Dappled sunlight filters through ancient trees onto our lush turfed area. Whether you're challenging friends to a cornhole match under the shimmer of string lights or sipping morning coffee at our patio table, relaxation is the name of the game here. When the night beckons, ascend to the second floor. Here, our lavish king bedroom extends its arms, complete with a vanity, bunk beds, and access to a whimsical patio that whispers tales of Austin under the stars. Our queen bedroom, equally enchanting, is a dreamy cocoon for restful nights. As you'd expect, our linens, reminiscent of the world's finest hotels, ensure you sleep wrapped in luxury. The bathrooms? Well, they're pure artistry, marrying utility with sheer aesthetic pleasure. For those who believe in traveling light, our conveniently located in-unit laundry has got you covered.

We don't charge a security deposit! Where many hosts charge over $500, and where you as the guest risk them not returning your deposit – Austin Vacay remains guest-centric by charging a one-time, non-refundable fee (already included in your booking price) which provides up to $1,500 of coverage towards unintentional rental property damages (subject to plan terms and conditions). This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees.
