Awesome house perfect for getaway

We came here for a weekend away with a bunch of old friends. House was fantastic, clean and perfect for all of our needs and to top it all off in an awesome location. Loved hanging out and checking out the awesome views. Brendan was an amazing host and let us know of multiple things to do before we even got there. Would definitely recommended to anyone heading to Austin!

Nice stay

Really enjoyed our time in Austin. House is nicely laid out. Location is super convenient and our group really enjoyed the backyard area. Refrigerator in the kitchen wasn’t working so the host had a backup fridge in the dining room. Wish he would have told us that before we got there, as we had a private chef dinner at the house planned.

Fantastic Family Christmas

The house is perfect for a multi generation family gathering! Four generations celebrating Christmas for the first time together in one space. Brendan made sure every detail was taken care of. The house accommodated the 87 year span in our guest roster with ease. Memorable times laughing in the kitchen, fixing multi course meals, eating on the back deck, playing games. The young ones cried to have to leave the “big house” when our vacation came to a close. So many great memories. Super location!!

Cousin's Weekend

We have a large family and realize that we rarely see each other except to gather for the funerals of family members. We wanted to stay connected and chose to gather in Austin. The WOW factor of the property was amazing. There were plenty of bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, pots, pans, and utensils! The outside was comfortable and the younger members of the family enjoyed the putt-putt golf area and the adults enjoyed the hot tub. Lou, the property manager was just as amazing at the property itself. He was easy to contact and responded to any of our questions and the few needs that we had. On behalf of our family, a warm heartfelt thank you!

WOW!!! AWESOME, COMFORTABLE, AMAZING!

We have had really good experiences with VRBO partners since we began using it last year. Clean, versatile and comfortable is the norm we always find. Capitol Villa is playing in an entirely different league. First of all, Brendan is personable, involved and conscientious. He treats Capitol Villa like a 5-star property because it is and he brings a level of service that matches. Three of us were in Austin to facilitate corporate training and the price for Capitol Villa was a far better deal in price and quality than any hotel rooms. We had our students over for a bbq dinner and Capitol Villa again delivered in space, functionality and looks. We plan to be back again and again and again! Phenomenal experience!

Comfortable Convenience in Austin

If you have a larger group looking to stay in Austin, I couldn't recommend this house more! The location is exceptional between easy highway access, easy downtown travel and walkability. The house itself is kept ideally, and all rooms & common spaces were comfortable and well suited for our group of 13. Thank you to Brendan & Aurora for a great host for our celebration!

Wonderful location and fantastic house for large groups.

We had a fantastic stay for 13 adult males. The house was big, easily slept us comfortably, and the back yard provides tons of activities. The location is perfect for Austin as it’s only a mile from the nightlife. The host is extremely responsive and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and enjoy the house. The sound system was also a big hit. I would recommend this house to any large group.

Doesn’t get any better!

I stayed with a group of 12 friends for a football game at UT. Our accommodations could not have been more perfect. The house was beautiful and very spacious. The backyard was perfect for spending the evening outdoors and the brand new pool and spa was such a nice surprise. The kitchen was very well equipped for a large group. Brendan was very welcoming and responded to any questions we had within minutes. The location is perfect with food trucks just around the block and the walk to the UT stadium was a short 20 minute walk. I would recommend this house to anyone and would definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves back in Austin… GO DAWGS!!
