Des Moines - Who Knew?
My wife and I had a blast in Des Moines!! Here for a wedding. Stayed 5 days. The property is a perfect location!! We were able to walk almost everywhere! 8,000 steps each day. The Capital, the Botanical Gardens, Fresko, Noce, shops and so much more!! All walking distance. The place is as advertised! Great vibe! Fun place to relax and hang.We’ll be back for sure! We live in the valley of the sun, Phoenix, and Des Moines had plenty to do that was amazing! P.S. The owners of the property were great! Provided all information in a timely manner and checked in to make sure all was going well.Cheers to them as well!

Unit was very well equipped and had a great downtown Des Moines view. Floor plan and unit accessibility was a bit odd but maybe this is just a downtown thing. Would have liked a TV in both bedrooms.

We added Iowa as our 49th state visited, with friends from Iowa as our guides. Our Des Moines location was perfect. Close to downtown and the beautiful capitol building. We spent the evening on the patio, enjoying wine, pizza, conversation, and our city view.

Amazing stay
"Our stay at this property was absolutely fantastic! The property itself was stunning, and the amenities provided were top-notch. We were truly impressed by the level of care and attention to detail that was put into making our stay special. What really set this experience apart was the incredible service provided by Tiana, the property manager. When an issue arose that was beyond her control, she personally came to assist us. Her kindness and willingness to go above and beyond made us feel valued and taken care of. We also appreciated Tiana's meticulousness in maintaining the property. The rooms were always clean and well-organized, adding an extra touch of comfort to our stay. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The beautiful property, top-notch amenities, and Tiana's exceptional service truly made our stay memorable. We would highly recommend this Vrbo property to anyone looking for a special and enjoyable getaway.
