Absolutely perfect place for a group

5 of 5
Submitted: November 15, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
Everything was listed on the website, and not even to the full extent. We were overwhelmed by the awesomeness of this house! The pool table was set up and clean, kitchen was well stocked, bathrooms had everything we needed. We were greeted at the door with a brief rundown with keys and such, and got a good/quick tour of all that was there.

The house was very clean, tidy, and organized. I would recommend this place to anyone, perfect for a 10+ group as well! We had a full house, and it still seemed spacious. The living room has a great TV and a L-couch that will seat plenty.

Also, just a 20 minute walk to/from 6th... hard to beat that. A taxi took us there in 5 minutes, if thats a route someone wants to take.

This place is literally 1 minute off I-35, super easy to get in and out of. We had some extra cars, and street parking wasn't a problem at all. Everyone was able to park very close to the front (those that weren't in the garage)

Check this place out, you won't be disappointed.

Great house, Great Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: May 9, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
Chose this house for its location and the fact that there were actually beds for each member of our party. Most places that say they sleep 8 include 2 per king/queen bed, so there may be 3 beds and 2 pull outs or something like that. Not here. There are 8 seperate beds. There are not as many bathrooms as 4 of the beds did not have bathrooms in the bedrooms so you have to share, but that was not a big deal for us.

The owner is concerned about noise and complaining neighbors which again for us was not a problem, but if you want to have a big loud party or if you are going to have a bunch of drunk people coming back to the house late at night, then this is not the place.

Everything was clean, cable tv worked well, comfy couches, great pool table.There is a stereo, but a an ipod dock would be nice.

Really enjoyed the stay and would consider staying here again.

Overpriced

2 of 5
Submitted: April 15, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
I stayed here with a few of my close friends. The house itself leave something to be desired, considering the price. No bathroom in the upstairs master-bedroom was confusing and inconvenient. Carpets were a little worse for the wear. I must have stepped on the nails protruding from the carpet/tile interface a dozen times in my bare feet. Ouch!! Hot tub was mentioned in our contract, but was empty on arrival. Pair these complaints with the ridiculous check-out policy ($25 for each plate left out, $25 if linens not in a SINGLE pile, per floor, etc) and you really aren't getting your money's worth here.

Pro's: decent location, ample parking, lots of beds, good sized kitchen.

Overall, not terribly satisfied and considering the numerous other properties available in Austin, I'd likely NOT recommend this to friends.
Recommended for:  Age 55+
Owner's Response: We are sorry that you feel that this home left something to be desired for you & your friends. We have many guests in this home & while we know it isn’t the perfect fit for everyone, we have never received complaints about the items that you mentioned.

We are confused that you stated there is no bathroom in the master bedroom since it has an attached bath. The master bedroom is located upstairs with a king size bed and the connecting bath includes a large glass shower.

We are sorry that you stepped on nails while walking on the carpet. This is not a complaint that we have ever had & if it had been brought to our attention we would have been more than happy to come by & take care of this problem immediately.

We do not advertise the home as having a hot tub. We do apologize if there was some sort of miscommunication about a hot tub included with your rental. Had you contacted our office by phone or email during your stay we could have explained that the rental of the home did not include the hot tub.

As sorry as we are to hear you did not enjoy the home, we feel that this review was written as retaliation from us having to address the noise complaints brought on by you & your guest’s actions during your stay. While we want to make sure that our guests enjoy the home, we simply cannot allow their enjoyment, be at the expense of the area neighbors. We do feel that we were more than fair to in handling the complaints we received. The contract that you signed and agreed to details our noise policy & it is our policy to evict guests if we receive noise complaints about the guests in the home. When the neighboring houses were disturbed by you & your guests in the middle of the night, we contacted you & reminded you about our policy. We did not evict you from the home, charge a violation fee, nor did we retain your deposit. In fact, we issued a full deposit refund to you.

We ask that all of our guests contact our office at any time during their stay if they have questions about the home or if there are any problems that need to be addressed. If a guest does not contact us to inquire about something or report an issue, then it makes it difficult to ensure that our guests enjoy their time in our homes. We really wish that we would have had the opportunity to address your questions & concerns while you were staying in the home so that we could have helped make your time in Austin more enjoyable.

Great Stay!

If you're looking for a great stay in Ausin, this is the place. This is a great property in a nice, quiet neighboorhood. Close to downtown with access to running, biking, great restaurants and shopping. It's a great, private place to relax. The property is beautiful inside and out.

The house itself is roomy and comfortable with plenty of amenities. Our family group of seven had plenty of room and privacy. The property was clean, well-maintained, and exceeded expectations. My group and I would certainly recommend the property to others. I will certainly consider the property when staying in Austin in the future. AAA property!

Great location and comfortable home

The house is very comfortable and great for a group given that there are 5 bedrooms. While the house is tucked in a nice neighborhood, it is still very close to all of the stores and restaurants on Congress Ave as well as a very very short trip downtown. Loved it!

Perfect Stay in Austin

5 of 5
Submitted: January 3, 2012 Stayed: December 2011
We had a group of 11 coming in to celebrate a wedding, so we wanted a home to stay in rather than a hotel. In reading the reviews online and viewing the pictures I felt this would be a great place to stay, and I was not mistaken...but it was even better than advertised.

We arrived to find the home immaculate, with everything you could want including some cocktails that previous renters had left behind. The hot tub was great for the cool evenings, and we played quite a few games of pool as we relaxed in the great room and watched bowl games on the big screen. Kitchen was big and bright, and the beds were all comfy. The location is close to just about anything you would need, and we even walked to the Capitol building.

David was excellent to work with, his service was above reproach and I would gladly stay at one of his properties again.

Perfect House

5 of 5
Submitted: December 5, 2011 Stayed: December 2011
I only have very positive things to say about this house! We had 9 people staying for my birthday party with some flying and some driving to Austin. The taxi from the airport to the house was only $25 for 2 girls! Also, a taxi to go out on 6th street was only $6. Awesome location, we quickly drove to South Congress for shopping, I-35 is one mile away, 6th St is one mile away, etc! The weather was pretty miserable so we spent quite a bit of time in the large, very comfortable living area. Would absolutely recommend the house for large groups.

50th Birthday

5 of 5
Submitted: November 7, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
We had a group of 5 guys getting together to celebrate my 50th birthday and to go to the Texas Tech VS. Texas football game. The house was better than described in the pictures. The location was awesome, being so close to downtown, Zilker Park and other interesting places. We had more than enough room to spread out and have separate sleeping areas. The house was well stocked as it serves for living quarters for the owner occasionally. Big central area to get together in the Living room and kitchen and the Master suite was a joy on its own. Thanks David for sharing.

Our new Austin favorite

5 of 5

The house and location make this our new Austin favorite. The balconies allowed a little quiet respite for those who wanted it, but the family theater in the round (front room couch) was the premier feature. A small park nearby was perfect for the grand-kids. David is a gracious host and very easy to work with. Thanks for the carryover on the kitchen supplies!

Loved this house! I had a combined bachelorette/bachelor party here and had an amazing time! The house was stocked with drinks and snacks. The place was immaculate! This place is great for parties or families, it's located in a quiet area and love that it's only 1 mile from downtown. David made himself available to answer all questions and provided us with information for a taxi service and local restaurants to visit while in Austin. We're definitely thinking about booking another trip. David was a great host and everything went very smoothly!
