Cozy Bungalow w/Office-video tour-3rd picture

Experience the Perfect Blend of Comfort and Convenience with this 2 Bedroom Bungalow!

Looking for a cozy and comfortable place to call home while on summer vacation? Look no further than this charming bungalow offering ample space, and modern amenities. Boasting 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, this home features an office upstairs in the loft perfect for those who work remotely. Enjoy the tranquility of your surroundings from the nice deck with a Weber grill, or take advantage of the large fenced-in yard for outdoor activities.

Cooking enthusiasts will love the convenience of the kitchen with a double oven, while the sunroom just off the kitchen includes a washer and dryer, making laundry tasks a breeze. If you love fresh produce, you'll be delighted to know that the Farmers Market in Merriam (only about 1/2 mile away) is open on Saturdays, allowing you to shop for the freshest and most delicious fruits and vegetables.

For those who enjoy staying active, there are walking trails nearby, including the scenic Turkey Creek trail, where you can enjoy nature and get your daily dose of exercise. With so much to offer, this bungalow is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to call home whatever might bring you to KC. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds!

One of our favorite things about our home besides being such a cute bungalow is we are only across the street about half block from Grandstand Burgers. It's a good old fashion burger joint that you order online or at the counter. People come from all over. On nice days, you see people eating on picnic tables outside. And lucky you, you can pick up and take home easily.

We are still practicing safe cleaning practices by sending all bedding out for laundry service.

We own three other VRBO's in KC and we are rated as premier partners. Our other VRBO numbers are 797896, 2066285 and 970746. We also own another one on the beach in Ft Walton Beach, FL on Okaloosa Island.

Very welcoming and comfortable. Furniture was very comfortable. Hosted eight family members for Christmas Eve and Day. Had plenty of room and the kitchen was big and easy to work in. Great appliances and plenty of dishes, cooking and baking utensils and pans. Nice deck with a grill that worked great. Will definitely reserve this VRBO again.

Great Location for Baseball Tournament
We traveled to the Kansas City area for our son to play a baseball tournament at the Mid-America Sports Complex. The location was great...only about 15 minutes front he fields. The house is exactly as advertised very nice. It is in a nice little neighborhood with some nearby essential commerce (grocery store, Walmart, deporting goods, Starbucks, etc...) The owner was very communicative and accommodating. They let us borrow their camping chairs for our baseball tournament games. They also quickly resolved an issue that we had while there. I definitely recommend this place for a small family. Loved it!

Dogged for Fees!
The Host advertised as pet friendly. Then things changed, (as the Host admitted in writing a day before). Booking more than 2-months prior I received the Rental Agreement. “No pets allowed without notification before stay. $__ pet fee will be accessed if not notified.” Upholding my obligation, I disclosed a small 12-lb dog more than 24-hrs before arrival. Then it began. A barrage of VRBO chats & repeated calls ensued. The first volley was a surcharge. (Remember the rental agreement?) The Host admitted changing her pet policy after my booking (documented in chat). After I politely pointed to the Agreement, she changed, yet kept a charge. I questioned again, as I fulfilled my duty to disclose. The Host protested, in what felt precariously close to bait-and-switch. Vulnerable to losing housing, I compromised. The Host accepted—with acerbic complaints. All this is on top of a sizeable Host FEE. It is not acceptable for hosts to pressure guests to pay more than the agreed upon terms & a plain reading of a simple contract. Also, when staying Tues nights, you must take two trash cans to the curb & notes are plastered everywhere reminding you of garbage duty. VRBO help line was of no help. Something other than the Rental Agreement apparently governs, yet no one could provide written verification. If you don’t have a pet & don’t mind handling this Host’s trash, you may have a better experience. I’ll look elsewhere next time.

Good stay again
This was the 2nd time we've stayed here while visiting family in the area. It's convenient, and so nice to have a fenced yard for our dog. Great to have our own place to spread out in. There is a park a few blocks away that was nice to walk our dog to. Stores, restaurants, etc. are close.

Great for our needs
We stayed here with our dog for Thanksgiving with family who live nearby. It was perfect for our needs. The house was clean and comfortable, great internet, TV was fine once we figured out how to use ROKU (thanks to our granddaughter) and the fenced yard was large and great for our German shepherd to chase balls and squirrels. We plan to stay here again in May.

Lovely house with Amazing yard
What a treat it was to bring our doggies to KS and stay a week in such a well-appointed, beautifully decorated, comfortable home in Merriam. All appliances and fixtures work properly. The neighborhood is busy but safe. The back yard is incredible! We loved watching the chickens next door. Our little dogs had never seen birds that big! We struggled a bit with the TV and WiFi glitching/freezing off and on but not enough to cause a problem. Maybe it was the stormy weather? Thanks Debbie, for the great space to relax and enjoy! We hope to visit again some day!

Post Transplant required stay in KC
Host bent over backwards to accommodate my daughter and I. The property was exactly as described. Although we were warned there may be some traffic noise, it was very tolerable. House was comfortable and easy to keep clean. It was well stocked with plenty of towels, extra blankets and even kitchen appliances and utensils. Google Fiber internet and a desk in the attic so working away from home was a breeze. FIVE STARS!

Debbie was terrific! Great communication. Quickly lined up snowplow during New Year's snowstorm. The cottage is a perfect layout for a small family or two couples. Kitchen is well stocked and living room is comfortable with nice TV. Clean bathroom with nice shower that doesn't back up the water into the tub! A very high recommend for Kansas City.

Cute and Cozy
House was very cute, cozy and comfort. Debbie was an amazing and attentive host. She checked in via text to ensure everything was going smoothly and we didn’t need anything. Has a huge back yard with a patio. Quiet neighborhood and house was quiet despite being on the corner by a busy road. Super close to IKEA and was only a 10 min drive to the American Royal.
