Photos and Description of the Austin vacation house rental
1 Bedroom Flat in the Heart of the Zilker Area

Our 1-bedroom flat is located on the ground level of a stone triplex built in the 1940s. It has been completely renovated to expose interior brick walls and stained concrete floors, and enjoys its own private patio set up for outdoor dining.

You can rent the Flat to sleep a total of 2, or you can combine it with one or both of the other units in the house to sleep a total of 4 or 6. To see the other units, please enter their listing numbers in the VRBO search bar: 450977 (1 bedroom unit) and 423250 (studio).

All 3 units have clean, crisp linens, quality furnishings and original art. Our WiFi connection is good and there are lots of things to do close at hand, nestled in the quiet of an established Austin neighborhood.

We have bikes for your use wherever you may venture. We are 5 minutes from Downtown and the SoCo district, just south of the river that runs through town. We are walking distance from Zilker Park, home to the famous natural pool known as Barton Springs, and also home to the ACL Festival, outdoor summer theater, and the annual Kite Festival. Walk to Lady Bird Lake, where you can paddle board, canoe, or jog the trails. We are in the midst of excellent eateries and unique Austin entertainment like the Broken Spoke, the Highball retro bowling alley, and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, in an area known as the South Lamar (“SOLA”) district.

If you want to venture outside the neighborhood, we are also close to the University of Texas and the Highland Lakes just west of town. We are happy to recommend things to do and places to see.

About Ann Giles

We are a husband and wife team that loves old houses. We were each renovating our own 1940's era home when we met. Since then, we've acquired two additional homes and had four children. We love spending time with both--keeping the houses in great shape for years to come and keeping the kids busy and fed! One of us is a native Austinite and the other has been here since 1995, so feel free to ask us anything you want to know about Austin, and we will try our best to help.

Ann Giles purchased this house in 1998
Why Ann Giles chose Austin

Location and character. Close to downtown, yet nestled in a quiet, established neighborhood with mature trees and great opportunities to explore nature. A unique structure--beautiful natural stone and concrete block construction originally built as a carriage house but easily converted to unique rental apartments

What makes this house unique

Original, natural building materials give the house character and soul. Clean and manicured outdoor areas extend the enjoyable space of the apartments. Clean and crisp linens and furnishings make for a relaxing and enjoyable retreat.

My daughter and I spent a weekend in this charming flat. It was clean and fully equipped in a good neighborhood. The booklet of nearby grocery stores and eateries was most helpful. Thank you, Anne!

We came to Austin to experience the live music and some warm weather. This rental suite was great for both, as it is close (by car) to many popular venues and had a lovely patio. It was nicely decorated, had quality linens and was thoughtfully supplied with little extras. I would recommend it for any couple.

This apartment in a beautifully restored carriage house was a perfect place for us. The modern necessities (wireless and K-cup coffee pot), great linens and towels, and relaxing patio were exactly as advertised and greatly appreciated! The owners were very helpful, and the rental process was quick and easy. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Austin.

We recently traveled to Austin and found this perfect spot centered in the perfect location. All the things that you need for a sweet romantic getaway with the park just around the corner for those earily risiers. As the pictures portray someone even has the decorating nack which even included a book of things to do, places to eat and places to see. which I thought to be very helpful. and lets not for the Keruig maching... so bring your coffee people. can't say enough, we will be back.

thank you for the wounderful experience and sharing your home with us.

We really enjoyed our stay in Austin and the Urban Hideaway was the perfect place for what we needed. The neighborhood it is located in is such a great quiet neighborhood, yet close to lots of cool things. Downtown is super close. S Congress is right there. Taco Express is walking distance : ) Our first day, we set out on a walk from the condo down through Zilker, along the water front, down South Congress and back. The interior design and layout make this place feel a lot larger than it is and super confortable. The front patio is a great spot to have some wine or relax after an active day. Loved it!
