Fun but not what I expected

This property is in a great location & fits a large group easily (10 max). I was unaware that the owners of the property lived next door to the rental but they were extremely nice & helpful! Good rental but our group was in and out often. I wished the rental company was better about late check-ins and check-outs. Overall good stay!

Perfect for Family during Graduation

Nice neighborhood and location - close to UT, shopping, parks. Home-like and comfortable. Not luxurious, but we did not need this nor want this (would have been more costly). Shared pool was not an issue since we were sharing with the owners who left us well enough alone. Two cute dogs liked to keep us company at the pool. Would return if we ever needed to.

the most ICONIC stay in Austin!

this property was amazing from start to finish. we were able to check in on time and the place was so clean. the beds are extremely comfortable and they were amazing after a long day exploring. the location was awesome, it was about 10 mins away from any area we went too. the host, john, as very communicative and generous. he let us come early to the pool so we got a full day out there! he even set up the umbrellas and all of the furniture too. he was very nice and gave great recommendations. 10/10!

Bachelor Weekend

The house was a cool relief from the unseasonably warm May weather. We spent a lot of time cooling off in the pool and making friends with the sociable neighbors. All seemed friendly and willing to get to know their temporary neighbors. Location for fun nights out in downtown Austin is essential, cheap and readily available Ubers save a lot of time and money

Nice spot, very strict rules

The house was in a quiet location an easy cab ride from the city - also very walkable to plenty of places. There was no option for early check in or late checkout, even though they had no guests coming in the day we left. There are signs everywhere that you will get charged for any small things you do in the space, yet there are doors that don't fully shut and peeling surfaces in the bathroom. It was still clean, but I was on edge most of the time that I was going to get hit with fees for something.

Worth it just make sure the air is on!

This home was so lovely to stay in, felt like we were staying in an old home that has been renovated so nicely. The kitchen was beautiful as well as the pool, wish we didn't have to have only the 5 strict hours access to the pool. That was a big bummer... Also, when we were checking in the heat was on and it was 98f in the house and that was not refreshing at all. It took the whole evening and night to finally cool the place down. Not fun after coming in from a hot day in the Texas July heat. Just make sure the air is on for the next guest you have coming in... Also, the freezer was not keeping cold. Again when we checked in there was a chunk of ice in the ice cube tray. It was hot and we just wanted to cool down with something cold and refreshing to drink and there was no ice available. We would love to come back as it was a great place over all - it was a great location to all downtown fun!

Great location, dated property

Property location was great, closely located near to downtown ATX. The property itself is dated & could use an update. The furniture showed a lot of use & the interior of the house smelled not the greatest. The layout of the home is 3 bedrooms & narrow hallways (old style 1960’s wooden home). The doors to the bathrooms were just vented closet doors which was a little odd. The interior lighting kept shorting out in different rooms which was a little annoying. The listing shows a pool but it’s actually shared by 3 properties & is not private & it’s located in the next door yard (just an FYI). If you’re looking for privacy this isn’t the property as most common area windows don’t have blinds & the driveway of the home is utilized by the neighbors (owners & other renters). The other thing that i found odd was the number of release forms, renter information requests they required, it was excessive. Anyways, I don’t want to belittle the property but I do want to give more information that might be helpful to others. If I had to visit ATX again I’d look for something newer & just rent a car if it’s further outside of the downtown.

Great potential!

The location of this home is fabulous in terms of proximity to Austin life. As advertised, it sits right next to another occupied home, but the listing could be improved to more honestly represent the proximity of the owner’s residence. The sliding glass door kitchen are directly facing the 3 carport of the owner. The home was well stocked with towels and pantry staples, but the bath soap was filled with water in all 3 bathrooms, there were no hairdryers and no corkscrew for wine - it would really help to have these essentials in stock. There are very clear and strict instructions to guests on noise and gatherings, which we appreciate and respect, however we were disappointed that the same courtesy wasn’t extended to us as guests. Early Saturday morning landscapers pulled up into the drive, completely blocking the entrance and began loudly shoveling gravel. This continued for 2 hours despite reaching the local host to ask that this be stopped. Scheduling mix-ups occur, but once notified, and for the price of this home, would like to see a more timely response to cease this and free up our ability to access the property. Again, this property has great potential with a few modifications.

The house and neighborhood were great! Very easy communication with rental company/ owners. We were hoping to get to use the pool after long and hot 12 hour days of work but it was only allowed to be used between 12-5pm. Also the pool is not directly behind the house but rather separated by a fence in the next yard, so we didn’t want to disturb the neighbors. Wish those parameters had been more clear in the rental description. Overall, it was a good stay in a great part of town.
