The house was wonderful, exactly as pictured. The host was incredibly responsive and checked in regularly to make sure everything was good with the house and to see if we needed anything. My only regret is that we didn’t get to stay longer to enjoy it more!
House is fantastic and the host is quick to respond We enjoyed the home and this was our second visit in the past few months. Was too cold to use the pool hopefully next visit!!
My coworker and I stayed here during a work trip and greatly enjoyed the home. It was clean and perfect to relax at the end of the day. I will likely stay here again if work brings me back through!
Great property in close proximity to downtown Austin and the airport. Also conveniently located near McKinney Park. The house has many upgrades and guests feel very comfortable staying here. We highly recommend this property.
We loved the property! The pool, outdoor seating area, well appointed bedrooms, nicely stocked kitchen with basics. Even had cold beer and water to welcome us. Wou highly recommend this property.
We had a great stay this past weekend. This was one of the best VRBO's we have stayed it. All essentials were provided. The property was clean and there was plenty of room. And let me tell you the beds and pillows were amazing!!!
My family stayed one night as my daughter was competing at the state track meet. The house was perfect and just as the pictures showed. The outdoor living spaces were relaxing and peaceful. The beds were also nice and the kitchen was well stocked for us to cook a big breakfast the morning of the track meet. If we ever make it back to Austin I will for sure try to book here again.
We had an excellent time at this lovely property. there was plenty of space and a great outdoor space for hanging out.
The master bedroom could use a new shower head, and two-ply toilet paper would be appreciated, but overall we were highly satisfied with the property.
We especially appreciated how well equipped the kitchen was. thanks for the great stay!
The property exceeded expectations, particularly the backyard, which provided a tranquil and refreshing ambiance. Although our stay was brief, we intend to return in the future to fully experience all the amenities available.
This property was great - lots of attention to detail that made it comfortable for our group. You can tell that a lot of thought went into touches that would be nice for guests - good toiletries, great tea selection, nice towels. It was great space for five of us. Great communication from the host.
This home was very clean, well equipped and provided a comfortable place to rest and relax after completing a full days work. The backyard lounge was terrific! Located near downtown in a transitioning neighborhood, we would definitely stay again when in town.
The house was perfectly located just south of downtown. We rented a SUV to get around and the house was close to everything. It's situated in older quiet neighborhood. The hot tub was much needed after running around all day. Would definitely stay here again!
Fabulous VRBO that exceeded all of our expectations.
Didn't have a chance to use the pool, but it looks beautiful. The rooms were large and beautifully decorated and the outdoor areas were perfect for quiet conversations. Joshua was a perfect host and replied to emails
This house was excellent for our family getaway to Austin. It's obvious a lot of care and attention went into completely renovating this older home. The contemporary design and amenities made us feel right at home. We enjoyed time on the back porch, relaxing in the hot tub, and visiting nearby SoCo. We totally enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property.
We enjoyed our stay at this home, during our Girls Get-Away Trip! The home was beautifully decorated. It was clean, and was also equipped with all of the day-to-day kitchen, bath, and laundry items. The jacuzzi was a great extra perk to the house.
We stayed with a few friends and the house was perfectly set up for 3 couples. I wish we’d had more time to enjoy the back yard! The house was easy to get to and centrally located to downtown.
House is set up perfectly. Nice beds. Wonderful hot tub. Location is close to downtown. We had a great time. Owner communicated quickly and checked to make sure we had everything. Highly recommend.
