It’s very staying at a home while on vacation
Our family of 8 (2 adults/2 teen/3 children/1 infant) stayed for 5 days. We had a rough time with checking in. This was due to a new cleaning person taking longer than expected (~2 hr. delay), amd overall the property was clean, however the cleaning person forgot to dust the fans in the bedrooms, and soap/shampoo dispenser was missing in the upstairs bathroom. Although the online description states basic spices and condiments would be in the kitchen, there was nothing. And while the home slept 8, the dishes in the kitchen need to be increased to accommodate the same. The beds we’re comfortable and the air conditioning worked well, especially in the downstairs. I would suggest upgrading the TVs to smart TV with a couple streaming services (i.e. - Netflix and Disney Plus) If you have a smaller family (2 adult and 2-3 kids), this place would be great, but it’s needs some enhancements (mainly in the kitchen) to accommodate larger families.
Very pleased with the quite cul-de-sac. Very peaceful, friendly neighbors, very Americana setting. The one neighbor even had chickens roaming in the backyard and on Sunday deer were walking through the yard next door as we were leaving. We were only 7-8 minutes from family in St. Charles and west St Louis. The house was like living at home. Homey feeling and very comfortable. Just like home, a few missed crumbs on the floor. ? Our clan was very pleased.
Clean. Quiet. Comfortable overall. Beds were nice with lots of pillows. Well stocked. Only thing I missed was a keurig coffee maker. Nice little suburb of st louis. With lots of other little suburbs around. Easy to get to st louis.
Have had a good experience staying the past three years with varying stays. Hosts have provided what we’ve needed and responsive.
We came to St. Louis for a speech tournament. This was a much cheaper option than a hotel. We shared it with another family. The house was clean and met our needs.
The inside could use a deep cleaning throughout the house. TV was not a smart TV, only cable. No access to stream channels. For the price per night, the location, and size of house it was a value.
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the red door house. There was plenty of room to gather together or get away from the crowd. Close enough to visit St. Charles, the Arch, Zoo lights and the Delmar Loop. The kitchen was well stocked and the home was clean. The 4 deer walking through the backyard each morning was a nice treat. I would stay here again when visiting St. Louis.
Spacious and well furnished. Location was good for what we wanted to do. Indoor garage parking a plus. Nice deck out back. Would stay here again in the future.
Great location. Was about 20 min from all the attractions we went to in St Louis.
Nice place to stay. A/C works great even in 100+ temps. Communication with host was great. Check in couldn't be easier. Easy drive into St Louis.
The house was just what we were looking for. Perfect distance from the amphitheater which is why we booked here to attend a concert. But the main feature was definitely the fenced in back yard for our fur baby that has to go with us everywhere because she is 15 and has cancer so thank you for allowing us to bring that “family member” with us. Definitely renting again on the next trip.
We walked in to an unlocked, stale smelling house. I cleaned the visibly dripping dust from the living room ceiling fan. The baseboards and other surfaces are also dusty and the ceiling vent in the downstairs bedroom is a very unappealing sight to wake up to each morning. Why were we charged a cleaning fee? The main reason we picked this location was for the dog friendly fenced in back yard. That was nice including the deck, although it was disappointing that the overgrown lawn wasn’t mowed until day 4 of our stay. There is a discrepancy in the communication about check out. Our email “Here are the keys…,” clearly states check out at 12:00. Further into the body of this letter the check out instructions say check out is 1:00 p.m. or earlier. The property owner has 11:00 in the instructions binder. It wasn't a big deal to us, but we tried to share this with the owner out of courtesy and got no response other than it's 11. There was no direct contact information for the hosts even though they say 6 times in their binder, let us know if you need something. There was no real welcome or appreciation communicated by the owner. One of the owners was at the house one day and didn't bother to say hello. Very odd. Time to toss the rusted bakeware and cookware. The main bath tile is pretty, however we puzzled over how to turn the cold water tap on and off. Speaking of cold, we woke up in the middle of the night to find the temp at 65 degrees and the house feeling like a meat locker. We hadn't touched it. Not sure the thermostat is working properly. Overall, the property has potential but can use a great bit of TLC. We read the reviews and they didn't come close to matching The Red Door that we rented.
My husband and I loved the property. Perfect for our week visiting family in the area. Fenced yard was great for the dogs, and an entrance to the Fee Fee greenway trail was only a block and a half away for morning walks. Owners were prompt to reply to any questions. Plan to stay again next trip out!
There are some areas that need some maintenance and attention, but the overall space worked for what we needed.
