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.

Our family of four enjoyed a great weekend stay in this house. There was plenty of room and the kids loved the tub in the bathroom. Great communication with the owners - we had everything we needed and didn't even contact them during our stay. Great location and beautiful views!

We had a wonderful stay. I love the house. It is colorful and has amazing artwork throughout. It was perfect for our family. We had a great Thanksgiving feast there with some of my daughter's friends. We had just enough room and the large TV was great for watching the UT game. Zilker was very accessible and we spent at great afternoon bike riding and playing football. We would stay there again and highly recommend it.

My family of four (spouse and two young kids) stayed at Kaleido house for a week for an Austin getaway. The location is perfect and given Austin's unfortunate traffic this is no small convenience! The unit is quiet, comfortable, clean and cozy. The decor boasts lots of personality, including gorgeous artwork throughout the unit. The house was also perfectly stocked with coffee makings, bottled water and filtered water, laundry detergent, etc. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom nice and spacious. Just one note that maneuvering the entrance and exit of the tub/shower area is a little tricky but otherwise its a unique spa-zen haven. The family room is very comfortable with plenty of seating and a lovely large television, cable, and a library of DVDs. The WiFi is also complimentary and very much appreciated!
The owners are very professional and extremely attentive. I was contacted during my stay to "check in" and make sure all my needs were met. When I told them the ages of my children they made several offers to provide certain kid-friendly items. Very appreciated!
We will for certain return to Kaleido house when we next visit. It was such a lovely retreat and made our vacation a real joy.
Thank you!

This place was just what I was looking for. Affordable, convenient, clean, comfortable and quiet. Great location - short drive to great music, short walk to food and an even shorter walk to the Barton Springs pool. The springs is a have to do. Our hosts made it feel like we are staying with family (family that we liked). Jay, Peach and Cynthia, thank you very much! You just made the top of the top 10 list of our "Dad and Brothers Golf Trips"

We stayed in this house last year and loved it. It was perfectly located on Zilker Park, and an easy walk to all the restaurants on Barton Springs. The home was immaculate, had everything we needed, and plenty of space. It was decorated with fun bright colors inside and had an incredible deck out front that we enjoyed while reading and drinking coffee in the morning. The owners were very charming and welcoming and we look forward to staying her again.
