The house was great and had plenty of room for 4 guys. It offered easy access to South Congress and a short drive into downtown. Looking forward to staying there again.

Thanksgiving Stay
Overall, the house & location were great. The hospitality & responsiveness of the property management company was quick & efficient. We really enjoyed our stay & would rent this property again. The house was very nice but not sure I would call it "luxury". There were a few small details that may need to be addressed. There are many different light switches & it's confusing at first. Would be great if they were labeled. There is really nowhere to put luggage in the bedrooms so it would be nice to have luggage racks in each of them. The furniture cushions in the screened porch area are old & tired. It was not comfortable to sit for any length of time. The sink in the upstairs guest bath isn't big enough to even wash your face in which was strange. The kitchen isn't well stocked if you are cooking a big meal but I'm sure most guests don't do that. It would be nice to have more than 2 barstools for such a big bar area. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and again, the location & the property management team were 5 star.

Family Time
Our family enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and clean. Good outside area to barbecue. There were a couple of unfortunate things we experienced. First off the microwave had a short in it and did not work very well. We were not able to warm up any food through the evening. They did replace it the next day but we were done cooking by the time it arrived. Also the TV on the porch area did not work. They were not able to repair it and it was the only other TV in the house so it was a bit of an inconvenience to our group. They stated they would get back with us after discussing a way to compensate for lack of these things that were advertised but we never received a response. All in all the property was nice. Maybe would have chosen another property had we known they were only going to have one TV for our large party and per the house rules could not be outside past 10:00 pm.

The house was great and as described. It was perfectly situated within walking distance of South Congress and a quick Uber ride to downtown Austin. 4 couples and 4 bedrooms and everyone was happy. We had a couple of mechanical issues and Walker Luxury Rentals was quick to take care of all.

Almost fabulous
With as many people as we had and with various ages, we needed to use the screened in porch every day. It was so dirty that two of us had to sweep, dust and take the cushions out to beat the dirt out of them. There were ants and two people were bit. Otherwise the home was clean inside.

Just the 10 of us
My husband and I stayed here with five18-20 year olds and three 8 year olds and we had a great time. Our kids brought their friends on this trip:) We walked to the famous Home Slice Pizza on South Congress the first night, enjoyed Barton Springs on the second day, and had a boat party on Lady Bird lake the last night. We had plenty of room for all 10 of us, the big kids stayed up stairs and the littles stayed with my husband and I downstairs. The only thing I would ask is that the trees be trimmed over the driveway and the light switches be labeled. Overall the experience was amazing and we made great memories.

Pleasant stay in Austin
Quiet neighborhood and very pleasant easy access home. Great to walk to restaurants and shops on Congress. Yes, the management company / VRBO should disclose that the home next door is under construction. However, the construction noise was minimal and workers unobtrusive and respectful.

April stay
We were there for my daughter's wedding and was good space for those staying there. The lighting was confusing and not all lights were working well. Kitchen could be better appointed. Realizing we were not there to watch TV, the channel selection was poor for how much the house cost. Minor details, overall liked the house.

Beautiful Home
This home was beautiful and there was plenty of space for us to sleep and lounge around. Kitchen was large and well stocked. The property manager was very generous and allowed us early check in and late check out so we had enough time to decorate and clean. There were good instructions for where things were located. When we come back to town, we will try to book this same home.

a bit of a disconnect
To state first: the house is architecturally interesting and pleasing with the original art work and eclectic interior decor. So many rentals are so sterile and cold in appearance. This home was very refreshing. It was large enough for my family reunion. The location is great, within walking distance of restaurants and parks for the little kids. Having said that, there are some problems, most of which are rooted in the mismatch between a house that states it sleeps fourteen and yet the does not support anywhere near that many. We were a family of 8 adults and 5 young kids....there were only five coffee mugs(!), the dining table was small and had only six chairs and the table itself was metal, very hard and cold and no table cloth or placemats available. There were plenty of towels....but no towel racks in the bathrooms, no place to hang damp towels after showers or have washcloths hanging out after use, which seemed really odd. Several of the closets had supplies stacked in them which gave limited use, particularly the front door closet was so full of boxes of paper goods that we couldn't put our coats in there at all. It would be really helpful if the light switches could be labelled....there are a dizzying array of not very intuitive light switches all over the place. And the two upstairs bedrooms had great beds and mattresses; however the two bedrooms on the main floor each had very not comfortable ones....sagging slump in the middle, poor support, etc. And just of note: I realize that it may not be VBRO or Walker's capacity or responsibility to know but having a major house construction going on literally right next door was very loud and frequently annoying. I probably would have looked for another house had I known of that potential. But I want to be clear, I would wish you to take the mentioned issues as observations that could be improved. The house is lovely, in a great location and we had a wonderful time in Austin!

We were celebrating the holidays in Austin with family and the house was amazing. Our family enjoys walking and the home was perfectly located that we didn’t even rent a car. House was a great layout for 5 adults and 2 kids, more than enough space and the house was very clean and very comfortable Also, mostly everything you could need was provided. I would stay again for sure. Thank you!

We had an amazing long weekend here on an annual friends trip. Most of us had never been to Austin before, and this rental was in such an incredible location for us. Beyond the location, the house was incredibly comfortable and clean for our group of 10, and we enjoyed cooking meals with all of the provided cookware and sitting in the great backyard. 10/10 we would stay here again if we ever came back!
