Corner Condo 1BR Lakefront Natiivo Austin 32nd-fl
Great place to stay! Bars/food trucks were within walking distance!

East Side Gem w/ pool – Walk to E 6th, Mins to DT
Spacious one bed apartment in secure complex with free parking. Loved having coffee on the balcony each morning and washing machine in apartment was fantastic. Walkable to many restaurants and bars. Slightly longer walk to good supermarkets.

Luxury Condo Walk to Rainey St & Lake, Pool & Gym
Gorgeous condo with stunning views and excellent amenities! Everything was spotless and easy to find. City e-bike stand nearby so we hopped on bikes and pedaled everywhere!! Would definitely stay again next time we are in town!!

Jaw-Dropping Luxury Condo | Rainey | Rooftop Pool
Stayed here for 3 nights for a girls trip. We had the BEST time! Jasons place is in a perfect location, excellent amenities, beautiful views, great atmosphere, quiet and private but also the lobby area and pool deck are great spaces to hang out! Absolutely worth the price, will definitely stay here again.

Modern Elegance: South Austin's Finest Condo
The place was exactly as listed and very clean! Mercedes was very responsive. My husband and I were able to comfortably work from here remotely. It had just about everything we needed and was well stocked!

SuperHost - New Condo w/ Parking, Balcony and Gym
This was my second time staying in a property of Helen and Randy's and I've greatly enjoyed both occasions. The apartment was cozy and had all of the necessary amenities to have a comfortable stay for 5 days. Everything was properly clean and neatly organized and I had no issues with any aspect of the apartment. One of the most outstanding aspects of this offering, however, was its location. I've truly appreciated being in the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood - I had quick access to good food of numerous cuisines and different meals for the day (breakfast, lunch, dinner), great coffee spots, and night hang-outs. I also liked its proximity to Downtown Austin and being able to quickly access the neighborhoods over the river. Although there were many hang-out spots, it never felt too crowded or empty - a very Goldlilocks' "just right". Additionally, it was nice being near a CapMetro BikeShare location. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend and look forward to future visits.

Breathtaking Lakefront condo on the island
Beautiful views!! Wanted a quiet relaxing getaway & I’m so glad we went with this listing. Very roomy, stocked kitchen with appliances, and host is very responsive. I do recommend Smiling Donuts :) definitely book if you’re thinking about it

2 Bdr 2 Ba Condo Near DWTN/UT
We needed a place close to campus for a long weekend. This condo was perfect. Clean, comfortable beds, enough hot water, quiet. It’s a third floor unit (walk up) on the alley side. No long list of checkout instructions. Very plug and play. We would absolutely stay there again.

Lake Travis Luxury 5bd/3bath Cabin Hollows Resort
We stayed two nights for a girls trip and it was perfect! The outside area was so nice to sit with a glass of wine and the neighborhood is peaceful and very walkable. We would definitely return.

4BR Domain Retreat | Hot Tub + Foosball Fun
Great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and as described. The host was super communicative and flexible, making check-in and the overall experience seamless. As mentioned in other reviews, a few areas could use some paint touch-ups, but overall, it was a great experience and very clean. Would stay again!

2 bed 2 bath Home 2 blocks from SoCo
Everything about the house and host was fantastic. COMMUNICATION- Teri was always quick to respond to questions and made sure we knew the neighborhood rules with regard to parking. LOCATION- A short walk to South Congress which means a short walk to great places to eat and see music- it's also close (maybe 6 to 10 blocks?) to a very large grocery store. HOUSE- Fantastic, comfortable, clean. The little back porch area was great, living room was super nice and comfortable, kitchen had plenty of everything....and 2 very comfortable bedrooms and 2 bathrooms means 2 couples have plenty of space. I would stay again in a second and would recommend this place to anyone....We loved it!

Close to golf, beer, wine and offers car charger
Our stay at Shelley's place was lovely! The house is so spacious, was sparkling clean, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the grill and amazing views. It's located in a quiet and peaceful area, perfect to relax and have a good night's sleep. When I first saw the listing, I was a bit concerned about how comfortable the sofa bed in bedroom 4 would be. It turned out that I picked this room for me and my husband: it's spacious, has its own bathroom and the bed is VERY comfy, in addition to the best views! The other bedrooms were also great, cozy and with perfect levels privacy. Everyone was incredibly pleased with the accommodations. Communication with Shelley was excellent, she is a fantastic host!

Brand New House + Yard Next to Downtown & E 6th!
We had a great stay! The home was clean, spacious and the beds were super comfortable. Check-in was a breeze with the keypad and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like laundry, dish and shower essentials. The location is amazing — walkable to Target, Whole Foods, and great dining. Overall, a very comfortable and well-stocked home in a great spot!

