This is Southeast Austin done right. Super close to South Congress, Riverside, and Downtown! Don't miss the super popular Whip In eclectic bar, convenience store, and Indian fusion restaurant nearby!

This is a great place for launching your Austin adventure or staying in town for that business meeting or conference. The location is excellent with easy access to South Congress, Riverside, and Downtown. The apartment fits 6 people comfortably with 2 in the large bedroom (king bed), 2 in the second bedroom (queen size bed), and 2 on the comfy living room sleeper sofa (queen size).

Work from home or keep the family entertained at home with high speed wifi and a smart TV. Stream your favorites on Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and more!

Here are some distances to major attractions from the rental:
Downtown - 4 miles
Airport - 6 miles
Zilker Park - 4 miles
Circuit of the Americas Race Track - 8 miles
Austin Convention Center - 3 miles
University of Texas - 4 miles
St. Edwards University - 2 miles
South Congress District - 2 miles

Guests will have access to the entire apartment plus the patio. Mabel Davis District Park, which has fishing piers, picnic shelters, playgrounds, softball fields, and Austin's first public skate park is a 6 minute walk away. We also have the Country Club Creek Trail equally as close, which has a great running/hiking/biking trail that connects to many of the other parks around Austin.

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.

Situated in the southeastern part of Austin, this area embodies a vibrant and diverse community. Known for its accessibility to downtown Austin, this location offers a mix of residential and commercial properties, with a range of housing options suitable for various budgets. The neighborhood is enriched by its cultural diversity, reflected in the variety of eateries, shops, and local businesses that provide a global flair. Several parks and green spaces provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, contributing to a friendly community atmosphere. Its strategic location near key transportation hubs, and proximity to both urban excitement and the serenity of Lady Bird Lake, make this area an appealing and dynamic part of Austin.

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) No pets allowed
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

Not what I expected
The property seemed a lot better online. Every bed was uncomfortable and hard to sleep on. The queen was squeeky and not the greatest. The king felt like it was sinking in all night long. Not enjoyable at all for a vacation rental. The sofa bed was extremely hard to put in and out. We went to go grab the mattress cushion in the closet and found a HUGE roach on it. After that, I was ready to leave. The neighbors have a rooster that would nonstop go off throughout the day and early morning. Parking wasn't the greatest but we just parked on the street and it was fine. We barely understood how to use the thermostat and I called to see if we could get some help but no answer. It was set to a heat setting... It's 90 degrees outside. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest either. Honestly, not worth it. The instructions before leaving were even more head-scratching. Asking us to do this and that, even after paying a cleaning fee? Did not make sense to us.

Sketchy Neighborhood
The one good thing about the Matador B is that the pictures do look like the house in real life. The interior wasn't bad. My complaint about the inside was the dust level, especially in the closets. There were clouds of dust on the closet floors which makes you wonder how clean the house really is. My main gripe about this place is the neighborhood. I was very hesitant to even stay there as was worried about our personal safety and our vehicle. There were no parking spaces for us on Saturday. There were 3 cars already parked in the driveway from unit A. There are cars parked all along the street. I emailed management and was advised to park on the grass. I contemplated just getting a hotel and forfeiting the money already spent. I would never stay here again.

Conveniently located about 15 minutes or less from everything my group and I wanted to do in the city. Property is clean and identical to photos. We enjoyed our house as much as we enjoyed our trip as a whole! Ames and Camille were timely and accommodating when replying to messages.

Our stay at the Matador B was great. The home was clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. The only suggestion I have is to replace the couch, it has a few stains that made me not want to sit on it.

Disappointing - Don’t stay here
Your ad states you sleep 6, so I expect to find enough flat-wear for 6, but I didn’t. Your house only provided 4 plates, which I wasn’t prepared for my first night there; we had 5 people stay. The house was very scarcely stocked; they had nothing; not even coffee. The A/C wouldn’t connect to the WiFi the first night and it stayed 79 for many hours. The owner was very helpful to resolve that, though. But be advised, it’s a WiFi ran system... The neighbors have weird animals, goats and chickens it sounded like and they made noises all night and early morning hours. It was also infested with gnats, I mean hundreds. The property mgr did come place traps halfway through our visit but it didn’t help. They were everywhere and got into our food we brought and had in the kitchen counter. They only had one TV in the whole house, in the living room. Also the entire house didn’t have a single clock. It was just a bad experience.

Good value
This location is not much to look at from the outside but has a very nice, clean, comfortable and well designed interior. The neighborhood itself is transitional but close to the South Congress area of shops and restaurants and fairly close to downtown. It’s a good value.

Cute design and space however, not the best option. 1) check in and out are solely for the owner; you can check in anytime they see fit AFTER 3pm (which is not what says when you are booking) but must be out at exactly 11am or they threaten to immediately charge you another night. They also email to see if you will leave early so then can “clean” 2) this location has a strong and rank body odor smell that they acknowledge with “sorry, we don’t smell it” and don’t offer to fix 3) couch is stained and a strong contributor to the rank body odor smell; had to use a sheet to use 4) kitchen floor had such a large sticky spot it nearly took my sock off which takes me back to statement 1 “clean”??? 5) dirty washcloth hanging on hook in bathroom for our arrival 6) no cleaners for our use, due to above mentioned we went and got cleaners and cleaned at our expense and time 7) listed as with washer and dryer; very misleading as it is not within the unit but attainable with lock box key under kitchen sink and to the left of their other unit (A) in a locked garage. Really? When questioned this piece told it was in House Manual. No manual in listing and online listing does not mention that either 8) they do provide a coffee pot but no coffee; fine just be clear in your listing - another trip to the store 9) secondary bedroom mattress sits on top a plastic base which makes any movement very loud and comes with a crusty stain on the comforter offered 10) heavy police presence at night just a door away 11) booked through AirBNB and as they advised all communication for our safety should be used through it but owners seemed confused that we were following that; codes didn’t match to access this unit had to reach out again 12) finally, stresses how much cleaning they do and this is the most distressing. The bed sheets were changed & trash was taken out (which you have to do or they charge you for their time to clean) but that’s it. I believe we are due cleaning refund

Perfectly Perfect Stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this charming little duplex - it was clean, well-stocked, and a great central location for a few day trips (we hit Magnolia in Waco, Georgetown, Fredericksburg & a friend’s food truck in Hutto). Camille checked in to make sure we’d arrived safely and that we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend!
