About Amanda Cribbs

I've been a licensed Realtor in Austin, TX for 11 years, and I manage several of my own rental properties. When we're on vacation we love staying in vacation rentals and bed & breakfasts, and enjoy operating our own vacation rentals!

Amanda Cribbs purchased this house in 2012
Why Amanda Cribbs chose Austin

Developers were getting ready to tear down this home, but I just couldn't see it go! We moved it to its new home (yes, we moved the entire house!), and then renovated it into this gorgeous vacation rental.

What makes this house unique

A 1930's Craftsman home updated to 2012 amenities! It's an easy walk to many restaurants but the home is still tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.

Love the location

We stayed here as part of our search for where to buy a home in Austin. We really love the area and this is one of our top contenders! It's a residential area but close to downtown, so the houses are older but this one has been redone beautifully. I love that you see everyone taking walks in the morning and evening!

We hoped on the light rail to grab dinner next to the convention center. Super easy and tons of fun!

The house itself is gorgeous. The owners were finishing up some landscaping work when we arrived (beautiful plants by the way!) and they shared with us the very interesting history about the house. To make a long story short, it's a 80 year old home they saved from demolition and renovated from top to bottom. It looks like a brand new home, but there are little touches here and there that show the original charm that you just don't see in houses these days.

Business trip

Submitted: February 6, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
I normally stay in a hotel when I'm in town on business. This trip I had a business partner traveling with me. Instead of renting 2 rooms, we decided to try a house. This was easily the most comfortable accomodations I've had in a long time. This is something we will do again. You have a fantasitc home.

My Review

5 of 5
Submitted: February 4, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Excellent location for us because of proximity to our family. Very cute house set back on owner's property. Everything you need is there - well thought out. Great to have washer/dryer, back porch and outside sitting area, bedroom ceiling fans, even magazines and movies to watch. If you are looking for a quiet neighborhood rental, you can't go wrong with this one but you will need a car to get around.
