Photos and Description of the Austin vacation house rental
Five Bedrooms, three baths, and lots of charm - freshly painted & furnished!

This Texas-sized home welcomes you to the quaint Hyde Park historic neighborhood, which is just north of downtown Austin and only 2.3 miles from Texas Memorial Stadium. With four king beds, two twin beds, a fold-down couch, a large living room, spacious kitchen, separate den and three and a half bathrooms, this home guarantees comfort for up to 11 guests. Its wood floors and spacious rooms add to the relaxing atmosphere your getaway calls for.

For smaller groups, the downstairs (3/2) can be rented separately.

Shipe Park/Pool, mom & pop shops, local restaurants, bakeries, and cafés are an easy walk and the bus stops a few feet from the back door. The University of Texas is only 2 miles away, and downtown just 2.8 miles. St. David's Hospital, Brackenridge Hospital, Seton Hospital, The Heart Hospital of Austin and The Dell Children's Center are all between 2-4 miles away.

And, yes, we do accept online payments online.

Why Ric Torres chose Austin

Hyde Park is an even mix of city life with a quaint feel. With much of Austin's action happening within a 3 mile radius, you'll have quick access to the University of Texas, downtown, the Austin Convention Center, and many other Austin happenings. Conveniently situated between Red River and Guadalupe street (and a straight shot to I-35), you don't have to be a master navigator to drive around. And, if you don't feel like driving, you can simply step outside to catch the bus that stops within 30 feet of your front door. Also, with a few varieties of local restaurants and shops within a 5 minute walk, you don't have to venture far for a night out. Or, when you're not feeling like a tourist, you can also walk to Shipe Park or one of the nearby cafés, and simply lay low.

What makes this house unique

This home is also ideal for large groups, looking for 3 - 5 bedrooms - up to 11 people (though we are NOT a party house). You can bring your large group for weddings, seminars, SXSW, UT games/events, ACL, F1 and more.

I rented the whole house for a bachelorette party. Everyone thought it was amazing! Ric was super nice and stopped by on our first night to make sure we got in ok. The house is huge--more than enough space for 10 people, and the 3.5 bathrooms definitely came in handy with that many girls. The neighborhood, Hyde Park, is lovely and close to places like Central Market and high end restaurants, and there is a Walgreens within walking distance if you forget to bring anything. We spent a lot of time downtown, which was around a $15 taxi, though also easy to get to if you have your own car. I would definitely recommend it for large groups as a good alternative to a hotel--the kitchen is great and stocked with some basics, so you can save some money by cooking for yourself.
The rooms were all spotless and well-decorated, and the bathrooms were new-looking and clean.
The only downside was that the internet was a little slow.
Owner's Response: Hi! I'm sorry the wi-fi seemed slow. We pay good money for high speed internet. The techies who stayed during SXSW didn't seem to have an issue with it. I hope you found our specific network and password for this home, in the welcome packet.

Nonetheless, we appreciate the feedback, and will look into it again, just in case.

My husband and I stayed here with our four kids. We were coming in for a big wedding and this place was perfect. A short drive to downtown and Zilker park but we still got the benefit of staying in a beautiful historic neighborhood. The house was well maintained and immaculately clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything I needed for making meals and there was enough space for the teenagers to have their own living room to hang out in. We were close to three different grocery stores, two blocks from a great park, two blocks from a Walgreens drug store and there are several coffee shops nearby. The management was responsive and professional. This was only our second time in a vacation rental vs. a hotel. We loved it and will be back asap.
Owner's Response: You're welcome any time!
