About this property
#1 VRBO in Austin HEATED POOL, central to 6th and Rainey
You found it! This is THE SPOT where you and your fellow travelers want to stay.
Experience Austin’s electric energy in this luxe East Austin estate, just half a mile from legendary Rainey Street and downtown. Stroll to trendy restaurants and iconic honky-tonks like The White Horse!
Your stay in Austin will be perfect with this gorgeous home.
All reservations INCLUDE both houses on the estate and private pool.
The front one-story main house has three bedrooms (two king bedrooms, and a bunk room with four XL twin beds and two regular twins) and three and a half baths (each bedroom has an en-suite bath). This home accommodates 10 people max per city code. The back two-story house has two bedrooms (two queen) and two full baths. This home accommodates 6 people max per city code. All of the mattresses are memory-foam and are lavished with cozy sheets and down and/or down-alternative pillows.
The living room in the main house has a 65" flat screen TV, the comfiest couch you've ever sunk into, and three sets of patio doors looking out onto the pool. The chef's kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves (or likes) to cook. It has all the amenities one could ask for like a 48" Monogram range with a double oven and griddle, a Sub Zero refrigerator, a wine fridge, a pullout drawer microwave, blender, and coffee maker. It is stocked full of quality accessories from brand new pots and pans all the way to a lemon zester and a meat thermometer.
The back house has its own full kitchen to boast about, loaded with all the amenities and high-end appliances like Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer drawers. It also has it's own full-size washer and dryer and a 55' flat screen TV on the first floor. The two bedrooms are upstairs, with the master (and en-suite bathroom) overlooking the backyard and pool.
The LOCATION is PERFECT. We are walkable to downtown and an eighth of a mile to Rainey St and the Austin Convention Center. We are also just a few blocks from the lake, so it's super easy to grab your running shoes or a B-Cycle and hop on the ten-mile hike and bike trail which loops around the core of the city. There are a ton of amazing restaurants nearby and our favorite high-end, The Quality Grocery store is right down the street. Only a fifteen-minute ride from the airport, you'll be in our amazingly beautiful, tree-canopied neighborhood in no time!

If you don't have a car, I'd recommend using Lyft or UberX to get around, you can get to most places in downtown Austin for $5-10. You'll love the East Austin location.

We had the best time staying at this house for a bachelorette trip! The house is well appointed, super comfortable, and the hosts are extremely helpful and responsive. Amazing location, would gladly stay again!
Great property, convenient location, attentive host
Clean, modern, nicely decorated, basically new home in a gentrifying neighborhood convenient to downtown. Nice outdoor pool. Guest house provides privacy for larger groups.
Had a great experience in this rental. The pictures don't do it justice! Ton of supplies (towels, kitchen etc.) and brand new/super clean. Highly recommend staying here. Owner is super friendly and helpful as well.
Perfect property & location close to all things Austin has to offer for a bachelor party or large group gathering. 10/10. You will not be disappointed.
The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for 13 girls to stay for a bachelorette over labor day weekend. The property managers were communicative and very helpful before and during our stay. The backyard is perfect for a group and there was plenty of space for everyone. I highly recommend staying here with a big group!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ my friends stayed here for my sister’s Bachlorette and the house was PERFECT!! Everything we needed was there! You have so much space for drinks and food, there’s all the cocktail tools and glassware you’ll need. The neighborhood felt safe and there was a cute coffee shop a few blocks away. Getting to the bars and restaurants was a quick cab ride away. I highly recommend staying here!
We had the best time staying here for a recent bachelorette party. The house is spacious, comfy, well appointed and adorable. The hosts are super responsive and helpful.
Centrally located to all we wanted to do, but while at home, we spent lots of time out by the pool and even brought in a private chef and did a silent disco (Beyonce vs Taylor) on the last night which was so fun. There were 11 of us staying in the house with beds to spare. Highly recommend!
My friends and I love staying at Lori's Vrbo in East Austin! This is our second time here and we were not disappointed. The house comes equipped with everything you would need and more. It is spacious and comfortable, even with 16 guests. Not only did we have a blast at the house, but its proximity to great food and things to do in Austin is unrivaled! Couldn't ask for a more perfect stay. Plus, Lori and Aaron were super super hospitable, got us checked in super smoothly, and area always quick to respond via text or call on just about anything. Highly recommend staying here, it is definitely worth it!
