We had a fantastic stay! The home was in a great location, just minutes from South Congress. We had a group of 11 women and everyone had plenty of space! The pool was great and the home had everything we needed for the weekend. The host was really friendly and responsive, which made the whole process so easy. The neighborhood is also beautiful—go for a walk if you can! Would definitely recommend!

Bright Stay

We loved how near this location is to S. Congress (walking distance) and from a beautiful H.E.Bs. It was very convenient for uber rides into the center. The pool was lush! Everyone had plenty of space. And there were floats left by others, extra chairs, and games in the closet. I would definitely stay here again!

Great spot for a group of girls looking to be close to town!

My friends and I stayed here for a long weekend and the property was perfect! Pool was great for an August weekend, there was plenty of common area space for us to hang out in and the kitchen had all the necessities for us. They were communicative about the option to check in early but it does cost extra. Additionally the listing says they can fit 14 people in the house but they actually have a $200 fee for any additional guests over 12 (so we had to pay even more than what was advertised), not a huge deal just something to be aware of. Would definitely stay here again.

Hi Molly, I'm glad you had a wonderful stay. The extra guest fee is clearly advertised on our listing for each guest over 12. When you enter the number of guests in your group, you are provided and accurate quote including the extra guest fee, if you have 13 or 14 guests.

Bachelorette party ideal

The house has plenty of space for large groups, comfortable beds, beautiful pool and great location! The house did include the minimum we needed including bath towels however there was not a single kitchen towel. We had to do all of our cleaning up and drying dishes with paper towels which was frustrating.
