Exactly as described and it was a great stay.

We had a great time in Austin and the property is very well maintained, probably a step above others in terms of quality of cookware and stocking of the kitchen.It was everything we wanted it to be and we all had a lovely time in Austin.

Quiet neighborhood, thoughtful touches

We really enjoyed our weekend at this property. Great restaurants are within a short walking distance, the neighborhood is safe and quiet, and there are thoughtful touches which made our stay perfect. We enjoyed a dip in Barton Springs pool and were so glad the home owners provided beach towels. The backyard was perfect for our dogs to chase their tennis ball and also was nicely shaded by a beautiful oak tree. We will definitely try to return to this home next time we are in Austin for a weekend.

Great spot for the family

Carol was so helpful to bring out a high hair and pack & play for our baby. She also checked in to make sure everything was fine which was nice. The AC was nice and cool for a heat wave that melted us Pacific Northwest visitors. Thanks for a great stay!

Great place to stay in Austin

We came here to stay for the weekend for a family wedding at a venue nearby. The hosts are great and very communicative and made our stay here memorable for a variety of reasons. Great location with lots to do nearby, great neighborhood to walk around in (and very safe) and the house was great to stay in — everything you see in the pictures. Highly recommend staying here.

Great location!

Cute little house in great location. Very clean and well stocked. Several outdoor spaces to enjoy the weather. Located across the street from a small park and walking trail. We stayed for ACL Music Festival and the house was easily walkable to Zilker. They kept the old charm of the house without it feeling dated. Owner was nearby and very responsive.

Weekend Stay

This house worked perfectly for my family of 5. It sits in a quiet neighborhood in a great location that is close to a lot of terrific Austin attractions. It was very nice to have a couple of outdoor areas, including the park / walking trail across the street.

Perfection!

The place was perfect for our trip to Austin with our 9 month old son. Our hosts provided excellent recommendations, and so much was within walking distance. The house is was the perfect set up for a small family, and they even provided a crib and high chair for us. We’re already trying to figure out when we can come back!!

Comfortable and cozy oasis in a great location

Everything about the house was comfortable including the bed! We had everything we needed and the backyard was well appointed (lounge chairs, table, grill) and perfect for our senior dog. Cute and quiet neighborhood. Carole was a super host and checked in several times to make sure everything was OK. We would stay here again.

Great location and so clean!

We loved this property. Everything was so clean and well organized. My husband and I were here with our daughter, her husband and 3 month old baby for a wedding. The house had everything we needed. They even supplied the pack and play! Cute little areas to relax outside from a side porch to back yard seating. Owners were very helpful and easy to reach.

Beautiful home/ fantastic location!

This two bedroom bungalow is perfect in every way. Situated in a lovely, quiet and tree-lined neighborhood, yet just a few blocks from great restaurants and shops. The house was spotless, and has everything you need The backyard is great with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. The hosts were very responsive and thoughtful. We will stay here again!

Fantastic location! Everything you need!

Beautiful 2 bedroom home just a few blocks from fun shops and restaurants in SoHo/Austin as well as the famous Lady Bird Trail, which we took advantage of as much as possible. Although close to everything, it is located in an exceptionally quiet, tree lined neighborhood. The home has everything you need; size size kitchen with gas range, washer and dryer, comfortable living room with large TV, bed linens were cozy and fresh and everything was spotless when we arrived. The back yard has lots of room for your dog to run and play. We've stayed in many VRBO homes, and these hosts were the most responsive and thoughtful of all the hosts we've had. The next time we're in Austin, we will stay here again!

Extremely Comfy Home In The Heart Of Everything!

We stayed a month here, and it was like a home away from home! The house is very well equipped with lots of lovely touches. The kitchen is a great size and has every possible utensil and gadget you need! The lounge has a lovely big sofa and Netflix! Plus some great board games! The beds are comfy and the bedrooms are a good size. The garden area and bbq deck is great for outdoor meals. We also loved being so close to SoCo, the river and Zilker Park/Barton Springs. El Mercado, just around the corner, is a great spot for dinner (and has a play area out the back for kids!). Carole and Kerry obviously care a great deal about their guests' experience - both in the home and around Austin in general. They were on hand at all times and responded quickly to any questions we had. There is plethora of information booklets and leaflets on the area so you can make the most of your stay. We would definitely stay here again when we are in Austin. Recommend!

Great location!

We recently stayed in Austin and rented this home for 2 couples. It's in such a convenient location and in a beautiful neighborhood! We were maybe a block from food trucks and within 5 minutes of all the locations we wanted to check out. We used Uber and it was around $5 everywhere we wanted to go. Easily walkable if you have comfortable shoes. Home was stocked with plenty of dishes and silverware, hair dryer, shampoo, coffee, toilet paper... all the little things that make renting a vrbo home easy. Owner was very prompt and getting in and out was a breeze. Our only downfall was the size of the beds. Not great for four adults, but we made it work! There's also no fan in the bathroom, so love the ones you are with!
