Great property and hosts!

This property is perfect if you are looking for a fun trip to Austin close to all the downtown fun! The property is a few minute drive from the heart of downtown. The home, pool and spa, and guest property made the perfect location for our wedding weekend. Hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with!

Great location for 1st time visitors to Austin!

We were delighted to stay at this super convenient rancher in the South Congress District! The pool was wonderful during our 80 degree temps. We used their fun barbecue a few times and took advantage of the walkable distance to shops and bars. Over all, a lovely stay!

Great stay!

The property owner and manager saved us after another home rental didn't work out. They were immediately responsive and helped us get in and settled at the last minute on a Friday night. The house is so fun with a great pool, video arcade game and plenty of room for our group. The backyard casita was excellent.

Amazing SOCO Location

We had an amazing stay in Austin! The property is actually perfect for families! The Grandparents and kids stayed in the main house and we stayed in the guest house and it was like a mini-vacation inside our vacation!! The house is well stocked and nicely decorated. Pool was clean and Brian was awesome responding to a few questions we had. Overall the location, space and property was truly a great getaway! We will be back!!

Awesome

Totally enamored with this space! The home is beautiful and I’m slightly obsessed with the decor. The outdoor space is its own little paradise and the casita is a wonderful bonus. Tucked into a sweet, sleepy neighborhood, we were close to great restaurants and had easy access to all Austin has to offer. Already looking forward to another trip to Austin so we can stay here! Our hosts were very accessible and thoughtful.

Great location

House is located on a quiet street one block off Congress with great access to restaurants, coffee shops, grocery store, etc. Owners were very responsive throughout the rental process. House was comfortable with all the amenities one would expect. Note that the "main" house only has one bathroom. The other bathroom is located in the guest house. Would definitley recommend.

Perfect

This home is the perfect set up for a rental. For us it was a group of 6 ladies celebrating a bachelorette but I could see myself returning with my family as well. The pool was perfect. We used the well stocked kitchen to make coffee and breakfast. About 15 minutes to the airport and walkable or short Uber to South Congress. Great weekend!

Great House! Perfect for our needs!

The house was wonderful! Very modern and everything was provided. The owners were very responsive and great to work with whenever we would call to ask a question. We booked the house for a bachelorette party. It was in a great location... Private but also close enough to the nightlife. The only issue we had was the occasional cockroach sighting. In a house full of girls, there was chaos when we saw one! Other than that, it was great!

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 24, 2020
I am really glad you enjoyed your stay! That said, I was mortified when I read that you saw some pests during your stay. As we discussed, we immediately contacted a pest control expert. According to the expert the problem was a temporary one due to excessive rains and flooding that walloped Texas in May. Suffice to say we have taken care of the issue. Again, thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We strive to make our guests experience seemless and fun and I'm really glad you enjoyed your time in Austin. If you are a prospective guest please read our other 5 star reviews for this property.

Great house with pool near South Congress

We just spent a few days over July 4th at this great little house near south Congress. The main house has 3 bedrooms and the backyard guest house has another bed/bath, so I can see why this home would be great for groups. Our dog loved the large, fenced backyard, and we enjoyed hosting friends in the pool and grilling burgers on the charcoal grill. The pool and the house were stocked with everything we needed, and the decor pays homage to the Austin music scene. We also had a ton of fun playing Galaga on the arcade cabinet. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful from check-in to check out, and even came by to check on the pool as we arrived to show us how to work the grill and the different remotes/lights for the house. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect comfortable house right off SoCo!

This was the perfect house for our group of 6 friends. It’s centrally located in a great neighborhood. The house was clean, tastefully decorated, beds were real comfy, and the pool in the backyard was the cherry on top. We’d definitely stay again!

Best Stay in Austin

This VRBO is the best I have stayed at! The house was spotless. The pool was perfect. The hosts were responsive and went above and beyond when we had a question. The guesthouse was the icing on the cake! It was SO nice to have a separate area to hang out in. Everyone in the group was raving about the linens and the comfort of the beds. The kitchen was fully stocked with every tool and appliance you may need. And the location was PERFECT. Walking distance to S Congress. I was able to wake up early and explore a bit before the crowds and the mid day heat. And it was close enough to all the hot spots that we didn't have to spend an arm and a leg on transportation. I will definitely be staying here again for my next trip to Austin!

Great for a visit to Austin or a staycation!

I am from Austin and had friends visiting for a bachelorette weekend. We could not recommend this place more! It was a great location, the pool was beautiful and the space was perfect for a large group. Brian was very easy to communicate with and was a great host. I will be recommending this property to all my visitors in the future!

Could not have had a more perfect stay for my large group of 11 people. Brian was very accommodating and responds quickly. Pool and hot tub are stunning and the house/guesthouse are clean and spacious with quirky fun touches. Highly highly recommend

Best House I have stayed in!!

My daughter just graduated UT Austin, so I have been traveling to Austin for the past 4 years. This house has been the best I have stayed in. It was perfect for us. We used the pool and hot tub almost everyday which was fabulous. The location was perfect we walked up and down South Congress and it is around the corner from the supermarket. The rooms are nice and the kitchen is terrific. The owners are wonderful and responsive. If I get the opportunity I would stay again. If this house is available book it!
