Very cool and comfy home - Austin vibe for sure.
THe property was perfect. The neighborhood, like most of Austin, is just weird, but I like it. the bedrooms, baths, furnishings, even the art was all in sync. Parking is a little strange, in that one must get out of their car and punch in a code for the gate - same to close it. Otherwise, super place. I’d stay here again if back in Austin.

Quiet, Convenient and Beautiful East ATX Property
My wife, our 4 year old daughter and I had a great trip to ATX while staying at this property. Super well kept and beautiful property that has everything you need for your trip. We loved the pool and convenient location that got us and our rental car to all the local playgrounds, restaurants and sights.

Great Vacation!
The house was exactly as described.
The house was clean, the AC worked great, and the pool was very clean as well!
One thing I didn’t notice anyone else really talk about in other reviews was the perfect location!
It is walking distance to Sour Duck Market (7 minute walk) and to Bird Bird Biscuit (22 minute walk).
It seemed like a 10-15 minute Uber/Lyft to just about anywhere you would want to go. 6th Street, UT, Whole Foods, and Rainey Street were all nice and easy rides.
The pool being in the front yard sounded like it was a different concept, but with the fences, it was great! Plenty of space to relax and enjoy inside or outside of the pool.
We would absolutely stay here again in the future.
Thank you for the great communication throughout our stay!

Close to UT campus
The house is very nice and solid. It was built well and not just thrown up in the renovation phase that is happening over in East Austin. There was no other construction in the area while we were there, so that was great. It was quiet. House was cleaned well. The picture you are looking at is the front of the house. The pool is in the front yard. There is a solid wood sliding gate and a walk through gate. So when you arrive, you can pull your car into the driveway off the street. This is very nice. Our only issues were with the management company itself. I specially asked for an extra flat sheet of any size to be left at the home. They promised this would occur and was not done. (I did not ask for it once I arrived cause it was not worth the hassle. We got in late.) Two- the management company gave us the wrong gate code to get into the property. Had we arrived very very late we would not have been able to get into the property at all. Cause their office closed at some point and it is not like a hotel where you can go down to the front desk with a problem. So we were lucky and caught them and were able to get the code after 15 minutes. So- yes I would stay here if I was you, but get there early enough so that you can make sure you make it through the gate. Or you can not get to the front door. And two- do not expect the management company to come through with your requests even though they say they will. Set your expectations. (No pool towels either. Two bath towels per bed).

Relaxation in Style
Our stay was absolutely amazing! The hosts made it easy and were so helpful. The pool is right outside and was a hit with the kids. The rooms and beds are welcoming and the beds comfy. The house’s decor was refreshing and the high ceilings made it feel spacious and fresh. The location is a quick drive to downtown and most places we wanted to see- with coffee shops within walking distance. It was a great respite from the summer heat and we will definitely stay there again!!

Perfect house for us while visiting family in Austin
This was a clean and beautiful house for us to stay in while in Austin visiting family. Located in an area with lots of places to eat, and easy access/travel to where our family is located. Big and well stocked kitchen. All the bedrooms have comfortable beds and plenty of bathroom/shower space too. We even enjoyed some pool time during our stay! We will definitely check availability the next time we are coming to Austin.
