About this property

Backyard Resort Retreat | Pool, Spa & Cinema • 5

Private boutique-style retreat with a resort-style backyard | Sleeps 5 with pool, hot tub, and outdoor movie screen just minutes from TCU, Magnolia, and Dickies Arena.
Designed for couples and small groups who want a calm, design-forward stay that actually feels like a getaway.

Tucked behind a 1924 home and completely reimagined, the property sits in one of Fort Worth’s most connected neighborhoods, just minutes from TCU, Dickies Arena, the Cultural District, and Magnolia Avenue. Most guests book it for the location. They remember it for the way it feels.

The Experience

This is where days slow down and evenings stretch.
Start your morning with coffee on the balcony overlooking the pool.
Spend the afternoon in the water or lounging in the sun.
End the night with a movie outside, with the pool lighting everything around you.

It is calm.
It is easy.
And it is designed to be stayed in, not rushed through.

Inside the Studio

The layout is open, efficient, and intentional.
A king bed, queen pullout sofa, and twin bed sleep up to five comfortably. A full kitchen, dining space, and large sectional connect naturally, creating a flow that feels easy and unforced.

The coffee bar is fully equipped with French press, pour-over, grinder, and Keurig.
High-speed WiFi reaches every corner of the property, both indoors and out.

Outdoor Living

Most properties this size treat outdoor space as an afterthought. Here, it is the main event—and the reason people come back.

A resort-style pool with waterfall and tanning deck anchors the backyard.
The hot tub, fire pit, covered dining area, and Blackstone grill extend the experience.
A permanent outdoor movie screen turns evenings into something memorable.

Multiple lounge areas are spread throughout, including a private balcony overlooking the pool. For a Fort Worth stay at this size and price point, the outdoor setup is uncommon.

Location

The Style Studio sits in one of Fort Worth’s most connected and walkable neighborhoods, just minutes from Magnolia Avenue, South Main, TCU, and the Cultural District.

TCU is approximately 5 minutes away.
Dickies Arena and the Cultural District are about 10 minutes away.
The Stockyards and Fort Worth Zoo are about 15 minutes away.
DFW Airport is approximately 30 minutes away.

Coffee shops, brunch destinations, wine bars, and local Fort Worth favorites are all within easy reach.

Beautiful Rental Property

This rental is beautifully decorated, and immaculately clean.The neighborhood is really pretty and the yard / pool area is really well maintained. We rented a car and had no trouble getting around the Fort Worth areaI felt safe the entire trip. We even had time for a quick dip in the pool our last night!One caution - there are steps into to the unit, so if that is a concern, be aware.

The Style Studio is the perfect indoor/outdoor oasis in the heart of the city. The garage apartment is so well appointed, with amazing decorative touches, gorgeous open living, and a king-size bed that feels like sleeping in the clouds. The backyard, with its pool, hot tub, and multiple seating areas, is indeed resort-like. The rental and its amenities are very close to the main house, but the owners were respectful of my being in the backyard every day during my stay. The only downside was it was very hard to communicate with the owners while I was there. It was my first time using the VRBO platform, so I'm not sure if it was a technical glitch, but we seemed not to be able to receive each other's messages. This led to some misses, like being able to use the hot tub and having burned out light bulbs replaced, but there were no major emergencies, and the sheer beauty and relaxation of the place made up for any minor inconveniences. I would love to return especially during the summer again. Thank you for a really wonderful stay and escape from the stresses of work and everyday life, particularly for a milestone birthday like I was celebrating.

Your Own Little Oasis Close to Everything Fort Worth!

The attention to detail in this little guesthouse is incredible! All of the little decorating touches here are so creative. We did not get to use it, but the pool area is as beautiful as the pictures make it look! Everything was clean and neat, and the owners are quick to respond with any questions! I would 100% make this a go-to place to stay anytime I had a chance to go to this area.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this property! It was impeccably clean, quiet and perfect for our days in Ft. Worth. We would definitely stay here again! We really enjoyed the pool and the provided towels and floaties were fantastic. The beds were extremely comfortable so we slept great!! The garage was not available during our stay but the owners allowed us to park in their driveway instead of in the alley, which was much appreciated. I had to ask for how to access the property which is why the check in process was a lower rating. It would have been nice to have automatically received the information without having to ask. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Great property for a stay near TCU. Very comfortable, owners very responsive and wanted to make sure everything was great. Would definitely stay again but it is important to know that this is a guest house over the garage. Full use of backyard area while there and that space is as amazing as the pics show.
