About this house rental

Welcome to Walker Luxury Vacation Rentals, where exceptional guest experiences and premium hospitality are our top priorities. Each of our homes comes with a dedicated team of knowledgeable agents that are available 24/7. Your personal representative is not only well-versed in every detail of the home, but has likely enjoyed it with their own friends and family. They will quickly become an invaluable resource, guiding you to the best experiences and locations tailored for your group.

As modern as it is lush, the South Congress Custom House is an ideal setting for a group getaway in a pitch-perfect location. Four vibrant bedrooms sleep 14 guests total—each with either a queen or king bed (and one with a pull-out sofa to sleep two). Best of all? Our coveted South Congress location is a short walk from some of the city’s most popular restaurants and sites.

Park in your private driveway, drop your bags, and:

Find your ideal hangout spot. South Congress Custom House is a 2,600 sq. ft. industrial-chic haven with concrete counters, clean-lined furnishings and custom ironwork details. Outside, find a BBQ-ready space with a fenced yard, charcoal grill, smoker, fire pit, and leafy, serene landscaping.

Can’t decide between indoors or out? You can also have both at once: there’s also a screened side porch for enjoying Southern breezes without the direct sun. This space even has its own wet bar and a nap-worthy sectional sofa.

Easily explore two of Austin's best streets/neighborhoods. The South Congress area (aka SoCo) is undoubtably an Austin favorite—and you're right in the middle of it here. To the other side is South First, another activity-packed thoroughfare. Foodies will appreciate the range of options at their fingertips, from Torchy's Tacos to some of the city's best Thai food at Sway (both are less than a 5-minute walk away). Make a night of it and catch some live music at The Continental Club, just a 10-minute walk.

Admire some Austin originals. The South Congress Custom House is just down the street from the famed Greetings from Austin mural. But you don't even have to go that far for local art. The house itself features wall-sized murals in two of the bedrooms, plus other original art and custom design elements throughout.

Have brunch at home. Wake up refreshed, stay in your PJs, and head to the full, open-concept kitchen. The frosted cabinets are filled with everything you need to cook and eat. Mix up mimosas, slather those pancakes in syrup, and head to the dining table to feast!

Please Note - The primary bedroom contains a queen over-queen bunk bed, totaling two queen beds.

Perfect location, clean, comfy and stylish! This was the best place for a group of 4 ladies...time to be together but also time to have some space. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Feb 2023
To state first: the house is architecturally interesting and pleasing with the original art work and eclectic interior decor. So many rentals are so sterile and cold in appearance. This home was very refreshing. It was large enough for my family reunion. The location is great, within walking distance of restaurants and parks for the little kids. Having said that, there are some problems, most of which are rooted in the mismatch between a house that states it sleeps fourteen and yet the does not support anywhere near that many. We were a family of 8 adults and 5 young kids....there were only five coffee mugs(!), the dining table was small and had only six chairs and the table itself was metal, very hard and cold and no table cloth or placemats available. There were plenty of towels....but no towel racks in the bathrooms, no place to hang damp towels after showers or have washcloths hanging out after use, which seemed really odd. Several of the closets had supplies stacked in them which gave limited use, particularly the front door closet was so full of boxes of paper goods that we couldn't put our coats in there at all. It would be really helpful if the light switches could be labelled....there are a dizzying array of not very intuitive light switches all over the place. And the two upstairs bedrooms had great beds and mattresses; however the two bedrooms on the main floor each had very not comfortable ones....sagging slump in the middle, poor support, etc. And just of note: I realize that it may not be VBRO or Walker's capacity or responsibility to know but having a major house construction going on literally right next door was very loud and frequently annoying. I probably would have looked for another house had I known of that potential. But I want to be clear, I would wish you to take the mentioned issues as observations that could be improved. The house is lovely, in a great location and we had a wonderful time in Austin!
