House was ok

House was ok. It could do with a better clean, kitchen blinds were dirty. Extra bedding would be good, comforters and more pillows. As someone else mentioned, the next door neighbors were noisy through the night with their coming and going and dog barking.

Perfect stay for family event

We were in town for my son’s wedding. This property allowed perfect space for family to stop and visit, ample sleeping space, two showers, and a nice kitchen to bring our own food and beverages. This property was a blessing for our family to make wonderful memories!

Great spot for a family stay

Overall, our stay was enjoyable in this spacious property. The only downside was that the neighbors dog did bark a fair bit.

Great VRBO!

Clean, quiet home in a nice subdivision located on a cul du sac. Fenced in back yard, nice wooden deck with outdoor furniture. Location is great for shopping and restaurants. Owners were great to work with. When in Iowa, will look to rent again.

Great place for our stay for a graduation weekend.

The back porch was amazing. In the morning it was shady, and in the evening the same, I think we ate every meal out there. Good location for us. My husband and I stayed there with a daughter, her husband, and two of their daughters. I think the icemaker might need some work. Broken white plastic pieces would come out with the ice, and some ice would leak onto floor. Otherwise, nice stay.

Reunion

Nice property; nice neighborhood, conenient to groceries, and freeways. Was missing some expectations on blankets, linen. One overifing concern was the internal security cameras upstairs and downstairs (i.e. was anybody watching and/or listening).

Perfect Urbandale Home

We stayed here for about 10 days, and we had everything we needed in the home and around us. The house is large and there is plenty of room and space. Well-equipped on every level and conveniently located to all that we needed. Joy was so helpful and responsive. Amazing host!!! The A/C went out during the heat wave in August, and Joy was on it. We had cool air within hours. Great home, great location, great host! Thanks!!

Some Good, Some Bad

The Good: The house itself is nice and well maintained. Communication with the property manager was excellent; she is very responsive and seems concerned about maintaining a nice property. Beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water for showers and laundry. The home is thoughtfully stocked with initial supplies, including coffee, dishwasher tabs, TP, etc. The Bad #1: Very inconsistent cleaning. Overall the house was adequately cleaned. The two glaring exceptions were the showers (including a MB shower curtain liner coated with mildew) and most of the floors. The property manager came by to rectify the curtain liner situation. My husband ended up cleaning the shower floor before we felt comfortable using it; and it was filthy. The Bad #2: The other issue was the next door neighbor's barking dog. It appears that the dog lives in the garage. Any nearby outside activity, including the coming/going of their teenage kids, sets off the dog. The two bedrooms against that side of the house were kept awake two out of four nights. As noted, the house is nice and overall everything was adequate. Great responsiveness from the property manager. But the two "bad" issues are deal breakers for us, and we won't be returning.

Dog Days and Nights

The house upon arrival was not as clean as we left it. The entry door glass hadn’t been cleaned and dead flies lined the patio slider doors. The house is adequate but certainly outdated. The master shower curtain had not been cleaned in forever fortunately there was a large bottle of bleach that I used nearly half of on the curtain to clean it. The neighbor directly to the south keeps TWO large and LOUD dogs in their garage. Each morning at 6:20 and every evening at about 10:30 they would tie them to their basketball hoop adjacent to this property’s south side. The master bedroom is directly above them. They YIP, BARK, and GROWL THE ENTIRE TIME THEY ARE TIED UP. Usually they take them back in after 15 to 20 minutes. It was so bad I considered calling the ARL which my wife talked me out of. We told the owner the very first day and he shrugged and said “well we have only had one complaint”. Maybe they should spend a night. If you need to be up by 6:20 and don’t mind going to bed after 11 this place is adequate. We were very happy to leave.
