This house was gorgeous and historic! We had a great stay. Walked downtown, drove to the beach, got ice cream from across the street. (The house is on a busy street but the yard is fenced.)We did need w&d use which the listing said was available but was not; however when I spoke with the host and explained why we needed it she was quick to understand and make it available. Just a heads-up to double check on this feature if needed! The host was kind, good at responding, and really seems to care that you feel at home. We really enjoyed staying here!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Nov 2025
The Austin House is well maintained from the yard to the interior. We only had access to two bedrooms, so no comment on the one upstairs with decks. It was a little too chilly to take advantage of the pool. The kitchen was well equipped; liked the reading room off kitchen; spacious and nicely decorated living room and bedrooms. It was nice to enjoy "happy hour" on the front gallery. The ONLY drawback: The house is located on the corner by a traffic light. On Friday and Saturday nights it was impossible to get any sleep before 1 a.m. due to the noisy traffic - especially the loud trucks that would blast off when the light changed! One of us resorted to sleeping in the living room and I would read in the library til 1 a.m. when the traffic noise would subside. If you are a light sleeper, this is not the weekend retreat for you. Thanks.
