Matt was a great host! We decided to take a last minute trip to Austin with our 4 boys. My husbands works long hours and a last minute trip to unwind with our kids was much needed before school starts. On our way to Austin I found Matt’s home was available for booking. By now , it was past Check in time. I messaged Matt and he responded immediately allowing us to book his home. He was able to meet us at the house in the evening to give us a tour and show us where everything was at. His home was generously stocked with essentials and not to mention the large vintage subzero fridge with all the soft drinks you could think of! I had to tell the boys it was off limits LOL He also checked in on us by messaging us to make sure our stay was going great! He had the pool guy come by the next morning and cleared the pool of the falling leaves. Great shade by the pool by the way! The House was super clean and spacious. Lots of fresh clean towels. Large living room area for the toddlers to play with their action figures and be boys! The separate living room space with a pool table was perfect for my oldest son to spend some quality time with his dad. All my sons had a bedroom. The bedrooms were spacious and beds were very comfy. The top secret hiding spot that has a small window overlooking the pool was the boys nook spot and great hiding spot for their hide and seek games! My oldest called this home
The Macaulay Culkins home alone ranch. The home sits on acres of property. Plenty of space to run around outside and play ball as well. There was a small infant swing outside we didn’t get to use but we will next time!
My husband and I even got a good match of tennis in the tennis court while the boys fell asleep early one evening.
This home that I like to call an Hacienda is PERFECT for large families! I recommend if bringing an infant, bring your baby monitor and a folding high chair.
I forgot to bring mine. The kitchen was spacious and we enjoyed making home made pizzas and eating outdoors by the pool.
Location is very close to the main interstate which was awesome! No getting lost through neighborhoods. Close to downtown and Barton springs was about 20 min away. There’s an HEB about 8 minutes away as well. (Don’t forget to take your own grocery bags). Austin has a Single-Use Carryout Bag Ordinance
I wasn’t aware of. This home was so large we actually stayed on one side of the house. Plus, I could keep a close eye on the kids. My number one concern with pool access was safety! The home has large windows throughout the house that overlook the patio. Every window has burglar bars and 3 exits to the pool from the house. Matt left us the key to the burglar bars which made us feel safe to lock up and no kids could get out to the pool. So much natural light during the day was wonderful! No need to turn on the lights in the home!
We will definitely be returning!
