We stayed here as part of our search for where to buy a home in Austin. We really love the area and this is one of our top contenders! It's a residential area but close to downtown, so the houses are older but this one has been redone beautifully. I love that you see everyone taking walks in the morning and evening! We hoped on the light rail to grab dinner next to the convention center. Super easy and tons of fun! The house itself is gorgeous. The owners were finishing up some landscaping work when we arrived (beautiful plants by the way!) and they shared with us the very interesting history about the house. To make a long story short, it's a 80 year old home they saved from demolition and renovated from top to bottom. It looks like a brand new home, but there are little touches here and there that show the original charm that you just don't see in houses these days.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.

I normally stay in a hotel when I'm in town on business. This trip I had a business partner traveling with me. Instead of renting 2 rooms, we decided to try a house. This was easily the most comfortable accomodations I've had in a long time. This is something we will do again. You have a fantasitc home.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Excellent location for us because of proximity to our family. Very cute house set back on owner's property. Everything you need is there - well thought out. Great to have washer/dryer, back porch and outside sitting area, bedroom ceiling fans, even magazines and movies to watch. If you are looking for a quiet neighborhood rental, you can't go wrong with this one but you will need a car to get around.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: I'm so happy you enjoyed our home! We always try to have everything in the home that you might need during your stay, so I'm happy you found everything you wanted.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: I've been a licensed Realtor in Austin, TX for 11 years, and I own several of my own rental properties. When I'm on vacation I love staying in vacation rentals and bed & breakfasts, and enjoy operating my own vacation rentals (see vrbo # 367003 also!)
Why the Owner Chose Crestview:
Developers were getting ready to tear down this home, but I just couldn't see it go! We moved it to its new home (yes, we moved the entire house!), and then renovated it into this gorgeous vacation rental.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
A 1930s home updated to 2012 amenities!
