A great place to escape to from the cold winter. Sitting by the pool on a warm spring day was just what we needed. The house was very clean and Justin is great at communicating. Very close to great walking paths, and the cute downtown square with some great restaurants. Thanks for a great week!

Pretty rough around the edges in-person. Lock on sliding door did not work correctly. Adjacent neighboring homes are not renovated. 4 cockroaches found during stay. Part of a broken glass found at bottom of pool. The queen and both full beds sank in the middle. Very uncomfortable. Also Justin accused us of smoking in property at checkout. Be advised, Justin does not have a customer first customer service style. Luckily our trip carried on wonderfully in spite of the accommodations.

The house was wonderful for us. We wished the pool would have been clean so we could have enjoyed it It was on of the reason we booked the house for the kids to have something to do with down time before the wedding. Other than that the house and everything thing else was clean. We would book again if we are ever back that way.

The house is even better than the description. The inside is decorated nicely. It was very clean, and had everything we needed. The pool is fantastic. Perfect for a girls trip. The cornhole and connect four was great. It is in a quiet neighborhood. Its very close to downtown - 3 to 5 min drive to the square. We will definitely book again.

Everything about our stay was amazing. The hosts were great and had clear communication, the pool was beautiful, the inside of the house was beautiful. Everything was super clean. This has been my favorite short term rental so far. The only thing I wish the house had was exhaust fans in bathroom for when showering because it steams up pretty bad and some more frying pans preferably bigger ones but that’s just me being nit picky. Absolutely great place and would stay here over and over again.

Spring Vacation

Great property. Nice and quiet neighborhood. House was in great shape, with it pretty much furnished from Ikea. Back yard was spacious, and it was nice having the pool. Justin always reached out to let us know if the pool was to be clean or the yardwork was going to be done. Would highly recommend if you are looking for something close enough to Austin, but far enough away from the chaos of the city.
