About this property

Pool, HotTub, Magic School Bus! 5 mins to Downtown

Summary:
With a Magic School Bus that would have even Mrs. Frizzle jealous, this space is the ultimate rental for old friends and new, in one of the best cities in America, Austin. The fun never stops in ATX, and neither does the poolside BBQ. With a pool, hot tub, putt-putt, BBQ grill, and corn hole, you’ll feel like you’re back in college, minus the cheap liquor and instant noodle diet of course. Less than a mile from East 6th Street bar this space puts you right in the action. 16 Guest capacity.

This is a truly awe-inspiring space and one you’ll never forget, depending on how many drinks you plan to have. Whether you’re swimming in the pool, lounging in the spa, or playing in the school bus, this rental puts the A+ in Austin... ok that didn’t really work but you get it. Also, no actual partying we have to be respectful of the neighbors.

With 8 bedrooms and 13 beds plus a queen pull out sofa-bed, You won’t have to leave anyone out for your fun-filled Austin vacay. Well, sort of. Two of the bedrooms are Harry Potter style, meaning converted closets, which means you’ll be able to show your friends who’s truly most important (just kidding). Less than a mile from the bars, and walking distance to the grocery store, you’ll be near to everything you need to make this weekend getaway one for the books!

Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side because it’s fake - so let’s talk about the turf yard. We’ve got lawn games and putt-putt golf to keep you entertained, plus a giant outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi hot tut. But sorry, no lifeguard on duty. Oh, and if you're a sun worshipper, we've got prime poolside recliners ready to give you that bronzed glow while you soak up the rays.

For some camping vibes, cozy up by the outdoor fire-pit. Think fireside chats, s'mores, and all of the bonding with none of the sleeping on the ground. But what's up with that school bus, you ask? No big deal, just a custom painted, hollowed out lounge complete with big screen TV.

But we're not shallow - we know it's what's on the inside that counts. So we filled this 16-guest capacity house with all the selfie backdrops you can handle. Each room is filled with cool art and unique lighting that will make your pics pop!

Moving onto the fully equipped kitchen, which has got new stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), lots of marble topped counter space, and all the tools you need in there! Ice maker? Check. Blender? Double check. Did someone say Margaritas?! And when you’re done taking pics in front of the plant wall, head on into any of the 8-bedrooms for more gram-worthy photo ops!

Vacation envy is real - book your stay today!

The Neighborhood:
Go east, young man (or woman). Austin’s hippest businesses are moving farther and farther in that direction, and Govalle has swiftly become an area that deserves one of your sunny afternoons.

Located between Webberville Road and Airport Boulevard, the neighborhood started as a cattle ranch in the 1850s. Swedish entrepreneur Swen Magnus Swenson used the Govalle ranch as a way to help more Swedes settle in Texas. He would pay for fellow countrymen to come to the U.S., and in exchange they would work on his ranch. If you want to sound like a local, then you’ll say Go-Valley, which is Swedish for “good grazing land.” These days, Govalle is a great neighborhood to grab a bite to eat, get a few drinks and even see some amazing art by local painters, sculptors and creators of all stripes.

Govalle is jam-packed with tons of cool mom-and-pop businesses. On Tillery Street, just south of Seventh, is a trendy outdoor coffee trailer, Filch. One of East Austin’s most insta-worthy sites is just up the road under the Seventh Street overpass. A few blocks north is a business campus that houses Createscape coworking, where a lot of Austin writers, filmmakers, techies and a variety of other self-employed professionals rent a desk or snag a daily hot seat. On the same property is a CBD shop that periodically hosts block parties and Squatch Frontier Fitness. This is the gym where your trainer works out.

Since Austin is such an outdoorsy city, and there are so many popular parks around town, many Govalle residents don’t even realize what an amazing surprise awaits them at the southeastern tip of the neighborhood. The Colorado River Preserve is a 43-acre parcel of pristine dry and wetland habitats. There's even a designated wildlife viewing area.

Other Things to Note:

Great Photos/Poorly Managed and Maintained

The property was clean, but several things were poorly maintained and not as described. We booked this space to enjoy the hot tub and weather, but all the lights over the outdoor space were not functional. We contacted the hosts around sunset on Friday to tell them this, and we were assured that it would be fixed the following day. No one came to resolve this issue, even after contacting the host multiple times, so the backyard was pitch black by sunset around 5:45 p.m. Needless to say, we were not able to properly enjoy the yard games, hot tub, etc. As for the poor management and maintenance, the fridge regularly leaked onto the floor, the thermostats continuously reset to 74 degrees, which I can only assume was intentional, and the house has settling issues, where the back door would not close without the deadbolt. This listing states that there are eight bedrooms, but understand that this is because they converted all of the closets into sleeping areas by placing small beds, making this space much better for families with children than adults. This property is also within 50 feet of a very noisy road, so I would highly advise looking elsewhere if you are a light sleeper.

Perfect House for Austin Bachelor Party

We stayed here for an Austin bachelor party and it was great. The house was very convenient to the bars downtown and a short drive to the airport. The house was clean, spacious, had a ton of beds, perfect for a large group. The backyard was great including the pool and hot tub. The host was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. Would highly recommend for large groups visiting Austin.

Rave Stay

Myself and 7 others stayed here and it was just amazing. We went to a festival and then after the festival we were able to come back here and chill in the tub and bus and just unwind. It was amazing really. It’s been hard adjusting back to reality after we left lol! Thank you for the stay it was AMAZING!
