Photos and Description of the Austin vacation house rental
3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps 6+

This rare remodeled mid-century-modern atomic ranch-style house in Travis Heights/South Congress neighborhood was just featured in Apartment Therapy and the Austin Smarter Spaces Tour 2012!

This house was just renovated down to the studs by award winning modern architect Erik Gonzalez of Sago International who created a modern design with subdued luxury. Most of the furnishings were brand new as of April 2012.

The house features an open floor plan and a large communal kitchen featuring a huge countertop, professional grade stainless steel appliances and opens out to the lush patio for classic Austin outdoor living.

All 3 bedrooms have queen beds.

The outdoor patio area is an amazing spot for relaxing, eating and or drinking surrounded by a lush garden environment.

The property is conveniently located just two blocks from Big Stacy Park, which has a large swimming pool (free and open to the public all summer), playground for the kids, and plenty of areas to walk, picnic, or do outdoor activities.

Experiencing city life is as easy as a 15 minute walk to the heart of Soco or Lady Bird Lake.

Spacious, family friendly home

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jan 24, 2013
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
We had the opportunity to stay in this home; it is very well put together.
We had a wonderful time and although it is not really a walkable distance to SoCo, it is still very close.
The house is family friendly; it has a large (fenced in) back yard.
The home has everything you need for a great get-away.
We would stay there once again.

Cozy, Modern, and Central

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 15, 2012
  • Stayed: Apr 2012
A group of my friends and I recently stayed at this home to celebrate my birthday. I love Austin and recruited some friends to make the venture (from California) out, including some first-timers.

First: Zach, the property manager, is absolutely FANTASTIC! He is beyond accommodating! From my initial inquiry via VBRO.com to calling my cell-phone upon arrival to Texas he was informative, welcoming, and professional.

Next, the house is absolutely gorgeous. I'm a huge mid-century modern fan, and as our taxi pulled-up to the front door, my mouth dropped at the exterior. Lime green door, stone work, and succulents for days! The backyard is HUGE and excellent for evening BBQs.The interior features a plush leather couch, amazing shag rug, phenomenal dining table (we fit 6 and had room), 3 large bedrooms, 2 SPA-WORTHY bathrooms, and a colossal kitchen (with all the essentials).

"Downtown" South Congress is walking distance. We didn't rent a car, so we heavily relied on our "Chevro-LEGS". It took about 15 minutes to walk to South Congress (great restaurants), and about another 15 minutes from there to get to 6th.

I hope to visit Austin again in the near future, and will absolutely, without a doubt stay at this house again.

Wonderful place to stay!

  • Submitted: Apr 30, 2012
  • Stayed: Apr 2012
The place itself was fabulous and with a ton of modern updates. Very open layout and was more than enough room for the 8 of us. Backyard was very spacious and the tenant very informative and helpful.

My only concern was the Taxi service in Austin. Never get Yellow Cab in Austin. Friday night we waited nearly 1 1/2 hours for the cab to arrive when they clearly stated they were "15 minutes away". Saturday night was even worse because they never even showed up! I understand it's busy those days but I didn't think it would be a problem when you call for a cab 2 hours prior to when you want it!

Comfortable, modern, close to SoCo

  • Submitted: Apr 2, 2012

This property was perfect for our group of seven adults. The house is completely updated with new appliances and modern furniture. Beds and linens were plush and comfortable. House was spotless. There is an almost completely fenced in backyard and driveway that can hold two cars comfortably. The street and neighborhood are quiet, but still very close to South Congress and downtown.

The owner was extremely easy to work with and very responsive to our needs before and during our stay. Highly recommended!
