It was a great space for me and my family to stay. We all had a room and then a gathering space to enjoy. The location was great and we were able to use the outside amenities.
We were in town visiting our in-laws and this was the perfect place for our family of 4. The beds were comfortable, the house was stocked with everything we could need, and it was in a great area right near the Plaza.
This was the most well appointed home for a short term rental that we have ever stayed in. It was in an amazing location, afforded everyone space, and allowed us to spend a wonderful five days during the holiday season with our KC family. The owner has thought of everything from bathroom toiletries. You may have forgotten, earplugs if you need them to sleep, and icemaker when the refrigerator icemaker was broken, and outlets to charge your devices. We didnât use the outside space because it was winter in Kansas City. We will definitely stay here again when we return.
I have now stayed at Lance's home for about 3 years coming home to see my family in the KC area and have nothing but the best to say about him and his beautiful home!! It is now "my go to" home every time I come to visit! I have looked at a LOT of listings and his wins hands down. Thank so much Lance! See you next year!!
This property was in a nice neighborhood. The house was a quaint older house. There were some issues that needed to be addressed. We contacted Lance with Karat Vacation Rental Management. He was very considerate and kind. All issues were addressed, but not feasible to take care of them while we were still renting as we were leaving the day after we talked to him. An agreement was reached that he would refund an amount of our rent that we agreed was fair. We left Kansas City with a very good feeling about Karat Vacation Rental Management!
The pros:
Great neighborhood location, close to country club plaza, restaurants, shopping etc..cozy home nicely decorated. We enjoyed our stay here despite the following..
The cons:
Could use upgrade on all linens and towels- really thin small, worn
Kitchen needs a few more things to enhance the stay
Tv systems outdated, complicated
House is more worn than than the photos
* Check/ double check your reservation w host..on our last day we were called/ texted at 1030 am that there had been a mix up and a new reservation was scheduled to start. We were told that we needed to check out..(We did extend our stay by one day due to airline challenges early on, paid for and was approved for extension). We were offered the refund and a stay in another of their properties.. we chose to stay in a hotel for our final night.( we paid for) Asked why the other reservation was not placed elsewhere since we were already in the home and was told â they had their reservation for monthsâ. Although the host was apologetic, really didnât think this was acceptable.
Pros: House was nicely decorated, walking distance to the Plaza area, and has a nice master suite and outdoor patio. The master bed was comfortable.
Cons: I took off star ratings because the home needs deep cleaning and detailed maintenance. One bed looked like it had been slept in (cover was pulled up, but the pillows and sheets were rumpled underneath). The kitchen and half-bath had no towels, there was trash left in the kitchen and bath trash cans, floors were not well vacuumed, and there were crumbs on the dining table. Kitchen was sparsely supplied, drawers needed cleaning on the inside, and some lights were burned out. We ran out of tissue and body soap in a bathroom and couldn't find any back-up supplies.
My main concern are the wonky steps from the parking pad a few feet down to the back yard and door entry. They are hard to navigate and downright dangerous, especially when you're carrying luggage. I have notified the property manager that they need to be replaced with a staircase.
We had a wonderful stay in the residence it was exactly what we needed for our weekend get away. Close to town and perfect for when going to arrowhead stadium.
We enjoyed are quick weekend stay at this property. The property manager was very helpful with request and easy to communicate with. The location was very central to the popular Plaza area.
Location of this house is perfect! It's near everything. Grocery store , liquor store đ€Ș and so much more. Our family (6) all have plenty of room to move around without stepping on each other.
The property was great. Very clean and had everything we needed. My wife and I and our 2 kids stayed for the weekend and it was a perfect. Will stay again when we come back to KC
The house was perfect for our girls getaway. It was clean and furnished with everything we needed. Walking distance to Plaza. Hi Hat coffee just a couple blocks away. Would definitely stay here again!
Smelled like cat pee and a dead animal in the walls. Dirt hair over the floors. Spills on counters. Thick coating of dirt and dust on everything. Door knobs all sticky. Disgusting would never recommend. I contacted the owner four times and never heard back. DO NOT STAY HERE. I have pictures the owner did not respond to view them. Will post online. DO NOT STAY. A
Older home, property manager never responded when asked to get in touch. House needs some finer touch ups and taking care. Was okay for our needs for the three nights.
Tastefully decorated, charming home in a quiet neighborhood. Centrally located and just a few minutes walk or drive from everything we planned to see and do. Having a "home away from home" made our stay much easier, especially with the heat during the days we visited. Our group was able to gather and relax in the common spaces of the home which was so much more pleasant than cramped hotel spaces. Be sure to wander about a block west to enjoy Hi Hat coffee in the mornings!
Our stay was tranquil. The neighborhood is quiet and the backyard is tucked away which was great for the kids. We had a great time and the communication was fast and informative.
The overall stay was great, I would suggest a couple of touch up items. Front glass door was very dirty, backyard could have been mowed and weed eated...sticks, old bread and some cigarette butts. some of the light bulbs were out, but found some to replace them. TV was a little difficult to operate...one of the remotes batteries were dead and you could not change the Input function, but figured it out. The air went out the last evening, but Lance called someone to come out and they fixed it. We really liked having a home to stay in instead of a hotel room. will more than likely stay in a VRBO again...Thanks
Super quaint property in the perfect KC location. Loved the details inside from hardwood floors to beautiful wood trim. Lots of room and everyone said the beds were extremely comfortable. Was hoping to enjoy the outside fireplace but ran into a little rain. We enjoyed our stay and would definetly rent this property again.
