About this property

5BR Family Home Near Missouri Botanical Garden | Parking in Back | Shaw STL

Welcome to Shaw Sanctuary — a 5-bedroom, 3-bath home in Shaw that sleeps 12 and comes with dedicated 2-car parking behind the house. A natural choice for large families, multi-family trips, and group visits to St. Louis. The home blends original wood floors and classic architectural details with modern updates. Walk in and it feels like a home, not a rental — the kind of space where people naturally spread across floors and settle in. The dining table seats everyone at once, which matters when 12 people want to eat breakfast together. The kitchen handles group meal prep. Missouri Botanical Garden is a 5-minute walk — 79 acres with the Climatron conservatory and Japanese Garden. Tower Grove Park is 10 minutes on foot. South Grand's 40+ international restaurants are 8 minutes away on foot. Downtown, the Gateway Arch, City Museum, and The Magic House are 10-15 minutes by car. One bedroom has a private balcony — a nice detail for the couple who books it first. Dedicated 2-car parking in back + free street parking. Kid-friendly. Dogs welcome ($75, 2 max). Self check-in via keypad. Check-in: 4 PM | Check-out: 10 AM.

We enjoy staying at historic homes in great neighborhoods and this was one of them! The only complaint we have are that the beds are uncomfortable. The addition of a mattress topper might be helpful? We gave this rental three stars because the quality of sleep is an important aspect of renting a VRBO.

Thank you, Julie. We’re so glad you enjoyed the charm of the home and the neighborhood—it’s one of our favorite parts of this property too.

Your suggestion about adding mattress toppers is a great one, and we’ll be looking into that right away to improve future guests’ comfort.

We loved our stay at this house in St. Louis. The house easily accommodated 4 families and met all of our needs. We would absolutely stay here again. The house is in a fabulous location. Most everything we did (all major sights) was within 10-15 min max from the house, with a majority being 10 min or less. The house is next to a lovely cafe and within walking distance to Missouri Botanical Gardens. The neighborhood was safe. There were two parking spots reserved for the house but plenty of street parking.

STL getaway

We chose STL because it was central to our families. Our grandsons were on spring break which is why we visited this time of year. The house was very clean and very central to so many activities. We ended up have pretty good weather considering it can literally be any season at this time. Highly recommend this property.
