Great get-away

What a beautiful house. We were able to walk to SoCo and enjoy the retail and restaurants. The house has a lovely peaceful garden to sit and listen to the birds and relax with some coffee and visit with friends. The property has all the amenities we needed and comfortable beds too. We will be back! This place is truly a gem!

Great house, Great location

Easy walk to Congress Ave, the river and even downtown and neighborhood is quiet. Beds were comfortable and each couple had their own bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and had basics like coffee filters, sugar, salt and pepper, dishwasher detergent, etc. Comfortable outdoor patio furniture would have made it perfect. Overall great house.

Good accommodations and locations

Lots of space. Nice having 3 bedrooms with 3 separate bathrooms. Bedrooms were spread out to allow for privacy. Kitchen island was a nice gathering space. Walking distance to South Congress, which has shopping and dining. Also a nice short walk to Lady Bird Trail, which has a path allowing you to walk along the Colorado River. The outdoor space could be something great with a few upgrades. We didn't use it at all, but would have if more than a folding table and chairs were available. Overall, good accommodations and we'd stay here again.

The descriptions of this home were spot on. Located in a quiet neighborhood convenient to parks, shops, and dining, as well as the airport and downtown, I felt we were in the ideal location. The management is attentive and responsive, even though it is corporate. If you have children, you might need to bring your own bedding if you don't want them sleeping in your king-size bed, but the beds are comfortable.

Unique wonderful place!

Loved this place! Perfect gathering spot for our family to connect while in town for a memorial service. Kitchen, bathrooms and beds were so nice and spacious! Decor is fun! Wish we had gotten to spend more time at the house and enjoy the ambiance! The location was great and made it easy to drive to the events we were in town for. Highly recommend!!!

The only thing we could not figure out was the upstairs tv. We could not get it to work. The other tvs were very small but we were nit in the house that much during the day so it was ok. House Is gorgeous. Perfect location and tons of room. Will definitely come back.

Fun Austin Retreat

Spacious, beautiful and well appointed property. Located within walking distance of many venues, bars and restaurants, with rideshares galore readily available as well. The management company responded rapidly to the small problem we had concerning the house not being ready when we arrived and sent a team to rectify the problem.

Dont judge a book by its cover

Although this property was very clean it had numerous issues starting with the main floor bedroom and bath. The bed is unsleepable and feels like it has shifting plates of rock. The shower head was not operable. The upstairs shower was also not operable because entry into the shower was hindered by a non operstional shower door. The patio furniture does not match the pictures which others have mentioned. Fan in main room amd many lightd were out. Also, the fact that you uave to walk around the house to enter and go over rocks and pavers is not suitable for the elderly or anyone with disabilities. Ladtly, the seating looks attractive but is very uncomfortable for just sitting and talking.

Happy with our stay

The home was just as described (by owner and reviews). I like how the bedrooms were on different ends and levels of the house. We were only there for 3 nights so we didn't have much need for some of the extra living areas. I think it's a great space for families of all ages. We had two young children (3 & 7) so the back yard was not ideal since it has no lawn space. The patio furniture was a folding table and chairs. It would have been a much nicer with more comfortable outdoor furniture. Nevertheless we gathered outside and enjoyed the space. The home was very clean. The sleep number beds were great. They missed on stocking of dish washer detergent and garbage bags. We didn't cook except for breakfast but we had what we needed. We had no problems with the water but renters need to read about how it works to understand it. The location was great. It is within walking distance from the main strip with lots of restaurants and shops. The daily rate was reasonable but I thought the fees were high. Fees were more than the lodging portion. I was happy with our stay and with the right group would stay again (especially if the outdoor seating was improved).
