This house is an absolute gem. The house is in a perfect location and the hosts were so welcoming. Can’t recommend enough and next time we’re in Austin this will be our first choice.

The place was perfect for our trip to Austin with our 9 month old son. Our hosts provided excellent recommendations, and so much was within walking distance. The house is was the perfect set up for a small family, and they even provided a crib and high chair for us. We’re already trying to figure out when we can come back!!

Great location

Everything about the house was comfortable including the bed! We had everything we needed and the backyard was well appointed (lounge chairs, table, grill) and perfect for our senior dog. Cute and quiet neighborhood. Carole was a super host and checked in several times to make sure everything was OK. We would stay here again.

We shortened our stay because of the world! We are healthy but felt the need to go home. Carole was so great! The house is just as described! Plenty of street parking, great walking to everything. We'll be back to continue our discovery of Austin.

We loved this property. Everything was so clean and well organized. My husband and I were here with our daughter, her husband and 3 month old baby for a wedding. The house had everything we needed. They even supplied the pack and play! Cute little areas to relax outside from a side porch to back yard seating. Owners were very helpful and easy to reach.

This two bedroom bungalow is perfect in every way. Situated in a lovely, quiet and tree-lined neighborhood, yet just a few blocks from great restaurants and shops. The house was spotless, and has everything you need The backyard is great with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. The hosts were very responsive and thoughtful. We will stay here again!

Beautiful 2 bedroom home just a few blocks from fun shops and restaurants in SoHo/Austin as well as the famous Lady Bird Trail, which we took advantage of as much as possible. Although close to everything, it is located in an exceptionally quiet, tree lined neighborhood. The home has everything you need; size size kitchen with gas range, washer and dryer, comfortable living room with large TV, bed linens were cozy and fresh and everything was spotless when we arrived. The back yard has lots of room for your dog to run and play. We've stayed in many VRBO homes, and these hosts were the most responsive and thoughtful of all the hosts we've had. The next time we're in Austin, we will stay here again!

Nice quiet neighborhood. 25 minute walk to Zilker Park. Close to South Congress. Well stocked kitchen. Would stay here again.

We stayed a month here, and it was like a home away from home! The house is very well equipped with lots of lovely touches. The kitchen is a great size and has every possible utensil and gadget you need! The lounge has a lovely big sofa and Netflix! Plus some great board games! The beds are comfy and the bedrooms are a good size. The garden area and bbq deck is great for outdoor meals. We also loved being so close to SoCo, the river and Zilker Park/Barton Springs. El Mercado, just around the corner, is a great spot for dinner (and has a play area out the back for kids!). Carole and Kerry obviously care a great deal about their guests' experience - both in the home and around Austin in general. They were on hand at all times and responded quickly to any questions we had. There is plethora of information booklets and leaflets on the area so you can make the most of your stay. We would definitely stay here again when we are in Austin. Recommend!

We recently stayed in Austin and rented this home for 2 couples. It's in such a convenient location and in a beautiful neighborhood! We were maybe a block from food trucks and within 5 minutes of all the locations we wanted to check out. We used Uber and it was around $5 everywhere we wanted to go. Easily walkable if you have comfortable shoes. Home was stocked with plenty of dishes and silverware, hair dryer, shampoo, coffee, toilet paper... all the little things that make renting a vrbo home easy. Owner was very prompt and getting in and out was a breeze. Our only downfall was the size of the beds. Not great for four adults, but we made it work! There's also no fan in the bathroom, so love the ones you are with!

The house was just perfect for our stay in Austin and in a great location! The kitchen was very well equipped and the house was immaculate. The backyard was a great space for us to hang out at night with the dog after a busy day in the city.

You really cannot get a better location in Austin! We had a blast, the hosts were great and easy to get a hold of and we really enjoyed the house!

Kate and I have been taking long stays in Austin in February for several years now. We usually stay in the South Congress area (Bouldin or Travis Heights). The "Hill House" is by far the best place we've ever found and we look forward to visiting again next year. This two bedroom/one bath cottage has enough space for us and room for guests to visit during our stay. It's well appointed with all the conveniences one might ever want. The back yard is great for our pet cat to explore and the large vacant lot behind the house (which belongs to Carol and Kerry) provides even more space for her to explore. The steep driveway is an adventure too, but difficult to walk. Carol and Kerry are kind and attentive land lords who were there to help/cat sit when we were called away for a family emergency. And the location -- all of Bouldin is great (a mix of worker cottages like this house and California modernism in-fill) but here you're just a short walk to the El Mercado (yes we did see Bill Kirchen at Mystery Mondays), food trucks and fine dining (e.g. Sway) on S 1st, a short bike ride to Guero's and the Continental Club on South Congress, or to ABGB on Oltorf for some Sunday afternoon dancing, or to the Saxon Pub on South Lamar, or to Lady Bird Lake where you can explore the trails (find the "Beltway" and learn about Texas music) and seek out the "Sacred Waters of Barton Springs" in Zilker Park. We would not hesitate to recommend Carol & Kerry, this property or others they offer "Under the Texan Sun" to those looking for an Austin adventure. Ps. we like to visit in the weeks before SXSW. The city and the rents go crazy during the festival. Austin can be cool in February, but there's no snow to shovel!

Walkable & friendly neighborhood with the best hosts. The house is well appointed with plenty of seating on the cozy couch and outdoor areas. We had two adults, a one-year old and our little terrier in the Hill House and felt it was a perfect little getaway for our family. There was a cold snap during our stay - Carole and Kerry were always quick to message with updates on the weather. The house is nicely outfitted for kiddos with a few toys and the cold nights turned into family Yahtzee as board games and video entertainment are quickly accessible if you're not up for walking to the many eateries surrounding the area. If you don't book the Hill House, that will just leave more nights for us to stay there :).

My family is not from the area and they all raved about this sweet little house! We used it for 2 nights and it also served as our meeting point since it was so close to our wedding venue. It had ever amenity we could need. Carole was fantastic and so responsive and helpful. It was just so nice to work with her. -Check in and check out was a breeze. We also got some flexibility because of our situation and it was so nice to have. -There was plenty of street parking since the driveway was only meant for a single car. -Clear and easy directions to follow when checking out

Great house in a great location for Austin! The house had everything we needed.

We visited this house the week after Hurricane Harvey hit our hometown. Our hosts asked after our safety and offered to make special provisions for us. This was just one example of the professionalism and care with which they treated us. As for the property, it is a well-stocked house on a quiet street in a great part of the city. I would certainly stay here again!

Neat house in the perfect South Austin neighbourhood.Great backyard. All the interior with a lot of attention to detail. All appliances in great shape. Caring owners , more than willing to share their knowledge about the great places especially in South Austin. I will be back.

We (family of 5) stayed in this delightful house in a quiet street close to SoCo and Barton Springs. Carole stocks a good kitchen and made plenty of suggestions for fun activities, and tasty restaurants. Highly recommended. Michael, Melbourne, Australia.

The owner thought of everything you might need on your trip. If you want to cook, the kitchen is nicely equipped with spices & liquids you would need. It was conveniently located to 1st avenue eateries & congress st. It's a kovrly neighborhood to walk in as well. My husband & I have been visiting Austin every summer for years & this house was a stand out. We would rent on of this owners properties again. It was a soulful rental.

Perfect location and super comfortable! My daughter loved walking across the street to the park and walking the trail.

Loved the property! Had a great stay! Will be back in the future.
