About this property

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 loved this property! It had everything we needed and more - games, extra blankets and towels, pool toys, balls, kitchen essentials, and pantry staples. More importantly, it was super clean, which is always most important for us. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, layout of the house, helpful hints and great communication from the owner, location of the property, and nice touches in the home. Highly recommend!

The pool and the hot tub hit the spot. It was a hot couple days, so some wasps in the area kept landing in the pool. Otherwise, not much to complain about overall. The house fit our needs well for the 4 adults and 2 kids in our party.

About the host

Host profile image
We are the Janes Family and we would like to welcome you to our family pool house. We are life long residents of Kansas City and currently live just 15 minutes away in Overland Park, KS. My dad built this home for our family when I was just two years old and I grew up here. My brother and I inherited the home when our mom passed in 2014, and I recently remodeled both the home and swimming pool in spring of 2022. We have lots of great memories here as a family and we are excited for you to be able to make your own memories and share in the fun that we have had over the years. Please enjoy your time and make yourselves at home!

Thank you,

The Janes Family (Shaymond, Amber & Madilynn)
