The Kansas City Metro is basically a car town. There is public bus service, but it's pretty limited.

If you drove here or rented a car... GREAT! It takes 20-30 to get COMPLETELY to the other side of the Kansas City Metro area, and your vacation rental is 5-15 minutes from multiple, major entertainment, shopping, recreation and dining areas.

Uber and other ride share services are plentiful as well.

If you go to downtown Kansas City, MO I would also suggest looking into the free streetcar, parking at one end of the route or in the middle, and hitting up the numerous attractions, art galleries, restaurants and shopping that are available. It's CLEAN and FREE!

We had an amazing time at Joe and Veronica's. We arrived to homemade cookies and beautiful fresh flowers throughout. Such great amenities and thoughtful touches. There were seven people comfortably in this large home with endless opportunities of comfy and cozy places to sit indoors and out! Instructions were so easy to follow, they were so easy to communicate with and responsive. It was perfectly located by the wedding location and short drive to all KC has to offer.

The house was clean, beautiful and just as described in the listing. Great gathering areas both inside and outside to enjoy. Grandkids were able to ride their scooters on the driveway and street and had a great time. Would definitely stay again.

Really cool house in a really cool neighborhood. We had a group of eight staying at this house for a baseball tournament in the area. The house was convenient to the ball parks and we enjoyed the outdoor seating areas to relax after games. Inside, there was plenty of room for the kids and adults to spread out. Loved how all off the TVs had good stereo systems. Highly recommended!

I can not say enough good things about this property and it hosts! The house itself is clean and bright. Each room had vases of real flowers that made the stay so charming! The layout of the house makes it so everyone can have their own space if they need it but also several rooms that are useful for family time. The kitchen was fully stocked with any cooking utensil we could ever need along with items for our 10 month old baby which was so helpful since we forgot her high chair and they had one! The house itself is at the end of a cul-de-sac so there was no traffic and it is so peaceful . The other nice thing is there is no large book of rules like some other houses have. The host kept it simple giving a nice note for check out directions and places to have fun around town this really helped keep the stay stress free! The host Joe and Veronica were so lovely communicating with short kind texts to give any last minute info and just check that we had everything we needed. They really made the stay wonderful! We Will be staying here again whenever we visit family.

Our stay in Joseph’s home in Shawnee was absolute perfection! We hosted an 80th birthday party for our mother in Olathe and we needed a spot for her to relax with all 3 of her kids, spouses and the Alaska grandsons! The house has so much space and the photos online do not do justice! The kitchen was our gathering point and was perfect for preparing all of the food for our party in Olathe. The kitchen is furnished with EVERYTHING! The guys were all thrilled to sit at the round table and play cards at every free moment! One thing we appreciated were all of the special touches like fresh flowers tucked throughout, the live plants are gorgeous and the deck was perfect once the rains/storms let up! We have spent our whole lives in the KC area and this is one little spot we had never been to…..the neighborhood is immaculate, quiet and just close enough to anything and everything! The next time we need a gathering spot in KC we will contact Joseph!Thank you for making my Mom’s birthday so special!