Sunset Cove Lakefront Home on LakeTravis w/ Dock
love how close it is to the water.

The water line has drastically decreased however there’s still a decent view to be able to relax and unwind from this condo . We will definitely be back.

A Creekside Farmhouse
My family and I had an amazing Christmas at this Farmhouse. Debbie's description of the house is very accurate, check in/out was a breeze and she made herself available to answer any questions we had. The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms super clean and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to cook our meals. Thanks!

Hill House in Wonderful Bouldin!
We had a great time at Carole's place and really loved the area: close to South Congress, Barton Springs, and Zilker Park, and not far from downtown and East 6th. The house is across from a small park and creek, which our daughter loved exploring, and the neighborhood is full of beautiful houses, both old and new. The house has most everything you need and was comfortable, with good beds and AC to keep you cool when needed. It was great to have the outdoor spaces to hang out when the temps were moderate. We were looking for activities for our 8 year old, and Carole was amazingly helpful with suggestions.

Cozy Mod Casa: close to ACL/Downtown/S Congress.
Perfect location for our stay in Austin! Hands down one of the best experiences I have had booking a house on Airbnb. The house was clean, quite, and comfortable! Larry is very thoughtful and answered all of my questions before I thought to ask. His attention to detail, communication, and hospitality were all top notch. Flexible check-in and check-out. Just an overall good experience. Top of my list for the next trip to Austin.

11 Beds | Billiards | Hot Tub | Mins From DT & 6TH
Alejandro was a great host! The place was accurately described and was a perfect stay in Austin. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a spot within walking/ driving distance of the main attractions Austin has to offer

Roomy Downtown Home | Prime Location | Turf Yard
I was a little iffy on the location, two houses across the street were beautiful, but the rest needed some TLC. However, the neighborhood was very peaceful and we had no issues at all. The house is beautiful and well taken care of. Vero and Josh were very responsive when we had a concern. I would definitely book with them again.
Willies Place
Lovely old house conversion, well done; the kitchen is not only beautiful but second to only one other Airbnb I've stayed at in terms of amenities, we could actually cook there (though less non-stick would be appreciated). Well-stocked with linen, towel, and paper needs. Everything was super-clean, and felt fresh energy-wise. Would stay again.

Work and Play at Cozy Hearth
Kim is a great host and has great communication. The stay was perfect and has everything you need. Would definitely stay again !

Very nice newer home just south of Austin.
Great place super spacious to spread out everything was as described

Your guide to Austin
Introduction
The Texas capital is a mecca of everything the state does best: inventive cuisine served from its food trucks; live entertainment celebrated at festivals touting music, tech, and extreme sports, and of course the all-essential SXSW; and plenty of outdoor experiences that call for biking, hiking cycling, swimming, bouldering, and kayaking year-round. Downtown Austin is the center of it all, with a thriving arts and shopping scene by day and lively nightlife after the sun sets, especially on Sixth Street and in the Warehouse District. Take a step back in time in South Austin, where beloved restaurants and classic architecture surround the biggest city park. The fast-growing neighborhood of East Austin, an eclectic enclave of food and boutiques, is another great spot to explore.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Austin
Austin boasts 300 sunny days a year, but there’s no denying that the city sizzles in the summer, with July being the hottest month. Average high temperatures are in the 90s Fahrenheit from June through September, with lows only getting into the 70s. Winter is a far more temperate season, with highs in the upper 50s to low 70s and lows dipping into the upper 30s. Spring and fall are the most pleasant seasons for a vacation, with highs usually in the 70s and 80s and lows in the 50s to 60s. The clearest skies arrive between July and November, with the highest average days of rain in May.
Top things to do in Austin
Texas Capitol
The Texas state house is as grand in stature as the state is in size, earning a spot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and being declared a National Historic Landmark in 1986. Made of sunset red Texas granite, the three-story capitol building is the largest in the nation — yes, it’s more than 14 feet higher than the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC. But the true beauty is in the details, such as the ornate oversized brass door hinges and chandeliers with light bulbs that spell out “T-E-X-A-S.” Take a free half-hour tour or pick up a map to take a self-guided tour.
Congress Avenue Bridge Bats
No bat signal needed! One of the most stunning sights in town is this fascinating natural phenomenon as between 750,000 and 1.5 million bats — the largest urban colony on the continent — fly out from under the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge every night at dusk.
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
Founded by Lady Bird Johnson and actress Helen Hayes in 1982, the 284-acre University of Texas at Austin Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is committed to preserving the state’s native plants, with more than 900 species on site. There’s also an arboretum with more than 70 kinds of Texas’ native trees.
