South Congress Living w/ Gorgeous Porch & Backyard

Welcome to your chic urban retreat nestled in the heart of Austin's vibrant cultural scene! This stylish and modern three-bedroom house, located in Austin's most desirable neighborhood, promises a blend of comfort, style, and convenience that perfectly accommodates up to eight guests.

We have an expansive 360 tour of this space - check it out by scanning the QR code in the image gallery. You can use the floor plan or the navigation bar at the bottom to explore the house. Also, if you go to an outdoor space, look up, and click the cloud with the arrow, then you will also get a tour of Austin! Enjoy!

As soon as you step inside, you'll be captivated by the lively living room, where indoor plants add a vibrant touch, complementing the artful decor. Comfortable queen sleeper sofa, a coffee table, and a couple bucket chairs center around a large smart TV and state-of-the-art sound system. Music lovers will delight in the guitar adorning the wall, adding an authentic Austin vibe to the space.

Adjacent to the living room, the dining area exudes charm, with built-in shelves filled with an array of bar glasses and quirky knick-knacks. A dining table for four invites intimate gatherings, while an additional four seats at the kitchen counter make room for lively breakfasts or casual conversations over coffee. Your culinary adventures await in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with all the essentials plus a dishwasher and a pantry for all your food storage needs.

The adventure continues down the hallway, leading you to a spacious backyard: a private oasis featuring a deck, a fenced-in grassy area, a dining table, and plenty of shade for those sun-soaked Austin afternoons.

Inside, the primary bedroom is a sanctuary of comfort and relaxation. A plush king bed, two dressers, room-darkening curtains, an en-suite bathroom with a shower, ample closet space, a smart TV, and the luxury of hotel-quality linens guarantee a restful night's sleep.

The remaining two bedrooms feature cozy queen beds, wrapped in custom luxury hotel-quality linens, and ample closet space for your belongings. A fully stocked bathroom in the hallway, equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers, caters to the needs of all guests.

Free street parking is available nearby for your convenience. And the cherry on top? Major attractions are just a brisk walk away! Our chic urban home is more than just a place to stay—it's your gateway to an authentic Austin experience! Step inside, and let the city's charm sweep you off your feet.

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

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.

Located in South Austin, this lively and eclectic neighborhood is known for its unique blend of creativity and culture. The area boasts a diverse range of attractions, including the famous South Congress Avenue (SoCo), where locals and visitors can find an array of boutique shops, art galleries, music venues, and a wide variety of dining options. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby parks and trails that offer opportunities for hiking, biking, and enjoying the scenic views of the city. With a mix of historic charm and modern flair, the neighborhood attracts a youthful and artistic crowd, providing a vibrant urban experience. Overall, this part of Austin is a hotspot for anyone seeking to explore the heart and soul of the city's distinctive culture and 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

Girls weekend
This was an ideal home to house 4 adult women for a long weekend. We were down to attend the Austin Food and Wine festival which was just a short walk to the grounds. The house was clean, beds were quite comfortable, AC was good, and although we never ate a meal at the house, it seemed well stocked. It was within walking distance to lots of restaurants and some cute shops. Communication was good with the rental agency.

The property was great. I wish the back yard had been cut so that we could enjoy the outdoors more. Everything was just as shown and yhe location was awesome. Was able to get around driving or walking with jo problem. Only issue was the floors were not as clean, and it may be because the cleaning crew was running behind. Thank you for allowing us access to your property. Great girls trip.

Wonderful Stay
Conveniently located just 10 minutes from downtown Austin, as well as a short walk to the bus tiling Congress Ave, this cozy abode was a great place to stay. Clean with great indoor and outdoor space. As mentioned above, a short walk to the numerous shops and eateries on Congress Ave too. Communication with the property manager was easy and open. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Prime location, clean and spacious
Family of 5 visited Austin in April. We were very pleased with this house. Spacious, clean, great amenities. Loved having a backyard to hang out and eat. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. So nice for a family to have a kitchen to cook and store food. Location is amazing! We were to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. A car is not required in such a walkable neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Beautiful neighborhood. All around pleased guests. Oh, it can get hot in Austin but the A/C works super well!

The property was very nice. The host was extremely polite and helpful. The location was great for us as we could navigate easily to our destinations. When we took the plastic bag out of the kitchen trash can, it was FILTHY. The only other issue, for us, was not enough wash cloths and hand towels. I would recommend this property for sure Jane Joseph

Great Location
The location was great, close to South Congress and 1st Ave. We walked to shops and restaurants and also walked to Lake Austin. The grocery store is a few minutes away by car. Driving everywhere was easy. We parked in the driveway which was convenient. The street is quiet and pretty. On the inside everything worked well. The rooms were comfy. Kitchen had everything. Plants were in need of some watering.

Great rental
Rental was very comfortable, clean and in a great location for Austin. With the rental being just off of South Congress, there were many restaurant options and shopping within walking distance. The neighborhood felt very safe. Highly recommend The Salty which was a short distance from the rental for gourmet donuts and coffee. If you are arriving earlier than checkin, there is an option for you to store your luggage for an extremely reasonable rate and is located just a couple blocks from the rental. My recommendation is to get that exact location of temporary storage from the property manager. We were a little unclear as to the process and the location of the storage is a business right on Congress street. Highly recommend the LBJ Library if you are interested in history and strolling around the beautiful state capitol grounds. Also recommend visiting wine country just west of Austin. William Chris Vineyards outside of Fredericksburg is a beautiful winery definitely worth visiting. BBQ choices were overwhelming in this great city! We did experience County Line BBQ on the lake and it was absolutely delicious! When in season, seeing the bats emerge from the Congress bridge from a boat on the Colorado River at dusk is an awesome experience. To summarize, I would recommend this rental for an Austin visit!

Me and my family had an amazing time. We came to Austin for motorcycle racing at COTA. A friend told us to stay in the South Congress area, because there was lots to do and it wasn’t far from the track. We found this great house and it was a perfect location. You are so close to great restaurants and cute shops while having a lot of privacy. The house was great, it was clean and had every amenity we needed. Ames was amazing to deal with.

Great spot in a great location!
We didn't really get to spend a ton of time at the property since we were in Austin for a work event. That being said, the location couldn't have been much better - super close to all of the fun South Congress spots. The house is very cute and clean, with plenty of room throughout. Great for a group of friends or couples. The yard looked really cute - if we had more time and if it wasn't 120 degrees, we definitely would have hung out there!
