About this property

Perfect for Families & Groups - Safe & Near Everything! w/Playground & Parking

You'll love our newly renovated 6 bedroom, 2 bathroom family-focused home, complete with high speed, fiber internet, washer & dryers, and off-street parking. This listing is for 2 vacation rentals, which you can book as one. Apartments are separated by a single stairwell & 2 doors. Centrally located to all Saint Louis attractions and just a block from the Botanical Gardens and less than 10 minutes (this is including traffic) to Forest Park, America's Dome, The Arch, The Convention Center, WashU, SLU, Tower Grove Park, IKEA, The Hill, The Grove, Forest Park, & South Grand Food District, and so much more. The space includes 6 bedrooms with 4 (highly rated) queen beds, 2 Double, 2 trundle, 1 futon, & 1 air mattresses. Two back decks each with its own large gas grill and seating, two dining rooms, two fully stocked kitchens, two living rooms, one front covered porch, laundry, and ample amenities for families (single and double strollers, baby equipment, high chairs, booster seats, bikes, and more). Not to mention the epic playground and play kitchen in the fenced in backyard for the kiddos!

Get the best of both worlds at this luxury home! Choose to stay here and you’ll get the crisp, clean, fancy hotel feeling while being able to experience life in one of the best communities in St. Louis (while being close to practically EVERYTHING.) Each floor has been deep cleaned to the finest details using sanitation and detailed dusting methods. Each floor has its own heavy duty air purifier to increase the safety of all guests.

Location:
Location is everything! It is centrally located and near Forest Park, Bush Stadium, America's Dome, Convention Center, the Arch, WashU, SLU, and so much more. This home is conveniently located near Tower Grove Park and Botanical Gardens, with a well-maintained path that runs alongside the Botanical Gardens and that will take you straight into Tower Grove park. You’ll love the mature trees and scenic views. The neighborhood is very walkable.

I include a welcome manual with lots of great Saint Louis attractions. I LOVE STL and want to share that joy with you. If you have specific interests, let me know and I will point you in the right direction. Saint Louis has so much to offer!

Parking:
You will have access to two off street parking spots, both located in the back of the property. Additional free street parking is available. The house is located on a quiet, one way street with ample parking.

The Bedrooms:
Each floor has three bedrooms and one bathroom. On each floor, the first bedroom includes a high quality and extremely comfortable queen bed and 43 in smart TV with plenty of room to store clothing and other items in the dresser, two side tables, or closet. The second bedroom includes a full size bed with a twin trundle underneath and a 32 in TV. The third bedroom, located in the back of the home includes a comfortable queen bed, two side tables, book shelves and large closet. All bedrooms are equipped with a luxury sound machine, to ensure a sound sleep for all guests (even if you’re traveling with young ones or noisy friends!)

Entertainment & Streaming:
Kickback and watch the 55in smart TV in the living room. Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ accounts are included but feel free to log into any of your accounts on Roku.

Laundry:
Guests will have access to four two washers & two dryers, both located in the basement.

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 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, high chair, baby monitors, rock n play, play mat, coloring and crafting tools for kids, and a bunch of toys. (Something you need not listed, just ask! But please try and ask ahead of time)

Traveling with Pets?
The space is pet friendly. Please note that there is a $120 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.

Guest access:
You will have access to the entire home, front porch, back porch & upstairs balcony, and three parking spots in the back of the home. You will have your own personal triple set of washers and dryers, which are located in the basement of this home. The entire property is for your private use.

This house worked well for two families enjoying a weekend in St. Louis. We each had our separate spaces, but could join together easily! Sara was very accommodating with some of our requests and very responsive when we had small issues that needed to be addressed.

Christmas in Dt. Louis

Our family met for an early Christmas. This home was beyond perfect considering we had 4 couples and 5 boys 3 yo and younger. It was decorated for Christmas and had the best playground, 2 kitchens, 3 washers, comfy beds, sound machines, high chairs etc. we would enjoy returning in the warm weather since the home is so close to many attractions.

Great Stay in St Louis!

We brought our adult children and grandchildren to St Louis for a mini vacation. This house was a prefect location for all of the activities that we wanted to participate in. The property was very clean and well organized. The layout worked perfectly for our families. We had a seamless check in and check out. The playset was a great hit with the kiddos and was part of the reason we chose this property. We would definitely recommend this home for anyone looking for a central location in the St Louis area.

