Fabulous!

We had an excellent stay on this property. Lynn and Jerry were very easy to communicate. They helped us get a fan and ice delivered to alleviate issues we had with one of the overhead fans which was amazing. Huge kitchen with plenty of dishes and utensils. Perfect location. Amazing outdoor space with tons of seating. Comfortable beds with plenty of indoor seating as well.

Great weekend away with friends

This house was a perfect oasis for our very fun girl's trip to Austin in late June. After site-seeing all day, we thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail pool and the cozy deck as welcome places to relax. The kitchen and bathrooms are gorgeous and the beds were wonderful. The house is an easy, short car ride from everything fun. Thanks so much for a great place to stay.

Great for a Girls Weekend!!

This property was even better than the pictures! So much space for all of our group to sleep comfortably and to hang out on our one night in. It’s super close to downtown, so catching Ubers to anywhere we needed to be was easy and quick. The hosts were super communicative and helpful throughout the entire stay and even after as we are trying to retrieve a lost item. They was also super helpful with recommendations before our stay as well. Would definitely recommend and stay here again and again for any trips to Austin!

An Austin Hidden Gem!

Property was fabulous overall! We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful home, with plenty of room to entertain with a ton of amenities(coffee station was excellent). It was great to be within a few minutes of all the downtown austin hot spots. We only had some minor confusion at check-in that was a bit frustrating but the hosts Lyn and Jerry were quick to rectify the situation. Would definitely stay again.

Exceeded expectations!

Can a vrbo be spacious and feel cozy at the same time? Can you be close to all the happenings and still feel secluded? Can you feel at home while in new surroundings? Yesss!!. This place was way better than the pictures and the pictures were pretty attractive. We were very comfortable and left wanting for nothing. We didn't want to leave. Would definitely recommend this place. Thank you Lynn and Jerry for providing such a magnificent place to stay.

Cancelled at the last minute

We were unable to stay at this property, as our reservation was cancelled the morning of the confirmed booking. I had not received an access code, so I called VRBO's call center. After 1 1/2 hours on the phone with the call center, I learned that the property owner had not maintained their VRBO calendar and had double booked the property, We were denied access to the property.

Great 3 day trip in Austin

This property is so pretty. Kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed, very clean and updated. It was a quick girls weekend to visit my niece in Austin. It was just the right size for five women. We loved the cocktail pool, big enough to cool off and sit around the sides. The many outside seating areas had great outdoor furniture and the side deck next to the kitchen was convenient to have our coffee in the morning. Our hostess was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.

Good location!

The kitchen was very nice, though it was hard to find things. Both blow up beds lost air during the night and could not be used. There was no closet in the master bedroom and one bedroom closet was full of pillows and blankets. We were here for a wedding and we all needed to hang our clothes. We called the property manager with some questions and never got a return call. The location was very good!

Amazing house!

Seven of us stayed here for my bachelorette. It had 3 bedrooms and a bull out couch and two large bathrooms (which was great for getting ready!). The outside patio area was so nice for hanging out (there was even a fan outside). Lynn and Jerry were very accommodating and we had no issues while at the house. On top of how great the house was itself, we were basically a 5 minute Uber to all of the different restaurant/bar areas. It is very much centrally located. Would highly recommend!

So hard to leave!

This is a great place to spend time. We were here for the Austin marathon. It's in a perfect location - walkable to South Congress and a nearby park and pool. (The pool was a huge thing for us since we are lap swimmers) The outdoor seating area was so cool - It is lit by strings of lights and nice furniture to hang out in. The kitchen had everything we needed, but honestly, we went out to dinner every night. The food in Austin is amazing. The beds were soooooo comfy. Lots of pillows and more than enough blankets. (It was cold that week in Austin) There were 4 of us - 3 sisters and my niece. We had more than enough room. Two bathrooms worked well - tons of towels and a washer and dryer. We couldn't have been happier and we would love to come back.
