Everything about our stay was amazing. The hosts were great and had clear communication, the pool was beautiful, the inside of the house was beautiful. Everything was super clean. This has been my favorite short term rental so far. The only thing I wish the house had was exhaust fans in bathroom for when showering because it steams up pretty bad and some more frying pans preferably bigger ones but that’s just me being nit picky. Absolutely great place and would stay here over and over again.

Great place, a short walk to Georgetown centre

Stayed here with my family for 5 days on a trip to Texas. Great for small families, the kitchen is well equipped and the rooms are comfy. The swimming pool is the big selling point, great to get out of that humidity!

Spring Vacation

Great property. Nice and quiet neighborhood. House was in great shape, with it pretty much furnished from Ikea. Back yard was spacious, and it was nice having the pool. Justin always reached out to let us know if the pool was to be clean or the yardwork was going to be done. Would highly recommend if you are looking for something close enough to Austin, but far enough away from the chaos of the city.

My son and his finance had a conference in Austin so we decided to all meet for after it was over. I drove in from Houston and my oldest son flew in from Connecticut. Loved, loved, loved it! We were in the pool everyday! Would recommend to everyone!

Georgetown’s Jewel

The pictures of the property were completely accurate. The house is beautiful and well maintained. There are plenty of sheets and towels and the kitchen has all you would need. The location is absolutely perfect as it is near to the town square and close enough to the major highways. When it is time to chill, the wi-fi is wonderful and the TV has plenty of viewing options. The pool is beautiful as well as the entire backyard; I only wish it was a little warmer so I could take a dip. Justin is an absolute pleasure to interface with; very attentive…

Perfection!

Super cute house, exactly as pictured. Loved that it was in downtown Georgetown, great boutique shopping and restaurants, a 3 minute drive away. Plenty of parking downtown as well. We were so lucky to rent on an 80 degree weekend in Feb and the host was kind enough to heat the pool to a perfect 85, the kids loved it! There were yard games, board games, coffee pods, toilet paper, trash bags and even cleaning supplies, all plentifully provided. The room with two twins is a day bed with trundle. This room exits to the beautiful back yard and has its own full bath. The other two rooms share the other full communal bathroom. The beds and pillows were all very comfortable. I was also surprised to find the couch was a sleeper (maybe I missed this in the description) and it was very comfortable! My only not favorite thing, which would not prevent me from returning, was that the shower pressure in both bathrooms was very low. We had 5 women and teen girls with long hair and it proved to be a bit of a challenge to fully wash out our hair. I would recommend this place 100% everything was excellent! Huge thanks!

The house is even better than the description. The inside is decorated nicely. It was very clean, and had everything we needed. The pool is fantastic. Perfect for a girls trip. The cornhole and connect four was great. It is in a quiet neighborhood. Its very close to downtown - 3 to 5 min drive to the square. We will definitely book again.
