What's nearby:
The nearby Red Bud Isle is a short one-mile drive away and it's the perfect place to go if you bring a pup along with you. It's a marvelous lakefront off-leash dog park with 13 acres of recreational space, plus hiking, canoeing, and kayaking! One of the most charming places nearby you can visit is the Oyster Landing Marina, which is a short half-a-mile drive away from your home. It's a nice place to come and enjoy the sunset by the hill. Open up your laptop by the water at Mozart's Coffee Roasters (dog-friendly patio), get your margarita on at Hula Hut, or enjoy a meal at Abel's on the Lake watching the boats come in and out of the dock. You'll be four miles away from the bustling heart of Austin and all of its dining options, live music, comedy dancing, and more!

Townhome

Overall location is nice area. Home is older, clean however the walls are paper thin. We could hear every moment in the connecting townhome. The parking is also very constricted, if you have a larger car or full size SUV I wouldn’t suggest trying to park in the covered parking provided. It is down a narrow steep hill behind the home. Overall it was decent.we only slept and showered there.

spacious home in beautiful, quiet neighborhood

This is the perfect retreat for a family or a few couples looking to relax near downtown Austin. We loved the sunroom and living room for hanging out. It's just a few minutes to the wonderful Mozart's Cafe and a few more to Deep Eddy Pool. We brought our small dog with us and he loved our walks near the lake.

Graduation Trip

This was college graduation weekend for our youngest daughter. My family stayed for two nights. This property is in a very nice, quiet neighborhood 10 minutes from UT and very near to everything. The property was well stocked and clean when we arrived. We had a very pleasant stay and the owners communicated promptly. The only issue I had was a musty odor in the downstairs living area. Also, the morning of our arrival we were informed the vanity lights in the downstairs bedroom’s bath didn’t work and they couldn’t get an electrician out to fix it before our arrival. I know things break and it being a Friday, handymen are hard to round up. Just made it a little inconvenient for dressing for graduation festivities. I would stay here again if need arises and would recommend it to anyone considering this property.

Tarrytown retreat

We would have given a 4-5 rating but we were with 6 people and one of the two bathrooms had no electricity and the bathtub/shower didn’t drain, rendering one bathroom basically unusable. I called when we checked in to get someone to come out to repair. No one came. Called the next morning, no one came and no one contacted me. texted Vacasa the third morning, told the problem would be expedited. Again no one came and no one called. We checked out the next morning with still nothing working. It could have been great stay, it was a great location reasonably appointed etc. But I don’t recommend this house or Vacasa. Being unresponsive when there is a problem is a non-starter for me

Nice, quiet retreat

We came to Austin for the Depeche Mode concert and the Texas/Kansas game. After the crowds and the noise, this house was exactly what we needed - it was quiet and relaxing. The perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city!

Don't Be Fooled By The Pictures

Looking at the pictures the place looks great, but the rental was actually pretty old and dusty when we arrived. We were able to get in via the back door with the code (as instructed/intended), but discovered that the front door was left unlocked while doing our initial walk-through. The entire rental had a moldy & musty smell and, to our surprise, we found dried up feces in the dining room. Also, the furniture definitely needed some TLC or updates. There were a few wooden tiles in the kitchen that were broken/loose as well. Positives: - spacious - good location - quiet/safe neighborhood - pet friendly - fully stocked kitchen - reasonably priced

NCAA track and field championship visit

Overall the property was conveniently located but we had a few problems. Upstairs AC did not work the last 2 days. Saw a few bugs.and overall needs some TLC.We feel as though we should recieve some compensation for the AC issue.

Tarrytown Vacation

The absolute best part of this vacation rental was the neighborhood. This condo is located near three restaurants on the waterfront and is a nice walk to this area. The location of this condo in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood in western Austin, only minutes from downtown and our favorite shops in the Arboretum. We were very happy with Tarrytown. It left us with a secure feeling while visiting Austin. The interior of this condo is spacious, clean, and relaxing, but updating is needed to the interior (just paint in the dining room and dining room chair repairs). The glass roofed area is appealing, but the trees need to be trimmed and the exterior glass roof needs to be cleaned… tho would probably eliminate the moldy smell in the sunroom. Fortunately, the french doors can be closed between the sunroom and the living room. The facility comes with a washer and dryer, which makes vacation time easier. The bedrooms are quite large and comfortable. The walkout patio can be accessed from the carport area and the primary upstairs bedroom. The location above the carport makes it a quiet place to talk with friends or read. As most reviews of this condo mentioned, the carport and kitchen entrance is off of a dead-end alley. There are two stalls that make it a bit difficult for a larger vehicle to access, but backing a small car into the space is not difficult. Plus, there is street parking and a front entrance into the condo. This was a good choice for us.

Good location - convenient

We were in town for graduation. The location was perfect - not far from campus but not in the middle of traffic. The neighborhood is charming. I highly recommend walking around it. The house worked for us. The accommodations were comfortable and spacious. As other reviewers have mentioned, the parking spaces are tight and the house does smell musty. We had no problem with the king bed. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc. We did walk to Mozarts and later Hula Hut. They are .6 miles away.
