We absolutely loved having the house and back house, lots of room for our family. The location is convenient to driving to restaurants and activities. Some of the furniture is in rough shape, but doable. I thought the charge for a medical service dog was extremely high, not a charge we are accustom to paying when we travel.

Lori, Thank you so much for the valuable feedback. The charge was for cleaning pet hair from all the furnitures and rugs. We must deodorize and thoroughly clean after a pet. We always welcome furry friends but also want to make sure we provide a wonderful stay for our next guests. We have replaced the sectional in the living room after finding a couple places that couldn’t be repaired. We appreciate you staying with us and hope you will come back again!

Great house for a guys weekend in Austin. Plenty of rooms and beds for our group and space to spread out. Pool was great to hangout in the day or after being out for the evening. House has nice amenities with pool, hot tub, game areas. All rooms were clean and ready when we checked. Host was helpful as we communicated in advance for recommendations for activities and restaurants. Host checked in a few times to see how things were going and if needed anything.

Great Bachelor Party House

We stayed in this house last weekend with a group of 11 guys. There was plenty of room to sleep and kick back. House was very clean and comfortable. Pool and spa were great amenity. Walking distance to UT baseball game and quick 5 min uber to 6th street. Bonus is there is a small liquor store right next door so very convenient to pick up beer and snacks. The host, Brooks, was great and really went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. 5 stars and would definitely be back!

Wonderful home for groups

This property is perfect for enjoying time with a group. It’s located near plenty of delicious cafes and eateries and is very close to downtown Austin (but far enough away that you get a great nights sleep). The owner and property manager are super helpful and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend!

Great for groups, even though it’s not quite a 5-star luxury property

How itself is gorgeous with lots of space and high end finishes. The layout is perfect for groups. It’s clearly rented out to lots of young groups like ourselves so there’s a lot of wear and tear on the property (outside furniture is banged up, some things are a little less than spotless), but the property worked for us nonetheless. Also, be aware that paying for early check-in does not mean the property will be ready to go by 12pm, it just means you can access the property by 12pm but the cleaners will still be working (this was not clear to us and we had to wait around on the patio for 2-3hrs while the cleaners finished up inside)
Aufenthalt von 5 Nächten im Juli 2021
Antwort von VrboOwner am 28. Juli 2021
Zachary, I'm glad y'all enjoyed your stay. We try to keep our furnishings in great shape but as you said we do have guests very frequently and the wear and tear is inevitable. We plan to refurnish the entire property every couple years. Now, for the early check in and the wait on the cleaners. That is not a normal occurrence. That was a special case because you wanted early check in directly after a guest was checking out, we said that was allowed but the cleaners would more than likely still be cleaning. You were more than happy to continue with the early check in as you stated "We just want to drop our bags and go eat". We also allowed y'all to enter as soon as you arrived and don't know where the "3 hours of waiting in the patio" occurred.

Gorgeous home with an incredible kitchen

The house was exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen was exceptional, equipped with an excellent chef's oven/range and many useful appliances. Master suite is peaceful and the adjoining bathroom is massive. Third floor contains a den with working gas fireplace, a sixth bedroom (bunkbeds, suitable for kids), and a terrace with skyline views. Re location, our group was quite content. We're ftom NY, and accustomed to walking a fair amount. DT (6th st) is a 15-20 minute stroll. If youre headed to East 6th street, it's sbout a 10 minute walk. There are a number of cool bars and cafes on the eastside, a few blocks south of the property, all within walking distance. We were very happy with the property and our experience with Homeaway. The reps were accessible, friendly and knowledgable. We would return.

Great location and house.

This house was beautiful. Lots of characteristics of an older home with all the amenities of a new home. The view from the third bedroom balcony was fabulous. My sister got married in Austin so the family elected to rent a house to stay together and this worked great. The house is in a transitional neighborhood so there are some beautiful homes next to smaller ones but the location to downtown made it ideal. We had nine people stay and the house absolutely could fit many more. The only thing I would warn about is that the oven, though very high end, if it isn't turned on, takes 4 hours to warm up so really don't plan on cooking anything. As this is a rental house most people would not even dream of cooking and really it was a small thing. The beds were all very comfortable, excellent decor, and overall great experience. The bride and groom even commented they would rather stay at the house then at their hotel suite because it was so nice. Would absolutely stay here again and worked great for us.

