As you step into this meticulously designed residence, you're greeted by a bright and welcoming dining room, setting the tone for a stay that's both relaxing and invigorating. With 1286 square feet of elegantly utilized space, this home comfortably sleeps 8 guests across three beautifully appointed bedrooms and a cozy sleeper sofa, ensuring ample room for families, friends, or even remote workers looking for a change of scenery. The thoughtful design of each room creates a unique and inviting atmosphere, where every detail, from the custom luxury hotel linens on each bed to the unique tile in the primary bathroom, adds to the overall charm and character of the space.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the living room invites you to unwind with a large smart TV and high-speed WiFi, perfect for streaming your favorite shows or staying connected. The inclusion of extra linens and bedding for the sleeper sofa ensures that every guest enjoys a comfortable and restful night's sleep.

Outdoor living is redefined here, with a spectacular covered screened-in patio that offers a serene oasis for relaxation or social gatherings. Beyond the patio, a large fenced-in backyard with a firepit and seating awaits, providing the perfect backdrop for evening entertainment or a peaceful retreat under the stars.

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.

Nestled in Central Austin, this area seamlessly blends historic charm with a lively urban vibe. With its proximity to the University of Texas, it's a hub for students, faculty, and young professionals, offering a wide array of dining, entertainment, and shopping venues. The neighborhood is adorned with charming bungalows, tree-lined streets, and community parks, providing a comfortable residential environment. The rich cultural diversity of the area is reflected in its unique boutiques, art galleries, and local eateries, making it an exciting place to explore. Combining the energetic spirit of the city with a cozy neighborhood feel, this part of Austin represents a distinctive and appealing lifestyle.

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) Feel free to inquire about bringing your dogs along. We allow a maximum of two small dogs, each weighing 35 lbs or less. Unfortunately, cats are not permitted. There is a one-time pet cleaning fee of $85. Please inform us in advance if you plan to bring a dog so we can prepare the necessary cleaning supplies to eliminate allergens before the next guest arrives. If we do not receive notice at least 48 hours before your check-in, the fee will be $105. While staying with us, dogs must be crated when left alone, should not climb on furniture, and must not be left outside unattended. Owners are responsible for any damages caused.
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

Great Austin rental
The property was perfectly located for our needs--very near our daughter's house. The house was super clean, well decorated, and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will use this house again if it is available. Loved the screened in porch!!

The place is great and super comfortable. You cannot beat the location. The coffee shop around the corner and the bagel shop a short drive away make it a great place!

Hyde Park Hideaway
I was in Austin to move my adult son. The location was very near where my son was moving and to where my daughter already lives. It was a quiet street but within walking distance to lots of cute shops, bars, and restaurants. The house itself, was even better than expected! So cozy and charming with plenty of room for my family. We enjoyed the covered patio and the outdoor seating as well. I would definitely stay here again!

Hyde Park area of Austin
The property is close to everything in Austin in a typical eclectic near to downtown neighborhood. The house was clean and recently upgraded and had plenty of room for my wife and 8 year old grand daughter. While the combo to the front door didn't work, VRBO was quick to answer the phone and remotely unlock the door. But we didn't receive a working combo until the next day. The HVAC had a smart thermostat that we and the care taker couldn't figure out until the next day and it was a cold night. We would stay there again because of the location and now we know how to work the thermostat.
