About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Unique Eastside Container Home - Near UT, Train & Downtown

Welcome to Eastside Container, a sleek and modern guest home converted from a shipping container in Central East Austin. This is a fully functional home with a contemporary and industrial design with many unique features, including a 40 foot shipping container, original wood and metal floors and a tri-panel set of 8 foot doors that slide and pivot to open the living area to the outdoors. Recessed lighting, wood walls and counter tops throughout, high quality leather furniture and lots of windows and light complete this cozy and inviting abode. 30 day rentals.

Although the space is small, many amenities await, including a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, full bath with a custom tiled shower, LED flatscreen Smart TV with cable, full washer/dryer, queen size bed and a deck with a completely fenced in yard.

All linens, towels, dishes and cookware are provided as well as coffee, soaps and bath products.

The home is located inside a completely fenced in compound with private driveway, parking spot and security gate.

Come hang out on the Eastside. This is tiny living at its finest!

Guests will have complete access to entire house and yard. Nothing is shared.

The hosts are long-time residents of Austin and are available to offer tips, recommendations and general guidance if needed or can be completely invisible if you prefer.

Eastside Container is conveniently located in the heart of East Austin, close to the MLK train Station, downtown and UT campus, including UT's baseball, basketball and football stadiums. Very convenient to many great bars, restaurants, and live music venues on E. 6th St., Manor St., E. 11th St. and the Red River district. Some of the best BBQ joints in the state are almost within smelling distance, including, Franklin, La Barbecue, Mueller's, Mickelthwaite Kerlin and Sam's.

Your own car is highly recommended while visiting Austin, as the public transportation system here has something to be desired. That being said, you are a 10 minute walk to the MLK train station which runs to and from downtown (but not too late).

It is a short drive to downtown or UT, less than 5 minutes, or about a $6 cab or Uber ride.

No events or parties permitted

Please send an inquiry if you would like to book with a pet
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a dining table.

Cute container Experience

This little container was very cozy to stay in for two people. It was very clean when we got there. The only things I would have to say that could be improved on is the showerhead because very little water comes out. But overall, it’s very close to many popular things in Austin, Texas!

Easy to check in, great appliances, clean, smartly decorated, and fun to say you’re staying in a shipping container. Owner was very quick to respond. The patio makes for a great spot to soak up the sun. I will be staying here during my next visit to Austin.

Grand Stay for the Grand Prix

My wife and so stayed here when in town for the US Grand Prix. The space was perfect for an on-the-go weekend and had everything we needed. It’s located just outside of downtown in a great neighborhood with a zillion amazing food options nearby. It was also a quick drive to the bus station we used to go back and forth to the Grand Prix. Highly recommend!

I've always wanted to try a "tiny house" and this was super fun. It was bigger than I expected. Plenty of room for 1-2 people. With a few tweaks it would be perfect.

Unique Space - Centrally Located

This was a last minute booking when my husband and I needed a place to stay for a night in Austin. The space was perfect for us - much larger than we expected, very private, really cool decor, and centrally located to all the main Austin attractions. Loved the off-street parking, great communication with host, and deck to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Would not hesitate to rebook. Highly recommend!
