Photos and Description of the Austin vacation house rental 3 Bedrooms - 2 Baths - (Sleeps 6)

'Bella Vista!' certainly lives up to its name with undeniably the most spectacular, one of a kind, 'up close and personal' panoramic view of Downtown Austin! 'Bella Vista!' is a wonderfully comfortable, light and airy 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1950 cottage with original hardwood floors, original tile in the kitchen and both baths and lots of windows...updated with modern amenities. Dine alfresco, enjoy your favorite wine, sunbathe, celebrate an event, entertain or maybe even Get Married!...all while enjoying the Breathtaking View from the large raised deck and adjoining gated Courtyard adorned with a large antique iron fountain. And...as if the House and View were not enough...the Location is Fantastic!!! High on the edge of a bluff overlooking Downtown, right at the heart of Austin, 'Bella Vista!' is perched just above the intersection of Barton Springs Road and South Lamar.

Wedding at Bella Vista

momtotheworld Austin
Review Submitted: May 28, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My daughter married on site at Bella Vista. The view is just fantastic and the backyard decks (and beautiful 100+ years old fountain) provided plenty of room for dancing and toasting. My new son-in-law is from England and his whole family came over for the event and stayed right there in the house. We could spend lots of time hanging out together and made some wonderful friends as well as acquiring new in-laws! This was a PERFECT venue for our needs.
Owner's Response: The wedding was intimate and beautiful !!! It really worked out wonderfully for everyone involved, especially the Bride and Groom. Renting the house for the groom's family to stay in gave both the bride's and groom's families a place to gather and get to know one another before and after the wedding. The groom's family really enjoyed their stay at the house and had their first experience in the USA right here in Austin, Texas! They took time for sightseeing and spent time at the house and on the deck sunbathing and enjoying the fabulous view of downtown during the week prior to the wedding and for a couple of days afterwards before heading back to the UK. We look forward to having them as guests in the future when they come back to visit. We enjoyed doing everything we could to accommodate our guests and prepare Bella Vista for a wonderful and memorable wedding experience!

Convenient location

AUSTIN AUNT Pflugerville, Texas
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
I hosted out-of-town guests from Massachusetts at Bella Vista the 1st week in July and we had an excellent stay. The house was very comfortable and was so close to many of the downtown activities we had planned. The decks and view were awesome and even though we did not get to use the decks during the day because of the "Austin Heat Wave of 2009" we enjoyed many a game of Speed Scrabble on the deck after the sun went down.

I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to be close to downtown. Am looking forward to another stay sometime in the fall after the weathers cools off and the outside of the house can really be enjoyed.

Thanks Kathy for the complimentary wine. It was a very gracious touch. Also the readily accessible information on local Austin attractions was very considerate and useful.
Owner's Response: These folks used the house as a base from which to explore Austin with family members visiting from Massachusetts because they wanted to be at the heart of the city. Bella Vista is located less than a mile from downtown, so it was a perfect place to stay while showing their family around. They were model tenants! They took excellent care of our property and would be welcomed back anytime!

Home away from Home...

LDN Canada
Review Submitted: November 20, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
This is an amazing rental home! It is inviting, warm, comfortable, well appointed, charming and has an amazing deck with views of Austin. We stayed as a family and enjoyed many meals overlooking the view, as well as the comforts of a real home. Kathy and Mike take great care of this property and are wonderful to deal with...we would stay here anytime we are in Austin again! The location is close to downtown, Barton Springs pool and is really easy to navigate in and out of the city. Have no doubts in choosing this place!
Owner's Response: WOW! Our new Canadian friends took such excellent care of our house, we could hardly tell they had even been there! It was our pleasure to host their stay and we look forward to their next visit!!
