Great property. Beautiful home, super clean and great communication with the host.The only issue I had was that I wanted the front driveway gate to close for extra protection. The driveway gate stays open.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful, clean home and our communication, and we appreciate your feedback about the driveway gate.
Everything at the house was exactly as advertise. Plenty of rooms for our family gathering. Just a few minor conveniences could be added such as adding blinds to Jack and Jill bathroom on the second floor for privacy while taking a shower, Extra trash bags, dishwasher pads Trash bag liners for the bathrooms. Overall, it was an excellent stay, and I would stay there again.

The house was great. Very spacious, clean, and had everything we needed during our stay. Also the location is perfect for walking to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc. on the east side. Neighborhood is quiet.

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the well-decorated home and the high-end amenities. The outdoor space is indeed perfect for relaxing and socializing with friends. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
A beautiful house, much prettier than the online photos. Great for our large family group. Perfect location. One thing that could be improved is that the king bed is ultra-soft - I wish it were firmer. Other than that, it was a perfect home.

Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the house and its convenient location near downtown Austin. We’d love to host you again in the future!
Very comfortable and quiet spot close to downtown. East Austin is an awesome place to walk into eateries and bars. Clean area, no trouble, safe. The gated house was super secure and safe. We absolutely loved the property. Definitely booking again.
Great house, pictures are accurate. Gaining entry was a little difficult. Never received access information and host was not answering messages thru the app. Had to call twice to speak with someone. First time was a recorded message stating they were busy with others. Then.they finally sent the access information. Agent said the gate would not close in the driveway and I would have liked to have had it closed because we had kids and could not be in the front and had to make sure they didn’t open the front door.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the home, and we apologize for the issues with check-in communication and the gate situation; we appreciate you sharing this so we can improve the experience for future guests.
This house was everything we wanted and more. We all couldn't stop saying how we didn't want to leave! Everyone had plenty of space and the kitchen was incredible. We played some of the games left in the game closet and hooked up a Nintendo switch in the living room and overall had an amazing weekend. The location is very close to so many great restaurants and activities.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that the house exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the space, kitchen, and game closet. It’s great that the location made it easy to explore nearby restaurants and activities. Hope to host you again soon!
We rented this property for a destination family gathering. Six adults shared the 5 bedrooms. The kitchen, dining area and living room easily accommodated us all. The property management was very responsive via text to any questions we had. The property was clean and nicely appointed. The beds appear to be memory foam mattress and pillows. I was a bit dubious as this is very different than what I was used to but found I slept just fine. The location worked well for our needs. It was a quiet mostly residential neighborhood . The weather was colder than we hoped so we didn't enjoy much of the outside area. Dishes, glasses and pantry items were plentiful for our needs. We definitely would choose this property again.
Our stay was great and the team was fairly attentive. The property was clean and a perfect fit for our group! Only issue was that we were having hot water issues and they tried to send someone to troubleshoot. However, when their solution did not work, we did not receive any other options to fix it. Also, with the electric door code deactivating at 10 am, be sure not to leave anything behind! We were unable to open the door minutes after we left to retrieve a forgotten item. Getting ahold of the company took almost an hour to figure out how to get back in. But they did send someone out to help and fixed our issues. Thanks team!

Here’s a warm and professional response to the review:
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re thrilled to hear that the property was clean and a great fit for your group! It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed your stay overall and found our team attentive.
We sincerely apologize for the challenges you faced with the hot water and the door code. We appreciate your patience as we worked to resolve these issues, and we regret that the initial solution for the hot water did not fully address the problem. We also understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with delays in regaining access to retrieve a forgotten item. Please know that your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we will review our processes to ensure quicker and more effective resolutions in the future.
Thank you again for your understanding, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!
The house was amazingly clean and located in a very cool neighborhood. There are a couple of items that are preventing a 5 star rating. For example, all the mattresses were too soft and the pillows were too hard making for a less than optimal sleep. When we arrived, we had to do a semi scavenger hunt to make sure we had enough towels for all guests. There were no throw blankets so hanging out on the sofa to watch the tv was chilly, and the television required a code which was only provided when I reached back to the property manager. The positive is that although our door code didn't work, the property management company was easily accessible and help to resolve the issue. With a few improvements (especially the beds), I would consider staying here again.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the cleanliness and the neighborhood. We appreciate your notes on the beds, pillows, towels, and blankets – these details are important, and we’ll work on improving them. While I’m happy our team resolved the door code and TV issue quickly, I apologize for the initial inconvenience.
We’d love to welcome you back in the future with these improvements in place. Thank you again for sharing your experience!

We pull up to the property and there is a “For Sale” sign. That feels good. Lol.The driveway gate is open. Is someone in the house? Is someone in the house?We could not access the front door with the code. I had to call several times to get one that worked.The reason i booked this property was for the fire places. Which were not active!!The property was advertised as gated. But the gate did not close therefore leaving it open. There were a lot homeless wandering around. Our party included 5 young girls. It would have been nice to have a gated property as advertised. The game room had no games. Shuffle board table had no sand. Good thing we brought a deck of cards!!The wi fi did not work until the final day of our stay.Overall it was a failure on your part to give any sort of a Grand Welcome!The property being for sale really says it all. You dont care about the property. It shouldnt be listed as a short term rental.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations and appreciate the opportunity to clarify for future guests.
The “For Sale” sign does not impact reservations, as the home remains fully operational and available for guest stays while it is on the market. Regarding access, once we were made aware of the front door concern, our team provided guidance to ensure entry.
We also want to clarify that the driveway gate is fully operational. It should not have been left open, and we will ensure it is properly closed and monitored moving forward to align with the property description.
We take pride in the homes we manage and the experience we provide. Your feedback has been reviewed internally so we can continue improving communication and presentation for future guests.
