Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Des Moines

Although we only stayed one night, we were really comfortable here. clean, spacious and a kitchen that was very easy to work in. we made a nice breakfast for some local relatives and we were able to relax and catch up on the comfie living room furniture. Lots of cute touches in the decor throughout the house. while we didn't venture out to the yard, it is also spacious and well furnished for relaxation and play. Ella was flexible enough to allow us in a little early so we could get dressed for the funeral we came into town for. we were much more comfortable here than we would have been at a local hotel, for basically the same price. Exit instructions were clear, basic and easy. Thanks for a great stay, Ella.

Lovely Airbnb! Extra amenities, very clean, cutely decorated, comfortable functional furniture, deer walked up into the back yard area in the early morning hours, peaceful neighborhood, home is attached but completely private on a dead end street, covered front porch with comfortable wicker cushioned furniture, we loved it and would stay again if returning to the area. There were 4 adults and 1 toddler and we had ample room. Thank you again 😊 for a lovely stay.

Lovely hosts! Really good location for everything. Peaceful neighbourhood and we saw rabbits and squirrels every morning. The basement is an awesome space if you travel with kids too.

Anthony’s house is really nice and clean. Darn near spotless. He was very responsive when I messaged him. He said he was actively working to deal with the only issue I experienced regarding noise from a nearby property. It was a positive stay overall for me.

Very cute place! We really enjoyed our stay. Clean, kid friendly. We did not have small children but noticed that were many amenities for kids (toys, dishes, fold away crib.).

In town with family for a show at Wells Fargo Arena and loved our stay here. Clean, cute and peaceful home with a gorgeous little sunroom and plenty of amenities. Quick drive to downtown. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great neighborhood with numerous beautifully maintained Craftsman style homes, including the rental. You are not going to find many neighborhoods like this one. It feels as if you are transported back to the 1940’s.

The house decor was lovely and inviting. The location near downtown was fabulous. We enjoyed our stay!

This was a great place to stay in downtown Des Moines. It was close to the Civic Center where we saw Hamilton, and had a variety of restaurants and activities within walking distance. And don't forget the Hy-Vee that was just down the street. We never needed the car during our 2 night stay. The apartment was roomy and exceptionally clean. The view from the living room window included the river, plaza and Civic Center - really beautiful! Mac had lots of thoughtful extras like toothpaste, floss, coffee, and simple check-out procedures. He was a very responsive host. We would gladly stay here again. Thanks, Mac!

Great place, comfortable, tidy, had everything we needed, close to everything, walkable. Could not be more impressed with communication.

I had a wonderful stay at Dallas’s Airbnb! From the start, Dallas was very responsive and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, which made the booking process smooth and easy. The place itself was spotless and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and relaxing environment. I appreciated the attention to detail for the checkin and out process. I’d definitely recommend this Airbnb to others. Would love to stay again!

It was a great stay! Abby was able to help us out instantly when we had some trouble getting in & the place was so cute and was in a great location!

My friend and I walked in and immediately fell in love with it! I loved the outside view. Very peaceful and relaxing.

This is great place with a great view of downtown des moines! Very clean and easy to get to. Will definitely book again in the future.

Walking distance to Drake making it perfect for parents visiting for sporting events or for graduations.

Wonderful stay! Stephen's place was exactly as described and loaded with books, dvds and comfortable furniture. It was just what we needed for the stay in DesMoines. We will definitely stay again when coming to the area! Thank you!

Excellent Stay at Angela’s condominium— I would have loved to stay a few more days to explore all the area had to offer, but it was a quick stop on a long roadtrip. The shower and Steam room was an excellent touch. I would stay again without hesitation.

Easy to get to abs clear instructions. Felt very safe. Would stay again for sure. It was perfect.

Very friendly host. The apartment has a lot of space, is very clean and easy to live in. When we come back we would love to rent this apartment again. Around the corner several good restaurants and a hyvee to get groceries.

Crystal clear instructions on how to get into the building and once you get in, it’s easier the next time. Had a small hiccup with parking, because of a race that had all the streets around the building closed, but Kyle gave us an alternative suggestion that worked out just fine. Everything was clean and exactly as described and shown. One of the most comfortable bed/pillow combos we’ve had!! Great location and walkable to everything we were in town for.

The condo was amazing. Well furnished and comfortable beds. Lots of room to spread out. The rooftop area was pretty. The only negatives are that there is no front door…the only entrance is a steep garage. I’m not sure I knew that. Also, the k cup part of the coffee station was not working and the garbage disposal isn’t working.

This place is the cats meow!! I the heart of downtown with great views, easily walkable to so many places you’ll want to go!! Clean, bright, well thought out decor, just sets this place apart from so many others!! Tons of activities, hot spots, excellent resultants, easily walkable!! Felt safe and secure!! Felt like home away from home!! We will be back!!

Great location, comfortable stay. Justin was very responsive and overall great host. Would recommend if you need to stay in or around downtown Des Moines.

Central location, very clean and bright loft, perfect for a 1-2 night stay!
