Wonderful stay in South Austin!

This is our second time staying at Scott and Cindy's place and we will definitely stay again whenever we return to Austin. The house is so comfortable, has nice windows but privacy and our dogs love it too. Our dogs even have their own little yard area. Scott and Cindy are great hosts. We love chatting with them and seeing their cute dogs! The house is in a great neighborhood for walking and close to so many great restaurants and coffee shops. We were so comfortable leaving in our dogs in the unit when we ventured out. The unit is contemporary and so nicely decorated and equipped with great appliances. Thanks for a great stay!

People & Pet Friendly Stay

Central location for all your Austin adventures! Clean, comfortable & has everything you need for your stay. Yard is perfect for your furry family members and a great spot to chill. We will be sure to stay again when we are in town. Scott is a great host, responsive & welcoming. The small touches and little details didn't go unnoticed, well decorated & a great layout.

Why they chose this property

After searching long and hard during our move to Austin, this place fell in front of us and we knew we had to make it work! An opportunity to live, work and make a dollar here? No brainer, thank you very much. We call our place in Austin, "Sou4th" (South 4th Street...get it?)

What makes this property unique

This home is on a quiet street within walking distance or a short drive to South Congress, South Lamar, LIVE MUSIC IS BACK in 2021, MANY Food Trucks & Trailers, Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake, S Congress BAT BRIDGE and Downtown Austin. Ok, so it's 2.2 miles to Zilker! Put on those comfy shoes and get your ACL wrist bands! We walk to most of our favorite places to eat!
