Comfortable bungalow

This property was comfortable for my parents and me. We were in Austin for my mom's hospital stay and follow-up doctor's appointment. The property is all one level and very accessible. The outdoor space is really inviting, and the beds are comfortable. Having items like trash bags, paper towels, and dish soap in the kitchen were very helpful. The location made for an easy drive to the medical center. My only criticism is the bungalow needs to be deep-cleaned (e.g. return air vent is very dusty, leaves & dirt under furniture, crumbs on couches, etc.).

Overall place was great, location, layout, décor really really nice. The property however was not as clean as it should have been. The sofa sleeper had some pretty significant stains on the mattress the area under the sofa sleeper was loaded with dirt, hair, food pretty gross.

Solved the Crisis!

My husband was in Austin to care for his elderly mother (and sister's dog) while sister was traveling. During the record heatwave the A/C quit (for good) in their house. We rented the Oak Grove Bungalow as an escape from the 90+ degrees in the house. Mgt arranged for check-in early next day and took excellent care of them while there. It was an oasis of calm and cool while a whole new A/C system was installed at the house. Beds were comfy, furniture in good shape, well-stocked kitchen, nice area to walk dog. Very much enjoyed this safehaven.

Great location but some minor issues

We loved the location and size of this VRBO for our stay in Texas! However, we had some minor issues that were frustrating to experience such as wifi/service issues and the check in process. We did not have wifi or service for two days during our trip and our early check in (that we paid a fee for) was not communicated to the cleaning staff. We were already in the home when they came to clean and left a bunch of towels and sheets in the dryer before they left. It added some stressors to a weekend that we didn't need, but overall the property was very nice, had a great central location and was a good size for a group of 5.

A good stay, but likely won't stay in this area again

PRO: The house was very clean, easy check in/out, communicative Mgmt when needed, comfy beds, good water pressure/heat, well-supplied kitchen, cool outdoor area, good AC/heat, reasonable rules/regs. CON: The East Austin area in general - but especially parts including this neighborhood & street - is still very much being regentrified and has plenty of sketchy spots/houses. We're city people, not paranoid or skittish... but overall, we just didn't feel 100% safe. No knock on this exact rental, but until this area gets a little safer, future visits we'll stay in a different part of Austin and just visit East 6th/7th.

Great setup

Plenty of space with a comfortable layout between the kitchen and living area. We hosted my son and his girlfriend for dinner multiple times during our stay. Austin was experiencing a deep-freeze but we remained cozy and warm without any problems. The grill is actually a chamber smoker. It was not what I expected but I just changed gears with a little help from some hardwood chunks purchased at the local H-E-B and we had some wonderful smoked pork chops. The first night was warm enough to use the fire pit and front patio, the setup was perfect for four to sit around the fire. I will look to rent this place again when I return to Austin.

Wonderful Getaway Spot

Booked this last minute for an impromptu family trip that consisted of 6 people and a pet. Booking was super convenient and communication was almost instant. Any minor issues were promptly resolved and the hosts checked in each day to make sure our stay was comfortable. The property itself was WONDERFUL. Ample room for the entire family (child and pet included) and they were able to arrange an early booking last minute (additional charge). Layout/furniture allowed for family/group gathering. House was fully functional and in great condition. Very lovely. We are excited to book the property again on our next trip! They also have an airstream (additional charge) which is so cool in case more room or privacy is needed for the bigger groups! The amenities were as promised, a working bbq pit, fire pit, privacy fence, bikes and location was prime. Plenty of great eating and drinking spots around town. Overall great experience!

Hey Krisstina! Thank you so much for your 5 STAR review! We love to hear our guests had everything they needed and enjoyed their stay. Our team works hard to add those little unique things so our guests will not have to want anything. You can relax outside by the fire pit, slow-cook authentic Texas barbecue on the wood-smoker grill wood-smoker grill, and hammock where you can sway in the shade of the big oak trees. And yes, there is an Airstream available if your party needs the extra room. Just message us to see how you can have that added on! Your comfort and relaxation is our ultimate goal, and we hope that we are able to host you again soon!

Airstream/Bungolow Stay

It is as advertised, "Bungalow" a bit on the smallish side. The location was good but definitely need a car to get around town. There had been some resent storms so the yard and Air-stream deck was messy and not cleaned up. Kitchen was very well appointed, were able to make meals for 6 or7 people no problem. Nice master bedroom and on suite w/ shower. We paid the extra $150.00 for the Air Stream trailer nice inside but kind of felt a little uneasy in the security department with only one way to lock it from inside, and the neighborhood seemed at times a little uncomfortable. As someone, local it seemed came to our front door and ask us for cash money. And other person came and moved the trash cans out to the curb for pick up and then came and put them back not saying a word to us. Don't know if that was the owner or neighbor or what it just felt odd. Though overall it was very well appointed and nice thoughtful amenities just real nice place to stay.

Hi Paul! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us! We love to hear when our guests enjoy the many amenities provided as your comfort is our ultimate goal! We strive to make your stay with us truly feel like a home away from home so that you can focus on having a stress-free, memorable vacation with friends and family! We do apologize for the condition of the yard and Airstream deck but we did have quite a few storms during that time which thwarted our best efforts to keep those areas clean. We assure you that the neighborhood is safe and Oak Grove is one of our most popular homes. We recently acquired a new trash service to take the trash cans to and from the curb for the trash service so as not to disturb our guests but thank you for bringing this to our attention and we will let them know that it is perfectly fine to interact with our guests should they be out and about while they are there. We value our guests feedback for without that, we would be unable to continue to grow and provide the best experience for our guests, so thank you for bringing this to our attention. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope to do so again soon!
