Initially, I was excited to celebrate a catered birthday party for my fiancée; but there were a number of issues with the space and our access to it that made the experience difficult and stressful. I expected to check in at 3pm and have around four hours to set up and cater the before the 7pm party. I was supposed to receive the door code for check-in the day before the booking but never saw it or any mention of check-in at all. I eventually had to call the property owner with less than an hour before my check-in; when they called me back they told me that the house hadn't been cleaned from the last stay at all. We ended up letting them clean the space until 4:30 and then we had to come in and start preparing. The cleaner had to work until past 6:00, which of course is not her fault, but was just a difficult start to the stay. Our main issues came from the backyard / pool space area, which we felt was very misrepresented on the listing. The cowboy pool was unusable. Dirty, half-filled, cover half-submerged in the water.One guest sat down on the bench in the backyard, and the back leg immediately broke off. He tumbled backward and luckily didn't get injured from the fall. The grill was gross - had to be scrubbed for a long time before it could be used, although we had to purchase the cleaning materials ourselves because none were available. Additionally, garage door was unusable due to a wasp nest. Would have included positive feedback but at the end of character limit. WNR
Outdoor couch broke the first time a guest sat down...
Not the best picture, but the pool was half filled with dirty water and the cover submerged. 
I have no issue with filling a pool, but draining and cleaning it too?

Providing a generous review. Family of of 4 stayed at this property for 5 nights. It has great potential, but it came up very short of what was pictured and promised. At the co-owner's request, I tried to work with him on a reasonable reduction, but his promise for renumeration went unfulfilled. My belief is that this property was a flip, and they are undercapitalized. We've rented from VRBO several times and this fell well short. The positives:1) Spacious2) Located in close proximity to downtown3) 2 bathrooms4) Relatively comfortable beds5) Onsite parking6) Air conditioning works okayThe negatives - too many to list. Arrived in Austin to learn that the home was damaged, supposedly by a previous renter ("frat party"). Furniture was broken (living room couch, 1 of 4 chairs in dining room (one of us had to eat at the bar & lawn chair). Backyard and "pool" (primary reason we decided to rent this property) was unkept (owner referenced a storm from 3 weeks prior). Fridge had a broken icemaker and no lights. In a kitchen drawer, there were 4-5 letters from the gas company about issues with the furnace and water heater (we all slept the first night with windows open). Front door was unsafe. Kitchen was lacking glasses, cooking utensils, etc., - only 4 place settings as an example. Spider webs in multiple areas, and dust bunnies in multiple areas.To the owners' credit, they did have DoorDash deliver hand soap (none in bathrooms), toilet paper and ice cube trays.
Unkept front lawn
Unsafe board on porch
Had to call owner to find out how to unlock door. Issue was a bad (and unsafe) door jam
Only 2 of the letters from the gas company stating there was a dangerous issue with water heater and furnace (why would you keep these so renters can see); Didn't sleep well first night
