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 $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. 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

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

We loved the “home” atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home. Nice, quiet neighborhood and cozy.

We enjoyed our stay. Easy check in and check out without needing to contact anyone. No issues at all, great property.

This was a super easy stay. Communication with the host was 10/10. Neighbors got pretty loud one of the nights after midnight but that was really our only hitch.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2023
My first stay on a VRBO property. Selected due to location, available beds and price. Three guys for a race wknd and we are not fussy. On the plus side modern appliances, wifi, tv, ceiling fans, ac, well prepped kitchen, neighborhood fair . On the negative uncomfortable beds, blown out couch with worse fold out bed, floor that will turn your bare feet black, toilet seat coming loose, no big towel bars and a broke small one, little evidence of outside maintenance and a driveway of busted up asphalt, dirt and potholes. Good news all that stuff is fixable. If so I would rent again.
