We rented Willow on Grand for our daughter’s wedding. The venue has a place for the bride and girls to get ready but not the men so we rented the house for the men to have a place to get ready and hangout. It served our purpose perfectly!

Great getaway!

First time using Vrbo. Host made it very easy to check in and provided contact in case of any concerns (had none). Nice property with perks like hot tub, outside area for fire, and several areas to view tv providing different areas for tv viewing/games for adults/young adults/kid. Nice, safe neighborhood. Would definitely stay their again!

I grew up in the Des Moines area and can say that this house is perfectly located in the center of the city, and is less than 15 minutes from every side of town. So many restaurant, shopping, and entertainment sources within 5 to 10 minutes, including downtown Des Moines!!!

Awesome property for a large family!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing stay at this VRBO! The house was super clean and conveniently located. It was perfect for our large family, with plenty of space for everyone. The host was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to check in early due to a funeral we were traveling to town for. Any questions were responded to immediately through the app. ALL amenities were fantastic too! My older children really enjoyed the hot tub. I recommend this place for a comfortable and enjoyable stay! We will definitely stay there in the future.

Waterbury House

The GOOD: Easy to reserve and location was a perfect. Just an FYI… for some reason, 2 of us had issues with our cars GPS. It took both of us to SOUTH 61st street vs just 61st street.Weird. Easy access!! Plenty of towels etc. Kitchen stocked. Awesome basement/bar/family hang out area. We did not use but is a great space. Plenty of parking. Hot tub looked clean and in working order. We did not use but it looked inviting. BAD: House was clean for the most part, except the ceiling vent above the shower had black areas… mold? dirt? Kitchen cupboards are white and could 100% use a good scrubbing or a new coat of paint. Pretty grungy!!! Used Coffee filter/grounds were still in the coffee maker. The garbage disposal would not run but we figured out how to ‘reset’ it. Blew a fuse when we had 2 hair dryers going at the same time. Only 1 bathroom has a plug in. I did message the owner twice with NO RESPONSE either time. Glad we didn’t have an emergency. Over-all an ok place and we would stay there again.
