This home was so lovely to stay in, felt like we were staying in an old home that has been renovated so nicely. The kitchen was beautiful as well as the pool, wish we didn't have to have only the 5 strict hours access to the pool. That was a big bummer...
Also, when we were checking in the heat was on and it was 98f in the house and that was not refreshing at all. It took the whole evening and night to finally cool the place down. Not fun after coming in from a hot day in the Texas July heat. Just make sure the air is on for the next guest you have coming in...
Also, the freezer was not keeping cold. Again when we checked in there was a chunk of ice in the ice cube tray. It was hot and we just wanted to cool down with something cold and refreshing to drink and there was no ice available.
We would love to come back as it was a great place over all - it was a great location to all downtown fun!
5.0 / 5.0
The house was a cool relief from the unseasonably warm May weather. We spent a lot of time cooling off in the pool and making friends with the sociable neighbors. All seemed friendly and willing to get to know their temporary neighbors. Location for fun nights out in downtown Austin is essential, cheap and readily available Ubers save a lot of time and money

House was spotless roomy comfortable and cozy. Hosts were delightful. Location is unbeatable.
4.0 / 5.0
The house was in a quiet location an easy cab ride from the city - also very walkable to plenty of places. There was no option for early check in or late checkout, even though they had no guests coming in the day we left. There are signs everywhere that you will get charged for any small things you do in the space, yet there are doors that don't fully shut and peeling surfaces in the bathroom. It was still clean, but I was on edge most of the time that I was going to get hit with fees for something.
3.0 / 5.0
Well, they have this nice pool picture, giving you the perception it is the pool for this house. The pool is in another yard. Also, you get the house on VRBO, and you have to make another agreement with the management company. This is so aggravating. I ALREADY BOOKED ON VRBO. The management company was awesome so that was a little saving grace.
The house was just okay; they advertised like it was some stellar house. Maybe my standards are different when they use the words they use marketing this house. Overall, it was average, and I would stay here with different expectations. It would have had four starts. I just don't like deceptive advertising.
Last very open house if you want privacy, like shutting drapes, etc. There are none to close. One TV in only the living room was frustrating for some of the guests I had staying with me, too. They would have liked a TV in their room.

Everything was as described. Everything worked fine. Great location and neighborhood. Art work not our taste. Lighting difficult to control. Couch very low. Beds very good.
3.0 / 5.0
House was overall in a great location (provided you had a car) to get around Austin. Picking up on what other reviews mentioned and were not addressed. The lighting was strange, the overhead lighting kept turning on and off and light switches did not match up. The kitchen was fairly well stocked, but we had impression not many people actually cooked meals there. Admittedly, we ate out mostly, but did try to prepare a brunch and had to be creative with kitchen items. Significantly, there was NO wine opener/corkscrew and hairdryer. When we contacted number provided by text to address a house issue, there was no answer EVER. We ended up purchasing both at a local Target but issue had been raised by prior renters so would have been nice to be addressed before we arrived. Bathroom doors offered little privacy as they were vented closet doors so that was also a little odd as well and took some getting used to. It was clean, however, there was also a large amount of black mold on the main bath fabric shower curtain that should have been noticed by cleaners and replaced. Overall home was good, but some TLC could be used to maintain the property.

Great property, perfect location, easily accommodated our group of 7 with the 4 bedrooms.
4.0 / 5.0
The location of this home is fabulous in terms of proximity to Austin life. As advertised, it sits right next to another occupied home, but the listing could be improved to more honestly represent the proximity of the owner’s residence. The sliding glass door kitchen are directly facing the 3 carport of the owner. The home was well stocked with towels and pantry staples, but the bath soap was filled with water in all 3 bathrooms, there were no hairdryers and no corkscrew for wine - it would really help to have these essentials in stock. There are very clear and strict instructions to guests on noise and gatherings, which we appreciate and respect, however we were disappointed that the same courtesy wasn’t extended to us as guests. Early Saturday morning landscapers pulled up into the drive, completely blocking the entrance and began loudly shoveling gravel. This continued for 2 hours despite reaching the local host to ask that this be stopped. Scheduling mix-ups occur, but once notified, and for the price of this home, would like to see a more timely response to cease this and free up our ability to access the property. Again, this property has great potential with a few modifications.
3.0 / 5.0
Property location was great, closely located near to downtown ATX. The property itself is dated & could use an update. The furniture showed a lot of use & the interior of the house smelled not the greatest. The layout of the home is 3 bedrooms & narrow hallways (old style 1960’s wooden home). The doors to the bathrooms were just vented closet doors which was a little odd. The interior lighting kept shorting out in different rooms which was a little annoying. The listing shows a pool but it’s actually shared by 3 properties & is not private & it’s located in the next door yard (just an FYI). If you’re looking for privacy this isn’t the property as most common area windows don’t have blinds & the driveway of the home is utilized by the neighbors (owners & other renters). The other thing that i found odd was the number of release forms, renter information requests they required, it was excessive. Anyways, I don’t want to belittle the property but I do want to give more information that might be helpful to others. If I had to visit ATX again I’d look for something newer & just rent a car if it’s further outside of the downtown.

