King bed. King bed. Dining table. Large couch w/ bedding. Baby crib. STR licensed.

THE SPACE:

This historic and meticulously maintained South Austin bungalow provides every creature comfort you could desire:

The upstairs master bedroom includes a King bed, spacious hanging closet, ample drawer space, a large home office with desk, ergonomic chair, and whiteboard, and a wall-hung smart TV. A portable AC unit is also available for extra cooling power on those particularly hot summer days. The ensuite bathroom includes a scenic view of the backyard and pool and a walk-in, dual- headed shower.

The downstairs bedroom is similarly equipped with a King bed and wall-hung smart TV as well as two small hanging closets and ample drawer space. The ensuite bathroom includes shower-bathtub combo, a large vanity, and ample storage space.

As you enter the front door of the home, you are greeted by a spacious dining room just off the kitchen with standard seating for 4 but with sufficient space and additional seating available for groups of up to six.

Through the rustic barn door off the dining room, you will descend into a converted garage lounge that tend to be the primary in-door "hang-out" area. This space include a huge smart TV and Bluetooth vinyl record player connected to premium Elac speakers. A gorgeous leather couch can easily be converted into an additional twin sleeping bed with the extra bedding provided. A lavish bar includes a kegerator with built in taps, wine fridge, and mini fridge. Additionally, the space includes a dart board and several other games for guests' entertainment. A large glass sliding door offers beautiful views and easy access to the backyard and pool.

Through the other side of the dining room is a meticulously appointed kitchen with every culinary accessory you might need to feel right at home including William Sonoma pots, pans, and cutlery. A Keurig machine with coffee pods are provided. The home also includes an electric tea kettle and French press if for the baristas who prefer to go a bit more gourmet with their more java routine. Just off the kitchen there is a large pantry with all of your cooking and cleaning basics including spices, oils, and cleaning supplies.

On the far side of the kitchen nestled against a large picture window overlooking the backyard garden and pool is a cozy breakfast table for two with perfect lighting and the most serene setting to begin your morning.

There is also a laundry room on the main floor with stacked washer and dryer all essential cleaning supplies.

NEIGHBORHOOD:

Bouldin Creek is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Austin. It is located in the heart of South Austin between South Congress and Lamar. Bouldin Creek is centrally located around Zilker Park, Barton Springs, Downtown Austin, and South Congress. The neighborhood is very safe and walkable with world class shopping and dining minutes away. There is a top-notch convenience store called 1st Food Mart with craft beers and all essentials 2 blocks away. There are also several very popular restaurants across the street including Elizabeth St. Cafe, a local fixture for casual Vietnamese fare. My personal favorite BBQ join, Terry Black's, is a casual 0.7 mile walk from the house. I advise going at off hours if you want to avoid lines.

GETTING AROUND:

Driveway parking for one car. Ample street parking. Electric scooters are prevalent in the neighborhood. Ride shares are always available. Just a short 10 minute walk from South Congress restaurants and shopping. 1 mile to Lady Bird Lake running trail and dog park. 1.5 miles to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. 15 minute Uber ride from the airport.

Great property in a great location. It’s a fifteen minute walk to Taco Deli, Black’s BBQ, Brown’s BBQ truck (hugely underrated), and many other south Austin locations. The house was very clean, the host was very communicative and helpful, and the backyard and pool were fantastic (and very clean). Overall, an excellent place with just the right amount of south Austin charm.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
The pool and yard were a major selling point for us given that we were visiting Austin in late July. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the hangout space in the garage.

This was actually an amazing experience!! I will definitely come back.

The pool/backyard and the location were excellent. Better than anticipated. The house was clean and the beds comfortable. Furniture and most of the appliances were dated. Although, everything was functional. And again, the pool and location made the entire stay worth it.
