Great house, great location, great host

We spent 2 months in this house. It exceeded our expectations - very comfortable and well equipped. Jackie is the perfect host - so generous and helpful. The gorgeous rooftop area offers wonderful views of the surrounding area, including downtown, and sunsets and the night sky: perfect for sundowners. I can’t recommend this more highly. We will return!

Cute and Quaint Stay

My husband and I stayed at this location to celebrate our honeymoon in Austin. We loved the home. The house is definitely filled with Texan and Austinite trinkets and decorations. The master bathroom was beautifully updated and has two sinks. It has two great rooftop decks. It’s honestly just enough space for 2-3 people. The location of the house was perfect for us. Every place that we went to was no more than a 30 minutes drive. It’s also near an HEB, liquor store, and fast food restaurants in case you need to grab some items. Communication with the owner, Jackie, was easy and consistent!

Lovely Place

Lovely house in a VERY quiet, safe neighborhood. It has everything you need plus a fabulous bathroom, comfortable bed, awesome views from the decks, and great linens. Check in and out are easy, and Jackie is easy to chat with, should you need it. If you use a ride service while there, please note that the vacation rental faces Caswell Ave, so your driver will pick you up there, not on 44th. I have stayed at vacation rentals all over the world and this is one of the best in terms of space, location, and comfort.

Awesome place!

This house looks just like the photos. It was clean and beautiful, had everything we needed including complimentary coffee, and was in a great location. Jackie, the host, was very nice, available if we needed her, and responsive when we messaged. We would definitely stay there again when we come back to Austin!

Even better than advertised!

When booking our trip to Austin my wife and I were unsure of what we'd be getting into beyond some great BBQ. This property lived up to it's billing; it was clean, comfy, and located close to all the restaurants and attractions we wanted to visit. Jackie was a wonderful host who recommended some excellent activities (the Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park is a must). If you're looking for a cozy getaway this is the way to! Thanks Jackie!

Excellent Stay!

Easily our best vacation rental experience ever - I’d give 6 stars if I could. My partner and I stayed for a full week leading up to our wedding, and it was a perfect base to get to explore Austin and prepare for the big day. The house was just so cool - the Austin-themed decor was fun, and I loved the view of downtown from the roof deck. The neighborhood is great - quiet and walkable to the grocery store and several good food options, like our favorite bakery (Quack’s). It seemed like Jackie had thought of everything, from how well the kitchen was stocked to the binder with helpful logistics and sightseeing info. She was quick to respond with any questions we had. Someday I want to live in a house as neat as this - what an awesome space!

Jackie was a fantastic host. She was quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend this property to anybody looking to visit Austin! Thanks for everything Jackie!

Jackie and her property was absolutely amazing, from start to finish. Her communication was outstanding and she provided us with a great place to stay while we were in Austin. 100% accurate listing that match the pictures located in a safe and quiet neighborhood just a few miles from UT and Downtown. Would recommend to anyone and I will definitely be back. You won’t be disappointed if you stay at Jackie’s! Don’t forget that amazing price, especially for what you get. The house is clean and stocked with everything, you could ever need. Felt like I was home away from home; that’s how it should be! Thank you again!

The property was beautiful!

Everything was really nice. The disposal & dishwasher were disappointing as you had to crawl under the sink and unplug the dishwasher? to use the disposal or maybe it was the other way around. We had to figure it out before we could use either one. The bed and couch were comfy. The neighborhood is the best. There was plenty of everything else I needed in the house. It was smaller than I expected as the photos make it look larger than it is- only 850 sf, but had two rooftop decks (I couldn't use these b/c of the wet weather). Nice place to stay.

Modern Austin

Jackie’s rental is the perfect place to stay and is located close to downtown Austin. She provides everything you need to be comfortable including Kleenex boxes in every room. The small home is very nicely decorated with all things “Texas” which adds to the fun of being there. In addition, Jackie lives on the property and is a helpful, friendly host offering tips about visiting Austin. If you are traveling to Austin, and Jackie’s home is available, do not hesitate to her home. You will not be disappointed.

Welcoming. Great property. Good location in quiet neighborhood near stores and restaurants.

Property owner is very responsive. She was accommodating and helpful. The property itself is great for 1-2 people (note there is only one bed), and the furnishings and amenities are excellent. The location is convenient to shopping and food and close to campus and downtown (5-10 min drive) while still being in a quiet neighborhood. Definitely recommend this property.

Great Place in a Great Neighborhood

This place is something else! First floor is a living area with FULL kitchen, dining and living room areas. The kitchen has everything - dishes, utensils of all kinds, etc. Upstairs is the bathroom (OMG is all I'll say) and the bedroom (king). If that's not enough to feel at home - or better - there is a HUGE balcony off the upstairs that may be 20x30. Once you are on the balcony, there is a spiral staircase to ANOTHER balcony on the roof. Each balcony has either table and chairs or just chairs. You will not go wrong here. OK, enough of that. Hyde Park is a great walking place and quiet. You can find (or walk to) eating places of most kinds within 1/4 to 1/2 mile. We walked. Downtown Austin is a 10 minute drive if the traffic isn't a mess. Take Uber and relax. To make it clear to any millennials out there, this place is craycray adorbs. We can't say anything about the TV. We never turned it on!

Photos do not do justice to this beautiful home!

This home is gorgeous and beautifully, to every detail, built, decorated and impeccably maintained. The photos do not do justice! The bed is super comfy with high-end linens, and the deck off the back on the second floor is spacious and comfortable with shade from a huge oak, the perfect place for coffee or a glass of wine. There is a luxurious jacuzzi bath and rain showerhead to complete your relaxation. We were welcomed with fresh peaches picked from the tree in the yard and boy were they sweet and delicious. Every bit of these few days exceeded our expectations and we are excited to come back soon. Least I forget? Your hosts are delightful people, who will see to it that you have everything you need or want.

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Burniske

I love travelling and meeting new people. When I travel, I enjoy staying in houses using short term rentals, like HomeAway instead of hotels. My own kitchen, easy access to the outdoors, lots of space, friendly hosts. I have stayed in short term rentals for my vacations since 2004. At that time I was living in Hawaii. My family visited the islands through short-term rentals. Molokai and Kauai were our favorites! Since then, I have stayed in short term rentals on the Outer Banks, Vermont, Massachusetts, and when I first moved back to Texas in 2009. After living on 5 continents and 5 states, I am now calling Austin my home. The city parks, varied restaurants, clubs, theater, and other entertainment provide endless new experiences. Yet, if you stay central, Austin does not feel like a big city. It's easy to bike and walk to favorite places. I love the motto, 'keep Austin weird'. I look forward to sharing information about Austin with my guests. There are so many fun places to explore!

I have two sons, a daughter-in-law, and two grandchldren, all on the east coast. I was raised in Ohio, and still have my midwestern accent.

Welcome to the Hyde Park Hip Haven! Relax, enjoy! Carpe diem!

Why they chose this property

I had a great time selecting all of the design elements of the house, from light fixtures, to tile, to furniture. I look forward to sharing my special guest house with others, to help make their Austin experience, one of a kind.

What makes this property unique

The street is extremely quiet for a central location. We have lots of dog walkers and other pedestrian traffic, as we are surrounded by dead end streets. You will love the neighborhood, Hyde Park, with many amenities within an enjoyable walk.
