Kid-friendly vacation rentals in West Des Moines

This was a great place to stay! We stayed as part of a girl’s weekend, and this place didn’t disappoint. The owners were super communicative and friendly, which was really helpful! I would definitely stay here again! Check in and check out were also seamless!

Tonya’s place was great. It was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and very well stocked with everything I needed— including many thoughtful touches such as games to play and various kinds of coffee and tea. It was totally private and the beds were extremely comfortable. The back windows look out into a wooded area and one day I saw six deer resting under the trees. It was a short walk to the supermarket, which was helpful since I did not have a car while I was there. Would definitely stay here again!

this is an absolutely fantastic place to stay. Great views in the country, close to town with responsive and friendly host. plenty of room for the whole family with everything you need. I recommend this place for anyone wishing to house their family foe any occasion.

Overall great stay and great communication! Would stay there again!

good placewell worth staying at

Super cute house. Felt right at home. Nice neighborhood; minutes from downtown and expressway

We were in town for a baseball tournament and wanted extra room to be able to relax. We were able to have some home cooked meals, the kids were able to burn off steam, and everyone got a good nights sleep! Hosts were prompt and friendly with a water heater issue and were flexible with our checkout time when we got tournament details late in the evening. Would recommend and stay again!

Had a great stay at Jackie’s home. It’s was very clean and cozy. Our pups loved the backyard!

Great place to stay while in DesMoines. Carl is a 5⭐️host and was extremely responsive. House is a super cool space- very welcoming and comfortable. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Private patio is fantastic… there is also a very large shared yard and gazebo. Neighborhood felt very safe- walked during the day and evening. About 6-10minute drive to downtown. Tons of on street parking. Would highly recommend choosing this property

My partner, our dog, and I stayed at Greg's for a night while in town for a concert. We appreciated the clear instructions for check-in, recommendations for restaurants, clean space, and beautiful yard. Greg answered our questions quickly and communicated well. If we find ourselves back in Des Moines, we will definitely stay again. Also, we took his recommendation for Classic Frozen Custard - yum!

Great spot for a weekend stay! The location was convenient and we were within a short walk of food and entertainment downtown. The unit itself was spacious and clean. We will stay here again!

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

James was responsive and kind and the place was super comfortable. Two really tasty coffee shops within a ten-minute walk too!

It was everything and more Dan was a great host and his place was great would definitely come back again!

Excellent place to stay in Indianola! The place was very clean and check-in was super easy. Would definitely recommend to others!

Easy to deal with, clean, and thoughtfully stocked. There were cookies, snacks, and a full pitcher of filtered water waiting for me

Angela was incredible. She was friendly and responsive. Her place is great for an individual or a small family. I felt at home. I can't recommend Angela's place enough. It is a great value, and you won't regret staying there. Thanks, Angela!

Sarah was a wonderful host. Her home is very inviting.

Jeffry’s place was great!! It was a great location with lots to do in a walkable distance! It was also a walkable distance to the location of our concert which was super nice! The location also felt super safe which was great. The apartment was clean and well kept. Jeffry was super communicative and gave clear instructions about everything. He made sure to check in with how our stay was and was willing to give recommendations about whatever we needed! Wonderful place!!

Had a lovely stay at Jeff's place! The condo was lovely, nicely decorated and comfortable. We felt welcome right away with a nice card from Jeff and some snacks. We had everything we needed at the condo including a comfortable bed and pull out sofa and a full kitchen. Light sleepers may want to bring a noise machine or ear plugs as the downtown bar crowd can be a little noisy on the weekends. We would love to stay here again the next time we're in Des Moines!

I booked Kyles place at 9:30 @ night, thats pretty last minute, didnt phase them, even when i had a hard time figuring out how to get the keys out of the lockbox, Kyle answered and got me right in, it was beautiful and peaceful, just what i was looking for, thank you Kyle :)

NIce industrial/loft setting, clean and well appointed. It was easy walking distance to restaurants and bars downtown. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at this location again.

Great place, had everything. Close to downtown but 10th floor so no noise Had everything you could think of. Will be back.

Justin's place was perfect for my stay. It was downtown, skywalk accessible, close to event center, restaurants, grocery store, etc... The only thing that was confusing was getting in and finding the apartment. I'd never been there before. I got a little thrown off by the entry description: "When you enter the lobby you'll see the elevators behind a glass enclosed entrance. Go to the door and enter the passcode for access to the elevator." The elevator glass entrance actually uses an RFID keychain reader and the passcode given is used for the outside sidewalk entrance on the east side of the building. Then when I got to the floor off the elevator there are a bunch of blank doors (I assume this was an old hotel) that don't have any room numbers on them, so I was a little confused if I was in the right spot. I didn't walk far enough down the hall to realize that multiple rooms had been converted to apartments and that there are only about 3 doors on the floor that are used.
