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.

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.

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 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.
