One of the best VRBO experiences! Such a beautiful home and area. Right by Lake Shawnee and great for hosting a group! Would recommend to anyone and will be back!
The house was even more beautiful in person and had more sleeping spots than we needed, even for a group of 18! It was spotless, located in a nice area, and had a good energy about it, we especially loved the wooded area of the back deck. I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone.
The house was great! Very clean, plus new carpets, awesome basement, very cool deck! Lots of room for parking. Easy in and out with garage code. Quick access to highway.Fast communication with owner. Would definitely stay here again!
The house met our needs perfectly - plenty of room for two families for the weekend and gathering for our extended families.

About the host
Your host
My wife and I are local Topeka hosts, and Aquarius House is part of our effort to create comfortable, well-run homes for families, teams, and groups visiting the area.
We enjoy hosting because we know how hard it can be to travel with kids, extended family, sports teams, or a larger group. Hotels can be expensive, crowded, and inconvenient. Our goal is to give guests a clean, spacious home where everyone can spread out, cook meals, do laundry, relax between activities, and enjoy their time together.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because of its location near Lake Shawnee. Aquarian Acres is quiet and residential, but still close to parks, trails, sports facilities, pickleball courts, golf, lake activities, and easy access around Topeka. It is a great area for families and tournament travelers.
What makes this property unique
What makes Aquarius House unique is the amount of space and flexibility it offers. The main level gives adults private bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dining, laundry, and deck access. The basement gives kids, teammates, or larger groups their own hangout space with bunk rooms, couches, TVs, a pool table/ping-pong table, and a stand-up multigame arcade with 60+ games. Add in the two-level deck, wooded backyard view, grill, garage, carport, and extra parking, and the home works especially well for guests who need more than a standard hotel room.
