Awesome location right in the best part of South Lamar! Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park are only 1 mile away, which means you're super close to everything! It's recently been redecorated. The apartment fits 6 people comfortably with 2 in the king bed, 2 in the queen bed, and 2 on the comfy sleeper sofa.

There is a small patio for relaxing and a grassy area that is great for pets. There is also a washer and dryer in a separate laundry room off of the patio.

If you need recommendations, we'll be available to provide them otherwise you'll have complete privacy. We'll provide you with access information before you arrive, so you'll have super quick and easy entry.

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 $400 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.

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
7) If you do not check out on time (11AM) you will be charged an additional night
8) Please see the House Manual emailed to you a few days before your stay

Great Stay

We had a quick over night trip. The stay was pleasant and we felt welcomed. The apartment was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the location was quiet and close to where we needed to be. The owner was very communicative with everything we needed to know, which was helpful.

3 day stay for a grandson’s graduation.

The unit was very clean. It is an older property. The small backyard has overgrown weeds, that needs some work. The bed was very comfortable. However the fitted sheet is not big enough and slipped off We were not able to put it back on around the corners. Loved having coffee in the kitchen and plenty of nice towels. The tub should have a grab bar. It was slippery.

Quick Spring Break

The property was exactly as advertised. This is a small apartment located right off of South Lamar. It is very close to downtown and Zilker park. We were able to go to Barton springs and enjoy the water even if it was a little cold. This is a great spot for anyone looking for a quick, affordable getaway. It is not a big rental built for entertaining, but rather a cozy apartment for easy access to Austin.

Worst VRBO stay ever

This is the worst VRBO experience we have ever had. First of all, I consistently received two emails for every reminder and every check in one from Austin vacay and one from a service manager. This made the check in process difficult because the code sent to me did not work. I called the property manager who answered after the second call and gave me a different number which worked. They apartment in our opinion was not at all how was presented on the website. The furniture and art is different (no big deal). The outside door frame is completely rotted away, the kitchen cabinet and drawers do not close. There is black mold in the air vents. On almost every door inside and out is chipping and peeling paint. They lid on the toilet is broken and clearly glued together. The apartment smells very strongly of odor ban cleaning solution and as it wears off you can smell cigarette smoke. The units around this apartment all have broken blinds and loud barking dogs (I know the property manager can't control the neighbors, but something that would have been nice to know). Both times I contacted the property manager (check in and when we wanted to talk about the property) I had to call twice before he would answer. Needless to say, we left the property and ended up getting a hotel. I called the property owner and explained our concerns, he was not willing to refund any of the money except the cleaning fee, which I still have not had returned to me. Had this been a cheap rental I wouldn't have cared so much but as you can clearly see if you're considering it, it isn't cheap.

Great location

We had trouble getting in and had to call the management company late at night to get a code that worked. Brandon was very pleasant and helpful and after that the door worked fine. It was an easy commute to the airport, Zilker Park, downtown and shopping. We also had a short walk to Snooze for brunch. It would be nice to have some sort of dresser in each bedroom. Overall the accomodations are nice and we would stay again.

Great location, worked for a couple

Great location for a getaway for my husband and I. We walked to several restaurants (10 min walk, easy peasy). Short drive to disc golf, Zilker Park, breweries and stores. The bed was not the most comfortable but it worked for a few nights. Neighbors were quiet, no issues at all, felt safe, parking is easy.
