About this property

Stylish & Spacious: The Ultimate Group Getaway in the Heart of Austin - WalkerVR

Welcome to Walker Luxury Vacation Rentals, where exceptional guest experiences and premium hospitality are our top priorities. Each of our homes comes with a dedicated team of knowledgeable agents that are available 24/7. Your personal representative is not only well-versed in every detail of the home, but has likely enjoyed it with their own friends and family. They will quickly become an invaluable resource, guiding you to the best experiences and locations tailored for your group.

As modern as it is lush, the South Congress Custom House is an ideal setting for a group getaway in a pitch-perfect location. Four vibrant bedrooms sleep 14 guests total—each with either a queen or king bed (and one with a pull-out sofa to sleep two). Best of all? Our coveted South Congress location is a short walk from some of the city’s most popular restaurants and sites.

Park in your private driveway, drop your bags, and:

Find your ideal hangout spot. South Congress Custom House is a 2,600 sq. ft. industrial-chic haven with concrete counters, clean-lined furnishings and custom ironwork details. Outside, find a BBQ-ready space with a fenced yard, charcoal grill, smoker, fire pit, and leafy, serene landscaping.

Can’t decide between indoors or out? You can also have both at once: there’s also a screened side porch for enjoying Southern breezes without the direct sun. This space even has its own wet bar and a nap-worthy sectional sofa.

Easily explore two of Austin's best streets/neighborhoods. The South Congress area (aka SoCo) is undoubtably an Austin favorite—and you're right in the middle of it here. To the other side is South First, another activity-packed thoroughfare. Foodies will appreciate the range of options at their fingertips, from Torchy's Tacos to some of the city's best Thai food at Sway (both are less than a 5-minute walk away). Make a night of it and catch some live music at The Continental Club, just a 10-minute walk.

Admire some Austin originals. The South Congress Custom House is just down the street from the famed Greetings from Austin mural. But you don't even have to go that far for local art. The house itself features wall-sized murals in two of the bedrooms, plus other original art and custom design elements throughout.

Have brunch at home. Wake up refreshed, stay in your PJs, and head to the full, open-concept kitchen. The frosted cabinets are filled with everything you need to cook and eat. Mix up mimosas, slather those pancakes in syrup, and head to the dining table to feast!

Please Note - The primary bedroom contains a queen over-queen bunk bed, totaling two queen beds.

Location:
0.3 miles to Sway restaurant (5 minute walk)
0.5 miles to The Continental Club live music (10 minute walk)

1.7 miles to The Austin Convention Center (8 minute car ride)

Wonderful Stay!

My friends and I had an amazing stay here. Quiet neighborhood, great location just a few blocks from Congress street, and the house itself fit everything we were looking for. Would come back here the next time we make our way to Austin.

The house was great and as described. It was perfectly situated within walking distance of South Congress and a quick Uber ride to downtown Austin. 4 couples and 4 bedrooms and everyone was happy. We had a couple of mechanical issues and Walker Luxury Rentals was quick to take care of all.

Thanksgiving Stay

Overall, the house & location were great. The hospitality & responsiveness of the property management company was quick & efficient. We really enjoyed our stay & would rent this property again. The house was very nice but not sure I would call it "luxury". There were a few small details that may need to be addressed. There are many different light switches & it's confusing at first. Would be great if they were labeled. There is really nowhere to put luggage in the bedrooms so it would be nice to have luggage racks in each of them. The furniture cushions in the screened porch area are old & tired. It was not comfortable to sit for any length of time. The sink in the upstairs guest bath isn't big enough to even wash your face in which was strange. The kitchen isn't well stocked if you are cooking a big meal but I'm sure most guests don't do that. It would be nice to have more than 2 barstools for such a big bar area. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and again, the location & the property management team were 5 star.

Great stay and perfect location!

We were celebrating the holidays in Austin with family and the house was amazing. Our family enjoys walking and the home was perfectly located that we didn’t even rent a car. House was a great layout for 5 adults and 2 kids, more than enough space and the house was very clean and very comfortable Also, mostly everything you could need was provided. I would stay again for sure. Thank you!

Pleasant stay in Austin

Quiet neighborhood and very pleasant easy access home. Great to walk to restaurants and shops on Congress. Yes, the management company / VRBO should disclose that the home next door is under construction. However, the construction noise was minimal and workers unobtrusive and respectful.

Almost fabulous

With as many people as we had and with various ages, we needed to use the screened in porch every day. It was so dirty that two of us had to sweep, dust and take the cushions out to beat the dirt out of them. There were ants and two people were bit. Otherwise the home was clean inside.

Beautiful Home

This home was beautiful and there was plenty of space for us to sleep and lounge around. Kitchen was large and well stocked. The property manager was very generous and allowed us early check in and late check out so we had enough time to decorate and clean. There were good instructions for where things were located. When we come back to town, we will try to book this same home.

April stay

We were there for my daughter's wedding and was good space for those staying there. The lighting was confusing and not all lights were working well. Kitchen could be better appointed. Realizing we were not there to watch TV, the channel selection was poor for how much the house cost. Minor details, overall liked the house.

Just the 10 of us

My husband and I stayed here with five18-20 year olds and three 8 year olds and we had a great time. Our kids brought their friends on this trip:) We walked to the famous Home Slice Pizza on South Congress the first night, enjoyed Barton Springs on the second day, and had a boat party on Lady Bird lake the last night. We had plenty of room for all 10 of us, the big kids stayed up stairs and the littles stayed with my husband and I downstairs. The only thing I would ask is that the trees be trimmed over the driveway and the light switches be labeled. Overall the experience was amazing and we made great memories.

Family Time

Our family enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and clean. Good outside area to barbecue. There were a couple of unfortunate things we experienced. First off the microwave had a short in it and did not work very well. We were not able to warm up any food through the evening. They did replace it the next day but we were done cooking by the time it arrived. Also the TV on the porch area did not work. They were not able to repair it and it was the only other TV in the house so it was a bit of an inconvenience to our group. They stated they would get back with us after discussing a way to compensate for lack of these things that were advertised but we never received a response. All in all the property was nice. Maybe would have chosen another property had we known they were only going to have one TV for our large party and per the house rules could not be outside past 10:00 pm.
