Perfect Vacation Home

Every year, my family & I travel somewhere new and this year we wanted to experience Austin, San Antonio & surrounding areas - this home was absolutely perfect! Loved the location and the house itself was SO clean! We really appreciated the host’s hospitality and very accommodating for everyone in our group, ranging in age from 3 to 85!

Great family house for a wedding

Our daughter got married in Austin and this house was just perfect for what we needed! Our family had plenty of room, the living room was cozy, the bedrooms were pretty, and the front room was a great spot for the bridesmaids to get ready before heading to the wedding venue. The kitchen and house was so well stocked and Natalina was gracious and kind and so quick to respond to any needs. We can’t say enough great things about our stay! Thank you for everything!

Guy trip lodging

Our trip involved a lot of off-site activities, so we only needed the house for the bedrooms, bathrooms and evening meals. We were more than satisfied with the accomodations. Check-in process was easy, hosts were available when needed, and the location was exactly what we needed.

Wonderful house, wonderful host

We were visiting Austin for the eclipse and the house the perfect place to stay. Lovely, well appointed house with everything we needed. The host was particularly accommodating and responsive! When we found out that we needed camp chairs (we flew in), she provided them and included hats, umbrella's and even a small cooler. We loved sitting out on the back porch in the morning. Highly recommended.

Great home with so much attention to detail. Perfect location if attending an event at COTA as it’s a short ride to get there. Natalina, the host was very responsive to anything we needed. House is well stocked with pretty much anything you need. We stay in VRBO’s pretty frequently and this one was by far one of the best.

Good Place Near Austin

Nice place to hangout or as a hub for visiting the south Austin area. Nice setup with multiple large screen tvs, and a pool table. Nice surprise stock of snacks and plenty of coffee cups. Currently in a quiet area across from a landfill zone but that didn’t impact the stay. Easy access to the freeway about 30 minutes from DT Austin on a typical traffic day but also 30 minutes from Lockhart and San Marcos.

Graduation Gathering

We had a graduation ceremony at Concordia University. A change of venue for the ceremony made this location a bit out of the way, but it was perfect for our family to relax and enjoy each other and to serve a celebration meal with a couple of other close friends. Everyone enjoyed the accommodations—the well appointed rooms, the backyard, the pool table, etc. We used the grill and the fire pit.It goes down in our family history as a special memory.

About the host

Hosted by Natalina Contreras

We are Michael and Natalina... We are both Austinites that absolutely love our town and home.
We started our journey together at our 20-year high school reunion where we re-connected. We expanded our new blended family; we expanded our business adding Rental Properties to the mix. Together we are our own Dream Team and truly aim to serve others in any way we can.

Why they chose this property

Well, Thanks to my time in the Navy, I have shared my love to travel with my family. So, we have taken that knowledge to our home away from home.
We try to include all that we can think of that might make a trip just that much easier, something as simple as Shampoo/Conditioner/Bodywash, which is always available. Even for kids. I provided it so you don't have to pack it or worry that it will spill during travel.

Our goal is to provide a clean, relaxed, comfortable environment for all guests in either home that we rent.

We aim to please and are always available.

What makes this property unique

We absolutely love this home - and hope that you will too. It's clean, warm, and inviting. There are plenty of beds to sleep up to Fifteen people.

The backyard is expansive and serene with no fences and just the beauty of the land and trees. It has become an extended part of the home - that we love to enjoy the sunrise or have you're morning coffee on the front porch.

There are just so many places to hang out and just enjoy being together in this Home away from Home.
