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.

Backyard Paradise!

We loved this house! The backyard is amazing and allows you to have a ton of fun without leaving the house. The hot tub is brand new and great for chilly mornings! Inside the house is everything you need, pots and pans, plenty of towels, blankets and pillows, etc. It really felt like home! The host was incredible! Took care of us if we needed anything and was very accomodating. Definitely will consider booking it again if we are back. 10/10 would recommend!

What a great place! Shaymond and Amber were wonderful hosts. Very communicative and easy to get a hold of. The check in process was super simple and check out wasn't super involved like some places (i.e. where they make you basically clean the entire place).Pros: the backyard is what makes this place! The pool is one of the cleanest/clearest pools I've ever swam in. Be advised it's not super deep - just an FYI if you have teens/adults. I think the deepest is maybe 5.5ft. There are ample pool floats, toys, and towels. The basketball hoop and balls, plus bags, and swing were perfect! And the hot tub was wonderful too! Other pros include the layout of the house and how well-stocked it was (extra linens, toiletries, etc.)Cons: location is pretty far from most activities; however, if you have a car like we did it's not a deal breaker at all. The biggest con for us (with kids) were the window coverings. It's only mini blinds or cellular shades which really don't keep rooms very dark. That's a minor nit to pick, but some curtains would have been helpful. Also, there are a lot of things that imply that the property is monitored inside and out which is a little creepy so I guess just watch what you do...or don't LOLOverall, we would recommend this property and stay there again!

Great family gathering in KC.

We met our kids and grandkids for a wedding in KC. This was our base for 3 days. We chose this property because of the pool and outdoor space for the kids. It was very comfortable, clean and the space worked great for our three family units. The owners were very hospitable, accommodating and easy to communicate with. The house was well-equipped and had everything we needed including outdoor grills, charcoal, pool towels, etc. It is a quiet neighborhood and there are grocery stores nearby. The location was perfect for us. Great stay. We would recommend and would stay here again if the opportunity arises. Thank you.

Perfect Spot for a Family Reunion – Beautiful Home & Exceptional Host!

We had a wonderful stay for our family reunion! The home was a great place to gather—plenty of space, and the rooms were fresh, clean, and inviting. The kids were so happy with the pool and hot tub! Shaymond was an outstanding host—very communicative and helpful. He even stopped by personally to assist with the backyard lights, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this property for families or groups looking for a comfortable and well-cared-for home base!

We completely enjoyed the stay! Our only critiques were no window coverings on some windows; and a few too many bugs/ants out by the pool! We would love to come back again for our girls weekend again, hopefully next year!

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.

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.
