A spacious four-bedroom home in a gorgeous neighborhood, our place has a secluded vibe despite being very centrally located.

I think what makes our place great for our guests is how the house is arranged around the back patio area: The living room and two of the four bedrooms open directly on to the outdoor courtyard, and this gives the house both a lot of sunlight and a unique flow. While the space and amenities are obviously ideal for bigger groups, the three separate entrances also allow for quite a bit of privacy or togetherness for your group, or a combination of the two.

Our home also offers a tremendous amount of privacy: From the moment the front door closes behind you, you and your guests have 360 degrees of total privacy. That private experience extends to the backyard/pool area, where a privacy fence extends high enough to block out everything but the Texas sky.