The property was lovely and met our needs as a family who collectively cooked and played card/boardgames. The neighborhood was beautiful to walk in and close to downtown.

The property is great. We had a group of 4 adults in town for F1 and the layout was great.
Location is great for downtown as well as getting around Austin as you can easily get in and out of the street.
Communication with the owners/company was great. Check in was easy and even a few additional requests were met with ease. Totally professional and on top of it.
Thanks for a great trip.

Downtown Proper was perfect
We couldn’t have been happier with the property or our hosts who lived next door. The house was a great old house, that’s been updated but retained its character. We were welcome to use the pool, and yard next door on our hosts lot, but they didn’t interfere with our party unless we approached them. It was a perfect give & take. We’ll return the next time we’re in Austin.

Great Stay
My friends and I really enjoyed staying here! We were able to share the pool which was super helpful especially during those hot days. We had a few electrical issues on the first day but, the owners got an electrician to come out ASAP and was resolved. Would recommend staying here if you have a big group!

Amazing Location and Great for a Group of 7-8

Good location, plenty of parking, nice property and amenities. Need to focus on maintenance.
We had a family gathering and the property was centrally located and had easy access to numerous local places to eat and be entertained. The art collection and well curated decor set the property apart from others. We had a good stay and would return to stay again.
There are some areas where property maintenance could use some attention; however most concerns were addressed by the property managers as quickly as they were communicated.

Perfect location
We stayed here for the F1 weekend. The house was in a great location 10 mins into downtown and 30 mins away from the track and airport. The house was large enough to fit 10 ppl comfortably. The back yard was a great place to use to relax. The owners were so welcoming and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here! Thanks.

Great Place!
We stayed here this past weekend for my bachelorette party and it was the perfect house for us! There were 8 of us total and the house was a great size for us. We didn't use the backyard space a ton, but it was beautiful and the owners were so hospitable! This house is the perfect location too, we were able to check out Rainey & Sixth Street and also spent a day on Lake Travis which was only about 40 min away. Overall, great trip and great stay. Highly recommend!

House was in a good location, nice well kept neighborhood. 10 min drive to bars and restaurants. 20 mins from Austin Airport. Property was clean and had plenty of towels and clean dishes. Met the owner who couldn't have been more accommodating. I would stay in this house again.

Girls trip
First, Kevin the property manager bent over backwards for us and that was appreciated! The home is in a good neighborhood within walking distance to great restaurants and shops. The house itself is a little more used than photos show but it was clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The house worked perfectly for my group of 7 women.

We hosted a corporate event, including a private backyard dinner and everything was fabulous. I'm ready to book again for next year!

Beware of Hidden Rules + $250 Charge to Heat the Pool!
Overall, this property was absolutely wonderful in terms of space and amenities. The number of bedrooms and open living space was perfect for our party of 11. However, this property comes with a rule book full of "dont's" that the owners expect you to follow. Examples include asking you to use coasters at all times (but no coasters are provided). The property also lacked instructions on check out or where things were (patio cushions, additional toilet paper, etc). Lastly, the house sports a shared pool but requires a $250/day charge to heat the pool. The pool felt like an ice pond so we ended up not using it. The $250 charge was NOT explained to us upfront in the listing OR by the rental company; if we had been made aware of this, we would have sought another property as the pool was our #1 priority when booking our trip. I was disappointed by the lack of transparency and communication for standard request and the overwhelming number of intricate rules for things that really did not matter.
5.0 / 5.0
Absolutely fabulous!
This home was complete perfection for the "reunion" weekend of our seven college roommates. It was beautifully decorated and well appointed, with incredibly comfortable sleeping and living spaces. The pool was the tipping point in making this a weekend we will never forget. We had the opportunity to meet the homeowners who could not have been more gracious or accommodating. As first-time visitors to Austin, we loved all the area had to offer, but truth be told, it was a challenge to get us to leave this great home and explore. We highly recommend this property, and only wish we could call "dibs" on any weekend we'd like to book in the future.
