Guests will have access to the entire home and backyard with the pool.

Please note that while we strive to provide our guests with an enjoyable pool experience, the availability of the pool may be subject to unforeseen circumstances such as maintenance, cleaning, or other issues beyond our control. We prioritize the safety and satisfaction of our guests, and sometimes this means the pool may not be accessible during your stay. We appreciate your understanding and will do our best to ensure any impact on your stay is minimized.

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 $1,000 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.

Situated in South Austin, this area offers a rich blend of suburban comfort and urban accessibility. Known for its family-friendly neighborhoods and well-maintained parks, it is a community-oriented part of the city that appeals to a broad range of residents. The region's growing commercial scene features an array of dining and shopping options, from local eateries and boutiques to larger retail centers. The nearby recreational areas offer opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and enjoying the local green spaces. With its mix of residential tranquility and contemporary conveniences, this part of Austin represents a balanced and attractive lifestyle for those seeking both city amenities and a suburban feel.

The bus picks up a couple of blocks away but we recommend taking a rideshare. It's about $10-$15 to get downtown. 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

Perfectly peaceful.
We came to Austin to bury my husband’s mother, so we wanted to stay in a home that would allow us a place to be together, visit, reminisce and support one another. This home was perfect for the situation. The neighborhood was very peaceful.

Overall, the house is OK. Ckean, but everything is in pretty shabby shape. The backyard is in terrible shape. Does not look anything like the photo on the listing.

Great property!
We chose this property due to its proximity to extended family in South Austin and its ability to accommodate our large family (5 adults, one teen). It suited us perfectly. The host was attentive and handled a couple of small issues with ease. Note: the waterfall into the pool is disconnected, so you won’t get the same experience shown in the pictures.

Place was in need of maintenance.
Lots of small things in need of repair. 1/4 gap under exterior door in the master bedroom, both sinks backed up and drained very slowly. Toilet in master bath would run until you messed with the handle. Missing part of handle to shower valve.

Enjoyable stay
My 4 children and I enjoyed our stay. The house was very nice, clean and had just what we needed. Rooms were all good size and plenty of space for everyone to have their own comfy bed. Great space to just enjoy being on vacation. The pool was just the right size for fun and relaxing. Lots of towels and floats. My family wished we had more days to stay. The host kept in contact and was very helpful when needed.

Great spot for a group trip!
This was a great house for our friend group that was visiting Austin! The host was very prompt in replies and very communicative throughout the stay. The beds were super comfy and the house had an awesome, big couch for everyone to gather. Our one complaint was the AC not working the best. The house never cooled off below 75 so with a bigger group and cooking in the kitchen it got a bit hot but I’m sure this was out of the hosts control. Overall a great pick! The pool was a great perk as well along with a great floatie selection
