Good stay for our family of 4

The property was clean and well-maintained. Everything worked well for my family. My kids enjoyed the pool and the mall right down the street.

Great Space and Location

The apartment was clean and spacious and nicely appointed. There were plenty of supplies and we did not need to ask for anything. The apartment is in a super convenient location yet set back from the main drags - it felt peaceful and quiet. The neighbors were friendly and parking was ample. We spoke definitely stay here again.

Beautifully furnished condo in West Des Moines near Jordan Creek Mall. The owner was fantastic to communicate with and the condo exceeded our expectations. We definitely would rent from this owner again.

Great Place for visitors without kids

This property was great! It is in a very nice, secluded community. We loved the area it was in. The unit had everything we could need in it for our stay. I cooked several meals and was able to keep up with laundry! It was clean and beautiful. The complex was very quiet during the week, it did pick up some over the weekend. We are a family of four and I'd say this is more ideal for travelers who are either single or traveling without children. There are a few reasons for me saying this. There is only one couch and one TV. For those needing seating for more than two, this becomes uncomfortable and a hassle. Also, it is on the second floor, my two year old quickly learned how to unlock the sliding door to the balcony. The large kitchen island is great! Yet the only seating for it, is on carpet. For children and messy eaters this is not ideal! Each meal, I would move the bar stools around to the other side so that my children would be eating over wood floors rather than carpet. The beds are terrible as well. They were extremely uncomfortable. We would have enjoyed our stay much more if it were not for these issues! The apartment itself was great and very nice. If you can handle the things that were inconveniencing for my family, or they do not apply to you, then I would recommend staying here. It is a very nice place.

Thanks, Amanda! I'm sorry the unit was not ideal for your family. The listing photos accurately represent and show the units location being on an upper floor, the slider to the patio/balcony and the couch/chair seating in the living room. The barstools at the kitchen island are on carpet as that is how the unit is designed and isn't something I'm able to control. I didn't hear from you during your stay, but in the future please do reach out so I have the opportunity to make the bed situation right. Unfortunately, bed comfort and individual preferences are something that are hard to get right and are different for each person. Thanks again!

The Power of Coffee

Never under-estimate what NOT having a cup of coffee in the morning can do to one's stay... The place was clean, right across from the pool, a nice balcony, big kitchen & laundry room, welcoming to dogs. There were some loud neighbors downstairs one night, and I wasn't crazy about the closet being inside the master bathroom, but the TV was nice. The complex was further away from the mall than I had imagined, but everything around there is only minutes away from it. I would have given this a five star rating, if it hadn't been for the "coffee situation!" The very first morning, we tried to make a cup using the Keurig machine provided. It was full of water, turned on, plugged in, restarted, reloaded, everything....it wouldn't work (kept saying it needed water but it was full). We immediately messaged the contact listed....with no response. In fact, he didn't respond for more than a day, during which time we had to drive 5 minutes away, every morning, to get our coffee. When it's 6am and you have a business call scheduled, this is a big deal. When he finally did respond, it was only to say that he'd have 'someone look at it' but didn't specify when. No one ever showed up during our 5 day stay, so we had to do the coffee run EVERY DAY! By the end of it, I was angry. It cost us an additional $12/day for us to just have coffee, which is ridiculous when we were already paying to have it a part of our place. Not cool, dude.

Hi Laura - I am looking back at your messages and there are some discrepancies. You did message me about the coffee maker not working, however, the next message was that you were able to get it operational shortly thereafter. If that was not the case and you were still having issues, I wish you would've reached out again and not waited until now to let me know. Thanks!