We had an amazing stay at this property during our family gathering in Austin! The home was incredibly well-appointed, with all the amenities we could have hoped for. From the comfortable and stylish furnishings to the thoughtful details throughout, it was clear that the owners put a lot of care into making this space welcoming.The layout was ideal for our family, providing plenty of space for everyone to relax and connect. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made preparing meals together a breeze. The outdoor area was another highlight, giving us the perfect space to enjoy Austin’s great weather.The location was also excellent, close to local attractions yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to create lasting memories with our family. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-maintained home for their Austin getaway!
Was in Austin for work for 12 days with 5 colleagues. Preferred to have the extra meeting space and ability to cook so we decided on a rental. I reached out to the host with a few questions and he got back to me quickly.
Easy check in - host was there and showed me around. Even gave us some yummy snacks as a welcome gift.
Location was fabulous. Just far enough from downtown to be quiet but still close enough to walk to some stuff. We had a rental car and there was plenty of parking (2 spots on property and tons of free street parking). The neighborhood is an interesting mix - older homes and then these new gorgeous modern things. We always felt safe.
The listing should include a layout because it was tough to tell what we were getting. But it’s 2 houses on one lot:
Main house:
(2) Primary bedrooms w/ king beds & en suite bathroom (off the front hall, facing the street)
(1) bunk room (6 cool XL bunks, room is off the tv room)
Also Kitchen, Dining area, TV Room, Laundry Room, Powder Room
Back house:
(1)) Primary bedroom w/ King bed & en suite bathroom
(1) Bedroom w/ queen bed (really small - like a converted office)
Another Full Bathroom, Kitchen, Washer/Dryer
The houses are modern and comfortable. The host went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed for our work (sitting at the table on laptops) & even Amazoned a few things.
And the pool! We paid extra to heat it and I’m so glad we did! So relaxing to float out there at night.
Loved this house!
Lori and Aaron are great hosts! Everything is laid out for you and pretty self explanatory. We arrived and the wine fridge had cocktails waiting for us, which was a fun surprise! The pool was fun and clean, not super chlorine-y either which is always a plus. The beds were SUPER comfortable and so were the pillows. The showers had good body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Lori did send a warning text about bringing our own towels for those spray tan lovers (aka every bachelorette party in the winter/early spring) - which was appreciated; we ended up buying some gray towels and leaving them there for the next guests to use. If you are bringing your own pool floaties, make sure none have glitter on the inside, cause if they pop it's a real mess and the pool filter's would get clogged. The only "complaint" I would have is the decorating rules and not being able to hang thing on walls with standard 3M tape. We had a decorating service come decorate for us and some of the decorations had fallen down by the time we got there because the purple tape that was provided wasn't strong enough to hold up a balloon arch. Lori then mentioned we could attach things to the glass windows which was a life saver!! So truly no complaints, the house is beautiful, in a safe neighborhood, no noisy or loud neighbors, easy to get to rainey st or 6th ave. We loved it and we will definitely be back next time we're in Austin!! THANK YOU LORI AND AARON!! <3
Our stay was absolutely perfect. The house was everything I expected AND MORE. Lori was so wonderful, even showed us around and put together the sweetest welcome basket. The house was clean, spacious, and absolutely beautiful. Already planning a trip back!
Great stay at a very cool house on the East side of Austin. Super close to some of the best coffee shops and restaurants that Austin has to offer. Communication with the host was a breeze, highly recommend!
Perfect for a birthday getaway! We had a great time celebrating my husband’s birthday in Austin with family & friends in this two-house rental. The hosts made it easy to check in, the pool is refreshing, and the entire place was spotless.
This house is stocked with everything you would need for an amazing vacation in austin with a group. Great location, beautiful house and pool. We loved our trip and are so grateful for the help of our great hosts!
Stayed here for my bachelorette weekend and it was nothing short of perfect!!! Lori was amazing to work with and her property is so nice, cute, clean, and in a great location!! Thanks for the best weekend!!
Couldn’t recommend this place more. The property itself but also the location are ideal. The co-host Lori made everything go smoothly and was very accommodating to all of our guests.
We had the best time staying here!! The host is awesome and easy to contact. The house was gorgeoussss and plenty of space for everyone! Close to all bars and going out spots.
