House rentals with a pool

Comfortable and Spacious Five Bedroom Home
Beautiful large home was very clean and comfortable for our family stay. The grandkids enjoyed the pool! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you need to prepare meals of any kind - including grilling. Would highly recommend this to groups/large families.

West Des Moines modern mansion!
We rented the main house and the guest house and our stay was fantastic. If you are looking for a property where you and your friends/family can have a great time without having to leave the house this is it! Robert was easy to get in touch with whenever we had questions and everything was as described. We really enjoyed hanging out by the pool and cooking in the high tech kitchen. If we come back to this area we will definitely be renting this house again!

New Remodel! Family Fun House
Colby is responsive, approachable, and his ability to meet our needs was outstanding. It was easy to check in and out. Amenities were endless and the property had everything. Would definitely return.

Travel Haven - 6 Beds, 5 BR, 3 Bath, Near I-35
Would definitely stay again! We had a late family Christmas (meet up in the middl states wise) and they even left a Christmas tree up 🤩 we enjoyed a hockey game in town and enjoyed having the hot tub to warm up after! Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby as well 💯.

The Estate
Great location, very clean, and all the extra amenities were so appreciated . The hot tub was wonderful. Beautifully furnished and updated. It was perfect…we wished we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend!

Saylorvilla ~ Tesla Charger
I really loved this Airbnb!! I can see why it’s so highly rated. It’s so homey and comfortable, great for groups! Bringing our pups was a huge plus. Most dog friendly Airbnb’s aren’t that great but Jen’s place was perfect and spotless. The neighborhood was very safe and a great place to walk the dogs! We would definitely stay again!

The Cutest Spot in Des Moines
Great spot for a small group of people! The home was very clean and kitchen/bathrooms were nice and modern. Nice to walk to La Mie for breakfast. Flexible check-in was a bonus! Would stay here again!

Three Pines by Drake King Bed
We had a great stay! Everything was as described. The fenced in back yard was great for the dogs and we had everything we needed. Eon was great communicating with my messages and even went out of his way to make sure we were able to watch the Super Bowl! The other houses on the block are pretty old and a little off putting but we felt safe the whole time and had no issues.

The was an amazing place to stay in the middle of everything. Luis was excellent and answered any questions or concerns I had within minutes. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Des Moines area

Spacious Family & Friends Retreat
Beautiful home and a great location. Everything was perfect. Definitely a five star host.

Cozy, quiet, fully-fenced and just like home
The place matched the pictures perfectly, and the location was perfect between downtown Des Moines and West Des Moines. The place was very updated while preserving that “older home” feeling! The place was overall clean and the kitchen had ample supplies for home cooking! Nicholas was responsive and very kind! I would recommend staying here, and hope to stay again, soon! Great stay!
