About the host
Hosted by Micole Chapman
Hi, we’re Josh and Micole—local Realtors who love helping people feel at home! This bungalow holds a special place in our hearts, as it was Micole’s very first home. For years, it was a long-term rental, but after a tornado hit last summer, we took the opportunity to fully renovate it from the studs up. The neighborhood is so charming and walkable that we couldn’t resist turning it into a furnished getaway. We live just 30 minutes away and love staying here ourselves from time to time. We’re excited to share it with guests and are always happy to offer local tips during your stay!
Why they chose this property
Waveland Park is a picturesque, historic neighborhood full of character and charm. We love how walkable it is—you can stroll to coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques, or just enjoy the tree-lined streets and beautiful early 20th-century homes. You’re truly in the heart of it all—just minutes from downtown Des Moines, Drake University, and everything else the city has to offer. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, you’ll love how convenient (and cute!) this neighborhood is.
What makes this property unique
What makes our home truly special is the blend of historic charm and brand-new everything! After tornado damage led to a full renovation, we carefully restored the character while updating it with modern amenities. You’ll love the vaulted ceilings, stunning cabinetry, and newly refinished hardwood floors. Outside, enjoy a peaceful backyard perfect for relaxing, plus a sweet little neighborhood lending library just steps away—one of our favorite touches!
