We so much enjoyed our stay! The property was amazing and everything was perfect! Our little dog enjoyed playing with their dogs too. I would highly recommend this property! Thank you so much to our wonderful hosts!!
I really enjoyed my stay. The house is in a great location and the condition is very nice. It has all the amenities you would need and is nice and clean. The pool and outdoor space is terrific as well. If I am in the Austin area again, I would definitely stay at the house.

Thank you Michael. You were a great guest. Looking forward to hosting you again.
The place was great from check in to check out. It’s a second floor private apartment, with great design, comfy bed and sheets, big closet and modern appliances. Hosts were super nice and accommodating and everything was just super easy. Highly recommend.
Words can't express how amazing this house and these owners are.......It is truly heaven and Cynthia and Desire are the best hosts and all around beautiful people. If you love a central location, dogs and good feed everywhere this is your spot.

Collette is the perfect guest. She also owns rental property and it is heart warming to know that she loves, respects and takes care of my house like it was hers. I would rent to her anytime.
The place is just a lovely oasis! The grounds are beautiful and serene. Desiree and Cynthia, the hostesses, are a mother and daughter team. They made us feel like we were staying with family! There was not one thing we needed that wasn’t provided. It was so perfect! We cannot wait to visit again!
We loved our stay at this vrbo. The house was very clean and modern but also very comfortable. Perfect spot to chill for a bit in between seeing all that Austin has to offer. Everything we planned to see was either walking distance or a short drive so it's very central to everything. Desirae, the host, was so nice and gave us a welcoming tour when we arrived. Loved the dogs too! We will definitely be back!
We came to this property for a stay-cation over the Memorial Day weekend. What an absolute delight! The architectural and interior design is stunning. The garden and grounds are tranquil and tropical. Within 1 mile of countless restaurants and shopping.
Absolutely a 5-star experience. Looking forward to returning.
My girlfriend and I enjoyed a great long weekend in Austin staying here. The house looked very nice, outside and in. Desirae, and her wonderful dogs, were there to greet us and give us the tour as we arrived. Very welcoming host with a beautiful home and quiet atmosphere at the house and neighborhood. Overall it’s a fantastic property with a wonderful and welcoming host, you won’t be disappointed staying here.
Comfortable lodging in a convenient location which served as a good base camp from which to conduct off-property activities. Patrons share common space for cooking, lounging and swimming with the very hospitable owners...and their delightful dogs. All-in-all, a good experience but in our minds a bit overpriced granted likely in keeping with the Austin market overall.
My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights, recently. We could not have asked for a better experience at Desirae’s place. Everything was top notch - the amenities, location, communication - all stellar! The bed was comfy and we loved looking out the HUGE picture windows at the old oak trees and pool area. This is nothing short of an oasis inside the city limits. We would not hesitate to book this home-away-from-home the next time we are in Austin!

Amazing
Omg great home , loving owners. I don’t want to leave 😭. These ppl are amazing , will be back for sure . The dogs greet you with open paws lol I love em ..
My girlfriend and I stayed here and we didn’t want to leave! The location is close to everything Austin has to offer. The design of the space is so thoughtful and it felt just like we were living in an up-scale treehouse. We felt so connected with nature. The dogs are so precious. (Bella the Basset Hound and I have a special relationship that I will remember forever!) The Owner’s Mom immediately took care of the very few basic coordination items we needed to deal with and she was so sweet and kept to herself so as to not intrude on anything. We had another couple come over for drinks and enjoyed the observation deck with them. Such a special, special place!!!
Blissful Backyard Oasis Perfect for Our Anniversary
We could not have asked for a better location to relax, unwind, and celebrate our 28th anniversary than this spectacular modern home and backyard oasis.
The incredible hosts, Desirae and her mother, Cynthia, were attentive to every detail, including a spectacular champagne upon our arrival.
We particularly love the architecture, and the attention to detail in both the interior design and the amenities. Everything we needed to be perfectly comfortable throughout our stay.
We floated in the pool for hours, staring up at the majestic live oak trees, and played with the friendly dogs during the day. At night, we enjoyed cool breezes (and zero mosquitos) on the third-floor patio with a perfect view of the stars overhead and the Austin skyline off in the distance.
Cynthia was gracious enough to show us around her art studio on the property, and of course, we had to bring home a couple of pieces of her beautiful pottery as a keepsake.
All in all, an absolutely blissful time—and one of our favorite vacations ever. We'll definitely be back.
