Inside our home:
Our home features two bedrooms: one with a Dream Cloud Premium king-sized mattress, and the other with a Dream Cloud Premium queen mattress and soft linens. The primary bedroom offers an ensuite walk-in shower, wall mounted 43" SMART TV and a spacious walk-in closet. The second bedroom has an adjacent bathroom with a relaxing bathtub. Both bedrooms provide full-size dressers and hampers.
In our living room, ample natural light streams through large windows (my personal favorite), complementing a dedicated workspace equipped with nearly 1 gig of fiber internet. A 50" smart Fire TV caters to your entertainment preferences, while comfortable seating awaits for gaming or enjoying your favorite shows.
If you're a cooking enthusiast, the kitchen is fully equipped with new stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a coffee maker, blender, air fryer, rice maker, baking dishes, and more to make meal preparation a breeze during your stay.
The property's standout feature is the spacious backyard, ideal for your furry companions or little ones to roam and play freely. With the cooler weather, read a book outside or enjoy a meal on the recently added patio slab, gas propane grill and outdoor dining table.
For added convenience and security, the garage accommodates one vehicle and includes a full-size washer and dryer with complimentary starter detergent. An extra parking spot is available in the driveway, while ample street parking ensures that friends can easily visit during the day.
This is a twin home (duplex) with one shared wall. The shared wall is away from the bedrooms. Guests have full access to their own private unit, a private fenced backyard along with their own secure garage spot for one vehicle. No spaces are shared except for the driveway.
Our home is in a peaceful quiet neighborhood. It is a diverse community of both renters and owner neighbors. In the mornings, you will find both old and young walking their pets or running.

Pet rules:
Please see PET FEE above. We welcome house-broken dogs with a max of 2 dogs in our home. Please keep them off furniture and beds or bring a blanket to lay down for them or we can provide one, and please pick up after your dog in the backyard. Starter bags are provided. NO CATS allowed, unfortunately. Additional cleaning fee may incur with excess amounts of hair and uncleanliness (vacuum and cleaning supplies are provided for guests). While you visit the many places in Austin without your dogs, we respectfully ask that they be crated when leaving them unattended in our home.
While we love dogs, we have BREED RESTRICTIONS due to insurance requirements.

Security Cameras:
For the safety of both guests and the property, we have an exterior camera actively recording video and audio of the front porch, exterior parking, and front door only. Guests are not to disable or interfere with the broadcast of the camera and are at risk of forfeiting their stay. No tampering. Unless there is excessive activity, the camera is not constantly monitored.
Stays over a month:
For stays over a month, we do require a monthly or biweekly cleaning to be set up with our cleaner to ensure the cleanliness of our home during your stay, and for our future guest. This cleaning fee is a separate fee and will be collected upfront.

We include a reasonable starter amount of toilet paper, paper towels, and other consumables like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dish detergent, and laundry detergent. Beyond the starter package, our guests are expected to manage their own refills.
