Perfect location. Being just a block away from the main street made it easy to walk to shops and restaurants but far enough away to not hear any traffic noise at night. Would definitely stay here again next time we're in the area.

Excellent place to stay! Clean, very comfortable and right in town.

We had a great experience staying in unit #1! Had all the amenities, lots of room, very clean and welcoming. The hot tub, grill and court yard were a awesome bonus! Highly recommended place to stay in Moab. Thank you!

Great location and great amenities

We spent three nights in Moab and this was the perfect base. Check in was a breeze and communication with our host and property manager was excellent. The location is just off the main street, which made for easy walking for dining and shopping. The hot tub was a welcomed treat after a long day of hiking. The apartment had everything we needed.

The rooms were very clean and nice. Perfect location for walking to town and restaurants. We had some difficulty getting our second payment to go through VRBO which caused some confusion about our check-in. The host was a bit rude and blamed us for this, but the manager who helped us was great.

Good place in a fun town.

Just 2 blocks away from the start of downtown, this is a good place to stay in Moab for a few days. Loved the hot tub on the property, that was a great way to unwind after days of hiking. The robes were a nice touch, too. Lastly, I have never stayed in any rental that had better quality bedsheets than this.

SUPER NICE - CLOSE TO TOWN - EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE

Just left an idyllic cottage right near downtown Moab. So close, yet amazingly quiet and peaceful. The garden is delightful and feels lush & cool, despite high temps. The house itself felt cozy but not cramped. The AC ran just right and kept us cool. Beds were super comfy. Just perfect.

Fabulous stay

This was the perfect home base for our trip to Moab. Close to downtown and the main highway through town. Neighborhood was quiet as indicated. Rental is cute and as advertised. Host quickly responded to questions. Rental was clean and comfortable. Rental does have Wifi but it seemed a bit spotty. Would definitely stay again.

The surrounding area bumps this property’s rating. The property itself is old and nothing works quite right. Communication with the property owner was atrocious and the worst experience I’ve ever had while traveling. I would not recommend.

The owner of the property was so dishonest. I hope VRBO looks into her. If I had not taken snapshots of the screen pictures she would have never refunded my money. She deleted the texts and agreements we had made and increased the price. I did not stay there and I hope no one else is taken advantage of by her.

Our group of 7 lady mountain bikers rented units 1 and 2 after riding our bikes from Telluride. We were so thrilled with the apartments! Spotless, comfortable, filled with all the amenities. LocAtion is incredible. Hot tub is clean and large. Yard is huge and lush. Thank you!

Comfortable launch pad for the area

We really enjoyed staying here, and would stay here again on our next trip to the area. The location is excellent for walking to everything in Moab. The yard is adorable, and the decor was very cute. Also, the master bed was very comfortable, which we greatly appreciated after being active all day.
