We want our guests to enjoy all the amenities our property has to offer, including the hot tub. However, please be aware that the availability of the hot tub might be affected by necessary maintenance, cleaning, or unforeseen issues that arise beyond our control. Our commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable experience means there may be times when the hot tub is not accessible. Your understanding and flexibility are greatly appreciated as we work to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

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 $2,000 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

Girl’s Trip

Wonderful accommodations for our group of four ladies. Comfy spaces for hanging out together and playing games, while also allowing for privacy when needed. Hosts were responsive and helpful and it’s a short hop to all of the fun stuff Austin has to offer.

Great Weekend Stay

We had a great time in Austin and this was a great place. The house was clean and had enough room for our group. It was a great location with short Uber rides to all of the major areas.

ACL Base Camp

Used this property as a base camp for our trip to Austin City Limits. Close to Zilker Park which made getting there and back again easy. Plenty of room for our group including room for 4 cars which in the heart of Austin is relatively rare. House was as described and didn't run into any issues. Would definitely consider renting this property again in the future!

Quick business trip

Austin was a central location to meet for some business meetings. This house was perfect and so cute. Very comfortable and a lot of space for people to not feel crowded. Bathrooms were all beautiful and the dining area was perfect for us to spend the day working. Neighborhood is beautiful and quiet and super close to everything we wanted to do for the evenings. Host was very responsive and always very informative. It’s an older home so you can expect to hear every step taken in the house but I feel like unless you have kids running around it’s just a detail. Beautiful home. Comfy beds and pillows. Great stay and will save it for any future Austin trips.

Great place! Great location!

Host was very accessible because on our arrival, house was not clean. However, cleaning crew came within the hour and made the place sparkle! We enjoyed the condo and hot tub and loved having our morning coffee on the front porch. Need a car while you’re there but everything in Austin proper is a 15-20 minute drive.

Amazing stay!

This was our first time in Texas and we could not have chosen a better place to stay! The pictures did not do the place justice! The place was very spacious and the hot tub was an absolute plus! The host was very accommodating and communicative throughout the process! Cannot recommend enough

Fantastic Location for our Family Reunion in Austin!

This is a special property with a unique lay-out that well-accommodated our family reunion during Fourth of July week. You cannot beat the location! We had a couple of minor hiccups, and the property manager was extremely responsive in resolving. Loved it and would stay here again!

Centrally Located Home

Home is in a nice neighborhood centrally located. It is spacious with multiple gathering rooms. Kitchen was equipped with cooking/serving essentials. Poor Host (Ames) communication, lack of professionalism to our emails to prior day stay and day of check-out. Very frustrating and stressful. An hour before check-in we received home instructions and code. We checked in at night... poor outdoor lighting made it difficult to find home (first time Austin guests). Older Home with much potential; home needs lots of TLC as there were broken items such as washer/dryer nobs, curtains, beds were NOT comfortable more so, one of the mattress was concaved, furnishings were in poor state. Upon checkout Housekeeper enters home at 11:15am; I understand we were running a bit over our checkout time of 11:00am. I asked her to give us 15 minutes and we would be out of the house. Minutes later about 5 more housekeepers showed up and began to clean bedrooms and bathrooms first while our group of seven 7 were trying to exit and comb house for any personal belongings that may have been left behind. Two housekeepers walked into my nephew's bedroom stay while he was putting on his pants. Emailed host Ames to NO response; later he contacted me (11:30am) with a very charging attitude, dismissive and stating "its irrelevant". We offered to pay for the 30/45/1hr of overtime at this point trying to explain to 6 housekeepers and host Ames we wasted about 45-50 minutes. BTW - Neighbors were really nice... Bad Experience with Host and Housekeepers Customer Service!
