Great property in a great location. It’s a fifteen minute walk to Taco Deli, Black’s BBQ, Brown’s BBQ truck (hugely underrated), and many other south Austin locations. The house was very clean, the host was very communicative and helpful, and the backyard and pool were fantastic (and very clean). Overall, an excellent place with just the right amount of south Austin charm.

The pool and yard were a major selling point for us given that we were visiting Austin in late July. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the hangout space in the garage.

The pool/backyard and the location were excellent. Better than anticipated. The house was clean and the beds comfortable. Furniture and most of the appliances were dated. Although, everything was functional. And again, the pool and location made the entire stay worth it.

Everything was as described in the listing. The house is lovely and clean. My kids had a great time using the pool. We were able to find everything we needed in the kitchen to make meals and used the bbq one night for some quick simple grilling. We had a blast at night playing darts as a family. Communication with John was easy and quick. We will definitely rent again next time we are in Austin.

Great location in Austin. Older home with lots of charm and the pool is really nice. I had issues with check-in and the code was wrong so that was stressful. It was a great house for a quick trip.

Beautiful stay

The property exceeded our expectations from the moment we stepped in. It has unique character with its decor and amenities. The beautiful backyard with pool is certainly the highlight. Location cannot be any better with walkable distance to restaurants and south Congress Will certainly come back next time

Awesome Place

The house is great, but the backyard is spectacular. The pool is shaded most of the day by large trees so you can enjoy the cool water on a hot day without overdoing it under the sun. The place is also conveniently located, mere minutes from downtown. But in a quiet and quaint neighborhood.

Perfect Home w/Pool in SoCo

The Owner/Host was very helpful and gracious. The backyard with pool was perfect for relaxing or swimming laps. Original back door and bathroom door and updated barn door are tricky, but function - be patient and enjoy the charm

Amazing back yard

We rented this house for a friends getaway. The location is perfect, walking distance to a lot of great restaurants and a cool brewery. We loved the setup of the house, with the bedrooms each having their own bathroom and on opposite sides of the house from each other. Beds and pillows were really comfortable! The pictures don't do it justice - it's a unique and beautiful home, especially out back. I would stay here again!

Perfect As Advertised

We had a great stay! I rate my stays based on location, cleanliness, and good for pets. It was 5 stars for all. The pool is great. The neighborhood is awesome and close to everything. The owner communication was good. He even let us know that we could check in early because the house was ready. We would absolutely stay again.

Fantastic house in a great location

We loved our stay here. The house was perfect for our needs. It has everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We loved the backyard and wish we had room for our cornhole set in the car because that would have been even better. Our dog likes to try and escape fences and had no luck here. We felt she was very secure when we let her out. The location was great and it was nice to have a parking spot in the driveway. There was also available street parking. We hope to stay there again in the future.

Location, location, location

This is the place to stay in Austin. The house is located in a quiet neighbor that was literally within 20 minutes of everything we had planned to do in Austin (even better it was within 5 minutes to Magnolia’s for breakfast and Terry Blacks’s for the best barbecue). If you want to stay active on your trip then the pool is nice for laps and the neighborhood is perfect for ruining or it is about 1 mile to the river for a perfect running trail. The listing is spot on with what you will get with the property. The house has a nice lay out with separation between the two bedrooms for some privacy. The host’s communication could not have been better.

Great stay in Austin

We stayed at this house for a week and worked remotely there part of the time. The master bedroom was incredibly comfortable and we had great internet speeds for working and a great workspace area in the dining room. We also brought our two dogs. There was a really nice backyard for them. I would 100% stay here again. Property owner also had plenty of toilet paper, garbage bags, toiletries, etc. If you have a small dog, the front gate is high enough a dog could escape. We put a rock in front of it while we were there. The pool guy also keeps a bucket behind the shed that my dogs found. We flipped that over to keep them out. Otherwise, no complaints at all. We very much enjoyed our stay and how convenient it was to the city.
