The house was perfectly spacious and everyone was amazed at the finishes and layout. I appreciated that they had organic and earth friendly products in the house and that basic necessities in the house were left for us to use so we didn't have a big waste of condiments and things of that nature. We slept 10 comfortably, and 2.5 baths was perfect for our group. I would absolutely stay here again. You can't beat the location, right off Mopac, easy access to the lakes and to downtown.Recommended for: Girls getaway

We had a great stay at the house. 9 of us stayed at the there. Everyone was very impressed with the property. The backyard and indoor spaces are fantastic and well kept. Proximity to activities in Austin is excellent. And the house was stocked with plates, cups, pots, pans, soaps, extra towels and some spices. Beds and furniture were very comfortable.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

We (family of 5) used to live in Austin and we returned during the kid's April vacation week. This house, location and owners are awesome and made it so easy to instantly slip right in to the comforts and pleasures of being in Austin. Yeah, warning, we are biased and love Austin!!! The house is very comfortable. We loved the open plan of the first floor. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed. The second floor bedrooms were terrific for us. Beds made sleeping easy -- we have the same beds and mattresses. Closet space and bathrooms were very good. Cozy towels!! And it was terrific to have the washer and dryer on the second floor!! The backyard is relaxing with a hammock, cool table for outdoor dining (and there is a grill). The front yard -- with a privacy wall -- is also very relaxing. My wife enjoyed having her morning coffee or an end of the day glass of wine there. The location is terrific and the neighborhood is residential and quiet. The house is close to downtown, UT, South Congress, Zilker, Pease and other parks, Barton Springs, Town Lake, great shops, restaurants (our faves include Ranch 616, P.Terry's, Tacodeli, Julio's, ZTejas, Vespaio, Enoteca among others), Central Market, etc. And there is easy access to suburbia if you want to head that way. Caswell public tennis is very close and has a great drop-in tennis workout during the week -- all good, but ask for Mike :-) Cycling is terrific as well. I raced in Austin and there is great cycling for all levels. Lots of great shops and rides nearby -- many leaving from various shops on either Saturday or Sunday mornings. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Plenty of space for us, great house, great location, great owners, great stuff nearby. We're glad we found this rental.Did you find this review helpful?

My girlfriends and I stayed here in April of 2010 for a business school reunion and it was SUCH an incredible weekend. Kiki couldn't be more accommodating and the house is exactly as it is described above. There were 11 of us and we had plenty of room. The decor is modern and gorgeous and I really loved the warm, inviting "feel" of the home. It is a wonderful place to spend a weekend grilling, playing board games, cards, dancing and simply spending time with friends and family. The house is centrally located, so it is just a quick cab ride from downtown. It is also near a Central Market, so grocery shopping is easy as well as access to several trails for hiking, running and biking nearby. My friends and I would recommend staying at this house to anyone. It is fantastic. Thanks so much to Kiki for being such a good hostess!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed at this house during SXSW and it was such a wonderful experience. The house itself is SO beautiful, I think all of our mouths dropped when we drove up to the driveway. The photos are great, but it's even better in real life! Amazingly furnished, great art, well stocked with clean kitchenware, towels... The owners are fantastic, everything from booking, payment went so smoothly. Kiki was so accommodating and every email was promptly and thoroughly replied to when I had any questions. Also we needed to have items delivered to the house and she graciously accepted them for us before we arrived and made sure they were in the house. Also the next tenants found my iPod touch that happened to have fallen between the couches and Kiki made sure to send it to me right away. So sweet!!! I can keep gushing about this place and I've already decided I'm taking a non-work vacation in Austin to stay here with my friends!!! HIGHLY recommended. If you are looking for a place to rent in Austin, stay here and you will have the best experience.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

What a WONDERFUL house! My family and I stayed here for Easter weekend and it was perfect. The house is very spacious and beautiful. We loved the outdoor areas which had a hammock, large yard and so many places to sit out and enjoy a meal. We hosted 30 people for Easter Sunday dinner and the kitchen was so well equipped we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back! Thank you Kiki for everything.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our party of four had a wonderful weekend stay. Nestled among arts and crafts style homes in one of Austin's older neighborhoods, you'll feel like you live in Austin when you stay here. This house is conveniently located near downtown, a number of excellent neighborhood restaurants (Kerbey Lane is a favorite!) and the great Central Market grocery store on Lamar. We hope to stay here on our next trip to Austin. I highly recommend!Recommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway.

Our family LOVED, LOVED, LOVED staying at this beautiful house. There is so much space and light...it feels like home. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for helping us to feel incredibly comfortable on our vacation! Our two year old daughter's favorite part of the whole trip was playing with the toys and train set! My favorite parts were the modern decor, the organic & earth-friendly products provided for guests, and the huge bathtub in the master bedroom. We had an amazing time and would definitely return to this gorgeous home. :)Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This contemporary house was immaculate. There were plenty of towels, plates, cups, etc. & even some local coffee in the kitchen! A quiet neighborhood with plenty of street parking. There was even a large driveway for our RV. The bus stop was half a block away and a short 20 minute ride downtown. I would definitely recommend this house!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

Everything about this property was perfect in every way. Great location for access to Zilker Park, Downtown and all that central Austin has to offer. The house is like a home with every amenity provided by Kiki to make the stay just like a B&B experience. The location is very private within a great neighborhood for walking or kicking back in the yard. There is no question that we will return every time we visit Austin. Thanks Kiki & Larry.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We loved this place! Quiet but central, great neighborhood, close to everything we wanted in Austin. The week of Christmas 2007 was truly fabulous for our entire extended family, and having this place made all the difference. Thanks, Kiki!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We stayed for 5 nights in this wonderful 3-bedroom home. So close to downtown and readily accesible to Loop 1. Thank-you so much for sharing your home; we really appreciated the freshly ground coffee & cream along with the spring water you left for us. If we can get away to Austin again we definitely will be calling on you. Thanks Again!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Thank you Kiki for sharing your home with us. It truly exceeded our expectations. The house is very spacious and beats staying in a hotel room. You really thought of everything! Toys for the kids to play with and the gate to block off the staircase made our stay very relaxing. The hammock in the backyard was icing on the cake. We will definitely be returning. Thanks again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay for the 2007 ACL concert - a short bike ride to Zilker Park (no cars and bus lines to deal with!) and the downtown area. The house was very clean, fully equipped, modern, and beautifully decorated throughout. Kiki & Richard were very helpful and made us feel welcomed (goodies left in the kitchen were very much appreciated!). THANK YOU!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

While getting our daughter settled in at St. Edward's University this past weekend we had a most enjoyable stay in this centrally located, spacious, clean and soothing home. The modern furniture, clean lines and wooden floors provided a very tranquil retreat for a few days. The large bottle of spring water, quality coffee and organic half & half were also very nice and much appreciated touches! We like your style Kiki and will be back!Did you find this review helpful?
