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.

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!

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!

This is a wonderful property. Even better than what is reflected in the pictures. I stayed here with 5 of my girlfriends for my 60th birthday. Lots of areas to gather inside - the spacious living room with a vaulted ceiling, the open dining area into the kitchen, and the basement where there is a pool table, bar and some seating. The outdoor area is really good. A wooden deck off the kitchen. The area around the pool and hot tub is spacious. There are at least 15 chairs between the two tables with umbrellas and the lounge chairs. The hot tub is spacious. We didn't use the cornhole, board games or ping pong - but between those offerings and the pool, there is much here to keep a group entertained. The owners were friendly, accommodating, and communicative. Location makes it easy to access downtown.
