Very clean and well maintained

We stayed at the house for a few nights to visit family nearby. The backyard is a beautiful retreat. The fenced yard is wonderful if brining your pup to give them a place to wander around. The home is very clean and well maintained. The renovations at the property are very well done We will be back in March and hope to be able to use the pools and outdoor seating areas with the warmer temperatures.

F1 Trip

First time to Austin for F1 race, house is in great location for COTA events, house has plenty of room and additional creature comforts to help relax after a long day. The surrounding neighborhood area leaves something to be desired but it was safe and no problems. Also easy driving distance to downtown Austin and only 15 minutes to airport. Overall great choice for our F1 trip.
