This house was very quaint and immaculately maintained, and located in a cute quiet neighborhood in West Campus. We loved all the amenities, including the fenced in backyard and cozy patio, as well as free parking. Within walking distance of many restaurants and campus activities. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. We hope to stay here again sometime!

Home away from home

This VRBO felt like staying at a friend's house while they were away. It was comfortable and felt like a home (books, porch swing, plants, etc.) The location was convenient and the beds were comfortable.

Great place to stay

This house was perfect for a visit to my son who lives in West Campus. Lovely quiet street, great location and comfortable house. We felt really at home. Only sad part was that the weather was terrible so we never got to enjoy the cute backyard!