Fun stay in St. Louis

We really enjoyed out stay at this property in St. Louis. If you have younger kids, the playground and backyard area was THE BEST! Our littles enjoyed playing out there and since it was fenced in we felt very safe. The house was super clean and well stocked with everything we needed including extras like strollers we used during our visit. We were a little confused when we first arrived because we didn't feel like it was made clear to us that we were renting two separate townhouses that opened up into one big house. It took about 15 minutes of wandering around and some confusion and messages to the owner to see that we had to enter each property to open up access to the upstairs. Otherwise, we really appreciated all the little touches left for us. The house was close to everything and well maintained

Wonderful Home for a St. Louis Vacation

This home is convenient, comfortable, cute and functional and would fit any family or group's needs well. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting St. Louis! I brought together my family from Michigan, California and Tennessee for a long weekend vacation in St. Louis and this home was perfect for us! We had 7 adults and 5 kids in the house, so I rented both floors and the rooms with trundle beds were perfect for the kids! The house had chalk walls, games, books and art supplies that helped keep us all busy in our down time. The location was also perfect! It sits in a quiet, historic and what felt like a very safe neighborhood that is within walking distance of the Botanical Gardens and within a 15 minute drive to all the other attractions we took in. (Arch, Cardinals game, City Museum, Zoo and Anheuser Brewery) This is a great home for visiting St. Louis!

Perfect Stay for Families

This was one of our favorite VRBOs we have stayed in with kids! The backyard play set and play house kept the kids busy and happy. The baby supplies meant we didn't have to pack as much in our car which always makes for an easier trip. Everything was well stocked and a fun vibe that set the tone for a great weekend.

Comfortable and perfect location

We loved this house in this historic district in STL- and so close the the Hill! We had nine in our group so we were able to spread out with the kids playing upstairs while the adults cooked dinner and visited diwnstairs. It's close to so many sites which was convenient and the little girls lived the donut shop a couple blocks away. The sound machines in each room were also a nice touch. Crisp white bedding and fluffy white towels and the house was immaculate... Perfect!

Great for families

I gave this property a 5 star rating because it was perfect for our family reunion. We had 3 children under three years of age and 9 adults. The home was well appointed for kids - multiple booster seats and strollers, trundle beds and pack n play, play structure out back including slides and kids kitchen. The property is within easy walking distance of the Missouri Botanical Garden and Tower Grove Park. The host was exceptionally responsive. We found the property to be as described... not a luxury property, but quite comfortable and clean. Parking was not a problem.

Owner thought of everything.

We had adult children and spouses meeting us in St Louis for a few days reunion before traveling to my youngest daughter's wedding. The property has two almost identical layouts and furnishings. It was perfect for four couples and there were two trundle beds for the grand child and unmarried daughter. The two living rooms, kitchens and dining rooms gave each floor a chance to take turns hosting meals and games. The parking was tight with five cars. Two had parking spaces in the back of the house but 3 had to vie for street parking but we always found parking on the block pretty close and it wasn't as stressful as you would think. We lived our stay and the house!! Everything possible was there for us! It was very close to the botanical garden...if I ever went back this would be my top choice accomodations. The linens and beds were wonderful!!!

A great location in St Louis!

Our week staying in St. Louis was perfect. This home was so close to everything we wanted to do. We had 14 people, 4 generations, from age 93 to age 6. Having two identical apartments worked perfect for us. We had three vehicles, and parking was never a problem. There was a parking pad in the back, and street parking was always available. Lots of extras if you have small kids! Lots of fun games too! The owner was wonderful to deal with. At the last minute, we had to bring our dog. Sara was very willing to allow that. We were also celebrating two birthdays while there, and she put up a birthday banner before we arrived, and we left it up all week. We also used her free Botanical Gardens passes, which is within a half mile of the house, and very beautiful. The home is an older home, but well decorated, and well cared for. The neighborhood is all brick homes, similar in appearance. We talked to the neighbors several times, and enjoyed them too. We were very happy staying in this home, and with our interaction with Sara.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Stout

Host profile image
I'm a huge fan of game night, breweries, 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: Single and double strollers, bikes, baby equipment, etc. 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.
