ABOUT THE SPACE
Welcome to our elegantly restored duplex home in St. Louis, where old-world craftsmanship meets modern luxury. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by gleaming hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and cozy, modern furnishings. The living room features royal blue sofas and a wall-mounted HDTV, perfect for relaxing evenings. In the kitchen, stainless steel appliances, white cabinets, and black solid-surface counters create a stylish space for culinary adventures.

With five lovely bedrooms, including a main floor bedroom with a king-size bed, and four additional bedrooms upstairs, sleeping up to 12 guests, everyone will find their perfect retreat. Each bedroom is thoughtfully appointed, and two shared bathrooms offer convenience and comfort.

Outside, a petite porch provides a charming spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverage, while a fenced yard offers space for kids and pets to play. For added convenience, we provide a full-size washer and dryer, as well as a high chair and playpen. Our property is ideally located just minutes from St. Louis's top attractions, including the St. Louis Arch, Busch Stadium, and Forest Park. Whether you're exploring the city or enjoying a romantic night out, there's something for everyone nearby.

THE LOCATION
Plenty keeps you busy in the St. Louis area, whether you are in town for family or friends. This St. Louis home is in a prime location, just minutes from all the best attractions! If you're traveling with kids, be sure to check out The City Museum. It's not quite what you would expect from a museum, per se. The City Museum has been voted a must-see destination in St. Louis.

Let's not forget our most famous attraction here in the Gateway to the West. You will be a 5-minute drive from the St. Louis Arch and downtown. Are you a baseball or hockey fan? Busch Stadium, the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Enterprise Center, the home of the 2019 Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues, are both within a 10-minute drive from this home. Be sure to catch a game—St. Louis has some of the best sports fans around! Maybe you're looking for a romantic night out? Be sure to check out The Hill for great Italian food, or head over to the Central West End for live music and cocktails at Scarlett's Wine Bar.

Lastly, Forest Park has a little bit of everything for the outdoorsy person! Dine at the boathouse, rent paddleboards, get a tee time at the Forest Park Golf Course, and see some animals at the Saint Louis Zoo. This is the largest city park in the country (yes, it's larger than Central Park in NYC), so there is plenty to explore.

PET FRIENDLY POLICY
We also welcome pets as part of the family, but to maintain cleanliness and comfort for all guests, we implement a pet fee of $75 per stay. Guests must notify us in advance if they plan to bring a pet; a maximum of two pets are allowed per rental unit. Pet owners are responsible for any damages caused by their pets, and adherence to pet-related house rules, such as leash requirements and waste disposal guidelines, is required. By booking with us and bringing a pet, guests agree to comply with these terms. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Middle of the road rental

Pros: - lots of bedrooms to fit our whole family- we could take our pets- close to anything and everything- off street parking (more details in cons section)Cons: - property was attached (I'm not sure that was listed or not, but we were unaware either way) and the neighbor left us a note about being noisy during daytime hours. - parking was TIGHT and the curb was sometimes difficult to navigate - property could use some bug treatment, we saw MANY different inside creepy crawlers- the property sleeps 12... But there weren't enough dishes for that number of people when prepping, cooking, and eating in- describing the kitchen as 'well equiped' is completely inaccurate. Few bowls (none with lids), only small (number and size) pots and pans, and scant other cooking equipment - literally had to upload my ID documents THREE times and management would not stop bugging me even after uploading them - wet/damp sheets were left in washer after check-in which began to stink during our stay - took us a minute to determine where the smell was coming from.

Fabulous house

We loved the home; built in early 1900’s. So charming!! Our littles loved the older hardwood floors. So well decorated; not overdone. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to the Botanical Gardens. Cafe across the street is good. Easy to get around. Definitely recommend for families.

STL getaway

We chose STL because it was central to our families. Our grandsons were on spring break which is why we visited this time of year. The house was very clean and very central to so many activities. We ended up have pretty good weather considering it can literally be any season at this time. Highly recommend this property.

Girls trip!

The place was located in a great neighbor. It’s updated and was perfect for a girls trip with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. I’ll give it a 4 out of 5 for cleanliness. Paint touchups would be recommended. Everyone said the beds were very comfortable. Wi-fi didn’t work very well for us. We definitely plan on booking it again next year. There’s a cafe at the end of the street and a few great neighborhood bars/restaurants.uber rides were easy to get and it only took 15 min to get downtown.

Winter Stay

We enjoyed our stay a the Cozy Shaw. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was nice. If you are staying here in the winter time, please know that the city does not plow this neighborhood's streets. This means there is ice on the road and on the side walk. The hosts of this house did clear off our parking spots and the sidewalk in front of the house, but driving is still quite difficult. We did have one hicup during our stay. One of the shower faucets did not turn off after we used it. We immediately called to get this fixed to keep the water bill from accumulating. I called at 1 am, someone picked up the phone and responded immediately. However, when they said they would call back, I thought it would be within a couple of hours. This was not the case. The management/maintenance team waited 18 hours to fix this problem. The water in the shower ran hot water continuously during this time. I wish there had been better communication with me on the timeline of when this would be fixed. Because I was not told when the maintenance men was coming until 20 minutes before he arrived I missed out on spending time with friends which is the whole reason we chose to rent this house and travel to St. Louis. I was disappointed.

Quick fall family trip to STL

Great location! Our family used to live in the same neighborhood and we really appreciated the close proximity to Tower Grove Park, the Science Center, zoo, and Botanical Gardens. Extra bonus from being across the street from one of our favorite neighborhood cafes (Fiddlehead Fern). Very clean! My wife commented that it was one of the cleaner Vrbos we’ve stayed at.

Handy Access

We stayed at this property for a family vacation. The location was great for getting to various attractions. The neighborhood that the house was located in seems to be undergoing revitalization, and there were so fun shops, etc. The size of the house was great for our family. The property was not very well taken care of, as the baseboards were filthy and the walls and woodwork definitely needed to be painted.

Perfect for our family reunion

We rented both units (right side and left side), giving us a total of 10 bedrooms for our large family reunion (in St. Louis for our son's wedding). The long tables made it easy for everyone to eat together and visit, and the beds were very comfortable. My only "complaint" is that the dining chairs (although cool and modern to look at) were very uncomfortable. We preferred sitting on the patio chairs we brought inside over the chairs in the unit.

We enjoyed our stay. We really liked that it had a large size dining table to accommodate our family so we can hang out together. The place had most everything we needed. The only thing that worried us was the steep staircase because we had my 91 year old Mom. But that was not really a problem bec we were very careful with her. Our 5yr old boy knew to be very careful when going up & down the stairs. All in all our family enjoyed your house and had a wonderful stay. Thank you so very much.

Very nice house with plenty of space for our large group of 8 people. My only complaint was with the downstairs shower. The plumbing was such that when you ran the shower half the water came out of the bottom faucet and half came out of the shower head, making for poor water pressure.
