We enjoyed a relaxing stay around the F1 GP and found the route into the Circuit of the Americas pretty straightforward. Relaxing by the pool was also good and a chance to unwind after the fun experiences in Austin.
Family vacation with 8 guests, house was perfect spacious and luxurious, private areas, wonderful pool and great nature views, close to fun activities and locations.
My family had a wonderful time while staying at this property. We were in awe when we opened the door and entered the home. We spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful and peaceful outdoor areas. The owner had made sure that everything we could need was avaiable. My family made some great memories!
We loved the house it is very well decorated and very inviting, the pool area is great, although jacuzzi not working which was a bummer. The property is gorgeous. Plenty of space, we enjoyed it emensely. The only problem was it needed to be sprayed for cockroaches. We found a couple outside and inside the home. Still had a great stay.We would go back. Thanks for sharing your property.
I had to contact the owner for the address the day before arrival. He did not give the door code so I was trying to get that info as other family members had arrived before me. He later sent a 4 page welcome package electronically. However, it was not printed anywhere at the home. He types the WiFi password and we were not able to get on line for almost 36 hours. Also, you canât get cell phone reception there except for SOS calls. Most of our calls dropped if you could even get a signal at all. When opening the front door you are greeted with a mildew smell. They have fragrance oils and candles to try to minimize the odor. The queen bed in one of the downstairs bedroom is so hard it feels like a box spring instead of a mattress. The home feels cluttered and it seems like the owner lives there on a regular basis as the actual master bedroom is locked and blocked by. Small table. The home has potential, but was overpriced based on other properties that I have stayed at that price point. For instance, usually there are toiletries like shower gel and lotion provided in the bathrooms, but that was not the case here at the âestateâ. Yes it was big, but not as expected.
I never follow up with a review on our VRBO rentals because all of them have been pleasant. This property was far from it. The property was covered with wasp nests and we were stung. There were alive and dead roaches and ants in the house. Hot water and water pressure in most bathrooms very low. Refrigerator alternated between freezing our food or being at room temperature. Front door would not lock from the outside although owner insisted it did. This property needs a lot of work as kitchen cabinet doors were hanging by one hinge, the door knob kept falling off the powder room door, and we had to tighten the toliet seat to use it.
We were in town for the graduation of our nephew from Texas State and spent the weekend with family. Great relaxing place to stay. Really enjoyed the pool!
The Hilltop Estate was a great place for our annual girls trip (we've been doing this for many years). The rooms were spacious and the kitchen was very well stocked and a pleasure to use. The house and outdoor areas had plenty of room for the 8 of us to gather.
We enjoyed our week but there were some things that need to be addressed. Our group found the foyer steps dangerous. In fact, one of our group fell the first night. The steps leading to the pool had some loose bricks that made navigating hazardous. The unheated pool was lovely but the property was listed with a hot tub spa. This was not operational.
The location was convenient, quiet, private and easily accessible. Overall our group enjoyed our stay.
We had a wonderful stay at the estate! Close to town, but very secluded. Backs to woods where we saw a family of deer while sitting by the pool! Thanks for everything, Roy!
Absolutely fabulous house, and gourmet kitchen. Beach towels were even provided. It was tranquil.
Plenty of room, everyone could go do their thing and not be underfoot. There was a glitch with the refrigerator, apparently the thermostat was going out, and we had to throw some food away that had frozen, but the owner was very gracious and came over immediately to try to adjust it. He was a champ. There were some things that surprised me, that would be helpful to list as recommendations to future guests. There was no icemachine so I had to go pick up bags of ice, no hair dryers and with teenage girls this was catastrophic. Call me old fashion, but I expect soap in the bathtubs/showers. There were pump soaps at the sinks. If this had been listed, I would have known to bring my own soap. No washcloths, but we had plenty of towels. Overall, it was a great place for a family vacation.
This house was so much fun for us to stay at. The kitchen is more than fully stocked. The pool was amazing, the outdoor atmosphere was amazing! Definitely watch your step, there are many stairs. I took a tumble down one set of stairs because I wasnât paying attention. So definitely be mindful. Otherwise, this place was so much fun and so incredibly relaxing. I wish we could have stayed longer, alas, we had to return to the harsh realities of life.
Myself and 4 friends had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful home for a wine country weekend getaway. It was absolutely beautiful and looked exactly like the pictures. We were completely happy with our stay. Thank you so much!
Overall stay was good! There were a few hiccups upon arrival, (there's a lot of greenery, so patio furniture & pool had to be cleaned up a bit) but they were taken care very quickly - the owners were super responsive & very accommodating, which made our stay even better.
