The Carol Anne - Charming 2bd - 2ba Victorian Home Near Downtown!
The Carol Anne. This Victorian-era duplex is the perfect mix of Victorian and modern for all the comforts of home. Perfect for quick or extended trips. Location can't be beat: Walking distance to Drake University. Minutes by car to downtown, hospitals, Ingersoll district and proximity to I-235 gets you anywhere in the city. Off street parking/electronic locks make check-in a easy. 2 large bedrooms w/queen beds, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, closets, and more making it ideal for multiple guests!
For a 5 night stay, the VRBO lacked Dishwashing soap, no Kleenex, and clothes soap. We did get about 5 Keurig cups. Was disappointed that we needed to buy insurance for breakage that cost an additional $90. As the place was small the cleaning fee should have more than covered the cost to have the place cleaned with no left over dead bugs, dust and dirt. The house behind the property has a rooster that crowed all day. It was like having a neighbor whose dog never quit barking. The owner was worried about scratching his floors but did not mention how uneven they were. The numerous levels were a serious trip hazard. People buy roller bags so they can roll them around. I see where the floors were a little too fragile for this. Just not a comfortable stay.

Great stay at The Carol Anne
The Carol Anne was a perfect place to stay. I was a solo traveler, however, this 1st floor home would be very comfortable for up to 4 persons. Very clean & had all the conveniences of home including washer/dryer. If the weather was a bit more pleasant, it would be nice to sit on the porch. If I come back to Des Moines, I will see if The Carol Anne would be available again.

Iowa getaway
What a cozy home. We had everything we needed. It was clean, had a fully stocked kitchen with a gas range and a full size fridge, washer, and dryer. Everything was laid out in a nice book with full instructions. It was great. Not sure if I missed it at booking but this is a duplex type of home we were down stairs and it was lodging upstairs we only shared a nice wraparound type porch. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to book it again.

Terrific choice!!!
This house is so fun! Very clean very well supplied with things you’d need. Easy to get to. Easy access with the key pad instead of keeping track of keys! The neighborhood is awesome so much to do within walking distance. Quiet and peaceful. The porch is absolutely the best part of the house. We so enjoyed sitting outside! We will definitely be back!

Great for State Track
We loved our stay. The property was clean and provided a restful stay that a hotel just couldn’t touch. We stayed here for the three days of state track and appreciated that it was within walking distance of the stadium. We went back and forth and we’re able to get out of the sun and wind between events. Very restful.

Beautiful Home near Interstate
A friend and I stayed at this place for the weekend. It's a cozy place that is beautifully restored and decorated with easy access to the interstate. We appreciated many of the "extras" the host provided such as complimentary coffee, tea, makeup remover wipes, etc. The kitchen is well stocked with spices, a kettle, a toaster, and any other items you need. The one downside is the unit upstairs; we could always hear them walking around.

A Good Place to Stay
Excellent overall. Clean, decorated nicely, snow removal done well, quiet, enough coffee, able to wash 2 loads of clothes. Wifi worked properly, good communication with the hosts/owners and it is close to downtown. Driveway is a little steep, one vehicle per residence in the driveway, both vehicles need to stay close to their side. And there is additional parking in the street.

Lovely Victorian
We stayed for four nights and had a great stay. Michael and Jocelyn have done a nice job maintaining the character of this Victorian home. It was very clean, great wifi, nice kitchen and convenient to all the places we wanted to visit. It seems as though everything in Des Moines was less than 10 minutes drive. Would love to stay here again on our next visit.

Fantastic experience
Everything about the visit was outstanding. The check in was clear, easy and flexible (we arrived much later than expected and wasn’t an issue at all- property managers quickly
responsive via email ). The house is quiet, clean, comfortable- A/C super responsive - and kitchen well stocked including coffee in the morning. Could not recommend more.

Relaxing and wonderful time!
We had a great stay! The home was in a quiet neighborhood, and easy to find. The location was right off the interstate, and less than 15 minutes from any place we wanted to go to. The home was clean and cozy. I would definitely recommend this place in the future.
