Fishing Tournament

This Briarcliff home provided a great place for our needs in attending a two day highschool fishing tournament held at Pace Bend Park. Its proximity to the park was perfect. The owner cares deeply to make sure your stay is as good as it can be. The home is very clean and was great for our group of 6.

We had a wonderful time at this property, which perfectly fit our needs. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. The property is pet friendly, which is why we selected it. The house is close to the marina, and a local restaurant. It is also just a few miles from Pace Bend Park where you can drive right up to the water and swim. We would definitely book again.

Awesome weekend nead Pace Bend Park

We were in town for the Otillo Swim Run Austin event and booked this home as it was very convenient to the venue. The owner was super communicative and friendly, the house was immaculate and comfortable. It was way nicer than the online description (more spacious, primarily) and we felt so at home! A welcome basket was so thoughtful and we could not have had a nicer place to relax before and after our event. We'll be back here for future races for sure!!

Great place -- would stay here again

We had a great weekend at this property. Very clean and nice details. I liked the fact the appliances were modern and they provided a Keurig w/ pods. The location was also great -- lots of interesting places near by and you can easily walk to the lighthouse restaurant/bar (good happy hour too). In short we had a very relaxed weekend and already miss it. Rent with confidence.

Quiet neighborhood and great communication

We traveled here to witness the 2024 eclipse. We did not travel outside the house much to avoid crowds and delays that happened with that event. The house is well maintained and cleaned. We liked the location and there is a lovely playground and walking trail very close to the house which my kids loved. There is plenty of space for everyone in the house and a nice sized yard. The host is great with communication and gives a lot of suggestions for local destinations. She was texting with me weeks before the trip and gave great instructions.

Family Friendly!

The property was quiet, very clean, and well stocked. It was close to a number of things to do and Jill, the property contact person, was wonderful. She had great suggestions for entertainment and was prompt with instructions on check in and check out. She even found our youngest grandaughter's missing stuffed bear and is mailing it back to us!! Kudos Jill, you went above and beyond to ensure we had a good visit with family. There were several deer that came by each day. The decks were fun for the grandkids and were surrouned by a railing that kept them safe. We had six grandkids and four adults staying there and there was plenty of room, enough towels and hot water for everyone to shower and the kitchen was well stocked. The house as a whole was very clean and the bathrooms were spotless. Thanks Jill for all your efforts to think of the small things and to make us feel welcome!
