Super Comfortable Bed and pillows

Well stocked, loved the gas stove, even had a chance to do a load of laundry after getting clothes a bit muddy. Favorite part was the bed and pillows. Slept like a baby.

Family celebration

We stayed at the property for 7 days. We had everything we’re need it for our family. The kitchen and the backyard was my favorite part of the house. Thank you

cute corner lot

Enjoyed our stay! House was clean, provided necessary items needed (linens, blankets, kitchen utensils/cooking ware), comfy backyard setting, and neighborhood appeared to be quiet. (although the downfall was too many cars always parked in the streets) Host was readily available.

Nice for the price

The house seemed newly renovated, everything was really great. Bedding was hotel-like and beds were comfortable. Lots of good pillows too! House was well-stocked with necessities. Some of the dishes were put away dirty, so we had to wash before use. I had some trouble with the pre-check system, but owner was flexible and communicated promptly. Neighborhood was fine and we felt safe.

Great house to provide full service kitchen and space

We stayed here for the Formula 1 race weekend. We arrived on Thursday and checked out on Monday. This house is true to the listing. We had 3 full bedrooms with all the needs for 5 adults. We entered exactly at 4 PM at check-in time. The unit was not available early. Check out was a breeze by 11 AM. The house had all the things needed for us to cook dinners and make breakfast. We appreciated the full laundry (including detergent) and the dishwasher. As always with Austin, the A/C was key also. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with the chairs and relaxing once it cooled off. Overall I would recommend this VRBO again.
