Absolutely Perfect
My first time in Austin and I picked the best spot. This location is in a super neat area. Even though this home is located in a quiet neighborhood, there were lots of fun restaurants near by. We walked to them a couple times. I even walked to the downtown area. It was a nice walk over a scenic bridge and walking trail. Any time I called for an Uber, they were there within 3-5 minutes. And there’s the park close by with the cool water spring to enjoy. The house is big! The house was so beautiful and decorated with the hippest art work I’ve ever seen in a rental. Beds were very comfortable. Sheets, pillows and towels were crisp clean and fluffy. The entire home was updated and I felt I was in a brand new home. I can’t even begin to explain how much we loved this home. The layout is such that we would never have know anyone else was in the home. I especially love that the door had a keypad so I never had to worry about losing a key. Oh, and the A/C worked perfectly it was so humid while I was in town and it felt so wonderful to walk into this home every day. One day I literally stayed in that cool dark bedroom all day. It felt so good. Best VRBO I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve traveled a lot.

Great Location, close to Zilker Park
When you first pull up to the house you are a bit concerned of its age and slightly precarious staircase. Once inside, the charm and beautfully appointed artwork puts you at ease. All bedrooms have comfortable beds with soft sheets. We enjoyed the location, you can walk to Zilker Park and if weather permits (not too hot/humid) you could even walk through the park to the downtown area. Lots of restaurants close by. Terry Blacks bbq was enjoyable. It would be nice to see a few things fixed, water damaged floor in kitchen, unsure why there is black contact paper on kitchen wall, toilet paper holder/towel bars could be better secured in primary bathroom, closet doors should be repaired. Nothing that took away from enjoying the property given the age of the home. We'd definitely stay here again!

Graduation
We were in Austin for a graduation. But we did have a little time to enjoy the area. The house was prefect. Plenty of room for everyone. All the necessary supplies. Nice and clean. We enjoyed how it was decorated as well. The area had loads to do within walking distance. Lots of food options as well. If we get a chance to go back to Austin we will definitely stay here again.

Perfect rental for a family wedding
My partner and I, his brother and sister, and his niece and her husband were in Austin for his sons’s wedding at Laguna Gloria. The location was terrific for getting to the wedding venue, the rehearsal dinner and other activities we had planned. The property manager was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. All in all it was a great choice and our whole group enjoyed our stay.

Good Experience
Great location, walk-able to parks, restaurants, bike rental. Great space for a large group. The furniture (couches & end-tables), while visually pleasing was not the most comfortable or functional. Not a deal breaker though, as beds were comfortable. Would stay there again.

Football Weekend in Austin
This property was perfect for our group - 6 adults, all there for a UT game. The house was immaculate and the photos don't do it justice. It is set on a hill surrounded by trees in a lovely, quiet neighborhood and has ample parking for 2-3 vehicles. It is located very close to all the things you want to do in Austin: restaurants, campus, the bat bridge, Zilker Park, etc. We will be returning soon!

Fantastic Home in a Great Location!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house! It was close enough to walk to Barton Springs Pool (which is really cool) and a 5-10 minute ride to almost everywhere else we went. The kitchen with so much natural light was the perfect breakfast spot, and the beds are really comfy! One room has the cutest teepee and would be really fun for a kid. The house looks in person just like it does in pictures. We would definitely stay here again!
