Lovely Austin house
We had a great stay for our son’s college graduation. The house is perfectly located for enjoying South Congress, and even though it’s just a block away, the street is quiet and authentic old Austin. Excellent communication and information from the host.

Super home in an amazing SoCo location!!
Chad is the best host one could hope for, providing a beautiful set up home that’s within steps of the best of South Congress. Everything that one might need is provided and in working order. The dining areas inside and outside are generous and have enough seating for large groups. Wonderful home and host, that’s why it’s our second stay there and absolutely will not be our last! Thanks Chad.

Great stay!
We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Chad's wonderful home. We were wanting to stay where we could walk to restaurants and shops, and this was the best location in Austin to be able to do that. To our surprise, even though we were only one block away, we heard no noise at all from South Congress, and we were there over New Year's Eve! The house was perfect for our group, comfortable and homey, and was one of the best equipped rentals we've stayed in. Thank you so much, Chad, for sharing your home with us, and thank you for the inviting atmosphere that greeted us when we arrived.

Perfectly-Located Haven
My team was in town for SXSW, our first big trip since the pandemic, so having a cozy home base after all the networking, events, and parties was important. Chad's home was perfectly located close to SoCo restaurants (we never had a bad meal!) and a straight shot to the Convention Center and downtown. We could not have asked for a better place with plenty of space for the three of us. Whenever we had any issues, Chad was immediately responsive and attentive via text. We'd love to come back again!

Cute, clean house in a great location
Location, location, location. Neighborhood is so fun. House is cute, very clean, as pictured. Host was very accommodating and communication was great. I think it's important for potential renters to be aware that there is no longer a backyard grassy area (at least for time being) and no hammock as pictured. Backyard pics are a bit dated, appears most people have replaced their backyards/garages with a second house, so fewer trees, not quite so secluded. We were out for much of our short stay and this did not interfere; we were still able to use the back porch; however it is helpful to know what to expect when you arrive. Cheers!

Fantastic home in an amazing location!
The home was comfy, beautiful and super well equipped. Great bed linens and towels. It had all we needed for a fun Austin stay for our group of 5. And the location so close to South Congress but in a quiet neighborhood—just can’t be beat! Chad was very responsive in booking and was right on top of a small question we had on the TV. Really recommend this home and we hope to return!!

Great Location and Host
The location and host are amazing. Chad is easy to communicate with and extremely helpful with his recommendations. The house is very clean and well located; an easy walk to nice spots on South Congress. The suggestions I would have is that the second bathroom needs to be updated soon, along with the mattresses in the second and third bedrooms. Regardless, overall it was a great experience!

Why they chose this property

No other home is closer to the action than this home. Not only can the location not be beat, but the home has plenty of room to move around in with very spacious living room, kitchen, and deck for just hanging out. The FREE PARKING is a huge benefit in this very popular area of town where parking is at a premium.

What makes this property unique

This property offers the ability to have so many restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues at your doorstep. If you decide to go downtown, it is less than 2 miles away and the bus stop is 2 blocks from this location. If you want to spend some time at Town Lake, it is also only 1 mile away or a very short run or bike away.
