Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Polk County

My family and I stayed here while visiting Des Moines. The house was perfect for us. Everything seemed very new and clean and the check- in and check-out process were a breeze. We enjoyed our stay!

I had a wonderful stay. The house is so charming and beautifully decorated. The beds are very comfortable. While the house is small, it doesn’t feel cramped in the least. You have everything you need in a very workable space. If I need a place in DM again, this will be my first choice.

This little home was so perfect in every way. They had fun activities like board games and toys for kids. The kitchen was wonderful and had a few snacks in place, which was extremely thoughtful. We enjoyed the train going by (it wasn't very loud and passed by relatively quick). The bed was so comfy after a day of exploring Iowa! Overall, I really enjoyed our stay in Iowa. It felt like a like a perfect little home away from home. Now, I can't wait for us to come back to visit again!

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Jane's property. It is located in a quiet suburban area, only a few minutes from downtown De Moines, with a modest small town residential feel. The home is excellently maintained. Jane definitely a "super host" ... friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Her property demonstrates her pride in ownership and attention to details, for example clear labeling of the kichen equipment and other items for guest use. We would recommend that you consider staying in this property if you have occasion to be in the Des Moines metro area.

This place was great for a girls weekend. The pool and deck area is a fun hangout.

We were super grateful to have a quick and comfortable spot for the night. We got into Des Moines very late and needed a place to stay the night during our travels. Despite contacting/booking very last minute, Debbie was quick to respond and help us get settled. It was a wonderful little space with everything we needed for the night. Very clean, comfortable, and decorated well!

I was on a road trip with my retired parents, my dad needs to sleep in a recliner and this place was perfect. clean, comfortable, great communication with the host. I'd stay again if I was in the Des Moines area.

Great stay as always! Jesse is a 5 star host and all of his properties are fantastic! I will continue to book my team in Jesse's properties. My nurses love the home away from home!

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!

Not one thing could be improved on! The place was even better than pictured and described. It smelled so nice! The bed was comfortable. The place was spotless... The couch even had vacuum lines on it. Come on! I will likely be in Des Moines more frequently in the future and this place will be my go to!

Had a great stay at Brandon’s! Clear instructions, cozy and clean unit. Just as described. Comfortable bed and pillows. Nice and quiet, not a lot of street noise, if any. Loved the bidet, thought it was a nice touch, as well as other amenities provided in the bathroom (e.g. make remover wipes for the ladies). Same building as Hello, Marjorie which is a great little cocktail bar. Would stay here again.

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.

We stayed here for a family girls weekend and it was perfect! There was plenty of space and it was cozy and comfy! The place was so cute in a peaceful area but it was also super easy to get to where we wanted to go in the city. Check-out tasks were also quick and minimal. We will definitely stay here again if we’re in the area!

Xiangli’s house is located in an absolute gorgeous neighborhood with lots of cute restaurants and shops right down the street. Her communication was great from start to finish.

Angela’s place is beautiful. Clean, cozy, quiet. I only wish I could have stayed longer and fully enjoyed the yard and amenities. Definitely recommend!

Great location for Iowa state university graduation weekend. Close to everything.

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 place! Stayed for the 70.3 Ironman. Exactly what we needed! Super close to everything we needed to get to. Walked most places, farmers market was right outside the door and breakfast was a short walk, and Ironman village was one block away. So thankful for a private parking spot downtown! Everything was clean and well kept. Would definitely stay here again. Instructions to get in were a bit intense but we followed it exactly as laid out and were able to get checked in just fine.
