Photos and Description of the Austin vacation house rental
4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps up to 8

The House of Rock is a new addition to the VacationCake family of Austin rentals and we are exited about it because it offers impeccable location and a bit more breathing room for families to spread out. With a king bed, two full size beds, and two twin beds, we feel this offers groups of various sizes and make-up a nice array of sleeping options.

We actually in the process of furnishing out the 4th bedroom to increase capacity at this property a little bit!

This property is located very close to downtown Austin, about 2 miles. Zilker Park is about a mile away and you are within walking distance to several of Austin's favorite restaurants in the Bouldin Creek/SoCo area!

When you're ready to hit the town again, you're only minutes away from Downtown, UT, Barton Springs,The Greenbelt, SoCo and more.

Why Jay Reynolds and Lauren Bard chose Austin

This is a location that is perfect for enjoying what makes Austin so special: Zilker Park nearby, restaurants galore within walking distance, just a short jaunt over the river to downtown, and yet a quiet street and family friendly environment.

This home is ideally located in the Zilker/Barton Hills neighborhood close to everything you've come to Austin to see, eat, hear or do. Delicious Tex-Mex food is 2 blocks away at Maria's Taco Express or Matt's Famous El Rancho. The age-old vegetarian vs. barbecue debate can be hashed out at Mr. Natural's & Art's Rib House which are both about 4 blocks away. Would your Texas vacation be completed with a visit to the last great Texas honky-tonk? Put on your boots & head over to The Broken Spoke, about a 1/2 mile from the house. Ready for a dip in Barton Springs? It's only 1.5 miles from the house -- you can bike there and to the Hike & Bike Trail. Downtown is 2.0 miles away & a city bus line runs down Lamar 2 blocks from your front door.

Better than expected

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 1, 2013
  • Stayed: Apr 2013
I rented out house of rock for a girls weekend/bachelorette party. The pictures don't do the house justice. It's amazing. Beds are comfortable. Plenty of space. The chess set outside is so much fun!!! We had a blast. I would definitely recommend this property. It was easy to find and not far from our destinations. The neighborhood is nice and everything you need is provided. My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here and are looking forward to using the same property again for another trip. I was not disappointed at all.

Nice, but not quite walkable

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 11, 2013
  • Stayed: Feb 2013
This property is generally quite good.
Pros:
* Nice concrete floors; easy to clean and silent
* Ceiling fans throughout (central A/C too)
* Spacious parking
* Nice shaded backyard with chess set, BBQ, patio furniture
* Lots of dishes and silverware provided, including plastic ones; perfect for kids
* Responsive property managers

Cons:
* Soundproofing between rooms could be better.
* Ugly water leakage in ceiling of master bedroom bath
* Thermostats are programmable, so if you make a temperature change, it'll be automatically overridden in a few hours
* Close to 1st and to South Congress, but no sidewalks in neighborhood and not quite walkable -- you'll do better if you have a car
* Hot water temperature is set extremely high, posing a danger for small children who may turn on only the hot tap
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Pet-friendly, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Yes, there was a roof leak in a huge storm about a week before your stay. We had the roof functionally repaired before you arrived but had to wait for the sheetrock to dry completely before we could do the cosmetic repair. It'll be complete this week. (mid-March 2013).

Thank you so much for letting us know about the water temperature. I'll have my maintenance guy turn it down while he's there for the ceiling repair.

So glad you enjoyed your stay -- come on back anytime!

Bigger and more spacious than I had expected

Hi!,

I was here for a girl's weekend and we just had the best time. There were about 10 of us and we all slept comfortably and had plenty of mirror space to get ready so we could go out on the town. The pictures online don't really show how much space you have to spread out so that was a pleasant surprise :)

The location was subperb. It was a quick ride to downtown.

I would definitely stay here again.
