Excellent location
The location was excellent and the primary reason we decided to stay here. Aside from rush hour, you could get to many Austin locations in around 10 minutes. The house was very nice overall, but we had some minor issues with cleanliness of the coffee maker, dishes, silverware, etc that we've not had at lower cost VRBO's. Interface with the management company was a bit clunky as I had to call to get the access code after check in and prove that VRBO had already charged me for a pet fee. Quickly resolved, but stay on top of the details of your confirmation if you reserve through VRBO.

The backyard was our favorite place to be. It was so peaceful. Loved the property.
Everything was great. The kitchen had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the backyard and fire pit. The owners had lots of chairs and it was such a serene retreat. We had coffee by the fire pit in the mornings, and drinks in the evening. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great location but could use some TLC
We stayed a week at this home and the location couldn’t have been more perfect to get around Austin. We are local to the area and needed a place to stay and get around easily. Overall the home is great. We stay in a lot of vacation rentals and own/manage two of our own. Cleanliness, organization and communication are the most important things to me as a host and as a a guest. The home was surface clean but needs a deep cleaning and a refresh (dusty old drapes and throw pillows and dust under the beds). It took four days to get a hold of the manager (we needed to try to extend our stay). There are at least 6 cameras (3 in the front and 3 in the back) one of which can definitely see in the kitchen. I’m sure it’s just for security but it really felt very invasive and excessive and I’m sure could be accomplished with less (especially in the back where you’d like to relax). Also a very nice lady came by (unannounced) one morning around 8am to water the plants. Overall it had the potential to be a great rental but the management needs to address these things….had I been able to reach them easily I would have let them know.

Great House & Locatiom
Our family enjoyed the home. The location is excellent and the backyard is wonderful. We will definitely book again in the near future. Only small issue is the washer was covered in mold and had a terrible odor. We did not use is as it did not look sanitary at all. I did let the owner know and received a prompt response that it would be addressed.
