Great location

We were here to help our daughter move. The apartment is in the same complex which was very helpful. There is plenty to do if here for vacation. The two state parks we went to were fairly close and nice. There are many stores, a mall, and plenty of restaurants within a ten minute drive. Des Moines is 20-30 minutes.

Wouter W.

Liked: Listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Overall rating: Communication: We experienced significant communication issues. We attempted to call multiple numbers provided (including the number on the VRBO listing and in the security deposit email), left several urgent voicemails, and even contacted VRBO support for assistance, but we did not receive any response. Because of this, we had to make a last-minute booking elsewhere and incurred additional costs.Cleanliness: Although we did not stay overnight, we entered the apartment briefly to document its condition. During our walkthrough, we noticed cleanliness concerns such as a dirty refrigerator, a damaged microwave door, and personal items left behind in the bathroom from a previous guest. Some areas did not appear to have been cleaned thoroughly.Accuracy / Responsiveness: Our original request changed due to an emergency, and we tried to reach the owner to verify pet options and inquire about larger units for a two-week stay. Unfortunately, we received no reply despite repeated attempts and communication through VRBO.Comments:We appreciate the explanation regarding the host relocating from Europe, but a simple timely response would have prevented the confusion, multiple outreach attempts, and the need to book elsewhere. While we cannot review the stay experience itself (we did not end up using the apartment), we want future guests to be aware that communication delays may occur.

Why they chose this property

This property stands out for its thoughtful upgrades, quiet top-tier location near Jordan Creek, and comfort-forward layout. Unlike standard units, it features modern design touches, a private patio and garage, fast Wi-Fi, and a fully equipped kitchen you’ll actually use. It’s polished enough for business travel, comfortable enough for longer stays, and positioned close to dining, shopping, and corporate campuses—without sacrificing peace and privacy.

What makes this property unique

Unique benefits you won’t find in most rentals: a Bluetooth speaker for easy music indoors or on the patio, a large umbrella for shade, a collapsible wagon/cart for groceries or pool days, and a basic tool kit for small conveniences. Thoughtful extras like these make everyday tasks easier and help the space feel more like home than a short-term rental.
