22 Reviews of Property 906883 in Austin, Texas

The house is amazing - huge yet cozy, eclectic with cool furnishings and decorations, and great outdoor space. Almost every bedroom has a patio and the master bedroom/bathroom is incredible. Easily the best priced house on VRBO in this size/quality.
Lucy (the owner) was very friendly, easy to work with, and flexible on when we left - I booked short notice and she was very accommodating.
She has many more pictures than posted online (there's a limit to what she can post) so ask her for the album.
There's a nearby grocery store and County Line BBQ is a stone's throw away, some of the best bbq in TX.
Looking forward to coming back!

Exceeded our expectations! A small group of employees from our native wildflower & prairie grass seed farm come to Austin twice per year to help with a fundraiser at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center. In the past we have always stayed at hotels and don't get much sleep due to all the city lights and noises. It was wonderful to have our own space and we all enjoyed the gardens and trail down to the creek. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to make our own meals. Saturday evening we even invited a few friends for dinner and used the outdoor grill. Very clean and price was only a little more than a hotel but a million times better experience. Our staff hopes to be able to rent the house every time we come to Austin for the big native plant sale! Thanks to Lucy for all she has done to keep up the beautiful house - I'm sure it is a lot of work to maintain as it's a hidden palace. Hope to come back soon!

We had high expectations on the amenities and the place exceeded them! The layout of the entire place was perfect for our group. We were in Austin for a family wedding and New Year's Eve. The location could not have been better. Easy access to a number of spots in and around Austin as well as easy directions for our family to find it. The open concept between the kitchen, dining table, breakfast table and living room with the big screen TV for the college bowl games was very nice. The kitchen is spacious and contained all of the gadgets we needed to feel right at home. We also used the outdoor grill for two of our meals. Speaking of the outdoors, each patio (yes, there are multiple patios) has comfortable seating with spectacular views of the canyon. The beds in each of the bedrooms were very comfortable, and we had plenty of privacy because each bedroom had its own bath. Additionally, the privacy of the casita just steps away from the main house could not have been better to accomodate our group. The pictures of the master bath on the website do not do it justice. It is spectacular! Domed ceilings, incredible views of the canyon while maintaining privacy, infinity jetted tub, and a separate shower with multiple shower-heads give you the feeling of being at a secluded spa! We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners and visiting with them. They are wonderful, very accomodating people and very accessible to us to answer any questions we had during our visit. If you are looking for a spacious, warm, "feels like home" kind of place in Austin, I would encourage you to stay at this house. Since we live in Houston, I know that we will stay there in the near future!

Lucy and Doug were the perfect hosts as they opened their magnificent Tuscan home to our family of eight, as we gathered in Austin to celebrate Thanksgiving and the wedding of our oldest son.

It was the perfect house for entertaining, relaxing, taking nature walks; and yet you are located in the perhaps the most desirable zip code in Austin. Restaurants, grocery stores and The Barton Springs Mall are only five minutes away.

Our adult children have voted to come back again next Thanksgiving. It was definitely one of the most creative and architecturally unique homes we've ever rented. If you are looking for luxury at an affordable price, you will love Adriatic Serenity.

Thank you Lucy and Doug for our wonderful week's retreat to your beautiful home! The wedding was beautiful and all went well!

our accomidations were outstanding. The house was very comfortable and met our needs for four couples. House was loctaed 10 minutes fron downtown Austin and was near many very good resturants. The owner lived close by and was there to open the home up for us. We needd one queen bed to be changed out to a king bed and the owner took care of that request immediately. I would recommend this house to anyone wishing to rent in Austin.

Adriatico is an beautifully unique home architecturally. My family of 12 and our 2 pups enjoyed a pleasant weekend stay for our sister's wedding. We were a short 2 miles from the venue making the home incredibly convenient (especially for those unfamiliar with Austin streets).

The photos are accurate (some furniture/linens have been updated). The property is quiet and relaxing with plenty of space to spread out indoors and out. The rooms are large and private. The master "wing" is out of this world with expansive glass wall views of the creek valley and hillside. Overall the property was well maintained. We encountered a few bugs (all dead) but nothing out of the ordinary considering the wooded environs.

There are several shopping areas nearby and a grocery store less than 2 miles around the corner if you need supplies.

Two items of note, the entrance to the property can be a challenge to navigate for the less than spritely or vehicles that are low to the ground as there is a relatively steep grade down to the covered parking area. You'll want to park up on the cul-de-sac in this case. The interior is all tiled floors with a number of steps up/down between rooms and in the common areas. Make sure to leave lights on in the evening so you don't trip accidently in the night. Some items to consider if you have party members with mobility issues as we did.

Lucy was prompt to answer questions via email when reserving the property and my deposit was returned 48hours after our departure. Thank you to Lucy & Douglas for sharing their home with us.

A group of us were there for work for several weeks. Lucy did everything to make us feel welcome and as if we were family, not just renters. She took the time to take us on the most amazing hike on the very first day. The grounds make you feel as though you are in beautiful park. The house is comfortable, roomy and very unique. Every room deserves a complete exploration and the beds are so comfortable. Leaving this house and Lucys' company was so hard! I wish I could stay there forever!