Don't even try to cook

First the good points: great location; killer view of downtown and the Capitol from lovely third-floor veranda; large and spacious rooms with lots of different spaces to gather in on all three floors; a first floor bedroom and bath for anyone who has trouble with stairs; in general, even better than the pictures show. But then there are the not-so-good points, like one hanger (total) in a six bedroom house; no washer and drier, even though the listing says there are; and then the kitchen. The kitchen is beautiful: spacious, lots of counter space and cupboard space, and a coffee-maker, microwave, dishwasher, and ice-maker. But the kitchen has a woefully inadequate supply of glasses for a house that can easily accommodate 10 people, not a single bowl for cereal in the morning (there are a half-dozen mugs of the kind you get for free from various organizations- those can be pressed into service), and a completely inadequate stock of kitchen utensils if you want to do any cooking-- or, even if you don't, if you want to heat anything in the microwave. But cooking is not recommended anyway, due to the Aga stove that the kitchen sports. I imagine that if you live with an Aga you get used to it and learn how to use it, but it is completely inappropriate for a rental where you want to be able to walk in and be able to cook up a simple meal. And if the Aga is not turned on when you arrive you can forget about even using it to heat up food (we'd planned to re-heat Franklin Barbeque procured earlier in the day) since it takes hours for the Aga to heat up. The Aga has no dials for either the ovens or the range top-- the different compartments and burners heat to pre-set approximate temperatures and you put your food where you think the right temperature is to cook it correctly. My daughter-in-law, who is not only a professionally trained chef, but is very intelligent and resourceful, was driven to distraction trying to make Christmas dinner on the thing. (And, oh yes, there was an ant infestation in the kitchen.) Our recommendation: sell the Aga (they are very expensive) and use the money to buy a regular stove; stock the kitchen with adequate plates, bowls, glasses, and utensils; and use the couple bucks left over to buy some hangers. We've given the house three stars as an average: the house's good qualities are offset by the kitchen problems.
Antwort von VrboOwner am 22. März 2020
I apologize for your issues. We used to live in the house full time but moved out at which time all items were stocked completely. We had bowls. They are normally located to the left of the microwave. I will make sure they are still there. I'm unsure of why there were ants as we are under contract with an exterminator. Since the stay was over Christmas I was only able to get him out on the 29th when they got back in the office. I am having our house manager restock the hangers and double check all utensils. I wish you would have brought up the stock issues as I would have gladly had our manager drop some off to you. We stock hangers often but they get taken by guests on accident. I will update the listing about the washer and dryer. This was there when we resided there but we took it when we moved. It hasn't come up so I didn't think to change it. The Aga range is definitely different. We discuss its operation and to turn it on or ask us to in our app in two different places. I am sorry you missed that. We have had professional chefs cook with it and film cooking demonstrations on it. I understand it can be different to use and is why we offer links, an Aga cook book and instructions to help guide guests. I would have helped you with it if asked. I didn't have any communication on any of the issues mentioned other than the ants. I hope you can tell from our other reviews we strive to give the best experience to our guests. Please consider us if you ever desire to stay downtown Austin again as I will offer you a far reduced rate. Again I apologize for any inconveniences these items caused and wished we would have known sooner so we could have rectified them. Please be assured all items will be corrected immediately.

