Retro Chic - Old Austin Charm W/ Updated Features!

Private parking, private backyard, and cool, chic decor. What more could you want for your trip to Austin? Located in Austin’s gorgeous, luxurious Old West neighborhood, this cozy 2bd/1ba house has the charm that brings so many people to Austin every day. The city’s best restaurants, bars, and sights are just a quick Uber drive away.

This house is nestled away in the back of the property for more privacy. Drive up the driveway, pull up to the fence, and you’re good to go! Enter through the keyless entry and take a deep breath. The cool, color palette in the living room and kitchen is instantly calming. A unique fridge, portable air conditioning, and mid-century modern decor offer great retro vibes but don’t worry. High-speed wifi and a smart TV bring this house into the 21st century.

Two bedrooms offer a cozy place to relax after a long day of enjoying the Live Music Capital of the World. And with such a great location, you can enjoy all of it!

Some of Austin’s best restaurants are right around the corner: Musashino, Olive and June, Kerbey Lane Cafe, Hopdoddy, Uchiko, Tacodeli, Maudie's, Draught House, Antonelli's, Food Heads, Central Market (better than Whole Foods), and much more! Have a meal before or after your hike and bike on the Shoal Creek Greenbelt - just a quick walk from the house!

This rental is fully licensed with the City of Austin (see photo of license).

Here are some distances to major attractions from the rental:
Once you’re ready to venture out and explore Austin, call an Uber (between $10-15) or take a quick drive to one of the property’s nearby attractions:
The Drag + The University of Texas at Austin - 1.4 miles

This home comes with a driveway for parking your car. Street parking is also available throughout the neighborhood.

Guests will have access to the entire space, including the private patio off the living room. The driveway is shared with the front unit of the duplex. There is one dedicated parking space in the driveway and plenty of street parking.

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 $750 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.

Located in the upscale neighborhood of West Austin, this area is characterized by its elegant homes, tree-lined streets, and well-maintained parks. Known for its serene and sophisticated living environment, the locale offers attractions such as local art galleries, high-end boutiques, and gourmet dining establishments that reflect the affluence and refined taste of the community. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the close proximity to Lady Bird Lake and other recreational areas, offering opportunities for hiking, biking, and watersports. With a harmonious blend of luxury and natural beauty, this part of Austin provides a tranquil yet vibrant lifestyle, making it a sought-after destination for those seeking both relaxation and urban excitement.

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
