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 $1,500 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.

With a harmonious blend of luxury and natural beauty, this part of Austin provides a tranquil yet vibrant lifestyle, making it a sought-after destination for those seeking both relaxation and urban excitement.

Excellent location
The location was excellent and the primary reason we decided to stay here. Aside from rush hour, you could get to many Austin locations in around 10 minutes. The house was very nice overall, but we had some minor issues with cleanliness of the coffee maker, dishes, silverware, etc that we've not had at lower cost VRBO's. Interface with the management company was a bit clunky as I had to call to get the access code after check in and prove that VRBO had already charged me for a pet fee. Quickly resolved, but stay on top of the details of your confirmation if you reserve through VRBO.

Great place - fantastic yard!
Listing was accurate and as expected. The backyard is great for hanging out with tons of room, multiple seating & cantina lighting. Will stay again next time!
