Fantastic location and comfortable guest home
This 2 bedroom guest home is just lovely - the inside is very clean and the kitchen and living area open and spacious. The outdoor porches are great too.
The location is fantastic - its proximity to South Congress is wonderful. The neighborhood itself it quiet and quaint.
Great location for South Congress! Home is well decorated and has high end appliances. Enjoyed the vibe of the home and Austin.

Edge of S Congress
Location was great. One block from the south end of the shopping district. Quiet neighborhood. House was clean and everything worked. For 3-4 people it would be a place I would rent again.

Great location
Great and convenient location. One block from South Congress. Great kitchen, living room, and master bedroom. Manager was very responsive. The Guest room needs some TLC. The elliptical needs to be removed, it takes up too much room to get around the bed. The queen bed is 3 feet off the ground and squeaks every time you move, it needs to be replaced. The trundle bed is too small for an average sized adult, it's a child's bed.
Master sinks and guest bathtub clogged when we arrived. Weren’t taken care for a day and a half. Our total stay was 4 days. Access to home a little tricky. TV difficult to use for my husband and I. Thank goodness our children were there to help us. Otherwise it’s a pretty home in a quiet neighborhood with a good location.
Location was blocks away from South Congress with shops and restaurants within walking distance. House was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the back deck and fire pit.
The house was spacious, light filled, in a great location, and very clean. The kitchen is well appointed. The king bed firmness was adjustable and therefore pretty comfortable for someone like us with specific needs. The queen bed seemed uncomfortable, but luckily we didn't need it. We were discouraged trying to get in because we were provided with an incorrect key code but Vacasa customer service helped clear that up right away, even as it happened to be Christmas Eve. I am sensitive to fragrance and found this home did not bother my allergies. I was glad to find that the linens are washed without fragrance and there is no air freshener in the home.

Good for 2 couples
Please remove the eliptical machine from the bedroom, not enough space. Trundbed is for a child, even though I specifically asked if it was a twin size and they told me yes. It is wide, but very short.
The house is lovely and has an amazing location. Can't go wrong!

Great month-long stay
I was lucky enough to stay in this home for a month. The location is superb. The features in the home give you everything you need and lots of creature comforts, plus a big backyard area as well. Now if only I could live there permanently!
Property was awesome. Great location, and really clean. All new appliances.

Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful house in a great location, just steps from some great restaurants and shops. One bedroom was a little outdated but the rest of the house was all completely new. Gorgeous backyard with fire pit and all new kitchen appliances. I think sleeping 5 would have been uncomfortable but fit 4 perfectly.
Check in was easy with the access code, the home is even better than pictured indoors & out, and the location can’t be beat! My group of 4 had a wonderful stay and it was so easy to walk a block to SoCo for meals and access to the lake. This home is by far my most favorite stay to date on SoCo. I will be booking here the next time I come back to town!
Property location was superb close to restaurants and shops. Living and outdoor space was great and kitchen top notch. Wish the bedrooms were bigger as it was tight for 5 people. Would stay here again!
Great Austin spot - quiet street and so close to South Congress!
The house was super clean and well equipped. Great kitchen and bathrooms. We loved the location - so walkable to South Congress and on a quiet street. Beautiful back deck and yard too.
We'd definitely stay there again.
