Wonderful property in an amazing location. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shopping. Kids loved the pool, ping pong table, and corn hole! Fun house with all sorts of room. Definitely would recommend!
Very happy with our stay at Austin Oasis. The location was very convenient for us - not far from UT Austin and many restaurants. The property was spacious, very clean and was extremely well stocked. Definitely a great stay!
Great spot to hang with your friends. With the pool and activities outside it made it easy to enjoy a day at the house. Location is a short ride to downtown and plenty of other areas. Everyone had a great stay!
location was 10/10 and checkin was super smooth. Chris is an attentive and thoughtful host and i would recommend this house to anyone, especially a bachelor/bachelorette party.
Great little house, walkable to basics shops and restaurants but close to just about everything in Austin. Held 15 for dinners easily inside and outside, fun amenities, well appointed. Hallway bedroom gets a lot of noise but the upstairs suite has a kitchenette and great as a separate space for a family with kids.
This location is ideal for small or even larger groups.
Plenty of bedrooms and space.
The highlight is definitely the backyard. Perfect for entertaining with a pool, table tennis, cornhole, a putting green, and more.
The location is great to walk to restaurants and bars near the school and not too far from Congress.
Would definitely stay there again.
We needed to book a house for a Bachelor Party last second, and Chris was very helpful and accomodating. Some folks arrived early, and Chris helped us with an early check in process. Excellent stay.
Property is very nicely kept and has everything you need to take advantage of its many amenities. Nice location close to downtown and "old" Austin and UT. The only short coming is there is limited closet space for hangings clothes. We would definitely stay at this location again. Property manager is very responsive.
Chris’ house is amazing for groups visiting Austin. The house has character with nice updates and plenty of space! We loved the backyard and pool. Thanks to Chris for being flexible with our booking, changing some plans he had. Highly recommend!
5 star stay :) Amazing property! A place of serenity for a family getaway. The tennis table was a huge hit! Fun games & pool - the full package. Close to central and downtown for activities. Plenty of space, privacy and well stocked items. Nice neighborhood. It is Austin’s hidden treasure - We would stay again!
The overall property was great! The backyard was great and had lots of different things to do (cornhole, a small put put, a pool, table tennis). The area is close to campus so you have access to lots of different great food spots. Also, the house is stocked with so many different things (everything from beach towels, regular towels, and sunscreen to poker chips, a guide to the property, Blu-ray player, etc.).

Thank you for choosing to stay at our Oasis! Glad your family enjoyed the stay and hope to see you again! - Chris & Rose
We were at Chris’ property for my bachelor party and it was the perfect house and location for a big group. Tons to do in the neighborhood, but it was also a blast hanging out in the amazing backyard. Chris was great at communicating. Overall a 10/10 experience.
House was lovely. Everything was very clean. Lots of beds to accommodate all the guests. Super quiet neighborhood despite being just a few blocks from Guadalupe (the main drag for college kids). Very close to university and downtown. Very convenient for Austin City Limits festival. Just wish we had had more time to enjoy the pool, ping pong table, and relaxing back patio.
