Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Polk County

My family stayed here for a long weekend. The house listing was accurate. It was great that they had a high chair and a pack and play available for our youngest.

Immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable. A well-furnished kitchen. Bakery, coffee, groceries, restaurants, and a malt shop all within 15 minutes walking distance or less. A charming, safe, and very walkable neighborhood. Nine-minute drive from the heart of downtown, and easy access to Des Moines' extensive network of bike paths. Tonya is a very responsive and helpful host. Would definitely stay here again!

Overall great stay and great communication! Would stay there again!

my family and I had a great time. Linda was very responsive and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her property. the location was awesome,within 20 minutes of almost anything. thanks for the great experience.

We stayed here for a cheer competition at the fairgrounds. It worked out perfectly to not fight the parking lots and were able to walk across the street! It was a great location and close by to things we are interested in. House was well kept, nice and clean! The neighbors were very friendly as well. Thanks for the great stay!

Super cute house. Felt right at home. Nice neighborhood; minutes from downtown and expressway

This was a meet in the middle location for my my family and it was perfect. The place was super cute and had tons of character. we absolutely loved our stay. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

We were in town for a baseball tournament and wanted extra room to be able to relax. We were able to have some home cooked meals, the kids were able to burn off steam, and everyone got a good nights sleep! Hosts were prompt and friendly with a water heater issue and were flexible with our checkout time when we got tournament details late in the evening. Would recommend and stay again!

Great location. Close to Drake Univ neighborhood and a stone's throw from the highway and minutes to about anywhere you want to be in Des Moines! Cozy, comfortable, spacious and amenities were stocked! Would stay again!

Great spot for a weekend stay! The location was convenient and we were within a short walk of food and entertainment downtown. The unit itself was spacious and clean. We will stay here again!

This is place is in a fantastic location with easy access to downtown DSM. I enjoyed my stay here and the walking convenience to great coffee shops, lunch, and dinner.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at Becky’s place. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, which made it a perfect spot to relax. There were plenty of things to do nearby, and we enjoyed exploring the area. Becky was very responsive and easy to reach whenever we had questions. We did have a small issue with the door, but she was quick to help and made sure everything was taken care of. The space felt cozy and comfortable—just like home. We’d definitely recommend staying here!

James was responsive and kind and the place was super comfortable. Two really tasty coffee shops within a ten-minute walk too!

Had a great and comfortable stay with my son. Would recommend.

Dan was an extremely responsive host. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and attractions.

5 stars I had a great stay! The hosts were friendly and responsive, and the place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and very affordable. The location was also a big plus, with plenty of things to do nearby. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!

Everything was absolutely perfect!

Jeffry’s place was great!! It was a great location with lots to do in a walkable distance! It was also a walkable distance to the location of our concert which was super nice! The location also felt super safe which was great. The apartment was clean and well kept. Jeffry was super communicative and gave clear instructions about everything. He made sure to check in with how our stay was and was willing to give recommendations about whatever we needed! Wonderful place!!

It was exactly as described. When I couldn’t find something she was very quick to respond and very helpful.

Had a lovely stay at Jeff's place! The condo was lovely, nicely decorated and comfortable. We felt welcome right away with a nice card from Jeff and some snacks. We had everything we needed at the condo including a comfortable bed and pull out sofa and a full kitchen. Light sleepers may want to bring a noise machine or ear plugs as the downtown bar crowd can be a little noisy on the weekends. We would love to stay here again the next time we're in Des Moines!

I booked Kyles place at 9:30 @ night, thats pretty last minute, didnt phase them, even when i had a hard time figuring out how to get the keys out of the lockbox, Kyle answered and got me right in, it was beautiful and peaceful, just what i was looking for, thank you Kyle :)

NIce industrial/loft setting, clean and well appointed. It was easy walking distance to restaurants and bars downtown. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at this location again.

Perfect location. Perfect home for a small group. Perfect home away from home. Would definitely book again if I returned to Des Moines. The home had everything you needed…extra linens, all kitchen appliances, and a washer & dryer. The host is also super responsive and willing to assist with any issues.

If I'm ever in Des Moines again I will seek out this AirBNB. We absolutely loved this stay!
