SIX STAR STAY!!
This was one of my favorite VRBO’s I’ve stayed in! The location is prime, it’s spotless, and it insanely well stocked! The owner was super responsive and was kind enough to accommodate both an early check in and late checkout. I will absolutely be back to this home for my ATX getaways!!

So so
Cockroaches dead and alive. Bathroom sink drains very slowly. Madter shower head leaks and sprays water on drywall. Outdoor grill filthy and connection barely working. Bottled water almost empty and there was not a spare.

Ideal spot for our family gathering
Our 2nd stay at this house. Excellent location - close to our weekend events (Zilker Park, downtown, airport, greenbelt) - but off the beaten path and on a woodsy scenic quiet dead-end street. House was lovely, super clean, VERY comfortable, all the amenities we'd want, with artsy and stylish decor. Owner is responsive, accommodating and personable. Thank you, Danny!

Great place close to my niece
I chose this home because it was the closest to where my niece lives. It was a great place for my brothers and me for a few days. There were plenty of supplies, which isn't always the case. I liked the short, but nice, hiking trail right there. The owner was particularly easy to communicate with and friendly, and allowed an early check in. I liked the quiet neighborhood too. Would stay there again for sure.

Lovely amenities
The location concerned me a bit but the extra thoughtful touches made up for it. The beds and pillows are super comfortable, the towels are so soft, water filtration system was so great, bonus - I saw 2 deer in the back yard. More lighting in the living room would be my only critique.

Stayed with three friends, all of us out of our college years. Close enough to downtown to go in for a night, but far enough out that we could come back and rest in a quiet neighborhood after

Don’t Look Anywhere Else!
Went to Austin with my group of friends for my 30th birthday. This house was perfect! It was super clean, and stocked with everything you can think of. The kitchen is a dream to cook in! The beds are very comfortable and the couch is huge and could fit 2 people if needed. The location is close to downtown. I have absolutely no complaints! This place is worth every penny.
