RECENT REMODEL! Our home is located in beautiful Travis Heights, one of the oldest neighborhoods in this vibrant city known as the 'Live Music Capital of the World'.

You'll come back from your explorations to enjoy the well shaded back deck, fenced back yard for your pet(s), hardwood floors throughout, the fun updated kitchen with stainless steel counter tops and a tiled island for you to gather around with your refreshments as you plan your next journey. We have a beautiful flat screen TV (42') in the living room with cable.

We are close to parks such as Stacy, with a naturally heated pool and a kids wading pool, Barton Springs, Zilker, the hike and bike trail, Lady Bird Lake(Town Lake) which offers some of the best sculling in the country, the Convention Center, downtown with more great restaurants and live music, Auditorium Shores, the popular bats at the South Congress bridge, Whole Foods Market, museums, tours, theaters the Long Art Center and so much more.

We had a lovely stay in Academy Drive. Our party was made of 3 adults and one toddler and the house was the perfect size and layout for this. The master bedroom is large enough to accommodate an energetic 3-year old and everything had been thought through. We enjoyed drinking our welcome bottle of wine and found the information pack, leaflets and maps very useful. The location is obviously fantastic, being so central. Our timetables (and the weather!) unfortunately did not allow us to make use of the decked area outside but we’re hoping we can do so if we have the pleasure to come back next year. My daughter said: “I really really love this lovely house” and we adults could not agree more! A great house, full of character, in a great location.
Owner's Response: Thanks Homeaway!! Sandy

Perfect home base for a relaxing family vacation

It was such a pleasure to stay in this clean, comfortable home within easy walking distance of South Congress' many delicious restaurants and funky shops, as well as Lady Bird Lake and its beautiful jogging trail. We had four adults and one baby, and Sandy was able to provide a pack'n'play and high chair for the baby. Sandy was a great host -- very accommodating with our late arrival time and was easy to communicate with before, during, and after our stay. The home is in a lovely historic neighborhood and we enjoyed taking long walks each morning, always ending up at Jo's on South Congress for some coffee and treats. The kitchen was well-supplied with everything we needed to cook meals at home, and there was plenty of tourist information (books with restaurant reviews, recommended attractions, etc). Wifi worked perfectly. This was our first VRBO and we are sold! So much easier to travel with a baby when you have a whole house to spread out in -- and laundry facilities too. Austin is a wonderful place to spend a week, and this was the perfect home base from which to explore it!

Cozy home, wonderful stay

We stayed here for a girls' reunion weekend. It was the first time in Austin for several members of our group, and I think the house had as much to do with their falling in love with the city as anything else. We lounged on the couch, enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, and spent long hours on the beautiful deck in the sunshine.

The house was well-maintained and spotless, and a perfect example of Austin charm. And a 10-minute walk to SoCo, to boot? Suffice it to say, we spent the weekend congratulating ourselves on our exceptional choice in rental properties.

Many thanks to the owners!
