The property was exactly as described and matched the photos perfectly with no surprises, which was a huge plus! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cozy living room, and a well-stocked kitchen that had everything we needed.Our favorite part was definitely the outdoor spaces. We loved relaxing together on the deck, spending time under the large oak tree, and soaking up a little sunshine. The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful whenever we had questions.The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We did drive to downtown Austin and other spots since it was a bit too hot for walking. Overall, we highly recommend this home for anyone visiting Austin!

This house was a perfect oasis for our very fun girl's trip to Austin in late June. After site-seeing all day, we thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail pool and the cozy deck as welcome places to relax. The kitchen and bathrooms are gorgeous and the beds were wonderful. The house is an easy, short car ride from everything fun. Thanks so much for a great place to stay.

It was great to be within a few minutes of all the downtown austin hot spots.

We stayed here for our family holiday weekend, the despite the rain, the house was a great spot for me and my family! The kitchen was our favorite, a great gathering spot, and though we couldn’t use the outdoor area very much it was great to have. The pull out sofa was a little uncomfy, but still got the job done.

This property was even better than the pictures! So much space for all of our group to sleep comfortably and to hang out on our one night in. It’s super close to downtown, so catching Ubers to anywhere we needed to be was easy and quick. The hosts were super communicative and helpful throughout the entire stay and even after as we are trying to retrieve a lost item. They was also super helpful with recommendations before our stay as well. Would definitely recommend and stay here again and again for any trips to Austin!
