The Space:
In this peaceful 2-bedroom home south of the city, the quiet, relaxing vacation you’ve been dreaming about is yours to enjoy while placing you within just a few minutes of all the excitement this energetic city offers. As you venture into the city, stop to check out the iconic South Congress neighborhood offering a vibrant stretch of boutiques, music and art venues, food trucks, and restaurants dishing up incredible local fare. Past that, trendy South Lamar is one of Austin’s busiest neighborhoods, offering its own variety of cafés, art galleries, live music, and entertainment. Of course, you’ll want to keep going into downtown where the pulsating music scene and eclectic art installations give life to every street. When retiring back at the home after long days of exploring, there’s no place better than the back yard offering comfortable outdoor seating on the patio and a play structure with slide and swings certain to be a hit with the little ones. Whip up a favorite cocktail or pour a glass of wine and unwind in the fresh air while the sun sets on another perfect vacation day.

Indoors, bright spaces are complimented by stylish furnishings and décor, with enough room for everyone to spread out while finding opportunities to come together and make lasting memories. The living room offers a plush sofa and armchair seating along with a smart TV for keeping up on all of your stream-ready shows. The kitchen is well-equipped for any of your mealtime endeavors, offering full-sized appliances and ample counterspace and cabinetry for preparation and storage. Dine together at the table with seating for 4 or host a fun-filled family game night with backyard views serving as a picturesque backdrop. When you’re feeling the need for a little competition, head into the game room where an air hockey table will provide hours of challenging fun. Should you need to keep up on emails while away, a convenient workspace is also available, allowing you to fully focus on the task at hand.

Just perfect!

This home is cozy and clean! With my son in Austin and us in San Antonio this is a perfect place for us to stay for the weekend! More reasonably priced than many hotels. I’ve already booked it again for November. The management company was wonderful to work with as well, making the check in and check out process easy peasy!

Unsafe, Unclean, and Unkept – Avoid This Property

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this stay was unacceptable. Our experience staying at this property was one of the worst we’ve had through VRBO, and I feel obligated to warn future guests.Right away, the property was clearly not cleaned properly. The shower curtain was covered in mold, the floors were visibly dirty, and we found multiple cockroaches throughout the house. There was no vacuum accessible, and communication about even basic supplies was confusing and inconsistent.But the most alarming part: we found the tip of a hypodermic needle on the floor. That’s a serious health hazard—especially as we were traveling with a toddler. We contacted the management company immediately and requested the home be professionally cleaned.We were told cleaners would arrive between 9–10 AM the next morning, so we left the house to accommodate that. When we returned, nothing had been cleaned. After chasing down updates, we were told the cleaners actually wouldn’t arrive until 3–5 PM. Again, we made an effort to leave. When someone finally showed up at 12:45, our son had just gone down for a nap. We asked the cleaner to return later, but could not make that happen either. All met with unanswered calls, generic apologies and delayed responses. The company offered 75 as “a gesture of goodwill”, half the cleaning fee, which we accepted. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere. This property was not cared for, not clean, and not run with the most basic level of hospitality.

Great little home

We came to Austin to be centrally located for our son’s wedding. The home is comfortable, clean with a great backyard which gets great shade to sit outside.. we had no kids to play on the playground but plenty of run around for our pup.. The wireless is fast and there are enough televisions for all.. we never had time for the air hockey thank you for hosting us, you will be our first choice whenever we return from Michigan..

Family Trip

I had to travel to Austin for work and brought my family along. This home was perfect for my kids and offered lots of activity and places to play. They spent a ton of time playing in the play house, the swing set and the air hockey table. It offered everything we needed.
