This Austin home is overflowing with charm. Spacious interiors and soaring ceilings guarantee you a modern, comfortable stay. Your charming vacation home is situated in Austin’s historic Travis Heights neighborhood, located just a half mile from shopping, dining, and nightlife on South Congress Avenue. Snap a photo in front of the iconic “I love you so much” mural. In the evening, head to the legendary Continental Club for some foot-stomping performances, and discover why Austin is known as the “Live Music Capital of the World”.
Custom woodwork and rugs add character throughout this two-story home. Spend time on the upper balcony overlooking the Travis Heights neighborhood. Make use of the covered patio and fire pit in the lush backyard. The open-concept living area offers a welcoming space where guests can socialize or watch TV. Come together for movie nights in the upstairs media room, featuring a streaming-capable TV, a surround sound system, and an upper balcony overlooking beautiful Travis Heights. When you’ve worked up an appetite, prepare family meals in a large kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances - including a French door fridge, double oven, and gas range. The wood cabinets are fully stocked with all the necessary cookware and gadgets. Eat together inside or dine alfresco on the covered patio with overhead lighting and ceiling fans. After dinner, treat yourself to s’mores around the fire pit with stone bench seating.
In the evenings, head upstairs to your private primary suite with a walk-in closet. On the main level, one guest bedroom has full-length windows and a TV, and another has a sophisticated four-poster bed and TV. One guest bathroom has a glass walk-in shower, while another features custom tiling, a double-sink vanity, and a walk-in shower.

The only thing we could not figure out was the upstairs tv. We could not get it to work. The other tvs were very small but we were nit in the house that much during the day so it was ok. House Is gorgeous. Perfect location and tons of room. Will definitely come back.

Dont judge a book by its cover
Although this property was very clean it had numerous issues starting with the main floor bedroom and bath. The bed is unsleepable and feels like it has shifting plates of rock. The shower head was not operable. The upstairs shower was also not operable because entry into the shower was hindered by a non operstional shower door. The patio furniture does not match the pictures which others have mentioned. Fan in main room amd many lightd were out. Also, the fact that you uave to walk around the house to enter and go over rocks and pavers is not suitable for the elderly or anyone with disabilities. Ladtly, the seating looks attractive but is very uncomfortable for just sitting and talking.

Great get-away
What a beautiful house. We were able to walk to SoCo and enjoy the retail and restaurants. The house has a lovely peaceful garden to sit and listen to the birds and relax with some coffee and visit with friends. The property has all the amenities we needed and comfortable beds too. We will be back! This place is truly a gem!

Happy with our stay
The home was just as described (by owner and reviews). I like how the bedrooms were on different ends and levels of the house. We were only there for 3 nights so we didn't have much need for some of the extra living areas.
I think it's a great space for families of all ages. We had two young children (3 & 7) so the back yard was not ideal since it has no lawn space. The patio furniture was a folding table and chairs. It would have been a much nicer with more comfortable outdoor furniture. Nevertheless we gathered outside and enjoyed the space.
The home was very clean. The sleep number beds were great. They missed on stocking of dish washer detergent and garbage bags. We didn't cook except for breakfast but we had what we needed.
We had no problems with the water but renters need to read about how it works to understand it.
The location was great. It is within walking distance from the main strip with lots of restaurants and shops.
The daily rate was reasonable but I thought the fees were high. Fees were more than the lodging portion.
I was happy with our stay and with the right group would stay again (especially if the outdoor seating was improved).

Fun Austin Retreat
Spacious, beautiful and well appointed property. Located within walking distance of many venues, bars and restaurants, with rideshares galore readily available as well. The management company responded rapidly to the small problem we had concerning the house not being ready when we arrived and sent a team to rectify the problem.
