When I got to the property it was rush hour and it was off a busy street so I was unsure on how quiet it would be. But the next morning took the dogs for a walk and it’s actually a really cute and quiet neighborhood? Great for a morning walk. There’s restaurants and coffee shops all with a walk or short drive. Great location to get to all things Austin too. Nothing more than a 15 min drive. Property was clean and comfortable and having the fenced in space for the dogs was great.

I was very happy to stay in East Austin and find a pet-friendly tiny house. I did an extended stay and was able to work from the property--the wifi was strong enough to manage multiple zoom meetings. The courtyard was great for my dog and I to spend time, welcome friends (I previously lived in Austin) or just enjoy the dappled sunlight under the shade of trees. Check in and out were very simple. It was within walking distance to many of my favorite restaurants, bars and coffeeshops in Austin.

Not Charmed at All

1. The listing says "pet friendly", however, I had to sleep on the couch the entire time because the ladders were too steep for my dog to climb up and the yard is mostly mulch and dirt.2. I didn't feel like there was much privacy as close as the rental was to the houses on either side.3. The email I received the day before my stay said that if the TV said "no signal", to reboot the Chromecast, however, there is no Chromecast. There is a Fire Stick.4. I was asked to move the trash bin to the curb. I don't feel like I should have been asked to do that.5. The batteries on the remote are really low.6. There were roaches.7. My vehicle was scratched, and I was told the yard crew may not respond and I should probably file a claim on my insurance. Doing this could raise my monthly payment, and I'd have to pay the deductible. I parked where I was told. The yard work should have been done before or after my stay. If that was not possible, I should have been asked to move my car. 9. Until the yard crew was there on Thursday, there were tree limbs over the ground in the driveway and in the yard behind the fence. It is very dark there at night and there was no lighting. I tripped several times over the limbs and almost fell.  10. Yard crew showed up at 8:30 am to cut tree limbs which was very noisy. The host did not reply to me when I told them about my experience or communicate about the yard crew. Very disappointed.

Highly recommend

Sure! Here’s a quirky and fun VRBO review using your points:⸻Who knew a tiny home could deliver such huge vibes? This place is a masterclass in space sorcery—every inch perfectly thought out, like a game of Tetris designed by a designer with a PhD in coziness. The location? Chef’s kiss. Nestled in a charming neighborhood with dangerously good food and drinks just a stroll away, and a hop-skip-jump (okay, a short drive) to UT. Immaculately clean, with communication so smooth it felt like mind-reading. Honestly, if this place were a person, we’d be best friends. Zero complaints.

Dog Friendly in a great spot

This space was everything we needed for our trip. The owners were incredibly accommodating to our needs and gave some great recommendations for local spots. The neighborhood was very quiet and made it easy to walk our dogs.

HGTV Tiny Home - so Cute!!

This tiny home was adorable and fit me and my four other friends. I could communicate with the hosts easily and quickly, and they were so sweet and understanding. The tiny house is a little hidden from the street view, but with the hosts' directions, we quickly found the small home. My only mention is that the TV does not work, but it was not a problem for us since we were exploring Austin. I would recommend this place if anyone is looking for a smaller VRBO!

Amazing Tiny Cottage Stay!

We absolutely loved staying in this cottage. This was my favorite stay in Austin so far! The location is incredible, you can truly get to any location you want in Austin in minutes or just walk to several great spots as well. The place was super clean and easy to access. Only stayed one night but has everything if needed to stay longer! We were able to park in the driveway and easily fit both cars! And shout out to the wonderful host! Will be rebooking when returning to Austin!

Great location and has everything you need

I stay at a lot of rentals so I may be a little pickier than others. Overall, the place is nice and in a good location. One thing that just stuck out was a stain on the floor mat as you walk in. Again, just something that stood out. The rest of the home was very clean. I did have to reach out to the host for check in instructions the evening prior to my stay. They were quick to respond.
