Fantastic Stay – Perfect for SXSW & Great Neighborhood!
Our group had an incredible stay at this VRBO! The home is in a fantastic neighborhood—safe, quiet, and just minutes from all the SXSW action. It was the perfect home base for exploring Austin, with easy access to downtown, Rainey Street, and other hotspots.The house itself is beautifully designed, spacious, and super clean. The pool was a huge bonus, and we loved the stylish backyard with the Instagram-worthy mural. Everything was well-stocked, and the hosts made check-in a breeze.If you're coming for SXSW or just visiting Austin, this rental is a top-notch choice. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!

Work trip
Three co-workers stayed for a week on a work trip. Each of us had a private bedroom and bathroom. House is well stocked and comfortable. And the location is fantastic-very close to town. I'll stay here again in the future.

50th Birthday Celebration
Absolutely Beautiful House and Great Location!! The house is exactly as the pictures indicate. The Luxe house is spacious, all the rooms have plenty of space. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, so it was wonderful outside by the pool the entire weekend. The house is well stocked with everything you will need so if you forget something… no worries the house probably has it!!

Stay at Luxe Yard
The pictures do not let you down - this house and backyard are gorgeous! Check in process was seamless, hosts reached out to ensure everything was up to our standards, and we had no complaints!
Only side note is to be sure that you read the fine print as I did not realize when booking that the 4th bedroom listed with 2 twin beds is just the upstairs living area :)

Great stay in Austin
Great, clean property! The house is a duplex so I would keep that in mind if you are looking for something more private or secluded. We would recommend this location for families! House was clean and management was fast to reply to questions. Early check-in does require payment as well. Overall, we enjoyed the pool and there were many floats already there!
