• Casa Dean sleeps 20 close to Fairgrounds and Downtown Des Moines •

Des Moines
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (20)
"This house is amazing for a larger group! Plenty of space to lounge & sleep without feeling over-crowded. Nice big kitchen and fridge with freezer to make our own meals. The bbq grill & outside patio with fire pit was perfect at night. Plenty of towels for showering, and appreciated the soap for sinks; many vrbos do not provide that. Matt was very responsive & made sure we had everything we needed! We did not utilize the game room in the garage, but hope to be back some day so we can! Definitely...

Cozy 2BR Home in Central Des Moines

Des Moines
2.0 out of 10, (1)
"Host forgot about my reservation and did not leave key to house so there was no access. It took almost 2 hours for host to even respond to messages. Host was not even local so no way to get a key even if they responded immediately. Host refused to refund whole amount..only cleaning fees.. which was ridiculous. I recommend staying at places that have a keycode lock on the door for convenient access on future stays. I don't recommend using this place after the way I was treated. "
