Nice home in Austin

We had a great stay at this home. It’s a nice house with modern updates throughout, and the pool was definitely a highlight—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the warm weather. The location was also a big plus: it’s situated in a quiet neighborhood, which made for a peaceful and comfortable stay.Just a heads-up for future guests: this is a personal residence, not just a full-time rental, so you’ll notice the owner’s personal belongings around the house. Overall, a very enjoyable stay in a well-maintained home with a great pool and a relaxing atmosphere.

Great place in Allandale!

Great house for family to stay in for the holiday. We live about 1/2 mile away, and it was lovely to have our aunts and my father-in-law stay here for a week. The house was clean and well prepared, and although we didn't use the pool, it was very well kept.

Great Stay

Great location and layout for our family of 5. Basketball hoop and pool were a hit. The pool was a dirty when we arrived, but the host was able to have someone clean it to make it usable. We also found out when we got there that the dishwasher did not work. Otherwise, a great stay. Definitely recommend it and we would stay again.

Not as advertised

While the place was clean and nice it should be known that this is literally a families home. Nowhere in the listing does it say that the family actually lives there and two of the three bedrooms are literal children’s bedrooms. We were very disappointed and felt uncomfortable as a group of adult women sleeping in children’s bedrooms and family photos plastered all over the walls. The host definitely should’ve mentioned this in the listing.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Upon arriving, we were greeted in the driveway by multiple OVERFLOWING trash bins, which had a smell you could detect immediately after opening car door. We then were informed the front door was broken and we would not be able to lock the door during our stay. Extremely scary and concerning for the 4 girls staying there alone. The VRBO listing photos were very misleading. The photos on this listing are from the Zillow posting prior to this person owning or living in the home. Completely different decor and furniture. It also conveniently doesn’t show the 20 or 30 family photos of all sizes on every wall and shelf. It seemed like the family who lives here had left without knowing they would rent the space out. We had to live around their personal belongings to utilize the space, especially in the bedrooms and bathrooms. There were hand written notes on walls and mirrors made my children. Including one on the hallway bathroom door saying “do not enter”.

Wonderful Place in Austin

We really enjoyed our stay on Stardust! The house was indeed very stylish, very clean, and very comfortable. The pool, patio and private backyard were outstanding, just perfect, exactly what we were looking for! The master bedroom and bathroom were spacious and terrific. We were 3 old college friends on a mini reunion so we were thrilled to find a home with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The 3 bathrooms were great! The listing details were not quite clear on the 3 bedrooms; the 3rd bedroom was a twin over full bunkbed for children, and we were expecting a full bed (plus a bunkbed), so two of us shared the master, which was fine, but not what we had planned. We had a little trouble with the front door "sticking" and so the lock sometimes did not operate smoothly, but we figured it out. Future guests should know that you are renting a wonderful family home, not a sparsely furnished full-time rental unit. The great part about that is that the house is fully stocked with most everything you could need and the host even stocked the fridge with waters for us; it is a very homey and lovely residence. If you are expecting an empty fridge, empty closets and empty laundry room etc., like many rentals, this is not that. This is a family's home. Thank you Mathias and family for opening your home to us!

The inside of the home was clean and well appointed. The exterior needs some TLC. Check in was simple, instructions were easy to follow. We did have an issue with the lock. Its a keypad entry and the mechanical part on the inside of the door fell off as soon as we unlocked it for the first time. We were then unable to lock the door. I tried calling owner twice but no answer. We eventually figure out how to re-attach the unit and it gave no additional trouble during our stay.As I mentioned earlier, the exterior of the home needs some TLC - specifically the backyard. There was an inflatable pool toy (giant turtle sitting next to the pool half deflated - we left it alone. There are planter boxes with weeds growing, grass needed a mow, patio furniture is worn with a few holes and needs to be cleaned. We never attempted to use any grills etc. Nothing too terrible, just some TLC needed.The pool itself had a automated pool cleaner "robot" type of thing that would move around the pool (when it wasnt stuck by the stairs.) I am not sure if it was supposed to be left in the pool but makes pool awkward to use when your feet are getting run over and you get tangled in the hose. The pool itself would turn off around 2:45 in the afternoon and all the debris in the skimmer would then float out in the pool. In most of the house the A/C worked well but the master bedroom was at least 10 warmer than the rest of the house. Not sure if the system was designed that way.

About the host

Hosted by Mathias Ihlenfeld

Host profile image
Welcome to 3204 Stardust Drive! I’m Mathias, an entrepreneur and father, originally from Germany but now based in Austin, Texas. I’ve made this home my personal retreat, and I love sharing it with guests while I’m traveling. It’s more than just a vacation rental—it's where I unwind with my family, host friends, and find inspiration for my business ventures.

As someone who’s passionate about entrepreneurship and balancing life as a dad, I understand the importance of having a space where you can truly relax and recharge. 3204 Stardust is designed to be just that—a peaceful sanctuary where you can enjoy the quiet neighborhood, listen to the birds, and cool off in the pool after a day of exploring Austin.

I love hosting because it allows me to meet interesting people and share the warmth of my home. Whether you're here for work, family time, or just a getaway, I hope you'll find this space as special as I do. From the cozy fireplace and open kitchen to the outdoor pizza oven and full-sized pool, this home has everything you need to make your stay comfortable and memorable.

Thank you for considering my home. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

The Allandale neighborhood in Austin is truly a hidden gem, and one of the things I love most about living here is its unique blend of serenity and city life. Imagine tree-lined streets, charming mid-century homes, and neighbors who wave hello as they walk their dogs or enjoy an evening stroll. It’s peaceful and quiet, with the sound of birds filling the air, making it the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet it’s just a short drive to Austin’s vibrant downtown.

One of my favorite things about Allandale is how family-friendly and community-oriented it feels. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee at one of the local cafes or spending time at Northwest Park, the neighborhood has a warm, welcoming vibe. There’s a sense of nostalgia here, with long-time residents who’ve lived in the area for decades, mixed with young families and professionals.

At 3204 Stardust Drive, the backyard feels like a private oasis, where I can enjoy the stillness of the neighborhood. I love the mornings when the sun filters through the trees, and the afternoons by the pool, cooking pizza in the outdoor oven, and relaxing on the patio. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

What I appreciate most about Allandale is that it offers the best of both worlds. You get the calm and charm of a close-knit neighborhood while being just minutes away from all the amazing restaurants, music, and culture that make Austin such a dynamic city. It’s a perfect place to call home—or to enjoy as a guest!

What makes this property unique

What makes 3204 Stardust Drive truly stand out is the personal touch and unique character of the home. This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s my personal retreat, designed to be a space where you can genuinely unwind and feel at home. I’ve put thought into every detail, from the open-concept living spaces to the peaceful outdoor area, creating a setting that offers both comfort and style.

The full-sized pool and beautiful patio are highlights of the property. It’s rare to find a home with such a well-designed outdoor space, featuring a BBQ grill and a pizza oven that make hosting meals and enjoying time with loved ones a breeze. The backyard feels like a private sanctuary, surrounded by lush greenery and the calming sounds of birds. It’s the perfect place to spend sunny afternoons or quiet evenings under the stars.

Inside, the open kitchen and cozy fireplace bring warmth and connection to the home. Whether you’re cooking a meal or gathering around the fire, the space is designed for family and friends to come together. The dedicated office is another standout feature, perfect for remote work or those needing a quiet space to focus.

Beyond the amenities, what really sets this home apart is the combination of its prime Allandale location—a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood—while still being just minutes from the best of Austin. The mix of tranquility and city access makes 3204 Stardust Drive a truly special place, offering guests an authentic and comfortable experience.
