Nicely decorated & Clean property. Bathroom needs newer tub surround. Hooks for hanging clothes, towels, & coats, which was nice. Quiet neighborhood. We would stay here again.
We stayed here because we were vendors at a local event happening at Merle Hay Mall. The location is amazing—very close to Merle Hay.House was well-kempt and clean. We had a brief issue with the access code not working, but we contacted the owner and she resolved it quickly, so top marks for good communication.I would stay here again.
We love staying at Good Vibes House. The charming decor, full-sized Kitchen and location make it an ideal spot to stay in for our visits. Hosts are great with communication and are gracious and professional.
Gotta spend the weekend with my three daughters we went and did some stuff and then came back at night. The only downfall is the furniture is not comfortable and there’s only one TV.
We had a great stay! The home was very comfortable, the street was quiet and the location was great - close to where we needed to go, plus close to restaurants and shopping. The travel crib and the high chair were very appreciated!
Good Vibes House is charming, comfortable, well-appointed and is in a great location for visiting our family. We are repeat customers and look forward to our next stay.
I was in Des Moines for a week for appointments with my son. I stayed for 5 nights. I had my 5 year old and 8 year old with me. The house was a perfect size for us.
The kitchen had all the tools I needed for making meals. The beds are the foam temperpedic type. A bit too firm for me but that it a personal preference. The kids slept great on it. The rooms have black out curtains which is one reason I chose this house. So many houses have no curtains or thin ones. I need dark when I sleep! The kids enjoyed the play fort and swings. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. It was close to grocery stores. I looked at many properties in Des Moines area before choosing this house. It had more charm and a yard.
We enjoyed everything about our stay. Cute house. Nice quiet dead end street with very quick and easy access to main roads. Our only complaints were the foam mattresses only because we are seniors and they are so difficult to turn over in. Thank you Ali for your quick responses ! FYI: don’t lock the door from the inside when you leave. Only lock the door with the combination the same way you unlock it.
Blessings.

Family trip for daughter’s Medical School graduation. Close to where we were going and had exactly what we needed and just the right size for us. Thanks!
House was simple and exactly what we needed for our quick weekend trip. Located on a quiet street and centrally located to get to all parts of Des Moines!
The place was absolutely perfect, very clean and on a quiet street. The only thing was the Internet wasn't really working nor could we get the TV to work, but it wasn't necessary for our stay. Just something I thought we would mention to have looked at!
Good Vibes House is a great place to stay! It’s cozy, clean and a short distance from our relative whom we visit. The host, Ali, is very prompt in answering any questions we might have. We really enjoy staying at Good Vibes House!
This house was perfect for our family. Along with having some baby proofing (outlet plugs and stair gates), they also had a pack n play and high chairs! Along with kids toys and more! Will definitely be our go-to VRBO when visiting family!
We had a nice quick stay with family! The home was very clean, nice and homey feeling and loved the games in the tv cabinet for the kids! Plenty of towels and bedding was very comfortable. Would probably rent again.
We loved staying here in the good vibes house. Charming, cozy, clean and well-appointed! Ali was very prompt in her communications with us. My sister and I enjoyed our stay very much. We look forward to future stays!
We're Bogey and Ali, an adventurous couple who believes that creating good memories and extraordinary experiences is what makes life meaningful.
