AUSTIN BOUND!

The house was accommodating for our family as it had two master bedrooms which worked well, however one of the king mattress's desperately needs to be replaced! :( It was so broken down that the sides were splayed, and I felt like I had to crawl out of a hole just to get out of it. We very much enjoyed the screened patio as it gave us extra room for meals at the dining table. The location was nice and convenient and we enjoyed walks around the neighborhood.

Convenient location

Clean convenient location quiet neighborhood. We traveled north of Austin to Krause springs one day and south to San Marcos river the next day. Perfect location to travel the area. Nice home to cook relax and visit with friends. Thank you.

The Ocean Blue visit in Austin

The place was at a great location for wanting to see a concert downtown. Easy check in but never got an email until the day before. I had to call and ask for the address and check in process. They sent me an email right away after I called. When we got there notice no rugs in the bathroom or anywhere actually. Which I understand hard to keep clean when renting. With that said, definitely should have at least one in the bathroom so people don’t slip and fall getting out of the shower. We used towels to put on the floor so we wouldn’t slip and fall. Not one closet had a rod to hang clothes on. The kitchen had the very bare minimum supplies. Not even a cookie sheet pan. We used foil to reheat some food in the oven. They supplied the cheapest TP possible and bare minimum hand towels and wash clothes. Had to do a load of laundry because of this. Thankfully the place was very clean.

Could use improvement

Older home, location was great but overall not a fan and it felt bare minimum. Toiletries were a nice touch and you can tell there's been remodeling. Kitchen and bathrooms were nice, but if expecting to prepare a meal, not enough to do it. Might as well order in. It's managed by a property company that oversees other properties in other states. Keep your expectations low. Worked for crashing after a long day of work. Pros: - Great location. 8 min drive Downtown Austin and 5 min drive to South Congress - AC/Heat worked Great - Laundry - Pricing - If you can get property manager to directly text you, that helped the experience in the home Cons: - Not responsive via app, must call (which wrong number with an extra digit available and had to sleuth for actual number. Hopefully they updated) - No clear check-in or check-out details were sent (wrong code to get in, told me to look for lockbox, couldn't find and then found later behind the house) - Yard was unkept not like in photos. - The toilet roll broke the first time I used, the plastic off the lock (from the inside) fell off. - No closet space to hang - Random trash in front yard, unclear where they came from - Pretty sure my bed was broken, but it was comfortable! If you're just crashing and want AC/Heat, electric, TV and running water, this works. Just don't expect too much.

Great Spot in Austin

Property is close to all the good bars and restaurants. House is well maintained, with excellent amenities (Fiber internet, air conditioning, TVs in multiple rooms.) and the sun room was an excellent place to hang out with the friends. Great experience overall.

Would be perfect with more amenities

Comfortably slept 6 people, was in a good location and private. Was a bit annoying that, for the money, there were little to no amenities provided. There was no coffee, toiletries for bathing, the toilet seat was disconnected, and the trash can was stuffed full of the previous renter's trash. Communication was very impersonal and automated as well. This was my first Vrbo experience and im a bit mixed on it.
