Wonderful Stay!!

3 Generations of our family stayed over Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend (all adults). The location was great! I was not familiar with Austin and was so glad to find everything we needed so close! We enjoyed the pool on that HOT weekend and all the amenities offered in the house were outstanding. We appreciated the small details like plenty of towels and even bug spray for those evenings out on the back patio. The neighborhood was quiet and very friendly (dog walkers always greeted us with a friendly welcome). We had a great time and HIGHLY recommend! We very much enjoyed out stay!

Nice stay

Overall we had a great stay and the house worked out very well for us. The only issue we had was related to the garbage disposal usage and the sink not draining. We were not told that we shouldn't put food in the disposal and the sink then backed up and there was a block in the drain. We did lose our deposit as a result which was frustrating as the picture that was sent looked to be more due to long term blockage versus anything recent. The hosts were great to work with otherwise and the set up and location was great!

South Austin Beauty

What a beautiful home and tranquil backyard. Just what we needed for a long weekend. Loved watching the birds while having coffee in the morning and floating in the shaded pool in the afternoons. Very comfortable and well thought out simple pleasures. Thank you so much for a lovely time to Carla and Albert. 😀

Great ACL getaway!

My husband and another couple stayed here for ACL. It is a great house. Love the kitchen, it has all up to date appliances. Nice layout and very modern. Everything you need for entertaining, cooking and such was there for our convenience. We had a great stay. Pool was nice but a couple of draw backs. The pool is under huge Oak Trees that were dropping acorns (alot of acorns) which hurts when you step on and they filled the bottom of pool, but the owners were so responsive that they had someone come and clean the pool for our picky selves. The dropping of acorns is seasonal so other dates should be fine. The pool is also dated in look but its incredibly relaxing. The location of the house is good, short drive to many of Austin attractions, eateries, and grocery stores. We took Lyft as it was easier and had no problems with them finding house. Quiet neighborhood which is really nice after a noisy festival. This is the owner's personal house which was a first for me, so there wasn't alot of storage or closets for personal belongings. But the place was unbelievable clean and so nice,I really couldn't believe it was someone's home. Its very impressive. Thanks for the stay.

Why they chose this property

Great location, spacious and open floor plan with three comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. The backyard is fabulous with beautiful live oak trees and a relaxing pool for cooling off in the Texas heat. Bus is only two blocks away, ride-sharing and taxi's easily accessible, and some of Austin's hottest spots within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

Minutes from downtown, Zilker Park, Green Belt, tons of bars, restaurants, taco trucks and coffee shops - or if you'd rather relax and grill out in the large backyard with swimming pool, this is the spot to soak in all of Austin! Ample kitchen that's great for cooking too.
