Lovely location. Seems like it's in the process of being turned into a rental. Backyard is pretty raw and wine cabinets open and stocked with old wine some of which has spilled and dried. But very clean and pretty and fantastic location. Would stay again!
This home was perfect for our party of 6 with plenty of room to hangout, both inside and out, and sleep. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, and a short walk to South Congress and the river. We would happily stay here again.
What a treasure! 1 mile from downtown and all the comedy clubs & music nightlife. 3-4 blocks away from Lady Bird Lake one direction, and the other direction all the shops & restaurants on Congress St. So lucky to have found. 3 rooms, EACH with their OWN shower/ bath on opposite ends of the house, so MAX privacy (our kids loved it). Master bedroom has own LARGE master shower/ bath. Guest Bedroom 1 has own shower/ bathroom/ bonus study room. Other kid had whole 2nd floor to themselves w shower/ bath/ TV room/ outdoor terrace. What a bargain. This is my spot. Friendly, quiet neighborhood.
Beautiful home and location. Met my kids here for a relaxing weekend and to catch up on life. It’s close to downtown and other shops! The inside of the home was way more than I expect! Great layout with comfortable beds! Decor is great! Enjoyed the whole thing! Would recommend to anyone and we will definitely come back!
The house was clean comfortable and convenient to grocery stores entertainment and restaurants The reason I gave it a 4 is there were no blinds or proper window covering in the bedroom off the kitchen I had to put a sheet on the front window for privacyAll the beds were comfortable the sheets were soft the kitchen was fabulous.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, comfort, and convenience of the home, as well as the comfortable beds, soft sheets, and fabulous kitchen. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the lack of blinds or proper window coverings in the bedroom off the kitchen. We have notified our local team about this, and they will be looking into the issue to ensure a more comfortable stay for future guests. Thank you again for choosing Vacasa, and we hope to host you again soon.
The descriptions of this home were spot on. Located in a quiet neighborhood convenient to parks, shops, and dining, as well as the airport and downtown, I felt we were in the ideal location. The management is attentive and responsive, even though it is corporate. If you have children, you might need to bring your own bedding if you don't want them sleeping in your king-size bed, but the beds are comfortable.
House had so much charm! We loved the layout since we are all adults - lots of privacy with the layout of the bedrooms/bathrooms. Home had everything we needed! Beautiful neighborhood, close to everything! Would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay. Was roomy and close to everything we wanted to do!

Unique wonderful place!
Loved this place! Perfect gathering spot for our family to connect while in town for a memorial service. Kitchen, bathrooms and beds were so nice and spacious! Decor is fun! Wish we had gotten to spend more time at the house and enjoy the ambiance! The location was great and made it easy to drive to the events we were in town for. Highly recommend!!!
Did not meet host, the windows in the smallest bedroom need shades, it’s very light in that room. The address on the outside of the house needs to be illuminated, we had a hard time finding it. Also, it’s dangerous to have to walk around the house to use the back door, dark and uneven walkway.

Great location, plenty of room and lots to enjoy nearby!
The only thing we could not figure out was the upstairs tv. We could not get it to work. The other tvs were very small but we were nit in the house that much during the day so it was ok. House Is gorgeous. Perfect location and tons of room. Will definitely come back.

Spacious property with great location to all Austin has to offer.
The home comfortably accommodated our group of 5. The outdoor space was a plus. Location allowed easy access to shops, cafes and all Austin has to offer.
