Explore Austin in Style: Luxury for 14 Guests, Steps from South Congress
Welcome to Walker Luxury Vacation Rentals, where exceptional guest experiences and premium hospitality are our top priorities. Each of our homes comes with a dedicated team of knowledgeable agents that are available 24/7. Your personal representative is not only well-versed in every detail of the home, but has likely enjoyed it with their own friends and family. They will quickly become an invaluable resource, guiding you to the best experiences and locations tailored for your group.
As modern as it is lush, the South Congress Custom House is an ideal setting for a group getaway in a pitch-perfect location. Four vibrant bedrooms sleep 14 guests total—each with either a queen or king bed (and one with a pull-out sofa to sleep two). Best of all? Our coveted South Congress location is a short walk from some of the city’s most popular restaurants and sites.
Park in your private driveway, drop your bags, and:
Find your ideal hangout spot. South Congress Custom House is a 2,600 sq. ft. industrial-chic haven with concrete counters, clean-lined furnishings and custom ironwork details. Outside, find a BBQ-ready space with a fenced yard, charcoal grill, smoker, fire pit, and leafy, serene landscaping.
Can’t decide between indoors or out? You can also have both at once: there’s also a screened side porch for enjoying Southern breezes without the direct sun. This space even has its own wet bar and a nap-worthy sectional sofa.
Easily explore two of Austin's best streets/neighborhoods. The South Congress area (aka SoCo) is undoubtably an Austin favorite—and you're right in the middle of it here. To the other side is South First, another activity-packed thoroughfare. Foodies will appreciate the range of options at their fingertips, from Torchy's Tacos to some of the city's best Thai food at Sway (both are less than a 5-minute walk away). Make a night of it and catch some live music at The Continental Club, just a 10-minute walk.
Admire some Austin originals. The South Congress Custom House is just down the street from the famed Greetings from Austin mural. But you don't even have to go that far for local art. The house itself features wall-sized murals in two of the bedrooms, plus other original art and custom design elements throughout.
Have brunch at home. Wake up refreshed, stay in your PJs, and head to the full, open-concept kitchen. The frosted cabinets are filled with everything you need to cook and eat. Mix up mimosas, slather those pancakes in syrup, and head to the dining table to feast!
Please Note - The primary bedroom contains a queen over-queen bunk bed, totaling two queen beds.

Perfect location, clean, comfy and stylish! This was the best place for a group of 4 ladies...time to be together but also time to have some space. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again!
My friends and I had an amazing stay here. Quiet neighborhood, great location just a few blocks from Congress street, and the house itself fit everything we were looking for. Would come back here the next time we make our way to Austin.

Comfortable, spacious house for 8 friends to share
We picked this place for its proximity to S. Congress St. so that we could walk to restaurants/shopping/music. It worked well for our group of 8 women. Fire pit area was nice to happy hours.
The house was great and had plenty of room for 4 guys. It offered easy access to South Congress and a short drive into downtown.
Looking forward to staying there again.

Our family visit to Austin was made more enjoyable by having a clean, welcoming place to stay. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and easy walking distance to the busy South Congress area. Having 4 bathrooms was definitely a plus for 10 guests. The house could use a little maintenance on the shower stalls but it was manageable. The property manager was very responsive and courteous.
Perfect walking distance from South Congress and plenty of room for our group of 9!

Excellent!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful property. The location was great and close to many fine restaurants, coffee shops, etc.
We definitely would sat here again.
This house was perfect for our group of college friends for a long weekend in Austin. The location is great for accessing all different parts of the city and the house is very comfortable and well-appointed with good common spaces (indoor and outdoor) for hanging out and catching up.
Exactly what we were looking for with a big group. Big, spacious and clean house with plenty of sleeping options in a great location.

This house was perfect for our weekend in Austin. Plenty of room and the house is well equipped with everything you need to feel like home. We really enjoyed our stay here and the check out process was very easy. Would highly recommend Luxury Walker Rentals in the future.
The house was great and as described. It was perfectly situated within walking distance of South Congress and a quick Uber ride to downtown Austin. 4 couples and 4 bedrooms and everyone was happy. We had a couple of mechanical issues and Walker Luxury Rentals was quick to take care of all.

We were celebrating the holidays in Austin with family and the house was amazing. Our family enjoys walking and the home was perfectly located that we didn’t even rent a car. House was a great layout for 5 adults and 2 kids, more than enough space and the house was very clean and very comfortable Also, mostly everything you could need was provided. I would stay again for sure. Thank you!
Quiet neighborhood and very pleasant easy access home. Great to walk to restaurants and shops on Congress. Yes, the management company / VRBO should disclose that the home next door is under construction. However, the construction noise was minimal and workers unobtrusive and respectful.
Thank you sincerely for your delightful review following your recent stay with us. We are genuinely pleased to learn that your experience was enjoyable, and we sincerely hope for the opportunity to host you once again in the future.
This home was beautiful and there was plenty of space for us to sleep and lounge around. Kitchen was large and well stocked. The property manager was very generous and allowed us early check in and late check out so we had enough time to decorate and clean. There were good instructions for where things were located. When we come back to town, we will try to book this same home.
We were there for my daughter's wedding and was good space for those staying there. The lighting was confusing and not all lights were working well. Kitchen could be better appointed. Realizing we were not there to watch TV, the channel selection was poor for how much the house cost. Minor details, overall liked the house.
