Seamless experience - we had a family wedding with so many moving parts but this home base was perfect. So many things we didnā€™t know we needed were available and accessible - the set up was so nice and comfortable - the swim spa was a huge hit and communications were easy. Thank you so much for making a complicated and special weekend so much easier!!

The hosts were amazing to work with from lead-up to stay and during stay. They are quick to respond and made us feel welcomed even if it was via email/text. Everything was fully furnished and the personal touches were great. Instructions were also crystal clear! Cannot thank them enough for creating a space where not only we can rest but also work out of. Such a great find! Such a great stay and will rebook in future next time our team is back in Austin.

Lovely home & wonderful hosts
Maria & Joe were fabulous hosts. They messaged frequently and offered a ton of information about the local area. They were communicative about the check in process and even responded promptly when I asked a question during our stay. The house is really beautiful and spacious. We had a large group of family in town for a wedding, 11 people, and everyone fit easily and slept comfortably. The home was located in a residential area, but also very close to everywhere we needed to be. South Congress street is walking distance which had a ton of great shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Our overall experience was excellent. The house is spacious and very well maintained. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bedroom-bath layouts worked great. Porch, pool, and outdoor areas were as advertised, but 105 degree heat limited use. Owners are very responsive. Universal thumbs-up from all my family. Plus location worked very well.

We celebrated a bachelorette party in Mariaā€™s home and I cannot express how amazing our trip was! It was the perfect location to downtown and a quick ride to and from the airport. Maria was nice enough to let us drop out bags off early since we landed prior to check in time. The hot tub and sauna were a perfect touch to our relaxation that we all desperately needed. We had plenty of room for all 12 of us girls to sleep comfortably! Thank you for your hospitality Maria, we will definitely be back for another visit!
