This Austin home is overflowing with charm. Spacious interiors and soaring ceilings guarantee you a modern, comfortable stay. Your charming vacation home is situated in Austin’s historic Travis Heights neighborhood, located just a half mile from shopping, dining, and nightlife on South Congress Avenue. Snap a photo in front of the iconic “I love you so much” mural. In the evening, head to the legendary Continental Club for some foot-stomping performances, and discover why Austin is known as the “Live Music Capital of the World”.

Custom woodwork and rugs add character throughout this two-story home. Spend time on the upper balcony overlooking the Travis Heights neighborhood. Make use of the covered patio and fire pit in the lush backyard. The open-concept living area offers a welcoming space where guests can socialize or watch TV. Come together for movie nights in the upstairs media room, featuring a streaming-capable TV, a surround sound system, and an upper balcony overlooking beautiful Travis Heights. When you’ve worked up an appetite, prepare family meals in a large kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances - including a French door fridge, double oven, and gas range. The wood cabinets are fully stocked with all the necessary cookware and gadgets. Eat together inside or dine alfresco on the covered patio with overhead lighting and ceiling fans. After dinner, treat yourself to s’mores around the fire pit with stone bench seating.

In the evenings, head upstairs to your private primary suite with a walk-in closet. On the main level, one guest bedroom has full-length windows and a TV, and another has a sophisticated four-poster bed and TV. One guest bathroom has a glass walk-in shower, while another features custom tiling, a double-sink vanity, and a walk-in shower.

The house was clean comfortable and convenient to grocery stores entertainment and restaurants The reason I gave it a 4 is there were no blinds or proper window covering in the bedroom off the kitchen I had to put a sheet on the front window for privacyAll the beds were comfortable the sheets were soft the kitchen was fabulous.

The descriptions of this home were spot on. Located in a quiet neighborhood convenient to parks, shops, and dining, as well as the airport and downtown, I felt we were in the ideal location. The management is attentive and responsive, even though it is corporate. If you have children, you might need to bring your own bedding if you don't want them sleeping in your king-size bed, but the beds are comfortable.

Unique wonderful place!

Loved this place! Perfect gathering spot for our family to connect while in town for a memorial service. Kitchen, bathrooms and beds were so nice and spacious! Decor is fun! Wish we had gotten to spend more time at the house and enjoy the ambiance! The location was great and made it easy to drive to the events we were in town for. Highly recommend!!!

Did not meet host, the windows in the smallest bedroom need shades, it’s very light in that room. The address on the outside of the house needs to be illuminated, we had a hard time finding it. Also, it’s dangerous to have to walk around the house to use the back door, dark and uneven walkway.

The only thing we could not figure out was the upstairs tv. We could not get it to work. The other tvs were very small but we were nit in the house that much during the day so it was ok. House Is gorgeous. Perfect location and tons of room. Will definitely come back.
