Great house in a great location!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 15, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
Our recent stay in Austin was fantastic, and it was largely due to the great accommodations. We had 8 girls in town for a getaway weekend, and there was plenty of room for all of us. As described, the house was clean, comfortable, and in a prime location--literally one block away from all that bustling South Congress has to offer. We had gone back and forth on what neighborhood to stay in and were definitely happy with our decision to stay in South Congress. It's a very charming area with great food, shops, and people-watching.

The house was spotless when we arrived, and there was even a set of towels and a new bar of soap waiting for each of us. The furniture was all nice, new, and comfortable (the master bedroom even has a tempurpedic mattress). The front and back porches were great for sitting out on and relaxing. The owner, Chad, was very friendly and accommodating. He was always very prompt in his responses and was more than happy to answer any questions we had about our stay. We all arrived at different times, and he made himself available to be there when the first person arrived.

We will definitely be returning to Austin and would love to stay here again.

Spent Easter weekend here with 3 friends for our annual "Mancation," and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. South Congress is basically at your doorstep and 1st St. (and the delectable Elizabeth Street Cafe) is a 5-minute stroll away. The pics don't lie--this property is gorgeous: immaculate interior, spacious living room and kitchen, big back deck. Chad (the owner) even threw in a complimentary 6-pack, a bottle of wine, and snacks as a welcoming gift. If you're going to vacation, do it right--rent here.

Absolutely Darling!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 14, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We had a group of 6 girls (age 29-32) for a bachelorette party. I searched the entire city of Austin for the best house. After all my research, the hood SOCO was the winner and we were not dissapointed. This 3/2 home is in the perfect location and is aboslutely darling!! It starts with a white picket fence and keeps going...white molding, perfect paint colors throughout, white tiled bathrooms, darling furniture, hard wood floors. There is a huge white kitchen with a huge island. Perfect for gathering and chatting with your group, making dinner, giving toasts! Huge deck and yard! We drank coffee every morning sitting on the patio furniture. Space for 6 easily to get ready, watch TV, be in kitchen or be on deck. Only downfall is I wished I had brought my own pillow ( I am a pillow snob ). We walked to Joe's coffee each morning, we walked the two blocks to Perla's restaurant which was fabulous! Oysters and cocktails on their outdoor patio was fantastic! Pizza by the slice after a night out. SOCO and this home has it all! Quick cab ride to downtown for the bars. Walking to the kayak - great location! OH, AND CHAD was sooo helpful and as darling as his home!!!! I only wished the house I was moving into after our trip was as well done!

The Perfect Austin Home (SXSW Stay)

5 of 5
Submitted: March 27, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Our group of 6 stayed here during SXSW and could not have been any happier with the home's convenient location and cleanliness! Chad, the home owner, was beyond accommodating to our needs and responded to all our questions timely. You can count on Chad to make sure that your stay is an exceptional experience. The home is very clean and well kept, we had fresh towels and sheets upon our arrival. The rooms are spacious, with lots of natural light! The location cannot be beat. You can be in the heart of downtown in 5 minutes, but return to a quiet neighborhood where you will not be bothered by noise at night. I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Austin. Our stay could not have been a more pleasant experience all around!

Perfect Austin Vacation Rental

Submitted: March 18, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
The place was perfect for a weekend stay during South by Southwest! Amazing location just one block off of Congress. The owner was extremely accommodating and had parking passes to ensure we always had a spot during the busiest weekend of the year! The house is beautiful with a back porch and hammock that get sun all afternoon and a big open kitchen, dining room and three spacious bedrooms. Everything is brand new and the home is kept very clean. 5 out of 5 Stars!
