About the host
Hosted by Luiz Simoes
My name is Luiz Simoes and I am originally from Brazil but moved to this wonderful country 27 years ago. After 11 years in Michigan, I decided to leave the cold weather and move to Austin where I became US citizen and I am proud to call it home.
I have 6 kids (32, 29, 26, 15, 15 and 13) and love to be with them as much as I can along with my bull terrier.
Love to cook Brazilian style steaks and seafood, passion for photography and starting to learn woodworking.
I just can't stop learning and working!

Why they chose this property
I have recently added this property at my own VRBO listings, although I have been renting it since I bought it in 2015 along with my wife Amy Simoes through this site. In July 2021 I completely remodeled the swimming pool, decks and added a new hot tub.
My 2 vacation house rentals are next to each other in a 4 acres lot and they are closely managed and maintained by myself. As a matter of fact, I respond to all questions and concerns personally. I am used to travel all over the places and I have high standards for what a rental should include and how it should be presented, so I make sure the properties appear upon your arrival as they are featured on the website. As a matter of fact, we often have guest arrive and claim that it is much better than they imagined.
I want you to feel at home during your stay and I am happy to accommodate special requests, if possible.
Please don't hesitate to let me know how I can make your stay more enjoyable.
I look forward to your visit.
