Relax with a Luxury Stay

As the door swings open, revealing your vacation stay for the following days, step inside and feel its magic begin to relax and soothe. A spacious open-concept floor plan has no secrets, and you will feel instantly at home as you walk further inside. The living room features a fantastic hanging closed-hearth fireplace, accenting the artistic charms of modern-style furnishings. Tall white walls add a natural elegance to the room, as do the large sliding doors on opposite sides of the living room that let in the light and offer unobstructed views of the pool and hot tub on one side and a private oasis designed to make you think twice about ever leaving on the other. A giant dove gray sectional in the living room will invite guests to sink into its soft depths, pick up the remote lying within close proximity, and spend a couple of hours surfing the channels on the state-of-the-art television mounted on the opposite wall. A fully equipped kitchen right off the living room provides a taste of the luxury life with clean floor-to-ceiling white cabinets and uniquely tiled countertops the color of a baby’s blue eyes and stainless steel appliances give guests the modern conveniences they love, while a large island breakfast bar fronted with wooden barstools provides the sense of family that makes guests feel at home. Of course, you may only use the fully-equipped kitchen for a little bit of brewing a pot of coffee, keeping your leftovers cold, and creating your favorite cocktails, but isn’t it nice knowing that it is there to be used if needed? Finally, the dining room sits just next to the stylish kitchen providing a clean uniquely-styled table for dining, game playing, or quiet conversations with your favorite traveling companions. Gather around this table and watch the smiles return to the face of your recently sullen teen and hear the laughter that rings through the expansive ceiling, reminding you again how vital this getaway to Austin was for your entire family.
