Vacation rentals in Des Moines

Angela's place was the perfect stop for our Midwest road trip. Lots of space for the family and a wonderfully stocked kitchen that made saving some money on dinner a breeze. Angela was friendly and very easy to communicate with.

Deb and Mark have a lovely home and were great hosts. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We appreciated the book with recommendations for the area. Deb and Mark were responsive to our questions and made us feel very welcome. A great stay!

Airbnb was a very quiet and safe location. Close to plenty of restaurants and gas stations. Quick access to interstate to travel. Host was very responsive and friendly. Lots of rooms and was clean. Great experience! Highly recommend.

The unit was clean! We appreciate that! It was easy to find & within walking distance to a few restaurants & attractions. Parking on street was available.

We had a great stay! Timothy is extremely responsive and helpful. Fantastic place for a big group!

Great location in the East Village. Close to restaurants and bike trails. Lots of things to walk to or bike to. Building and unit were clean and quiet.

This was a meet in the middle location for my my family and it was perfect. The place was super cute and had tons of character. we absolutely loved our stay. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

This is the second time we have stayed with Clinton and Jackie and both times were amazing. Home was perfect for our family as far as rooms, and the fact that it is dog friendly is a HUGE plus. They communicate very well, are responsive and have a great well maintained home that is in the middle of everything in Des Moines. I would recommend over and over again and plan to stay with them if we have anything in the area in the future.

The home was a lovely place to stay. It was quiet and private with a nice yard for our dogs to stretch their legs in.

Very helpful to have backyard access for my dogs, beautiful eclectic garden. Very comfortable bed and although I didn’t need the fridge or stove, it’s nice to know they were there. I didn’t notice if there were any utensils or dishes besides mugs. Quiet neighborhood and great sleeping!

Thank you so much for an awesome stay! We'll definitely stay here again. The large fenced in backyard was a bonus for sure. Our little dogs loved being able to run around free without their leash.

It was perfect for a quick overnight stay with our pets. We didn’t spend much time in the house—just used one bed, took a shower, and only used the kitchen for coffee—but it had everything we needed. I’m not sure why, but I had trouble sleeping and only managed about an hour of rest. While the street itself is quiet, the nearby areas are more active with people and traffic. Laura was wonderful, and our pets loved the dog treats!

Cute duplex. Comfortable bed and in residential neighborhood, close to interstate. Appreciated the fenced backyard for the pooch. I would recommend.

Close to what we wanted to see. Host is generous and thoughtful.

We have stayed at this location several times while visiting our son who attends Simpson College. It works great for our family and will definitely stay here again.

my family and I had a great time. Linda was very responsive and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her property. the location was awesome,within 20 minutes of almost anything. thanks for the great experience.

Two of us in town for a memorial service and gathering of friends. The place was great-perfect size-two bedrooms worked for us perfectly-cute place. Minor point is a bathroom typical of these little homes, with a toilet literally right next to the tub/shower with only an inch or two to spare on the sides-made for some interesting "negotiating!" But as I said, this is minor. Shower great! Located in a great neighborhood, peaceful, safe to walk, close to a mall and restaurants etc. Be aware there is a basement tenant- took us by surprise but that was because we didn't read the description fully! They were super quiet and we barely knew anyone else was there. Their apartment is separate from the unit. Definitely recommend the place and Josh was quick to respond to any questions we had. Great front porch for sitting and watching the world, lots of windows, good linens and towels, extra blankets, easy on street parking., Keurig, so very quiet-we would rent again in a heartbeat....

Patricia’s place was very welcoming. We felt very safe and comfortable! Very friendly!

I LOVED staying here! The kitchen was great and we made some fun dinners. It felt like the dishwasher, stove and fridge were brand new. I logged into my Amazon Prime account through their TV and felt right at home watching our fave shows. The dark, original wood trim around windows and doors made it feel really homey. It was super cold, but the house heated up really quickly and there were 2 throw blankets which kept us cozy on the couch. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Molly was a great host and very helpful when we had questions and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable for our family. Her home was very clean, the furniture was really comfortable, and the home was on an active farm surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farm land. The home is also only about 10 minutes to Adel which has a cute little downtown area with several resturants and only about a half hour to the West end of Des Moines which had a lot of shopping and activity. It was a perfect stay for us.

Our stay at this cottage was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The setting was beautiful and tranquil, the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. One of the highlights for us was the thoughtful touch of providing games—we had a blast playing Pictionary on the whiteboard, which led to so much laughter and fun. The hot tub was an absolute dream, allowing us to unwind under the stars in complete serenity. But what truly made this stay special was the hosts’ kindness in moving the chickens (“the girls”) closer to the Airbnb just for me! Visiting them each day was such a joy, and it added an extra charm to an already wonderful getaway. Casey was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed and answering any questions right away. Their hospitality truly made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely love

It was amazing and definitely worth! I will definitely be back and I have already told all of my friends about it! He was an amazing host and the house was very clean! Can’t wait to go back!

Colby’s Instructions were very helpful and clearly written it’s obvious he is very experienced. The house was beautiful plenty of space to sit, sleep, and eat and in a quiet spot. The amenities were great having a dumpster there was very helpful multiple fridges and plenty of parking. The barn was very cool my guests were not expecting anything like that, we all had a lot of fun and had no problems keeping the place clean and following the rules.

The house was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. We had a large group in town for a wedding with many of us traveling from out of state. It was so nice to have the space we all could hang out without feeling like sardines. The bedrooms and beds were all large and comfortable. There were plenty of towels and everything we needed was already there for us. There was a lot of fun extras in the house and the game room was a huge hit with the kids! We LOVED it! Thank you!!
