Very nice

Its an upstairs unit, it was clean and comfortable. Beautiful area. Well furnished. Kitchen had utensils and dishes, etc... there is a grill on the downstairs unit (I dont know how that one gets rented because it doesnt seem to show up on the VRBO website). Overall, a very nice place and I'm happy that I stayed there.

scam owner

the place was trashed when we arrived as agreed. we were told the owner was living there by the other unit's occupants, but she was not around. we had to find another place during x-mas week - major hassle. owner never replied back to our questions why she did not hold up her end of the deal.

Treehouse Apartment

The views from this apartment and the large deck are wonderful. This was a great little hideaway, but still close in, for our Austin hiking and swimming getaway. Jackie responded quickly and kindly allowed us to show up a little early.

Overnight with the dogs

After a day at Red Bud Isle and Zilker Park, this retreat tucked away in the westlake highlands was fantastic. Your own hill country oasis surrounds you for your dogs to hike and for you to enjoy on your private balcony with beautiful views. Appointments within are exceptional with a 4 poster queen in one room and a queen sleigh in the other. Everything you need to settle in and relax including some well stocked sundries and pantry items. HEB is only 15 minutes away for your shopping needs. Free WiFi and a smart tv loaded with streaming apps for entertainment and a washer and dryer in the carport area. Fantastic property!

Awesome Condo in a beautiful neighborhood

Jackie was an awesome host and gave us amazing recommendations on Mexican restaurants in the area. The condo was absolutely perfect, in a beautiful part of Austin and very close to lots of activities and the sights. I absolutely recommend this condo to anyone interested in visiting Austin and I will most definitely try and stay here again next year!
