Explore the vibrant attractions of St. Louis right from the doorstep of our home! Situated just minutes away from the city's top destinations, this St. Louis abode offers convenient access to all the must-see sights and activities.

For family-friendly fun, don't miss out on The City Museum, a unique destination that promises a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors of all ages. Union Station, a historic landmark since 1894, now features an exciting new aquarium, a temperature-controlled Ferris Wheel, a mini-golf course, and a variety of restaurants, providing endless entertainment options.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the stunning Botanical Gardens, where you can explore captivating exhibits like the butterfly exhibit without needing transportation. And, of course, no visit to St. Louis is complete without a trip to the iconic Gateway Arch and downtown area, just a short 8-minute drive away.

Sports fans can catch a game at Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals, or the Enterprise Center, where the 2019 Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues play. Both are just a quick Uber ride from home. Indulge in delicious Italian cuisine at The Hill or enjoy live music and cocktails at Scarlett's Wine Bar in the Central West End for a romantic evening.
Forest Park is the largest city park in the country, and nature lovers will find plenty to explore. The park offers activities like paddleboarding at the boathouse, golfing at The Forest Park Golf Course, and visiting the animals at the Saint Louis Zoo.

In the neighborhood, you can enjoy outdoor adventures at Creve Coeur Lake, rent kayaks and paddleboards, book a tee time at The Quarry at Crystal Springs, or embark on a thrilling treetop adventure at Go Ape Treetop Adventure. With so much to see and do nearby, your St. Louis getaway promises to be filled with unforgettable experiences!

LOCAL BOOKING POLICY
To ensure the best experience for all our guests and maintain the integrity of our home, we do not allow reservations from guests who reside locally (within the same city or surrounding area as the property).

To prevent further incidents, we are enforcing stricter screening for local reservations. If you are a local resident looking to book for a special circumstance, please reach out before booking. Unapproved local reservations are subject to cancellation.

Disclaimer: For the safety of our properties and our guests, we require guests to verify their identity and check their criminal background to confirm a reservation.

Location is great for being close to attractions! Host is very communicative and accommodating. Spacious for a family of 5. The furniture was a little worn in the family room for the most part. Could use a cleaning. Fun board games to play. Ample linens and towels for our family.

St. Louis Memorial Day Weekend

Our stay at JZ Vacation Rentals property exceeded our expectations and we thank the property owners for making our weekend problem free. Our 17-month-old granddaughter made a bit of noise when she arrived Friday night and must have upset others in the building as it was brought to our attention, for that we do apologize. I would highly recommend the property and perhaps rent it again on our next visit to St. Louis.

Great first floor spacious apartment

Space and location were perfect for our weekend visit home to St. Louis. 3 large bedrooms worked great for our family. Kid friendly space with comfortable furniture. Pack and play and high chair were a plus. Loved having 1.5 baths. 3 TVs were set up with cable and easy to use. Kitchen was well stocked. One parking space in back was a plus. Easy walking distance to tower grove farmers market, playground, and the botanic gardens. Would definitely reserve the apartment again.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The unit was nice, not the cleanest, but it was ok. Check in and out was easy and management was prompt to any questions I had. The first thing I noticed when entering the unit was a very strong smell of marijuana. The smell was present throughout the whole stay. Having my three-year-old in that was extremely frustrating. To make matters worse, there was a joint on the front patio which I took a picture of. The last night of my stay my three-year-old had a three-minute temper tantrum and I immediately got a text message stating "I have exceeded the noise limit." This occurred at 8:30 PM and quiet hours start at 10:00 PM. I found this concerning that if they are able to detect noise, are they able to listen to conversations, etc.? Noise travels easily in this unit. I could hear the upstairs neighbors throughout the day/night, and a few times the noise traveled into the AM hours. I would not stay in this unit again, I but did appreciate the neighborhood it being close to many community activities.

Visiting home

I grew up in St. Louis and try to get back to visit family and friends once a year. We usually stay in VRBOs in the Central West End or the Tower Grove/Hill neighborhoods. This was one of the nicer places we've stayed. It's a large three-bedroom apartment on the first floor, within easy walking distance of Tower Grove Park and the Missouri Botanical Garden. The layout, because of the remodeling, is unusual, with two front doors, including one into the main bedroom, but it worked fine. My only complaint is that it needs three-prong electrical outlets. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay

It was great and it was very comfortable to stay. The only thing I had a bit of a problem with was the parking in the back of the property. The other 2 cars that are parked back there did not take in consideration that I was parking back there as well. I have a medium/big vehicle and it was a bit of a tight squeeze

Great flat, great neighborhood

Really enjoyed our time in the Southwest Garden. What a charming area — tree-lined streets with grand old brick houses, duplexes and four-plexes. Walking distance to the Botanical Garden and Tower Grove Park. A short hop to The Hill, The Grove, or onto 44 which gets you right into downtown. Loved it.

Functional and good location

We stayed for 5 nights. The location was great for all the activities we had planned, i.e. Six Flags, Zoo, Botanical Garden etc. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed having a space together. Being able to do laundry was a plus as was a full kitchen. However, the only reasons we did not give a 4 or 5 star rating is due to the lack of insulation between the two floors. This is somewhat expected with older townhomes. Ordinarily this alone wouldn't have bothered us but whoever was staying above us had a small very yippy dog. I dont know if they live there or were visitors as well, either way it was annoying. Rhey would leave early and crate the poor dog leaving it to howl and cry in protest for over 2 hours. If you've had a long day waking up the next morning to that is not fun. The property management did respond quickly and it seemed to be curbed to an extent. Would we stay again? Probably but i would want confirmation that the dog wouldn't be there. Great location, enjoyed our stay abd appreciate the property management response.

Good overall

I was a little hesitant upon arrival as the property is listed as “luxury”, however, it is an old house with all the quirks that come with an old house. That being said, the property was clean and overall enjoyable. The neighborhood felt safe and was quiet. We frequently saw people out walking their dogs or going for a run. Safety was my biggest concern so that was great. If you are traveling with a small child, I would suggest bringing your own pack n play as the one at the property is stained and I was more comfortable having my child sleep in it. The kitchen and bathrooms are very small.
