The modern bathroom includes a shower as well as a bathtub for a relaxing bubble bath or a great space to bath the kids. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine or BBQing on the large gas grill on the back porch, with views of the beautiful trees and backyard garden.

Location is everything! This Vacation Home is near Downtown Saint Louis and Forest Park and walkable to Tower Grove Park and the Botanical Gardens. You’ll love the mature trees and scenic views. The neighborhood is very walkable.

Traveling with Children?
The space is GREAT for kids. We are parents of young children and understand the importance of safety and convenience. The entire apartment is setup with this in mind: all outlets are covered and the home is free of dangerous or breakable items. We also include a pack n play with mattress and fitted sheet, high chair, booster seat, baby monitors, play mat, infant bouncy seat, chalk and chalkboard walls, coloring and crafting tools for kids, single and double jogging strollers, and a bunch of toys. (Something you need not listed, just ask! But don't wait too long, if it takes ordering and installing I'll need a heads up).

Suffer From Allergies? This Vacation Home comes with a heavy duty Air Purifier and I ensure that the filters are changed regularly not only on the Air Purifier but on the home's furnace system as well. Also, each time guests stay the home is exceptionally cleaned and disinfected along with detailed dusting each and every time.

Traveling with Pets?
The space is pet friendly. Please note that there will be a $60 dollar pet fee. You are responsible for picking up dog poop in the backyard (bags supplied by us), and we ask that you refrain from having pets on the furniture and to give your dog a bath before your trip.

The entire first floor apartment, back porch, and one parking spot in the back of the home is for your personal use. You will have your own personal washer and dryer, which are located in the basement of the home. The front covered porch, backyard and parking area is also accessible to the 2nd floor Vacation Home guests and are the only shared spaces, everything else is for your private use.

Great spot in ST. Louis

Communication with the host was great and timely! Town house had everything we needed and more. Great location on a quiet street with parking behind the house. Great outdoor space and a great location, close to a huge park, and not far from the zoo!

Good for families.

The location of the property was very convenient, all of our destinations were within a 10 minute drive. The kids loved the playground and the toys that were stocked in the home. The binder was very helpful in finding local food and conveniences. Would stay again!

Cozy house in the city

We had a wonderful stay at this charming city home. The house was clean, comfortable, and located in a great neighborhood close to the Botanical Gardens and many of St. Louis’ top attractions. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. Highly recommend!

If you’re traveling with little ones, this is the place to be. They’ve got everything you could need, so you can travel light. The neighborhood felt very safe, and it’s very close to all St. Louis has to offer. We would definitely stay here again.

Quiet little stay in the city

The property was exactly as pictured/described in the listing. The house had a lot of nice touches that made it feel very homey. After a day on the road we had lots of room to spread out and the kids enjoyed the toys inside and the play equipment outside. The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe. Sara was quick to ask if we had any problems and offered a huge list of things to do in the area.

Fabulous

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at this condo with our 3 kids aged 7,6, and 3! The kids loved their sleeping options, having a TV in their rooms, and their own personal playground! The condo has all that you could possibly want and need. It’s spacious, clean, and has lovely updates. The location is second to none, near everything we wanted to do with the kids. We will be back! Thank you all!

Family fun rendezvous with grandparents

We met halfway between our households to get grandparents and grandkids together for a fun week in St. Louis. The location was conveniently located near lots of attractions - short drive to Forest Park and City Museum, and walking distance to the botanical gardens and Tower Grove Park. I wasn't familiar with areas of St. Louis when booking, but felt very safe in this location. The rental was very well appointed for family and pet stay. My kids loved the play structure in the back yard and the extra books and Magnatiles.

Weekend stay for event in Forest Park

This rental was in the perfect location for access to our event in Forest Park. We had 4 adults & 3 children in our group and had plenty of room. The indoor and outdoor seating created ample room for gathering, eating and visiting. The 1 bathroom wasnt an issue and there was ample hot water for 4 showers in less than an hour. This host was readily accessible for messages and provided all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay (shampoo, body wash, lots of towels, kitchen essentials). The neighborhood was quiet and had ample parking. We would Definitely consider renting this property again.

Fantastic Family-based property

Wow! We loved staying here. Everything was very clean and accessible. Our kids spent hours playing in the playset in the backyard. We don't have an infant, but the property had everthing we would have needed. The beds were comfortable. The dining table was larger than I thought too, which was a nice surprise. Easy walk to the Botanic Gardens and drivable to Forest Park. Strollers and bikes too. Great experience.

great kid-friendly 3BR

We had a wonderful stay here. This cute home housed me and my wife, our 3 children, and my in-laws for 6 days, and no one went crazy! Sara has done a great job with details for this property. There were several coffee and espresso options, with a supply of ground coffee and espresso. There were plenty of ice trays, and my favorite - giant 2 inch ice molds for cocktails...or kids wanting a giant ice ball. The house comes stocked with a few games, books, and playsets (magnatiles, train set, etc.) to keep everyone occupied. I could do without the chalkboard wall in one of the rooms, but others might enjoy this. The backyard swingset is better than the one at our real home, and there's a playhouse equipped with toys...and a sandbox! Everything was a bit...cozy with the 7 of us, but we made it work The neighborhood is cute and quiet. There are not a ton of restaurants to walk to, but there are a few and there are endless options within 10 minutes drive. Finally, Sara was able to accommodate a last minute change to our schedule without any problem. We would highly recommend this place!

About the host

Hosted by Sara Parris

Host profile image
I'm a huge fan of game night, micro brews, community, hiking, reading, serving, eating, biking, coffee, wineries, mom'n it up, and traveling.

When traveling, I like to stay in places that are cozy, clean, and comfortable. I love that I can provide travelers to Saint Louis the fancy hotel feel with way more amenities and the experience of staying in a great Saint Louis neighborhood. I also love Saint Louis and love showing it off!

It so rewarding to hear from guests that they loved their Vacation Home and can't wait to come back! Hosting is hospitality for me and I absolutely love it.

Why they chose this property

I have always loved this area and thought "How cool would it be if I could own a home here someday!" and now I do! Although I no longer live at this Vacation Home (although I do live in the neighborhood next to it), I enjoy hosting guests who can enjoy it just as much as I did.

What makes this property unique

Location: So close to everything in St. Louis!
Neighbors: Super friendly neighbors!
Parks: This Vacation Home is walkable to the Botanical Gardens and Tower Grove Park.
Space: Guests rave about how lovely this home is. It's beautiful, come stay and find out.
Family Amenities: Travel with less, we most likely have it for you already at this Vacation Home.
Comfort: Guests are always surprised at how comfortable the beds are. I didn't go cheap when making those purchase. Sleep well!
Clean: Each clean includes sanitation and detailed dusting methods and the heavy duty air purifiers are constantly cleaning the air so you can breath easy.
