Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Downtown Des Moines

Veena is a great host, she responded quickly and was very helpful. The home was clean and neat and had everything we needed. This home can accommodate a large group easily, with 7 adults it didn’t feel like we were ever fighting for space. We stayed during the Des Moines marathon. Between the deck space, the spacious upstairs, and the living spaces there was more than enough room to come together or separate and relax. The house is located just outside of downtown and there is a grocery store close by. We were fortunate to be able to eat home cooked meals for most of our time there thanks to all of the amenities. We brought a propane tank to use the grill one night and cooked up many meals in advance. This is a great choice for families or groups!

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

Great place to stay. Super convenient to Drake and downtown Des Moines. We liked that there were grocery stores really close too. Hosts were great and we appreciated their flexibility. Cute place with a little character.

We stayed here for a cheer competition at the fairgrounds. It worked out perfectly to not fight the parking lots and were able to walk across the street! It was a great location and close by to things we are interested in. House was well kept, nice and clean! The neighbors were very friendly as well. Thanks for the great stay!

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

What a beautiful welcoming home. This place was fantastic! The location was ideal and everything we needed to have the best Thanksgiving. We loved all of the space and privacy this lot had and the dogs loved it too! I come across a lot of places that seem to be missing the necessities you need for a comfortable stay, but this place has everything you could ever need. Thank you all for being great hosts!

Seth's place is clean and neat, looking very similar to the pictures posted online. We loved walking the path along the river (at the rear of the house) to a brewery nearby. Everything was as expected and we had a great weekend! Would stay there again.

Stayed a week for the State Fair. Very clean, well stocked and mostly new/renovated. Beds were comfy. One was considerably low to the floor, about 8”, a little tuff getting up & down. The driveway and street is narrow. Neighbors parked on street made backing out difficult with large truck. Disappointed with the screened in back patio. It was uncharacteristically dirty with leaves and debris. Washer & dryer in basement, well lit and very clean. WiFi worked great. Plenty of hot water. We would stay again.

Great place to stay! Highly recommend. It has everything I needed + more. There was a few glitch things that happened that Josiah addressed right away making it as smooth as possible. Thank you! Would stay here again.

Some of the rugs have curled edges that create a trip hazard. Had problems with tv’s.

Very comfortable king size bed. Quiet apartment and felt safe and at home there. Very clean and had everything I needed. I will definitely stay again when I’m back in Iowa.

Awesome stay! Perfect area for food and shopping! Definitely recommend to any of my colleagues when working again in the area!

We were a group of 11 and Jody was very helpful with our last min plans after another AirBnb cancelled on us last min. This is a yearly even that we do in Des Moines and look forward to booking from him in the future.

What a gem! From the time I booked the accommodations to the time we checked out everything was perfect. I know we will be back in West DesMoines and will definitely check to see if this unit is available. It was so nice sitting back in the room relaxing as our family gathered.

Great location...close to food, shopping and the RecPlex. Townhouse was immaculate and exactly like the pictures. Quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay again.

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....

We enjoyed our weekend at Alyson’s home! The backyard was large with a wonderful fence perfect for our pup to run around, and the basket of toys and treats for him were a nice touch. The home is just as pictured. We really liked the game options and shed as well as the multiple TVs with smart capabilities. We would definitely stay here again if back in Des Moines!

We rented the Love Shack for my sisters 75th birthday. We had a total of 7 people stay at the house and there was plenty of room for all of us. We had a great time and the location was perfect. Tiffany was a great host!

We had a girls weekend here. Was very comfortable, plenty of room and clean. Host was very responsive. Highly recommend.

Jane's place was the PERFECT set up for our night in town for a concert! Jane is so helpful and communicative! Definitely will stay again when I'm town for a concert or other events!

Queenuela's place was perfect for our group. The house is spacious, and the rooms were clean, with comfy beds. It met all our needs, and we enjoyed staying there.

Derek was a great host! He stayed in contact and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I would definitely recommend staying, it was comfortable with our guest count and we really enjoyed the house . The kids enjoyed the game room! Would stay again!

Great location in quiet neighborhood. Kids loved what the home had to offer. Was a comfortable stay! Thank you!
