Great space for 2 families to stay. Lots of great seating and enough room at both tables, good kitchen.Place could use some TLC and updating, but the beds/beding were clean and comfortable. More than enough towels and use of washer and dryer.Response from the host was immediate and very pleasant.Location was a little strange but close to everything we needed.

We stayed for a week here while in town for a wedding, and had a 14-person group, plus a 4-year-old. The five bathrooms was a big plus and one of the prime motivators for selecting this property, but we spent more time on the back patio than inside! It was the gathering spot. For a group so large, we never felt like we were bumping into each other. The game room area downstairs was a big hit with the 20 yr olds, and we used the coffee maker more than any other appliance. Eventually several of the party even made it into the pool.The 20-minute drive into Austin goes fast, and access to the airport is very easy, nice for the many trips made for various arrivals/departures. The road construction in the front of the property was not an issue, easy to negotiate and you could not hear the traffic while sitting out back.The driveway handled all of our vehicles easily. The Social Club across the highway is an easy walk for a couple of drinks in the evening, and the taxidermy place next door is a great spot for some interesting conversation...they even gifted us some free sausage.Highly recommend.

This home was everything as listed. Plenty of space for the families and a large gathering area with the dining room and living room. The downstairs area was very nice for the kids to hang out and play. Because of the weather change (summer to fall) the water was a little too cold for the kids to get in. The pool looked very inviting anyway and the large backyard was fun. Hopefully the HWY 290 construction will be completed soon.

House was great for our group of 13!! Down-rated because the house is much further from downtown than the radius on the listing implies. In addition to that, there is heavy highway construction by the house. What appeared to be a 15 minute drive downtown, ended up being 35 minutes

Family Wedding in Austin

From the street ( tricky to find due to highway construction) house looks very plain and small. Inside it was amazingly spacious and comfortable. Spacious backyard , nice covered porch. Pool could not use as it needed cleaning& chemicals ( algae). Owner notified immediately, promised to have someone out asap. No one came, even on day of scheduled maintenance. So could not use pool and it was a big reason for choosing this house. Note: no pool furniture around pool and no shade. Some issues with shower plumbing/ hot water in 2 bathrooms but we were able to work around. Other than not being able to use pool, house was plenty comfortable. Roadwork being done ( RT 290) is not currently in front of house, so noise was not an issue. Issues discussed with management and reasonably resolved. Would consider staying here on a future visit if need a place for a number of people to stay.

Overall - this VRBO is perfect for large groups. Everyone had their own space and had no major issues. The pool is huge and was great for our pool day at the end of our stay. The only true negative - surrounding construction made it difficult for us to get Uber/Lyft. They found us eventually, though!

Perfect for large groups!

This property was just what we needed to fit our 9 guests. Bedrooms are large and beds and linens are very comfortable. House was clean and in great shape with multiple large living spaces for our group. The only reason I gave the neighborhood 4 starts was due to construction which it to no fault of the property manager or owner. At the time of our stay the highway was down to one lane which made it hard to get anywhere in a timely manner. Hopefully they will finish the construction soon. Even with this inconvenience, I would stay in this house if needing accommodations for a large group again.

July 4th weekend getaway

The home space and amenities are great for large groups. We thoroughly enjoyed the big pool and amazing backyard. The house itself needs some TLC to make it perfect. All the bathtubs did not drain properly so showering meant standing in a pool of water. Some dead bugs and cobwebs on the inside of windows but nothing that a good cleaning won't take care of. All in all, an enjoyable experience, we will definitely consider booking there again.
