Walk to Zilker! Patio w/ a View & Elevated Balcony

This is easily the best location to start your Austin adventure! You can easily walk to Barton Springs Pool (5 min walk) and Zilker Park for all of the awesome festivals such as ACL, Blues on the Green, the Kite Festival, or just go hang out and relax with the Austin skyline as your backdrop.

We have an expansive 360 tour of this space - check it out by scanning the QR code in the image gallery. You can use the floor plan or the navigation bar at the bottom to explore the house. Also, if you go to an outdoor space, look up, and click the cloud with the arrow, then you will also get a tour of Austin! Enjoy!

This 2 bedroom house has an absolutely perfect location! It's right next to Zilker Park and downtown, which means you're super close to everything. It's recently been redecorated. The apartment fits 8 people comfortably with 2 in the king bed, 1 in the twin day bed, 1 in the twin trundle, 2 in the queen bed, and 2 on the comfy sleeper sofa.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the essentials. Cook as much or as little as you want while in town! Head to the large yard that wraps around entire house. Great for relaxing outdoors and perfect for pets. Please keep in mind that the fence is not fully enclosed, so an unattended pet may be able to wander off. There is an additional pet cleaning fee of $85 that must be paid in advance.

High speed G Fiber WIFI so you can work from home or keep the family entertained with our large smart TV in the living room. Stream your favorites on Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and more!

After booking you'll be provided a link where you can purchase upgrades to your booking such as early check-in and late check-out, additional cleanings, and more that will make your Austin experience even better!

We don't charge a security deposit! Where many hosts charge over $500, and where you as the guest risk them not returning your deposit – Austin Vacay remains guest-centric by charging a one-time, non-refundable fee (already included in your booking price) which provides up to $750 of coverage towards unintentional rental property damages (subject to plan terms and conditions). This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

Austin Vacay is proud to be able to service Austinites and travelers during these uncertain times. We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees. We encourage our guests to review Texas and Austin’s travel guidelines and restrictions before making a reservation. We must work together to ensure a safe environment for everyone that enters our properties.

Located in South Austin, this lively and eclectic neighborhood is known for its unique blend of creativity and culture. The area boasts a diverse range of attractions, including the famous South Congress Avenue (SoCo), where locals and visitors can find an array of boutique shops, art galleries, music venues, and a wide variety of dining options. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby parks and trails that offer opportunities for hiking, biking, and enjoying the scenic views of the city. With a mix of historic charm and modern flair, the neighborhood attracts a youthful and artistic crowd, providing a vibrant urban experience. Overall, this part of Austin is a hotspot for anyone seeking to explore the heart and soul of the city's distinctive culture and lifestyle.

Easily hop onto the city's Hike and Bike trail. Very close to multiple bike, kayak, and stand-up paddle board rental shops. Embrace the South Austin vibe that has made this city an icon around the country! Scooters (Lime & Bird) as well as Lyft and Uber are the best ways to get around Austin, especially this close to everything. However, there are also a lot of public transportation options in this area (see CapMetro's website).
We have security cameras outside of our property at the entrances for added security and your peace of mind. We do not have any cameras inside, respecting our guests' privacy.
1) No smoking allowed (of any kind) ($350 fine)
2) No loud noises after 10 PM per city ordinance
3) No events or parties
4) Feel free to inquire about bringing your dogs along. We allow a maximum of two small dogs, each weighing 35 lbs or less. Unfortunately, cats are not permitted. There is a one-time pet cleaning fee of $85. Please inform us in advance if you plan to bring a dog so we can prepare the necessary cleaning supplies to eliminate allergens before the next guest arrives. If we do not receive notice at least 48 hours before your check-in, the fee will be $105. While staying with us, dogs must be crated when left alone, should not climb on furniture, and must not be left outside unattended. Owners are responsible for any damages caused.
5) The cleaning that you pay for is to clean the home prior to your stay. If you do not pick up after yourself sufficiently when you check out, you may be charged an additional cleaning fee - price depends on how long it takes to clean up after you. We don't expect you to scrub the home, but simply pick up your trash and put everything where you found it
6) Minimum age requirement is 25

