Nice home
Overall a nice stay, clean, well kept and a lot to do. Pool, ping pong, great ac, and up kept. However we were let down on the room situation with the added beds as the post mentioned it could sleep up to 14. This meant added beds in a office with a desk and furniture so it wasn’t actually suited as a sleeping space. There was also pictures of the families and there clothes in drawers and closets. I wish this was communicated better

Disappointing in most regards
Overall, I was very disappointed in this rental for the price charged. This was priced at a premium and the experience was well short of a premium one.
The owner left their personal items in bedrooms and the kitchen. There was no closet space to hang items. We were there for a week and lived out of our suite cases. All drawers in the bedrooms were full with homeowner items. The bathroom drawers were full too - home owner toiletries, hair brushes, etc. The upstairs bedrooms had a substantial amount of childhood photos, trophies, pictures from childhood - so many my daughters felt uncomfortable sleeping in those bedrooms. The kitchen intermingled drawers for renter use with drawers with personal effects. The kitchen pantry again mixed home owner items with the trash bins they ask you to use. There was no place but the kitchen counters to store non-perishable groceries for the week. There are a lot of family pictures in most room - dining room (2 of 3 walls), living room, both upstairs bedrooms, master bedroom, in the coach house. For a rental property the owner should make the decor much more neutral than presented.
Second, the rules for the hot tub and pool could have been better disclosed. The owner requires the property manager to come on and off the property each time the hot tub is turned on and off! This was unsettling at best and negatively impacted our ability to settle in and enjoy. The hot tub has to go off at 10:00 pm even on weekends even if there is no noise from the guests. The pool lights did not turn on.
The property management company was pleasant and had consistently good communication. They admitted to a ball being dropped along the way and it should have been communicated to us prior to check in the home was homeowner occupied. I'm an experienced renter and have not seen a home presented this way before. They attempted to move us to another home but there was no availability.

So glad we booked this place! The house is awesome - it’s designed for both relaxation and fun in a beautiful neighborhood. Our house manager, Alexandrea, was incredible and made our stay extra special and comfortable. Everything was set up beautifully upon our arrival. The house comfortably slept our group of 15.

Lovely Property for Family Gathering
The property was very clean, and the main living area was spacious. The pool and yard were lovely, and we enjoyed watching the deer in the back of the property. It was challenging for our party of 9 adults and a baby that one of the showers was broken, and I was notified only two days before arrival. Nevertheless, this was a nice location for our family gathering, and we really enjoyed our stay.
It was a pleasure working with the Above Realty Group. Conor in Guest Services was so helpful before arrival. The House Manager, Alexandrea, was wonderful! There were several maintenance issues involving power to plugs, fans, outside lights, dishwasher, and internet service. She was very prompt in addressing these issues and any other request we had. She even surprised us with pastries one morning. The Above team is excellent!

Great place
12 of us—all professionals in our early/mid 30’s—stayed here for a bachelor party weekend. The layout of the place is great and pictures don’t do it justice. The Ty and Sherie from Arrive were great and very accommodating. The space was fine for 12 people, but would be more comfortable for 8 or fewer. But I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Property and Very Nice House
Very nice property and we had a great time. There are a few items to be aware of.
1. The pool is not as big as it looks in the picture.
2. The management company comes in with a sheet full of rules and fines attached when you arrive and ask you to sign it. I reluctantly did but marked out the $1,000 fine if a neighbor calls and says we were too loud. Really?!? There is no smoking outside, another big fine for that etc. etc. etc. Also the managers drop by everyday to check up on the house. Overall everything went smoothly and I got the deposit back. Just made me feel a little like being in a college dormitory instead of a luxury home.
On the plus side the managers were available and ready to do anything for us. The hot tub heater wasn’t working (which was additional to have turned on) so the my got someone out very quickly and didn’t waived that fee. The also setup additional beds for our big group for a fee but it was a big help.

Perfection in Austin
Ideally situated home on the edge of Downtown Austin - just a short Uber ride away from key attractions like Rainey and 6th Street. Would highly recommend for groups looking to be together versus split up in a hotel. Pride of ownership shows throughout - a comfortable and welcoming retreat.

great house for group weekend
We rented the house with 13 guests and the space was perfect to comfortably sleep everyone (extra cots were brought in). The common patio/pool area between the houses, teh game room, and the big house living room were great social spaces.
It's a quick drive to downtown Austin and convenient to grab ubers.
The hosting company was very attentive offering services throughout the stay, meeting us at the house and including a welcome basket for our group.
Great house for a group run by a great hosting company
