Kaleidoscopic 2 BR near Zilker Park, 2 miles to downtown!

We loved staying in the Kaleido House! It was the perfect location to visit Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and downtown Austin -- especially all the restaurants we love in Austin. We brought our toddler and were supplied with a high chair and portable crib. The neighborhood was wonderful and the owners were very attentive when we ran out of supplies. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back! We would definitely recommend to anyone traveling with children.

We spent a wonderful Christmas week in this cheerful, large, comfy 1/2 duplex. Everything was fresh and clean and well stocked, just as described. We cooked up a great Christmas Eve dinner for 6 of us and we were happy to find a small grocery store just a couple of blocks away for the things we forgot to get at HEB and Whole Foods!

The location was absolutely perfect for exploring the city. We walked to Zilker Park, Barton Springs and the hike and bike trail EVERY day - and one of us bicycled almost 100 miles total on both sides of Lady Bird Lake while there. We loved being close - but not too close - to our daughter who lives in Travis Heights, a quick and safe bike ride away. Near to lots of restaurants and some great coffee shops as well, although the owners provided us with local organic coffee beans.

We would recommend this rental to anyone wanting a real home away from home. Jay, Cynthia and Peach made it easy to book our stay and gave us lots of information on things to do and made us feel at home. We did not need a thing except nice weather, which obliged until the last day! We highly recommend this rental!

Where to begin? From my first correspondence with the owners I felt comfortable and at ease. There is certainly a plus to dealing with professionals. They provided info on the area before I even arrived.

When my 9 year old daughter and I got there, we were instantly blown away by the place. The photos are accurate...this place is colorful and clean and beautiful. They provided coffee beans and a grinder so I could grind my own coffee...it was a treat! There is a binder filled with area info that we used daily. There were menus, coupons, maps, etc. The owners really did think of everything. Beach towels, filtered water in the fridge, DVD's and games on the bookshelf, an umbrella if it were to rain, bug spray on the porch...it was all there.

We walked to Barton Springs Pool one day, and rode our bikes the next. The location is perfect. We enjoyed our stay so much, we extended it an extra day. I will definitely be back. This place felt like home.

I already miss it. I could have moved in. I would rent this again in a heartbeat. I actually would recommend any of their properties knowing how well they maintained this one and how awesome their communication was. I even received a call the day we checked in to see if we needed anything. Their hospitality was wonderful. I knew if I did need anything or have a question they would be a phone call away.

I also loved the keyless entry...how great to not have to carry keys anywhere. Thank you again, Jay and Cynthia. You have a new renter. I hope to come back every year.

You can tell you put a lot of thought into your decorations, amenities, and paint colors. I will be spreading the word (although the selfish part of me doesn't want anyone to know about my little home away from home so it will always be available when I need it). :)

Thanks again for a great vacation.