Won't Stay Here Again

The property is in a rough neighborhood. It is close to many places, however, you have to pass some scary parts, so walking is not exactly safe. There was a man in a home across the street in his front yard on day one yelling constantly and a woman who was screaming to herself at midnight for 2 nights in a row. When we got there, one of the garage doors would only open halfway. The dishwasher in the back house never worked. The garbage disposal in both houses wouldn't work initially. Thankfully Ronaldo came and got the garage door to work, got us in the back house and reset the switch to get the garbage disposal to work in the front house. The heat in the front house wouldn't come on at first because it had to be synced with the thermostat upstairs within 2 degrees. I have a whole list: Toilets wouldn't flush well 2 Toilet seats broken Water upstairs never got over lukewarm Outdoor games thrown all over the yard Breaker for the dishwasher in guest unit is permanently flipped. They tried to flip it and it would flip back. No can opener no cutting knives in guest unit no trash can is guest master bedroom The coffee pot would not work initially. They did replace it. The lock on the doors were warning of a low battery in both houses. We called and were told it should still have some life left, however the front house app lock eventually wouldn't open and hod to be manually opened. We also were not informed of how the handle on the gate had to be positioned or how to block the code pad until we spoke to Ronaldo, We spent far too much time on the phone with people to fix things. It dug into our time for sightseeing and spending quality time with our family.

Bridgett, We spoke over the phone at length on some of these items. We do apologize for the Coffee Maker, garage, and door locks. I didn't hear some of these complaints when we spoke so I will address it here. Area: The house is Downtown Austin Offering many conveniences such as location to convention center, bars, restaurants and UT. All properties downtown are in a diverse setting which is similar to any major city. We do offer homes in more remote locations and would suggest you look for stays in non downtown areas if the things you complained about bother you. The location is clear that it is downtown. We apologize that your didn't understand that but at no time did we say differently. Toilets not flushing: Im not sure what this means. Our toilets flush and are checked by cleaner and our management staff each stay. Im not sure how all our toilets wouldn't flush. No can opener no cutting knives in guest unit-All items other than dishware and glasses are located in the main house kitchen and dining. no trash can is guest master bedroom- We provide a trash can in each bathroom and bedroom that is not attached to a bathroom. Handle on the gate- This is detailed in your checkin instructions provided to you upon booking confirmation. Have a good week!

Solid all around

The property is very cool. 2 houses with a modern feel. There are a few things here and there that need maintenance or didn't work as one would expect, but for us it wasn't an issue. The team over at Black opal was great. Yen was available by phone all weekend and very helpful. This is definitely a great spot for a weekend hang and very close to the city.

Awesome spot

Went for a long weekend on a guys trip. Neighborhood is a little worn down but the house is amazing. It’s actually two houses with a very modern concept. We loved exploring Austin but spent a ton of time hanging at the house. Love having the Sonos speakers throughout as well.

Great weekend in Austin

This place was perfect for our group of 13 friends. Location is ideal and a very short Uber/like scooter away from great bars and restaurants. Space was more than enough for all of us to relax and gather comfortably. The dual kitchens are a huge bonus if you’re cooking a large meal. Only issue was that the hot tub was ice cold when we got there but the host was very responsive and quick to help us out. Would stay here again.

Great place to stay in austin

We were 13 guys and there was plenty of space for all of us. Brooks offered us early and late checkout (for a fee) and was willing to accommodate our every need. He was very responsive and the house was comfortable. The neighborhood is sketchy as heck but we didn’t have any issues. A sacrifice worth making for being so close to downtown in a house that size.

BEWARE - UNETHICAL AND SHADY PROPERTY MANAGER

This property manager should be removed from the VRBO platform. It took months to get him to accept payments in advance of a large group gathering, where he consistently neglected communications giving. Numerous times he failed to process correct payment details and he even attempted multiple reoccurring payments which were luckily denied by my banking institution. Needless to say, this gave me great anxiety leading up to our stay, as I was worried our reservations were not solid. Three weeks prior to the groups stay, as local public health officials issued the highest elevated risk due to COVID spread and max capacity hospitals, the manager agreed to a refund over the phone with a representative from VRBO, after I called because I couldn't reach him. After I inquired about the status of the refund to VRBO, the manager sent an inappropriate and nonsensical email, stating that conditions in Austin were normal for months and that the media was to blame, despite local public health officials warnings. In using vacation stay platforms for over a decade, this is by far the most lazy, unethical and inconsiderate property manager I have encountered.

