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.

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

This location is so close to downtown Austin. The management has picked a few great areas to make our stay wonderful - filtered water ready in the fridge, super-soft bath towels. We would stay here again.
My niece and I were in town for the races and this was a nice place for us to stay. We liked having a place to relax in the evening and having a kitchen was great because we were so tired after a long hot day at the track. Comfortable beds and nice A/C and ceiling fans.

Lovely place in quiet neighborhood. The property is close distance to downtown Austin and S. Congress so convenient for all the activities and attractions. Professionally managed with good communication. Pleasant stay.
The property was within a 8 min drive to downtown ACL...it is also within a 15 to airport...it was very clean and well equipped ...generally a nice stay in comfortable nairborhood
We stayed here for 3 nights while in Austin and enjoyed our stay. Getting around the city is easy during the day and the place is in a quiet area for sleeping at night. No trouble parking or checking in and out and the host responded to all messages quickly. Great communication and great stay
I just got back from my Austin trip and was in the home for two nights. It was just as advertised and the check in process could not have been better. The home was just as advertised and clean and the neighborhood was close to so many fun things to do in Austin. GREAT location!! This house did not disappoint and my buddy and I will definitely be back for another Austin weekend!
We came down to Austin for a family wedding. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were amazing. Enough room to fit all of us. Perfect location and the owner communicated well. They made sure we made it and checked in to ensure our stay was great. Thank you!
Great home - short ride from everything you'd need!
The home is great! Very clean, felt safe the whole time, comfortable beds etc. - everything you would need.
The home is great for experiencing Austin - there just isn't much that's directly walkable from the home. Everything is only a 10-15 minute drive.
Apartment was cute. Just big enough for the 4 people staying in our party. Had friends meet before going out for the events and it was plenty of space for the whole group to gather before leaving. Hosts were responsive and helpful. The only thing to make sure of, is it is about a 15/20 min drive to downtown austin to areas like The Domain, or 6th and Congress. B
Other than that definitely worth it and we'll be back!!!
Information on the webpage is very accurate. The only not positive comment I have is about the floor. I think is the cleaning company who is missing to complete their job cleaning the floors properly; Other than that everything was great!
