About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy Shaw Sanctuary | JZ Vacation Rentals

Welcome to our elegantly restored duplex home in St. Louis, where old-world craftsmanship meets modern luxury. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by gleaming hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and cozy, modern furnishings. The living room features royal blue sofas and a wall-mounted HDTV, perfect for relaxing evenings. In the kitchen, stainless steel appliances, white cabinets, and black solid-surface counters create a stylish space for culinary adventures.

With five lovely bedrooms, including a main floor bedroom with a king-size bed, and four additional bedrooms upstairs, sleeping up to 12 guests, everyone will find their perfect retreat. Each bedroom is thoughtfully appointed, and two shared bathrooms offer convenience and comfort.

Outside, a petite porch provides a charming spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverage, while a fenced yard offers space for kids and pets to play. For added convenience, we provide a full-size washer and dryer, as well as a high chair and playpen. Our property is ideally located just minutes from St. Louis's top attractions, including the St. Louis Arch, Busch Stadium, and Forest Park. Whether you're exploring the city or enjoying a romantic night out, there's something for everyone nearby.

Weekly and Monthly pricing will vary throughout the year. Please reach out to us directly for more information.

THE PROPERTY

Bedroom 1 - 1 King Bed
Bedroom 2 - 2 Queen Beds
Bedroom 3 - 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 4 - 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 5 - 1 Queen Bed

Standard Occupancy: 10
Maximum number of guests: 12
An additional $25/night fee will be charged for guests exceeding the number of standard occupants.

We also welcome pets as part of the family, but to maintain cleanliness and comfort for all guests, we implement a pet fee of $75 per stay. Guests must notify us in advance if they plan to bring a pet; a maximum of two pets are allowed per rental unit. Pet owners are responsible for any damages caused by their pets, and adherence to pet-related house rules, such as leash requirements and waste disposal guidelines, is required. By booking with us and bringing a pet, guests agree to comply with these terms. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

THE LOCATION

Plenty keeps you busy in the St. Louis Area, whether you are in town for family or friends. This St. Louis home is in a prime location just minutes from all the best attractions! If you're traveling with kids, be sure to check out The City Museum. It's not quite what you would expect from a “museum” per se. The City Museum has been voted a must-see destination in St. Louis.

Let's not forget our most famous attraction here in The Gateway to the West. You will be a 10-minute drive to the St. Louis Arch and downtown. Are you a baseball or hockey fan? Busch Stadium, the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Enterprise Center, the home of the 2019 Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues, are both within a 10-minute drive from this home. Be sure to catch a game because St. Louis has some awesome sports fans!

Maybe you're looking for a romantic night out? Be sure to check out The Hill for great Italian food or head over to the Central West End for live music and cocktails at Scarlett's Wine Bar.

Lastly, Forest Park has a little bit of everything for the outdoorsy person! Dine at the boathouse, rent paddle boards, get a tee time at The Forest Park Golf Course, and see some animals at the Saint Louis Zoo! This is the largest city park in the country (yes, it's larger than Central Park in NYC), so there is plenty to explore.

Quick fall family trip to STL
Great location! Our family used to live in the same neighborhood and we really appreciated the close proximity to Tower Grove Park, the Science Center, zoo, and Botanical Gardens. Extra bonus from being across the street from one of our favorite neighborhood cafes (Fiddlehead Fern). Very clean! My wife commented that it was one of the cleaner Vrbos we’ve stayed at.

We rented both the Left and Right side of the Shaw property for our family and extended family. Both places were clean and accommodating. The beds were very comfortable! The neighborhood is cute and has a number of wakable restaurants and coffee shops. We will definitely stay here again!

Handy Access
We stayed at this property for a family vacation. The location was great for getting to various attractions. The neighborhood that the house was located in seems to be undergoing revitalization, and there were so fun shops, etc. The size of the house was great for our family. The property was not very well taken care of, as the baseboards were filthy and the walls and woodwork definitely needed to be painted.

Great house for a Family
This a a beautiful older home and had plenty of room for the 10 of us. It was very conveniently located to all the places we wanted to see. It's in a lovely neighborhood. There were two parking spots in the back and then safe, available parking on the street.

Perfect for our family reunion
We rented both units (right side and left side), giving us a total of 10 bedrooms for our large family reunion (in St. Louis for our son's wedding). The long tables made it easy for everyone to eat together and visit, and the beds were very comfortable. My only "complaint" is that the dining chairs (although cool and modern to look at) were very uncomfortable. We preferred sitting on the patio chairs we brought inside over the chairs in the unit.

Excellent Getaway!
The property was more than I could ever hope for. My family was ,so impressed with the accommodations they never left to explore the city of St. Louis. They grilled and enjoyed each others company while they took in the wonder of the house. The property is definitely a jewel in the Shaw District.

The stay was okay.
The location was mediocre however we did love the neighborhood restaurants that were close by. The house was not overly clean. At minimum it needs a new paint job throughout the whole building. Very old building with likely original hundred year old windows. Historic area.

Family from Carol Stream, IL
We enjoyed our stay. We really liked that it had a large size dining table to accommodate our family so we can hang out together. The place had most everything we needed. The only thing that worried us was the steep staircase because we had my 91 year old Mom. But that was not really a problem bec we were very careful with her. Our 5yr old boy knew to be very careful when going up & down the stairs. All in all our family enjoyed your house and had a wonderful stay. Thank you so very much.

Nice house with plenty of space
Very nice house with plenty of space for our large group of 8 people. My only complaint was with the downstairs shower. The plumbing was such that when you ran the shower half the water came out of the bottom faucet and half came out of the shower head, making for poor water pressure.

Great place and location!
We enjoyed our stay at your place! It was in a wonderful location, and we enjoyed the Shaw Art Festival and Tower Grove Park. We had my elderly parents with us, and they stayed in the main-level bedroom because they had trouble with the stairs. Our only issue was with the shower upstairs above the front door. We had difficulty regulating the temperature. Other than that, it was perfect! Thank you!

Good stay! Lots of room, lots of light! Clean, pleasant surroundings! Close to most services and locations. Could use more common kitchen condiments - salt, sugar, coffee,etc. and dish cloths to use during stay. Rail outside front door detached from wall - dangerous to older folks especially. Suggest that you trim greenery encroaching on parking space in back. Thanks for a good stay.

Wedding Get Together
We combined two families into one when we shared our “I do’s” last year. Our first time together as one family under one roof for another wedding in stl. The location was perfect for Art Hill and the zoo. The space was ideal. The bedrooms we’re spacious and the 3 baths were perfect. Dining room table was awesome. We hung out in the living room and while it’s smaller, we brought in extra chairs and sat on the floor. It was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked but no kitchen towels. Thankful for a washer and dryer. We did need to use it every night for the bath towels. The place wasn’t the cleanest, but it really worked well for us. The a/c went out in the evening and maintenance was there in about an hour and stayed several hours until it was fixed. Would highly recommend.
