About this property

KC Backyard Vacation

Beautifully remodeled home located in a quiet neighborhood in the heart of the KC metro. If your family is visiting KC or if your'e just looking for the perfect family stay-cation, then look no further. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home sleeps 7-10 persons comfortably with an open floor plan and plenty of space. It features a beautiful newly renovated private swimming pool on a 3/4 acre lot with manicured landscaping, and ample patio furniture for enjoying time in the sun and around the pool. There is plenty of space for the kids to play in the back yard or up front in the quiet cul-de-sac, plus they will love 1/4 Court Basketball area with 10ft goal, playing pool volleyball (supplied), or playing ping pong in the finished basement. The pool deck with two umbrella tables and outdoor BBQ grill are perfect for family birthday parties or reunions. Major highway access is only 5 minutes away and most of the sought after Kansas City attractions such as The Plaza, Legends Racetrack, Arrowhead Stadium & Worlds of Fun theme parks are within a 15-30 minute drive.

Great!

Everything was as pictured and listed. Beds were comfortable. Things were clean. The home had a little more personal clutter than I prefer, but there was still room to "move-in" during our stay. Thank you for preserving this nice tri-level family home.

We had a wonderful time at the house enjoying the pool, hot tub, basketball courts and ping pong. This house is fully stocked with your kitchen needs and entertainment for the full family. The pool was a blessing in the hot days after being out exploring.

Medical Treatment

This house has everything that you need to have a good time. Sadly we were there for medical treatment at KU and did not get to enjoy all the house had to offer but I would love to come back. There is something for everyone here and the neighborhood is very quite and safe. The hosts were wonderful to work with and responded very quickly. Highly recommend this house.

Will stay again!

I stayed here for a week with my two daughters (10 and 6), and we have zero complaints! Location is about 15 minutes from all the things we wanted to do (zoo, science museum, plaza, etc) and is in a neighborhood where we felt safe. The house is exactly as described, but ALSO includes lots of little extras we weren't expecting (nice toiletries, extra fans in the closets, laundry and soap detergent, some snacks and much more). Will definitely return next time we come to KC!

About the host

Host profile image
We are the Janes Family and we would like to welcome you to our family pool house. We are life long residents of Kansas City and currently live just 15 minutes away in Overland Park, KS. My dad built this home for our family when I was just two years old and I grew up here. My brother and I inherited the home when our mom passed in 2014, and I recently remodeled both the home and swimming pool in spring of 2022. We have lots of great memories here as a family and we are excited for you to be able to make your own memories and share in the fun that we have had over the years. Please enjoy your time and make yourselves at home!

Thank you,

The Janes Family (Shaymond, Amber & Madilynn)
