About the host
Hosted by 773 230 5449
I have been living in Austin for twelve years ever since I purchased my dream home here on Balboa. I play music in Austin along with teaching tennis. I love my home and took pride and care with every improvement I've made since living here. I started hosting guests here three years ago on a rival site and it has been such a positive experience I decided to broaden my exposure and get on Home Away. I have had so many great guests here and to share my home is a pleasure.
I just ask that you please treat it as your own with respect while you stay here.

Why they chose this property
The hammock, two swings under the oaks, the hot tub, the deer passing by, the peacefulness, close to the city, shopping at Hill Country Galleria Mall, The gorgeous Hill Country nearby and more….It is awesome here…I love and you will love also!
Oh I forgot….Austin!!
Oh I forgot….Austin!!
What makes this property unique
I know your going to want and explore all that Austin has to offer and my home is only twenty minutes from the night life of downtown and a stones throw from The Hill Country (actually we are on the fringes of The Hill Country technically)
Lake Austin and Commons Ford Park (for hiking) are a mile or so away. Venture out to Zilker Park, Mount Bonnell, Wimberley, The Oasis, and Hamilton Pool. Old Fredericksburg is about an hour away if you want to do a day trip. There is so much to do in Austin the tricky part is picking!
Got the munchies? Try out the local taste of Austin Pizza at The 263 walking distance just down the road. The Hill Country Galleria walking mall with all it's shops is located only five miles away. There you will find many restaurants, bars, a movie theater, Starbucks, retail stores, Whole Foods, Austin's favorite Maudie's and our own great supermarket HEB. Rosie's is just down the road from the mall on Highways 71 for a taste of old Tex Mex.
