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 $400 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.

Austin Vacay is proud to be able to service Austinites and travelers during these uncertain times. 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. We encourage our guests to review Texas and Austin’s travel guidelines and restrictions before making a reservation. We must work together to ensure a safe environment for everyone that enters our properties.

Situated in the southeastern part of Austin, this area embodies a vibrant and diverse community. Known for its accessibility to downtown Austin, this location offers a mix of residential and commercial properties, with a range of housing options suitable for various budgets. The neighborhood is enriched by its cultural diversity, reflected in the variety of eateries, shops, and local businesses that provide a global flair. Several parks and green spaces provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, contributing to a friendly community atmosphere. Its strategic location near key transportation hubs, and proximity to both urban excitement and the serenity of Lady Bird Lake, make this area an appealing and dynamic part of Austin.

Scooters (Lime & Bird) as well as Lyft and Uber are the best ways to get around Austin, especially this close to everything. However, there are also a lot of public transportation options in this area (see CapMetro's website).
We have security cameras outside of our property at the entrances for added security and your peace of mind. We do not have any cameras inside, respecting our guests' privacy.

We don't expect you to scrub the home, but simply pick up your trash and put everything where you found it

Great home - short ride from everything you'd need!
The home is great! Very clean, felt safe the whole time, comfortable beds etc. - everything you would need. The home is great for experiencing Austin - there just isn't much that's directly walkable from the home. Everything is only a 10-15 minute drive.

Great spot in Austin
We stayed here for 3 nights while in Austin and enjoyed our stay. Getting around the city is easy during the day and the place is in a quiet area for sleeping at night. No trouble parking or checking in and out and the host responded to all messages quickly. Great communication and great stay

Great Location, great host!
Apartment was cute. Just big enough for the 4 people staying in our party. Had friends meet before going out for the events and it was plenty of space for the whole group to gather before leaving. Hosts were responsive and helpful. The only thing to make sure of, is it is about a 15/20 min drive to downtown austin to areas like The Domain, or 6th and Congress. B Other than that definitely worth it and we'll be back!!!

Nice little place to stay!
My niece and I were in town for the races and this was a nice place for us to stay. We liked having a place to relax in the evening and having a kitchen was great because we were so tired after a long hot day at the track. Comfortable beds and nice A/C and ceiling fans.

Cozy at its best
The property it’s self was the perfect size and everything was so nice and set up on the inside. The only thing I didn’t like was the beds weren’t that comfortable. I loved the access too the washer and dryer to wash clothes and the open concept it had. The whole place felt cozy and was perfect.

It is just perfect
Information on the webpage is very accurate. The only not positive comment I have is about the floor. I think is the cleaning company who is missing to complete their job cleaning the floors properly; Other than that everything was great!
