What guests think
At Oasis Near Water/Theme Park with Pool/Hot Tub, guests consistently highlight a clean, spacious home that works well for families and groups, with a backyard pool, hot tub, and deck, and a quiet, convenient location near local attractions.
Many guests praise responsive hosts and easy check-in. Recurring nitpicks include uncomfortable beds for some, occasional pool maintenance or shade limitations outdoors, and a few tech frustrations with TVs/remotes. A small number experienced weather-related disruptions, including one short-notice cancellation and a temporarily out-of-service pool that was addressed during the stay. Expect a practical, group-friendly base centered on pool and hot tub time.

The house fit our needs well. Friends and family in town for a wrestling tournament and the house worked great for all to meet up at and enjoy spending time together. Nice neighborhood. Large back yard and hot tub. Look forward to coming back in the summer to the same location.

Our trip was awesome. Very relaxing. Quick trip to parks. But also loved the pool and hot tub. We’d definitely come back we had a wonderful time.

Our overall experience at the Oasis was good, and I would come back if we visit Waterloo again. The location is pleasant, easy to get to attractions, and the house itself was as described. This is not going to be a luxurious property, and I think that is fine at the price point. Memorable parts of the home are the pool, deck, and many bedrooms that provide privacy during the stay. The house was clean, and had a reasonably well maintained interior. My only watch outs on the property: 1) There were missing remotes and remotes that didn't function with the TV they were near. In theory each bedroom had a Roku, but in practice it didn't work. Ideally there would be a more cohesive setup with the network. 2) The pool is definitely adequate, but the exterior is missing shade off the back. I think there is an opportunity for a future pergola or large retractable awning to help with sun exposure. Very good trip, and a fine place to stay. I think it's a great location if you intend to use the nearby casino, waterpark, and theme park.

Mother nature threw a curve ball right before our stay. Host was dealing with some water damage due to power outage. We arrived after a 3 hour drive, only to find an empty pool. But Host Justin communicated the issue and he was on it, making sure he had the professionals there fixing everything and we were able to enjoy the pool and comfortable stay at this house. I now trust any future bookings with this host will go above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Justin and Kyle!

Our stay was practically perfect, but the pool and outdoor area (which we were the most excited about) were a little underwhelming. The pool was very cloudy and a light green color. There are many overgrown weeds next to the pool as well. The filter for the pool seemed to be broken, but luckily the robot vacuum worked. All in all I would recommend staying here but I don’t think that I would return.

We had a great time! Justin was excellent in his communication and it was an overall awesome experience. A few things that I want to note- The pool isn’t heated, but felt great on a hot summer day. Need a couple more umbrellas for shade. The grill needs to be updated - it’s been well-used. The beds aren’t the most comfortable, but are fine for a short stay. The bunk bed room was great for kids. There’s Wi-Fi, but no cable TV. There is both a Keurig and drip coffee pot- YEAH!! Overall, it’s a great value and I recommend this property!

We had plenty of beds for our team and we saved money be being able to stay here rather than a hotel. The young ladies enjoyed the ability to build team unity due to the togetherness it provided. The outside seating was just what we needed after the first round of the tournament ended in the early afternoon. We ate outside and relaxed in the patio furniture, pool, and whirlpool. Thank you.

We found the booking, check-in, and check-out procedures so easy. The house was very clean with many extras. The location was quiet and yet close to much shopping as well as many restaurants and attractions. We will be looking at booking this same property in the future.

This is a beautiful and spacious home in Waterloo. It was a perfect place to stay for everyone in my group. They even had a highchair available for our little one, which was a wonderful suprise. The yard is very spacious and the deck was beautiful. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We would live to rent again on our next trip out!

Our overall experience at the Oasis was good, and I would come back if we visit Waterloo again. The location is pleasant, easy to get to attractions, and the house itself was as described. This is not going to be a luxurious property, and I think that is fine at the price point. Memorable parts of the home are the pool, deck, and many bedrooms that provide privacy during the stay. The house was clean, and had a reasonably well maintained interior. My only watch outs on the property: 1) There were missing remotes and remotes that didn't function with the TV they were near. In theory each bedroom had a Roku, but in practice it didn't work. Ideally there would be a more cohesive setup with the network. 2) The pool is definitely adequate, but the exterior is missing shade off the back. I think there is an opportunity for a future pergola or large retractable awning to help with sun exposure. Very good trip, and a fine place to stay. I think it's a great location if you intend to use the nearby casino, waterpark, and theme park.

Great location, quiet and convenient to all we wanted to do. The pool and hot tub were added bonuses.

Very clean, quiet and easy access. Was able to spend time with family with plenty of room for the adults and kids to spread out.

We found the booking, check-in, and check-out procedures so easy. The house was very clean with many extras. The location was quiet and yet close to much shopping as well as many restaurants and attractions. We will be looking at booking this same property in the future.

It was too cold to enjoy the pool/hot tub but overall everything was great and very accommodating for our family! Always appreciate staying there when we come to Iowa!

Communication with the host was great, check in and out was very easy. It was a prefect place for my family to stay while attending the youth wresting tournaments. Unfortunately it was not summer time to enjoy the pool and hot-tub which are nice features for this place.

Mother nature threw a curve ball right before our stay. Host was dealing with some water damage due to power outage. We arrived after a 3 hour drive, only to find an empty pool. But Host Justin communicated the issue and he was on it, making sure he had the professionals there fixing everything and we were able to enjoy the pool and comfortable stay at this house. I now trust any future bookings with this host will go above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Justin and Kyle!
