Located on the waterfront, this holiday home is in Holly, a neighbourhood in Austin. Moody Theater and Austin City Limits are cultural highlights, and travellers looking to shop may want to visit Sixth Street and Rainey Street. Looking to enjoy an event or a game?

Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. I am an enthusiastic local guide, especially for live music, as I've been a member of the music community for many years. Our block is a dead end, surrounded by the park and the lake. very quiet at night. The trial out front is a 10-mile loop. Between our house and the lake is only park land with baseball fields. In the winter when the trees are bare, we have panoramic views of the water.
The neighborhood overflows with exciting new foodie restaurants, bars, and some of the best food trailers in Austin. Walk 1 mile to the Rainey Street district.
This is a very spacious family home with a lot of love and good energy. You'll know we live there, but not be overwhelmed by clutter or our belongings. High quality kitchen items.
Pool kept at 85 degrees, but we can heat it to 100 for a small fee. It's glorious. You'll sleep like a baby.

What makes this property unique
My front porch swing is my spiritual center. I love to listen to the countless species of birds announce themselves one by one as they wake up in the morning and to watch runners, cyclists, etc. go by on the trail from the swing. There is a lovely evening breeze off the lake most nights and excellent shade from the Pecan tree.
The front house and back apartment are available to rent individually, but larger groups love to have this option of this combination of the two. Together, but separate.
Kids, will love the playroom, x box, spiderweb swing and porch swing.
Time Out recently published a list of the 50 coolest neighborhoods IN THE WORLD and they put us - Holly, Austin as #24.
Getting around is easy. We are a very inexpensive Uber, Lyft to downtown, SOCO, Barton Springs, etc. There are plenty of scooters and bikes to rent in our neighborhood as well.
