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

The house is open which allowed for a nice place for a bridal shower. Only mini complaint is knowing the wifi password upon arrival. Otherwise great communication with owner and nice property.

We had a great time! The hot tub came in handy late night after 5 games of softball. Plenty of room for 7 adults and all our softball equipment. We cooked several meals in the spacious kitchen. Will try to stay here anytime I'm in Austin. Thanks so much for making it clean inviting!!

The house was attractive, comfortable, clean, & quiet. We really enjoyed the hot tub! The owner was very helpful regarding a few questions. The neighborhood the home is in isn’t great, but we felt safe (& it was quiet.). It’s about a 15 min drive to downtown, so you’ll need a car or to Uber everywhere.

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.

Very clean comfortable house and outdoor spaces. All tastefully decorated. The beds were very comfortable and everything we needed was readily available. The hot tub was a special bonus. We were four adults ranging from 60 to 80 years old. Joshua was a great communicator and very pleasant to work with.

The stay here was awesome! Even though I messed up our reservation, the host Joshua, was very gracious! This is THE cleanest property we have stayed at and has the most accurate of photo representations of any property we have had the pleasure of staying in. The bed was super comfortable, the appointments, spot on! We will be back to this property again, if the host will have us. Ha!
My apologies, again, Joshua, and thank you for being so kind!

Loved the house. Everything clean and easily accessible. Close to downtown everything within 5-20 min Lyft ride The only inconvenience was the neighbors stayed up with loud music until well after 2am on the weekend.

5 of us girls spent the weekend in Austin for a friends 40th birthday and the house was great for what we needed. Very spacious and clean! We all kept talking about how comfortable the beds were and there were plenty of blankets/pillows. Kitchen has everything you need plus plenty of towels for showers or hot tub. We enjoyed the hot tub, very cute backyard space. Thank you Joshua we had a great time!

I stayed for a competition out in Taylor but wanted to be close to the city so family would have more options. The kitchen was so spacious, I loved coming home to a home cooked meal after a long day and then the hot tub was clutch! Would definitely stay again. Oh, and the beds were SUPER comfy which is always a bonus and I’m always nervous about it.
10.0 / 10.0
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!

The property was extremely clean, comfortable, and close to downtown Austin. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to navigate. Any time I had a question the host responded very quickly
I’m definitely going to miss my home away from home

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.
10.0 / 10.0
The property is in a perfect location, almost every where we went in Austin it was a 15min drive or less. The property is on the outside of a neighborhood and has neighbors all around it, but still feels very private. From the kitchen to the living spaces to the bedrooms we never felt we didn't have what we needed to enjoy a long stay away from home. In some cases the host went above what we anticipated, providing a large range of teas we could brew, spices we could cook with, cocktail recipes and the tools we needed to make them. Host was very responsive and when we felt the hot tub needed to be cleaned after frequent use during our long trip the host was there within a couple hours and cleaned it. He communicated through the VRBO app to let us know when he would arrive and when he was done and serviced the hot tub without interrupting our stay or our privacy.
The only thing I did not like and this is a small critique. I would have liked if the living room windows facing the road had some kind of privacy blinds or curtains so when you sit in there at night cars driving by or people walking by could not see us lounging on the couch watching tv. The windows had curtains but they were the thin white curtains you can see through. That is really my only criticism. Not every place is going to be completely perfect for every individual but this host came really close, so much so that's all I could come up with to criticize.

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.

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.
5.0 / 10.0
We did not end up staying in the house. The neighborhood looked a little sketchy and when we found the house, the front of the house looked a little run down. We did not go in the house, so I cannot comment on the inside of the house or the back yard. We just did not feel safe there, so we decided to make the drive back home

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.
