Please note that while we strive to provide our guests with an enjoyable pool experience, the availability of the pool may be subject to unforeseen circumstances such as maintenance, cleaning, or other issues beyond our control. We prioritize the safety and satisfaction of our guests, and sometimes this means the pool may not be accessible during your stay. We appreciate your understanding and will do our best to ensure any impact on your stay is minimized.

If you need recommendations, we'll be available to provide them otherwise you'll have complete privacy. We'll provide you with access information before you arrive, so you'll have super quick and easy access to the house.

After booking you'll be provided a link where you can purchase upgrades to your booking such as early check-in and late check-out, additional cleanings, and more that will make your Austin experience even better!

We don't charge a security deposit! Where many hosts charge over $500, and where you as the guest risk them not returning your deposit – Austin Vacay remains guest-centric by charging a one-time, non-refundable fee (already included in your booking price) which provides up to $200 of coverage towards unintentional rental property damages (subject to plan terms and conditions). This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

Austin Vacay is proud to be able to service Austinites and travelers during these uncertain times. We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees. We encourage our guests to review Texas and Austin’s travel guidelines and restrictions before making a reservation. We must work together to ensure a safe environment for everyone that enters our properties.

Located in South Austin, this lively and eclectic neighborhood is known for its unique blend of creativity and culture. The area boasts a diverse range of attractions, including the famous South Congress Avenue (SoCo), where locals and visitors can find an array of boutique shops, art galleries, music venues, and a wide variety of dining options. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby parks and trails that offer opportunities for hiking, biking, and enjoying the scenic views of the city. With a mix of historic charm and modern flair, the neighborhood attracts a youthful and artistic crowd, providing a vibrant urban experience. Overall, this part of Austin is a hotspot for anyone seeking to explore the heart and soul of the city's distinctive culture and lifestyle.

Easily hop onto the city's Hike and Bike trail. Very close to multiple bike, kayak, and stand-up paddle board rental shops. Embrace the South Austin vibe that has made this city an icon around the country! Scooters (Lime & Bird) as well as Lyft and Uber are the best ways to get around Austin, especially this close to everything. However, there are also a lot of public transportation options in this area (see CapMetro's website).

Location is unbeatable. Neighbors in the unit have clearly had bad experiences with other short-term renters here, judging by the looks we received coming and going. We were quiet as a mouse so I know the looks weren't meant to address our behavior. We live in a tourist town, too, so we understand. Only complaint is that the management doesn't print out the house manual containing the wifi information or checkout procedures, and the cell service in the unit is bad, so unless you ensure access to the manual ahead of your trip, you have to try harder than you should need to acquire pertinent info. We're always running around like mad ahead of our vacations and adding this to the to-do list seems superfluous. Messages in the app don't hyperlink, so you have to manually enter the web address to get to the google doc with the information you need. Possible? Yes. Annoying and Avoidable? Also yes. Also the shower head in the bathroom was hung comically low. I'm *not tall* and needed to crouch a bit to rinse my hair. Could be remedied with a detachable shower head.

Location, location, location!
This is an older apartment, very clean, and a block away from Zilker Park. Full kitchen, sharp knives! This was a perfect place to stay while my son was recuperating after surgery. Nice and quiet neighborhood. The coin operated laundry was conveniently located around the corner and was a must for our 2-week stay. The host was very responsive to our needs. Would stay here again!

Stress-free Austin
Simple getting there and into the apartment. Free parking in a safe area. I felt comfortable walking solo in the evening and early morning to the park. Great location for those wishing to enjoy Zilker Park, it’s less than 1/4 mile away taking the path almost from the apartment. Inside is cool (A/C) and clean. The kitchen has essentials for simple cooking. The bathroom plumbing works well; shower head height is low for anyone 5’8” or taller but water pressure and temperature good so no complaints. The bed is comfortable and clean feeling. We went in the pool. It gave us a feeling of the old TV show Melrose Place as we watched the residents coming and going since the pool is surrounded by the apartments. Communication with the host was simple and responses were quick. I’d return here.
