Photos and Description of the Austin vacation house rental
3 bedrooms and 1 office, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, sleeps 8+ guests

Our vacation home is a 2 story plantation style house worthy of a spread in Southern Living magazine with full front and back balconies accessed from each bedroom. Enjoy lounging in our french quarter courtyard style backyard shaded with 35 foot pecan trees and surrounded by tropical landscaping. At night you can see the downtown lights from the back balcony. Our home is located within a short 5 minute walk to all restaurants and shops on S. Congress, S. 1st Ave, and a 15 minute walk to downtown. Our home is conveniently located across the street from Torchy's Taco, which is rated as Austin's best tacos.

What a great location

This is a charming house located right in the heart of the South Congress action. The house is clean, stylish and roomy. Perfect for a family or group of friends. The back yard is great. You've got to try the queso and tacos across the street at Torchy's, margaritas at Guero's and dancing at the Continental Club.

Great House in a great location!

Amanda was a pleasure to work with. The house was perfect for the 8 of us and we couldn't have asked for a more comfy "home away from home". The location was perfect since it was right on the cusp of downtown Austin, yet close enough for walking distance to all the great outdoor activities that Austin has to offer. Don't forget to grab the yummy tacos from Torchy's Tacos, which was literally across the street. Thanks again Amanda for offering your beautiful home!

Amazing home, fantastic location!

My husband and I travel to Austin on a regular basis and normally choose to stay at a smaller house in a nearby location or at the Austin Motel but this time we were traveling with three friends so we needed a larger rental. Now no matter what, we will be choosing this rental as our Austin homebase because it was a perfect fit for our needs. The house is gorgeous, well appointed and very comfortable - the bed in the master is almost too comfortable, I missed breakfast on two days because of it! We really enjoyed the backyard, the swing on the front porch, and coffee on the rear balcony was a great way to start the day. For our party of five the size was perfect, plenty of room for everyone to live comfortably and the location is exactly what we wanted. An easy five minute walk to Guero's and the Continental, under $10 cab ride to the Broken Spoke and directly across the road from Torchy's - what more can you ask for?! If you have the opportunity to visit Austin, my favourite city in the world, do yourself a favour and stay at this beautiful home, you will not be disappointed!

Bachelor Party

5 of 5
Submitted: July 30, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
This house is great! We had a group of guys stay here for the weekend for a bachelor party. The house is very nice and close to downtown - a long walk - but a very short cab ride. Also, Torchy's Tacos is right across the street, and it's an amazing place to grab a quick bite. We played golf on Saturday morning and there are a few courses nearby. Would highly recommend this vacation rental, mostly because of the quality of the home and the great location. Great place!

Perfect spot to stay downtown Austin!

My family and I had such a great time staying in this home. Great location! Easy to find, 3 blocks off of South Congress. Everything was beautiful, hard wood floors, nice furniture, comfy beds plenty of room for 8 people to still feel like they all had space. The back yard is awesome as well, perfect relaxing place to start off or end the day :) She even had a big book with maps, restaurant menus, and lots of sight seeing ideas. I live in Austin, and I was impressed at the amount of options that this book offered. If I every need a HomeAway house again here in town I'm calling Amanda.
