and a broom but those are minor.

Great house in great location

Check in was a breeze and the space was great for our group of 5. All amenities were fantastic, the only thing that would be helpful was a few more pots/pans or mixing bowls in the kitchen. Outside of that we had everything we needed and quick access to shopping and restaurants nearby. Would definitely stay again!

Clean and kind

If it wasn’t for a few things they would’ve had five stars. The garbage disposal was broken (made that nasty). There were only four chairs and there were eight of us (that was a bummer). The blinds in the front of the house are all broken and makes you feel like you are walking into a house like that. Once you are in the house it was clean and the manager was responsive, but it was during the holidays so not easy to get things fixed. The furniture could be better.

Nice place

Property was clean and nicely decorated. There could be a few extra touches but overall really nice. Big issue was the bathrooms were listed at 3 bathrooms when it was actually 2.5. This made it difficult for 8 adults to schedule shower time.

Convenient Location and Great for Pets

We stayed at this property to help our adult child with a cross-country move to start medical school in the DSM area. The house is in a convenient location near tons of retail and restaurants. We also brought our dog and he loved the backyard and nice neighborhood to walk in. The owner was super communicative and accommodating in allowing us to have some packages shipped directly to the property. When a smoke detector had a bad battery, the owner took care of it in less than half a day. Great house and great host!
