IMPORTANT!! PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS!

I want you to have an enjoyable and memorable stay. I also want to make sure the property is left in good condition for the next guests to enjoy. So please observe these rules for the safety of you, your family, friends and for the protection of the property.

-There is absolutely no smoking anything inside or outside of the house. If you smoke, this may not be the property for you. There is a $100 fine if we find cigarette butts or evidence of smoking anything, anywhere. You can smoke in your car.
-Please notify us in advance if you are planning to have a small celebration with your registered guests.
-Please notify us in advance if you will be bringing pets. We have a max of 2 allowed and you must be ok with our pet rules:
-Keep pets off all furniture and bedding.
-No unsupervised pets in the backyard under any circumstances.
-Pets are not allowed in the pool or gardens.
-Please pick up pet waste before checking out.

-No unsupervised children in yard under any circumstances.
-Swing set is made for children and may not be safe for people over 100 lbs.
-Playhouse is made of wood and may give your kid a splinter. No one over 100 lbs.
-The pool is a private pool and has a deep end of ~10 feet and a shallow end of ~3.5 feet. There is no pool fence and no lifeguard on duty. Swim at your own risk. Supervise children and pets in the backyard at all times. We maintain the pool all year, with weekly pool service. You must be ok with the pool company possibly showing up during your stay to do their job. They will enter through the side gate and will take about 30 minutes to do their job.
If you notice the pool doesn't look right or is starting to turn green, please notify me immediately.
-Pools break unexpectedly sometimes (just like cars do). We do everything we can to fix it immediately when it happens but sometimes it's not possible. It rarely happens, but it does happen. The pool chemicals are balanced and safe to swim in most of the time, even when something goes wrong with the equipment. You have to be ok with this possibility. Full refunds will not be given if the pool is not usable for some reason, but you will get a partial refund for not being able to use it. Again, this would be a rarity for the pool not to be usable.
-On Wednesdays, weather permitting, the lawn crew shows up to mow the front and back yards. They will enter through the side gate and take about 30 minutes to do their job. You have to be ok with the lawn crew showing up during your stay. I will not cancel them.
-Absolutely no playing on or around the shed and other materials on the sides of the property.
-After using the gas grill, please use the provided tools and citrus spray to clean the grill after it cools down. If you do not clean it, there is a $25 charge.
-No glitter or confetti of any size is allowed inside or outside the house. It's too hard to clean up. If we find glitter or confetti there will be a $100 minimum additional cleaning fee.
-Wind down the patio umbrella when not in use. If there are high winds, do not use the umbrella. It will break and I'll have to charge a $600 replacement fee. We check between each reservation.
-If something breaks or doesn't work, please report it to us right away so that we can work to fix it during your stay.

We came to Austin to go to the theater to see Hamilton. We needed a place that had at least 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and this listing fit the bill. We were all comfortable and had the privacy we needed.

Lovely Property and host

We came to Austin for a girls’ trip and it was everything we needed! The location is fantastic, 10-20 minutes away from anything worth seeing in Austin. The pool was great for hanging out in the heat. Plenty of seating and comfortable furniture. Host was polite, kind, and supportive. They had everything we needed in the kitchen and for the pool. Best short term rental I’ve ever stayed at for a large group. Would definitely stay there again! 💖💖

Great spot with funky decor.

The house was very cozy and had plenty of amenities. The pool was fantastic but a little too warm to use during the day, but that’s to be expected during August in Texas. Easy check in and check out instructions, all requests related to clean up and using the home were reasonable. We had a great time and would stay again.

Family fun!

Accomodations were comfy & room to socialize. The pool & toys were the main attraction, toys & towels were nice. Marked depths would be helpful with kids. The infant items that we thought we were going to have to do without were very helpful (but not listed). Playground was super for kids (but not listed). Kitchen was fully stocked & toiletries were great. The only improvement for this family would be a handicap accessible bedroom/bathroom. We had a great time & appreciate the owners kindness!

Great Location and Comfortable Stay

Very roomy and comfortable home for the three of us, with plenty of room to spare. Pictures were very accurate on website, nothing fancy on the inside, but furnishings and interior are cute and very well maintained. Nice outdoor area with fenced backyard, and large in-ground pool made the July weather bearable. Location was ideal as Franklin's BBQ and Expressways about 10 minutes away. Seems like a nice quiet neighborhood, and wife felt safe getting her morning walks in. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Convenient & relaxing

The location was convenient & the house cozy. Everything was fairly well maintained & the amenities mostly took care of our needs. The kids were in the pool often & the pool toys available were very helpful. Be careful with bare feet in the pool - nearly all of our kids’ feet were scratched up by the pool wall. Checkin & checkout was super easy. The lack of kitchen cooking supplies made it difficult to cook for our large group & no storage supplies were available (Tupperware/ziploc bags). The shower curtains could use a refresh. Overall, we’d definitely stay again.

Great family outpost

We had a great time staying at the house. The pool was, of course, a big hit with the family. The backyard as a whole was perfect for a family outing. Other than a 10am (a little earlier than normal departure),the check in and out process were very straightforward, The rooms were nicely kept and the decor was really creative and wonderful - we really liked all of the awesome paintings and wall hangings. If you are looking for a good summer spot for the family with a pool - this is a great option!

LOVED this stay

Came here for a little bachelorette getaway with friends and had such a great time. Kim was super responsive and so helpful - our grocery delivery arrived hours before we did and she was so helpful so our stuff didn't get ruined! The house is spacious, calm, and quiet but a close drive to everything. Beds are very comfortable. It is also fully stocked with pool floaties- so a pool party is a must. Would definitely come back here/kind of want to live here!

Wow! This place is unbelievable!

We stayed here for a reunion with a bunch of friends and it was absolutely perfect! This place represents all of my favorite things about Austin! Fantastic host, funky decor, comfy couch, huge yard with a view of downtown, grill, huge pool, great grass to lay on, tankless hot water heater, newer hvac, great dishwasher, open floor plan, big tables inside and out for everyone to gather for meals, super close to everything, garage, floats, front porch, cheap ubers, real glass champagne flutes, wine glasses, and sjot glasses, great bathrooms, so much space, and cozy comfoters and blankets, the beds were super comfortable, and there was plenty of counterspace and extra stuff in the pantry for cooking! This place was perfect! Thanks so much for everything! We have such an awesome time!

Had a blast!

Overall the booking process was easy, Kim was VERY responsive, and even offered to take inflatables at the last minute. I've never swam in a salt water pool, and I was very happy with it. Like it better than the chlorine pool! The Pool was deep enough to jump into but on the other side low enough for my beginner swimmers /young ones We enjoyed the yard mostly. She had everything we needed to make dinner, I couldn't think of anything we didn't have. Thank you we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.