Josh, With all due respect I understand that you are upset because we couldnt amend the vrbo policy on refunds due to your reason. No one here ever spoke to vrbo so that is completely untrue. We understand that you may have health concerns and that is why you were offered trip insurance when you checked out. We highly recommend all guests purchase trip insurance if they feel that their personal situations may cause them to not be able to travel. Regarding the payment situation, we have an automated system process credit card charges to insure complete security for our guests. This only happens based on VRBO terms and processes 50% at booking and 50% 30 days prior to your stay. Your credit card failed to process so we helped you manually process your first payment. Your second payment tried unsuccessfully as well. Perhaps you were out of funds when the system tried to process it but our system will retry 2 times then will not try again. hence the attempts on your credit card to charge your second payment. We got it handled for you before your stay. I'm not sure why you would blame us for your credit card not working when you entered it at booking. I also do not understand your comment about us not responding. Here is a recap of our conversation string. I can forward the entire string to you at your request. You booked the property on 3/9/2021. We responded at 11am with our rental agreement, terms and information about your stay. On 3/30 you wrote "Hi Brooks, Looking forward to staying at your place in August. I'd like to add a late checkout option for our date, like I saw in the owners manual. Just wanted to give the group some time to get things together and get to flights." We immediately resonded with how you could pay for the early checkin and the step to do so. You emailed us on 5/13 inquiring about your last payment. we looked into it and figured out your card expired or you canceled it with your card company. We sent you an invoice to update your credit card details so we could charge your last payment. You responded with "Hi Brooks, Thanks for getting back to me! I've updated the payment details and everything is set. I'll keep an eye out for the charge. Sometimes my bank doesn't authorize large transactions because of fraud protection, but I just called to remove them so there won't be any issues. Thanks again!" I responded with details regarding the issue "Josh, It looks like your payment initially declined but I reran it just now and the first payment went through. The second half processes 30 days prior to arrival. Thank you." We re-sent the rental agreement to you on 8/03 and you signed it agreeing to our terms which included no cancellations allowed outside the cancellation window. The next day you wrote "Hi Brooks, Unfortunately due to the dire situation with covid spread in the Austin area, I am inquiring about any options you may have for refunds/changes for the group. We have two individuals who are immunocompromised, as well as having a over half the group with children. Therefore, traveling to ATX during the situation on-the-ground would be dangerous. I read that there’s no refunds under 60 days but wanted to inquire about any options due to the changes with covid in the area. I appreciate anything you could do." Aidan responded that we could not process a refund due to how close the travel dates were but we could offer to cancel your booking without a refund, try to rebook it and would generously give you whatever we collected and not take a fee. He also mentioned he has children of his own in Austin and there were no mask mandates or closures. You never responded to us and we couldnt try to rebook it and have you show up to not be able to stay. We only found out that you were not coming the day of checkin when you told us to stop sending you messages and that you were not coming. We are among the most respected Hosts in the industry and have been providing top notch stays since 2004. We strive to provide upfront communication and a great experience. We are sorry that this situation happened the way it did but we gave every opportunity to you to try to save as much as possible but we did not get communication back from you. Good luck to you Josh, Sincerely Black Opal Home Charters

Was a great house for a group of people, very close to downtown Austin. The homeowner was super accommodating during the entire process. Highly recommend.

Great Place to Stay for Large Group

We had a great time celebrating a bachelor party for the weekend. The place is great to stay for a large group because there are plenty of beds and bathrooms, while having the space to not feel crammed and activities to do outside around the pool. The representative is very responsive to all questions you may have. You are only a short 10 min uber away from any popular spot in Austin. Definitely would recommend to people planning a weekend celebration.

Great property in a good location

We were happy with the property and its location in regards to all Austin has to offer. Only issues were the outdoor speakers were inaudible. We were told this is to not disturb the neighbors and to listen to our own speaker. This should be advertised because we didn’t bring a speaker and with all the outdoor activities offered, music would have been nice. Most of the ceiling fan remotes had dead batteries and the hot tub controls were broken. The front “gate door” was also broken. All in all, we were happy with the place. Great layout for a large group and the owner was very responsive to all our questions.
