Some guests have described the space as "an open air Costa Rican experience." Thank you for taking time to look at our property. If you are not familiar with Austin, this property and location requires a HUGE FUN introduction… 😊 In a second you’ll see why. While we do not have a private pool or a beach. We do have something so UNUSUAL, spectacular and special we would love the opportunity for us to introduce you to BARTON SPRINGS Pool, Ladybird Lake 10 mile hike & bike trail, Zilker Park and its potential for you.

I kindly urge you to take special note that the photos here were taken by me on just one morning 3 mile walk...that virtually starts RIGHT across the street.

We are 7 minutes to ALL THAT IS DOWNTOWN AUSTIN.
Nature and the Park take center stage in this vacation style Zilker Park property.

There are two incredible completely private independent levels to this property. THERE IS NO INTERIOR ACCESS between properties. So much room to roam & private space. On the upper level, the first thing you will see as you walk into the space is 3 sets of french doors opening off the main living space to a breezy huge wrap around deck with views of the park. An enormous picture window enhances your experience of our beautiful Park in the open concept floor plan. This property captures the true essence of the park by bringing the outdoors into your living space. In the morning or evening, with the 3 French doors open, the breeze is spectacular. The property offers a tranquil rooftop setting embodied by all natural materials including; cedar ceilings, wood and limestone counters, stone flooring and a solid 4’ granite kitchen sink. 3 full Bathrooms boast pristine white stucco with sparkling Quartz rock flooring.

Amazing Property!
We rented the whole house for my sisters girls get-away weekend. The home is absolutely fantastic. It is so close to dining and restaurants, yet nestled in a lovely neighborhood, you feel like you’re “away” from all of the hustle and bustle. Additionally, the home is across the street from a wonderful park. Lisa, the owner of the property, is probably one of the most fantastic homeowners I have ever rented from. She is super sweet and super responsive. She accommodated every request I had and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic. This was such a wonderful experience, we will definitely be back!

Girls long weekend - AMAZING
I rented both units and it was FANTASTIC. The space was perfect for a big group, adorably decorated, with beautiful outdoor spaces, lots of natural light, well equipped and comfy beds. Every one of my guests was so impressed by the home. It was also very clean and it the BEST location - close to everything! I could not have found a better location for my birthday weekend. Lisa was also super helpful and responsive.

60th Birthday Weekend
We rented both levels of this house (separate entrances) for a birthday weekend with 6 couples. The place feels like a treehouse, with big deck and patio, lovely water feature, and Zilker Park across the road. Bedrooms were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and Lisa has done a beautiful job of decorating and creating communal spaces.

Highly recommend this VRBO for family/friends groups of various ages.
With a group gathering for F1 consisting of 3 families with various ages and combinations of couples and singles we needed the flexibility of lots of room/bed combinations. This place provided! Additionally, there were plenty of bathrooms, tableware, seating for everyone. The patio/porches on both upper and lower levels were beautiful, tranquil places to hang out. The extra decorating touches throughout both levels made the place extra special. The host accommodated our varied arrival times by allowing us to check in early and check out late!

Lisa was a wonderful host and available for all the questions we had before and during our stay! Our 15 person multi-generational family reunion loved staying at the property having two separate units to disperse. We loved the location and utilized the kitchens every night for dinner! Would love to stay here again!

Stayed here for my bachelor party of 12 and it did not disappoint. It is a beautiful place in a great location. Lisa (the host) was attentive and wonderful to work with. Everyone of my friends was impressed and commented on how nice it was. We often found ourselves coming back from the daily activities and just sitting in the upstairs living room, enjoying the view. You really can't go wrong here.

Outstanding rental for larger group
The location is unbeatable as described. Easy walk to Barton Springs and Umlauf Sculpture Garden. We had a group of 12 for a family celebration and enjoyed the flexible spaces that allow for both privacy and gathering. Outdoor spaces on both levels. The kitchens are well stocked. Hills between units and going down to street level might be challenging for elderly people. The owner, Lisa, is friendly and communicative. It would have been helpful to know in advance that the rental provides only one bath towel per occupant, no pool or beach towels. If you want to take advantage of local water activities, you may end up washing a lot of towels! Everything else was excellent! Highly recommended.