Do not recommend.
What a disappointment! The photos in the listing were quite nice and it appeared to be comfortable, it is not. When we entered the house it was obvious no one had cared for this place in a very long time. The carpet was disgusting, stained, torn, and crunched underfoot. There were holes in the walls and in the drapes. Much of the furniture was in a state of disrepair, the living room chair had a broken leg ( not usable ), and the beds screeched with every move, making it difficult to sleep. The towels were tacky, something appeared to be growing around the vent in the bathroom and all the air vents had debris hanging from them. We tried to find another place to stay however with the big-ticket events happening that weekend we had no other option. Every time we walked into this place we felt gross and were filled with disappointment.

Family on a budget
Overall the property and stay was great for a family on a budget, just what we were looking for. It’s within walking distance of Barton Springs and a very safe neighborhood. The view is great, but way more stairs than I anticipated to get to the house. Also parking is included which was a plus.

Great Location, Just OK Home
This location was fantastic. It's very close to Zilker Park and a cheap Uber/Lyft to the downtown area. The key pad lock made check in and out very convenient, and there was plenty of communication in advance of our arrival. The house itself left quite a bit to be desired. It has a very strong musty odor. I thought once the AC had been running for a few hours that it would clear up, but it was intense throughout the entire stay. There were ants in the upstairs bathroom. There is a portable AC unit in one of the upstairs bedrooms, and it had completely soaked the carpet through. I did alert management to this, and they advised to turn it off and they'd reach out to maintenance. I was never contacted again about it. The furniture is heavily stained, and most corners of floors, counters, and windows have dirt/dust buildup on them. The house needs a deep cleaning, a coat of paint, and some upgrades to the ventilation.

Terrible Communication, Broken Bed, Smell
Property owners/managers have failed to send a receipt for my stay after several requests. VRBO says they cannot help because Austin Vacay uses their own system. Queen Bed in second bedroom was broken upon arrival, and uncomfortable to sleep in. Unit has a musty smell, and foul odor from kitchen sink Ants crawling around in bathroom Unit much darker than appears in pictures. Otherwise property clean. Walkable to Zilker park and Barton Springs pool.

Heart of Austin
I had a great stay here with my boys (ages 12 and 13 in the heart of Austin. The front door is up the long stairs shown in the oustide pic. Pack light. Both bedrooms are upstairs but the living area has a pull out couch downstairs and another sitting couch there in the same living space as the pullout couch. We had no issues. We used a code to unlock the door and had no real check in process so that was nice. The house was tidy and clean. Beds were comfy. The location was fantastic. We came in from North Texas and was easily able to avoid I-35 and Mopac (Loop 1) by taking The Capitol of Texas HWY to Barton Springs. I would recommend eating at Magnolia Cafe for breakfast or brunch (on south congress). And Maudies Tex Mex (on Lamar) had excellent cheese enchiladas with spicy ranchero sauce and great salsa and drinks. Chuys is another iconic tex-mex restaurant and is the closest, right on Barton Springs. The Barton Springs natural spring fed pool was still closed since covid but we walked down to it and were able to go down (a few minutes walk) on a trail where the pool spills over into Ladybird Lake. The kids swam there for free and enjoyed the trees and scenery. This where the locals (and many of their friendly dogs) go to play and chill out. The lake has a great trail for hiking or biking and bike rental is just right out in the front parking area of the house. I have no complaints with out stay and hope to visit again! I used to live in Austin so I know this truly the best location to stay! Thank you for a great stay and very fair price for this location. We had a great time!

You could not have a better location. Easy walk from house to town lake path system and the sculpture gardens. Beautiful views from master bedroom deck. Nice quiet neighborhood. One of my favorite parts of the house were the lovely soft sheets on the beds. House was well stocked with extra towels. We prepared a small( 5 person) Thanksgiving Dinner and kitchen was adequately equipped for that type of cooking. Check in was easy and they were quick to respond at onset when I could not find the email with key codes.
