This gorgeous 3 bedroom / 3 full bath home is a gem in the heart of the

Congress, anything and everything you might need is right at your

kitchen and dining area. The downstairs also features a full bathroom, a
large office with a regularly serviced upright piano, a separate laundry
room, as well as a large coat and storage closet.


Upstairs are three bedrooms as well as an open nook area, perfect for cozy
reading, or for the kids to play with magna-tiles and Duplos. The primary

w/ a large closet and the third bedroom has 2 twin beds, perfect for
children (foam bumpers for these beds are in the bedroom’s closet if

convenient stay, as well as two indigenous Live Oak trees in the front and
back of the house. The brand new private back patio includes a gorgeous
dining and entertaining area, underneath dimmable bistro lights just steps
from the covered wrap-around back porch with porch swing, sitting area,
dimmable lights and ceiling fans.

The house was great and the amenities were awesome, well stocked ; location was perfect but the floors sb cleaner dusting them isn’t enough .

Beautiful home
Beautiful home that was fully stocked and had lots of space. It was walking distance from the south congress district which was very convenient. Only complaint was that the host responses were extremely delayed or they did not respond to my messages at all. Overall we are happy with our stay.

Absolutely Wonderful
Great location! We felt very safe and neighborhood was very walkable. Close to everything fun which meant not a lot of time in the car getting to the different venues. House was perfect! Big enough that we were not crowded but felt warm and homey. Would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great home
This house was nicely furnished and comfortable. Great space for a family and included all the necessary items for a short stay. The house is starting to show some wear but was very comfortable. Also, there was a high chair and pack n play there - wish that had been posted because we rented one from a local service.

Great House, Great Location
We stayed here while in Austin for our son’s wedding. Location is great! Close to downtown and restaurants on Congress Street. Neighborhood is safe and quiet. Our only complaint was that the keypad on the front door worked to unlock the door but not lock it when leaving the house. I notified the management company about the problem shortly after our arrival and was told where to find a key for the door. I would hope the lock has been repaired by now, but if not I recommend supplying more keys as it was inconvenient to only have one key for 4 guests. This problem aside, our stay was wonderful and we would stay here again.

Great House
The house is great, laid out nicely with the living room down and bedrooms up. Easy short walk to South Congress bars and shopping. The main negative for me was the check in. We knew the house keeper had come and gone, and I was told once they left and the house was ready, I would get a text. The home was ready and no text. 4:00 is a very late check in and 10:00 is a very early check out so keep that in mind if you get in early or have a later departure day of. Otherwise the house itself is great.

One of the Worst and Unclean Experiences Ever!
There is a total lack of communication from the property owner and the guest. I sent an email regarding early check in and heard nothing. The property managers call center which is out sourced out of the country could care less about anything that is going wrong. The house was filthy with dead bugs in the master bed and pubic hair. There was also many stains on the furniture as well as female stains on the bed sheets. There were numerous roaches we saw inside the home downstairs. The back yard is a complete joke. Do not count on using it as they have not cleaned it in several months. A horrible experience I would not wish on anyone.
