Lux SoCo Penthouse in the Heart of Austin

Welcome to your luxurious Austin landing pad. The SoCo Penthouse is located right off South Congress, a stone's throw from Austin's best shopping and dining. Sleep on the third floor in a comfy king bed with your own large deck overlooking pecan trees, Austin sunsets, and South Congress vibes.

While we are close to all the action, once you walk through the gate into the private front yard, you are in your own little oasis. You likely won't need a car, but if you have one, we offer an off-street parking spot behind our remote controlled gate (it's perfect for "normal" sized cars, but we can't accommodate camper vans or long trucks).

As we are next to a lively area, including a boutique, 4 star hotel, you may catch some of the buzz from South Congress, especially on weekends. That said, we're also nestled next to a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, and we’re committed to being great neighbors—so no parties, please. Think relaxed evenings with a glass of wine, not rowdy nights out.

You should also know our home has a modern style with tall ceilings and lots of light-filled rooms with high-up windows. Some of the windows don't require or accommodate coverings. While there is ample privacy, you will not have the ability to "black out" rooms. We do have fresh eye masks and earplugs for your use, but if you need full control of the light, this will not be the best place for you.

Finally, there are stairs! We technically have 3 stories, so you will need to carry your luggage (and yourself) up the stairs. We think it's worth it to enjoy the "treehouse" vibe, but we completely understand that doesn't work for everyone.

Once you arrive, you’ll find there’s no shortage of amazing things to do nearby—we’re happy to tailor recommendations based on your interests. Whether it’s food, music, shopping, or nature, Austin’s got something special for you, and we’d love to help you experience it like a local.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free vacation home features rock climbing nearby and hiking/biking trails nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A wonderful space in a vibrant area of Austin, lots of shops & restaurants along South Congress, combined with around a mile walk into Downtown. Meredith is a very attentive & responsive host, so whether one is new to Austin or a return traveller, this is a reliable penthouse flat!

This was an amazing stay. The home was beautiful, perfect location, so many balconies! The master is on the top floor with its own sun deck and big bathroom. Our kids stayed on the main floor (age 9 and 11) and they loved having what felt like their own floor of the house. Lots of stairs, so something to consider for super young kids or those with mobility challenges. Privacy-wise, the layout is also great for two couples, as both rooms have their own dedicated full bathrooms on separate floors. The main living space is lovely and there are smart speakers all over. I wouldn't change a thing.

This property is one of the best VRBO's we've stayed in, and we've stayed in a lot. It was the perfect place to enjoy time with our Texas cousins. Plenty of space, great location, and the secure parking was a bonus.

Great condo. Great location. We felt like we were at a 5-star resort. There are some stairs, so if you have mobility issues, this is not the place for you. Otherwise, it's perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

Well maintained and cared for accommodation. The condo was very clean and came with amenities as described. We had a great stay here. Fantastic location just off of South Congress, excellent coffee shops and restaurants within a few steps.

Well stocked and appointed. Beds were comfortable. TVs in both bedrooms was a plus. As was the secure parking space! Would definitely stay here again on a return to Austin.

Enjoyed our stay

Loved our stay and the house was very accommodating and near so much. The host was extremely good to work with and it’s such a nice property. If I had any suggestions it would be to have some blinds installed in the downstairs bathroom, downstairs bedroom and living area. I would definitely stay here again and suggest it to others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
