We had a great vacation in Austin!! This property was great — as advertised and a really nice layout for our group of two families to spread out. The pool and backyard are fantastic, super relaxing and plenty of sunshine to enjoy. The outdoor grill was nice, we enjoyed dinners in every evening and found the kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. The property manager was REALLY RESPONSIVE with everything we needed, they fixed an AC issue within 15 minutes of my call. We had a great stay and really enjoyed the home.
