About this house rental

Welcome to The Love Shack — your go-to getaway in the heart of Windsor Heights, one of Des Moines’ safest and most vibrant neighborhoods. Whether you’re gathering family, celebrating with friends, or just needing a change of scene, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat was made for connection, comfort, and a little bit of fun.

Step inside and feel the good vibes right away. There’s room for everyone — two cozy living rooms, plush king and queen beds, and plenty of spots to curl up or stretch out. You’ll find all the comforts of home (and then some): fast Wi-Fi, central heating and A/C, a washer and dryer, hairdryer, iron, and everything you need for an easy, effortless stay.

Each bathroom feels like a mini spa moment — from a deep jetted tub that’s perfect for bubble baths to bright walk-in showers that’ll start your day right.

Out back, the magic continues. Fire up the BBQ under the pergola, sip something cold, and enjoy the lush garden filled with native plants. Or head downstairs for some laughs — the dartboard, kitchenette, and costume closet make it the perfect hangout zone for game nights and silly photo ops.

Just 10 minutes from downtown Des Moines, you’ll have quick access to the best restaurants, breweries, and local gems — but you might find yourself loving your time at home just as much.

Whether it’s family time, a reunion, or a weekend escape, The Love Shack is where everyone can relax, reconnect, and feel right at home. Come for the comfort, stay for the memories — and fall in love with Des Moines all over again. 💖

Well stocked kitchen! Even well stocked bathrooms for ladies! Queen sized beds in all the bedrooms. Comfy couch. Games in the basement. Full sized dining table. Easily will be back next year if we have a small group competing at the CrossFit competition again.

Perfect space for families, soft beds and very cozy! Can’t wait to come back in the summer and enjoy the back yard.

We had a wonderful stay at the Love Shack! The house was perfect for our group. There were plenty of rooms to split up & play games, chit chat or watch tv. My great niece LOVED the dress up closet! The other young adults enjoyed the basement. Although the sectional fills the family room, it was quite comfy. The bedrooms are better than most VRBOs. Comfy beds & fairly roomy. I wish the kitchen was bigger for our group but we made it work. We even used the grill, which was nice. The neighborhood is older, but very quiet. It is very convenient to get to almost anywhere in Des Moines. There are quite a few steps, so this would not be the house for someone with mobility issues. Tiff, the host, was fantastic! She answered all of my questions and fast! Check in/out was a breeze! We definitely would consider staying her again.
