This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees.

Summary: Used this property as a base camp for our trip to Austin City Limits. Close to Zilker Park which made getting there and back again easy. Plenty of room for our group including room for 4 cars which in the heart of Austin is relatively rare. House was as described and didn't run into any issues. Would definitely consider renting this property again in the future!

Summary: Austin was a central location to meet for some business meetings. This house was perfect and so cute. Very comfortable and a lot of space for people to not feel crowded. Bathrooms were all beautiful and the dining area was perfect for us to spend the day working. Neighborhood is beautiful and quiet and super close to everything we wanted to do for the evenings. Host was very responsive and always very informative. It’s an older home so you can expect to hear every step taken in the house but I feel like unless you have kids running around it’s just a detail. Beautiful home. Comfy beds and pillows. Great stay and will save it for any future Austin trips.

Summary: Host was very accessible because on our arrival, house was not clean. However, cleaning crew came within the hour and made the place sparkle! We enjoyed the condo and hot tub and loved having our morning coffee on the front porch. Need a car while you’re there but everything in Austin proper is a 15-20 minute drive.

Summary: This was our first time in Texas and we could not have chosen a better place to stay! The pictures did not do the place justice! The place was very spacious and the hot tub was an absolute plus! The host was very accommodating and communicative throughout the process! Cannot recommend enough

Summary: This is a special property with a unique lay-out that well-accommodated our family reunion during Fourth of July week. You cannot beat the location! We had a couple of minor hiccups, and the property manager was extremely responsive in resolving. Loved it and would stay here again!

Summary: Home is in a nice neighborhood centrally located. It is spacious with multiple gathering rooms. Kitchen was equipped with cooking/serving essentials. Poor Host (Ames) communication, lack of professionalism to our emails to prior day stay and day of check-out. Very frustrating and stressful. An hour before check-in we received home instructions and code. We checked in at night... poor outdoor lighting made it difficult to find home (first time Austin guests). Older Home with much potential; home needs lots of TLC as there were broken items such as washer/dryer nobs, curtains, beds were NOT comfortable more so, one of the mattress was concaved, furnishings were in poor state. Upon checkout Housekeeper enters home at 11:15am; I understand we were running a bit over our checkout time of 11:00am. I asked her to give us 15 minutes and we would be out of the house. Minutes later about 5 more housekeepers showed up and began to clean bedrooms and bathrooms first while our group of seven 7 were trying to exit and comb house for any personal belongings that may have been left behind. Two housekeepers walked into my nephew's bedroom stay while he was putting on his pants. Emailed host Ames to NO response; later he contacted me (11:30am) with a very charging attitude, dismissive and stating "its irrelevant". We offered to pay for the 30/45/1hr of overtime at this point trying to explain to 6 housekeepers and host Ames we wasted about 45-50 minutes. BTW - Neighbors were really nice... Bad Experience with Host and Housekeepers Customer Service!
