Photos and Description of the Austin vacation cottage rental
3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, sleeps 6

Bring a car if you want to, but you won't need it here. Stroll SoCo's wide sidewalks lined with buskers, artists, craftspeople....great, home-grown, uniquely-Austin shops....Got your fill of that? Seven-tenths of a mile to the tree-canopied Town Lake hike and bike trail. Cruise the lake on a pedal-powered swan boat, pole board, kayak or canoe from Lone Star Riverboats. Rent a bicycle and dawdle under the trees less than another mile to gorgeous, huge, naturally-formed Barton Springs Pool. Back at home, stroll three to five blocks to white-tablecloth restaurants Vespaio, Woodland, Perla's... Or grab vittles from Thai food to BBQ to crepes and cupcakes at the Airstream foodie trailers.....Ready to party? A five-minute walk takes you to live music at the legendary Continental Club...Trophy's....Jovita's....Freddie's.....Dance beneath starlit skies and the ancient oaks at Guero's Taco Bar....Need even more variety? Downtown jumps at night and it's one mile away. Enjoy!

What a Weekend!

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: May 22, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
What a wonderful weekend my three childhood friends and I had at this "Charming Casita". The house had everything we needed including bottled water, half and half for our coffee, reading material, and best of all... LOCATION and a DRIVEWAY! We could walk just about everywhere in the South Congress area and enjoyed eating at Perlas and having cupcakes at Hey Cupcake. Dale, our landlord couldn't have been more accommodating and considerate. Thank you Dale for your generosity and kindnesses. You are the best!

This is a great place to stay in Austin... a true home away from home. The location is awesome, just a short walk from the hoppin' South Congress, but on a quiet street so you can sleep well and enjoy the greenery. The house is spacious, clean and tidy and well equipped.
We were 6 people reuniting for a friends wedding and it couldn't have suited us better... we all had space for suitcase explosions and pre-wedding primping and ironing, plus a great spot for photos at the front doorway covered in blossoms.
Thanks Dale for the coffee and muffins and the tips for getting around town. We'll be back!

Adorable Casita in the Heart of SoCo

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 17, 2013
  • Stayed: Apr 2013
I could not have been happier with my stay at the Casita. From beginning to end, our host was hospitable, gracious, communicative, and really went above and beyond to make our stay flawless.

From the onset, making arrangements could not have gone any smoother. Our host was prompt, courteous, and communicative. We had the details of our stay squared away within 24 hours. Then leading up to our stay, our host made sure to send us plenty of tips on where to eat, explore, and enjoy Austin.

When we arrived, out host made sure to stock up on coffee and tasty treats. The casita was adorable, clean, bright, and walking distance to some of the best spots Austin has to offer.

Overall, we had the BEST time, in no small part due to the Casita's fabulous location and our host's hospitable nature. It truly was a home away from home.

Second Stay Here...Will Definitely Stay Again

Honestly the Casita is the best place ever to stay in Austin. Walking distance to great places on S.Congress. Plenty of room for six with all the amenities of home. The backyard is great to hang out under the stars. And the owners are AWESOME. Very accommodating and willing to help with any questions you may have about what to do or where to go. We will definitely stay again. I can't wait for next time.
Thanks so much.

Friendly owner, great location, comfortable house

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jan 5, 2013
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
My family (two adults, two teens) stayed here for a few days immediately following Christmas. I like this part of town and was looking for a place close enough to South Congress that we wouldn't have to mess with parking for coffee/restaurant/shopping jaunts.

Dale's house was perfect for us. It's a very quick walk to 3-4 coffee shops and numerous restaurants and entertaining stores. The five-minute drive to downtown was convenient as well, particularly as we were attending a wedding and had several family engagements in that area.

The house itself was warm, comfortable, and well supplied. Each daughter had their own bedroom and there was plenty of room to spread out and get some space to ourselves. Dale kept in touch over our stay, which I appreciated, but we never encountered any issues that required attention.

I'm delighted with this property, and will certainly keep it at the top of my list when I again need a friendly place to stay in Austin.

Best regards,
Kevin
