About this property

Lux SoCo Penthouse in the Heart of Austin

Welcome to your luxurious Austin landing pad. The SoCo Penthouse is located right off South Congress, a stone's throw from Austin's best shopping and dining. Sleep on the third floor in a comfy king bed with your own large deck overlooking pecan trees, Austin sunsets, and South Congress vibes.

While we are close to all the action, once you walk through the gate into the private front yard, you are in your own little oasis. You likely won't need a car, but if you have one, we offer an off-street parking spot behind our remote controlled gate (it's perfect for "normal" sized cars, but we can't accommodate camper vans or long trucks).

As we are next to a lively area, including a boutique, 4 star hotel, you may catch some of the buzz from South Congress, especially on weekends. That said, we're also nestled next to a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, and we’re committed to being great neighbors—so no parties, please. Think relaxed evenings with a glass of wine, not rowdy nights out.

You should also know our home has a modern style with tall ceilings and lots of light-filled rooms with high-up windows. Some of the windows don't require or accommodate coverings. While there is ample privacy, you will not have the ability to "black out" rooms. We do have fresh eye masks and earplugs for your use, but if you need full control of the light, this will not be the best place for you.

Finally, there are stairs! We technically have 3 stories, so you will need to carry your luggage (and yourself) up the stairs. We think it's worth it to enjoy the "treehouse" vibe, but we completely understand that doesn't work for everyone.

Once you arrive, you’ll find there’s no shortage of amazing things to do nearby—we’re happy to tailor recommendations based on your interests. Whether it’s food, music, shopping, or nature, Austin’s got something special for you, and we’d love to help you experience it like a local.

Wonderful location...

Had an excellent 3 night stay! Located close to all services needed including good food and shopping. Excellent proximity to downtown. The place itself was spacious and very clean. Well stocked and appointed. Beds were comfortable. TVs in both bedrooms was a plus. As was the secure parking space! Would definitely stay here again on a return to Austin.

Fun Weekend Exploring Austin

The property was perfect! 2 couples meeting in Austin for a weekend of catching up and exploring the area. It was easy to enter the unit - no problems. The living space was spacious and comfortable. It was great to have 2 full bathrooms. The decks were also great! Lot's of choices for food, and entertainment. There was also a little grocery store within walking distance for wine and snacks. Fun time!

This property is one of the best VRBO's we've stayed in, and we've stayed in a lot. It was the perfect place to enjoy time with our Texas cousins. Plenty of space, great location, and the secure parking was a bonus.

We loved this place. The location was amazing! Having the coffee shop next door was wonderful. The beds were very comfy and had great sheets and the balconies were awesome and we ate pecans from the tree out front. I would highly recommend this place.

Ideal!!

The location is ideal (residential yet basically on Congress for restaurant and shopping access), parking spot was a big bonus, and the place was perfectly equipped. We appreciated the kitchen necessities and extras, things that are often not well stocked in rental properties. The design and decor made my daughters feel pretty special during our week away from home. We'd definitely stay here again!

Great girls getaway

Host was very responsive and flexible. Great location. The place is very convenient and they’ve added everything to make it as convenient as possible. Separate bedrooms and the pull out couch allowed for plenty of sleeping space for our group.

Enjoyed our stay

Loved our stay and the house was very accommodating and near so much. The host was extremely good to work with and it’s such a nice property. If I had any suggestions it would be to have some blinds installed in the downstairs bathroom, downstairs bedroom and living area. I would definitely stay here again and suggest it to others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Three Night Stay for ACL 50th Anniversary Celebration

My wife and I booked the property for visit to Austin and the ACL 59th anniversary celebration. When we arrived We loved the property! It was well represented in the listing and was even better in person! Love the location being a half block off of Congress avenue. The unit was full of natural sunlight and very open. Loved the three balconies and other outdoor space. Having private parking with a remote gate was a nice bonus! We plan to return again soon!! Thank you!!

Lovely location. My only suggestions were that the soap was watered down in bathroom and there could be improvement in the cleanliness. There are cobwebs and vents very dirty. Would recommend extra towels.

Great location. Great value. Great time!

This property is in the perfect location, easy to walk to amazing restaurants and shopping. It was easy to find, get in and out. We stayed here as home base and traveled to San Antonio one day and Waco the next. The property was perfect for my daughter and I where we could watch movies at night and still get our own space. Very modern and had comfortable amenities. This was great value for the space - hotels in the area are much more expensive.

Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic

Place was very clean and organized. More than enough room for four adults to hang out and also have some privacy. Great location to hang out on South Congress Avenue which has a many little shops and places to eat. 6th Street and Rainey Street District all within walking distance or a short Uber ride. Would definitely stay again if ever back in Austin.

This is THE place to stay in SoCo

Stunning place, beautifully decorated and very well equipped with top appliances. We walked to the great shops on South Congress, to great restaurants on (Home Slice, Two Hands, Guero's, Perla's) and off South Congress (Fresa's, Elizabeth Street Cafe). East Side, Zilker Area, 6th Street, Capitol and the UT campus etc. are a quick share ride away. This will be my spot to stay in Austin going forward, if I can get in ;)

Best VRBO

This VRBO was GORGEOUS and in an AMAZING location. It’s super walkable/affordable Ubers to bars and restaurants, with a coffee shop right next door. We drove so the parking space was great. 10/10 would recommend staying here. Please note there are a decent number of stairs so if those are tricky for you, this may not be the best rental but otherwise I HIGHLY recommend.

Great 2 BR condo, Perfect for couples

We met up with another couple in Austin for several days and this was the perfect set up for us to be able to hang out but still have our own separate spaces. We had everything we needed on the amenities side. The South Congress location was great giving us easy access to food and shopping. Meredith was always super fast to get back with me when I had questions. Having the gated parking space in front was very handy too!

Centrally located SoCo oasis … and a very helpful host

Aside from some hiccups with figuring out the parking space sliding gate and the delayed knob turn required to use the keyless entry code, our stay was pretty perfect. Spacious multi level living for privacy and very comfortable mattresses with luxury bedding. Two large smart tvs. In house washer and dryer. Roof deck with chairs and table. Within walking distance to really great restaurant options and shopping. If you walk away from SoCo, there are walking trails — a pretty, quiet way to access the river. We really loved exploring Austin and using this great home as our base.

Great Condo & Great Location

We stayed here for a girlfriends long weekend away. Not knowing Austin at all we thought this looked like a great location and it was - walking distance to lots of restaurants you will want to check out (Perla's, Aba, Home Slice Pizza, Torchy's, Gueros a coffee shop Manana right next door and more). Quick Uber ride downtown as well. Only downfall was that a grocery store or liquor store was a bit farther away. Condo had everything we needed and Merdith was great to work with. We couldn't figure out the sophisticated door lock but she was quick to respond and walk us through it. Would definitely recommend to others!

About the host

Hosted by Meredith Maycotte

Host profile image
We are originally from Texas and Mexico. We love traveling the world and like to stay in vacation rentals so we can get a more local experience wherever we go. We also really enjoy hosting other guests.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is a quintessential Austin neighborhood. There is a lot of action, and you really feel like you are right in the middle of everything. A lot of people in Austin end up using their cars to get everywhere. However, we really wanted a place that you could walk out the front door and start experiencing the vibrant city. The houses in the neighborhood are a mix of historic gems and modern architecture. We really enjoy the eclectic vibe.
