As modern as it is lush, the South Congress Custom House is an ideal setting for a group getaway in a pitch-perfect location. Four vibrant bedrooms sleep 14 guests total—each with either a queen or king bed (and one with a pull-out sofa to sleep two). Best of all? Our coveted South Congress location is a short walk from some of the city’s most popular restaurants and sites.
Park in your private driveway, drop your bags, and:
Find your ideal hangout spot. South Congress Custom House is a 2,600 sq. ft. industrial-chic haven with concrete counters, clean-lined furnishings and custom ironwork details. Outside, find a BBQ-ready space with a fenced yard, charcoal grill, smoker, fire pit, and leafy, serene landscaping.
Can’t decide between indoors or out? You can also have both at once: there’s also a screened side porch for enjoying Southern breezes without the direct sun. This space even has its own wet bar and a nap-worthy sectional sofa.
Easily explore two of Austin's best streets/neighborhoods. The South Congress area (aka SoCo) is undoubtably an Austin favorite—and you're right in the middle of it here. To the other side is South First, another activity-packed thoroughfare. Foodies will appreciate the range of options at their fingertips, from Torchy's Tacos to some of the city's best Thai food at Sway (both are less than a 5-minute walk away). Make a night of it and catch some live music at The Continental Club, just a 10-minute walk.
Admire some Austin originals. The South Congress Custom House is just down the street from the famed Greetings from Austin mural. But you don't even have to go that far for local art. The house itself features wall-sized murals in two of the bedrooms, plus other original art and custom design elements throughout.
Have brunch at home. Wake up refreshed, stay in your PJs, and head to the full, open-concept kitchen. The frosted cabinets are filled with everything you need to cook and eat. Mix up mimosas, slather those pancakes in syrup, and head to the dining table to feast!
Please Note - The primary bedroom contains a queen over-queen bunk bed, totaling two queen beds.

Beautiful property with great layout, comfortable rooms, well-equipped kitchen, and generous property manager. Perfect location for exploring and making great memories.

The location of the house to nightlife and barbecue was perfect. It suited our large friends group very well.
8.0 / 10.0
Our family enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and clean. Good outside area to barbecue. There were a couple of unfortunate things we experienced. First off the microwave had a short in it and did not work very well. We were not able to warm up any food through the evening. They did replace it the next day but we were done cooking by the time it arrived. Also the TV on the porch area did not work. They were not able to repair it and it was the only other TV in the house so it was a bit of an inconvenience to our group. They stated they would get back with us after discussing a way to compensate for lack of these things that were advertised but we never received a response. All in all the property was nice. Maybe would have chosen another property had we known they were only going to have one TV for our large party and per the house rules could not be outside past 10:00 pm.

The house was great and as described. It was perfectly situated within walking distance of South Congress and a quick Uber ride to downtown Austin. 4 couples and 4 bedrooms and everyone was happy. We had a couple of mechanical issues and Walker Luxury Rentals was quick to take care of all.

We very much enjoyed the house. Manager/Owner was quick and responsive to our needs. We'll stay again.

With as many people as we had and with various ages, we needed to use the screened in porch every day. It was so dirty that two of us had to sweep, dust and take the cushions out to beat the dirt out of them. There were ants and two people were bit. Otherwise the home was clean inside.
10.0 / 10.0
This house was perfect for our group of college friends for a long weekend in Austin. The location is great for accessing all different parts of the city and the house is very comfortable and well-appointed with good common spaces (indoor and outdoor) for hanging out and catching up.

My husband and I stayed here with five18-20 year olds and three 8 year olds and we had a great time. Our kids brought their friends on this trip:) We walked to the famous Home Slice Pizza on South Congress the first night, enjoyed Barton Springs on the second day, and had a boat party on Lady Bird lake the last night. We had plenty of room for all 10 of us, the big kids stayed up stairs and the littles stayed with my husband and I downstairs. The only thing I would ask is that the trees be trimmed over the driveway and the light switches be labeled. Overall the experience was amazing and we made great memories.
8.0 / 10.0
Quiet neighborhood and very pleasant easy access home. Great to walk to restaurants and shops on Congress. Yes, the management company / VRBO should disclose that the home next door is under construction. However, the construction noise was minimal and workers unobtrusive and respectful.
8.0 / 10.0
We were there for my daughter's wedding and was good space for those staying there. The lighting was confusing and not all lights were working well. Kitchen could be better appointed. Realizing we were not there to watch TV, the channel selection was poor for how much the house cost. Minor details, overall liked the house.

10.0 / 10.0
This home was beautiful and there was plenty of space for us to sleep and lounge around. Kitchen was large and well stocked. The property manager was very generous and allowed us early check in and late check out so we had enough time to decorate and clean. There were good instructions for where things were located. When we come back to town, we will try to book this same home.
6.0 / 10.0
To state first: the house is architecturally interesting and pleasing with the original art work and eclectic interior decor. So many rentals are so sterile and cold in appearance. This home was very refreshing. It was large enough for my family reunion. The location is great, within walking distance of restaurants and parks for the little kids.
Having said that, there are some problems, most of which are rooted in the mismatch between a house that states it sleeps fourteen and yet the does not support anywhere near that many. We were a family of 8 adults and 5 young kids....there were only five coffee mugs(!), the dining table was small and had only six chairs and the table itself was metal, very hard and cold and no table cloth or placemats available. There were plenty of towels....but no towel racks in the bathrooms, no place to hang damp towels after showers or have washcloths hanging out after use, which seemed really odd. Several of the closets had supplies stacked in them which gave limited use, particularly
the front door closet was so full of boxes of paper goods that we couldn't put our coats in there at all. It would be really helpful if the light switches could be labelled....there are a dizzying array of not very intuitive light switches all over the place. And the two upstairs bedrooms had great beds and mattresses; however the two bedrooms on the main floor each had very not comfortable ones....sagging slump in the middle, poor support, etc. And just of note: I realize that it may not be VBRO or Walker's capacity or responsibility to know but having a major house construction going on literally right next door was very loud and frequently annoying. I probably would have looked for another house had I known of that potential.
But I want to be clear, I would wish you to take the mentioned issues as observations that could be improved. The house is lovely, in a great location and we had a wonderful time in Austin!

We were celebrating the holidays in Austin with family and the house was amazing. Our family enjoys walking and the home was perfectly located that we didn’t even rent a car. House was a great layout for 5 adults and 2 kids, more than enough space and the house was very clean and very comfortable Also, mostly everything you could need was provided. I would stay again for sure. Thank you!

We had an amazing long weekend here on an annual friends trip. Most of us had never been to Austin before, and this rental was in such an incredible location for us.
Beyond the location, the house was incredibly comfortable and clean for our group of 10, and we enjoyed cooking meals with all of the provided cookware and sitting in the great backyard.
10/10 we would stay here again if we ever came back!

Great family gathering spot
This home is in a great location for exploring Austin. Easily accessible to S Congress and downtown activities. I loved being able to run from the house to the river trail and explore the region on foot. The kitchen provided everything we needed for cooking a Thanksgiving feast together.

Relaxing weekend getaway
My wife and I actively enjoyed staying at this property for the weekend. The highlights of this property are definitely the neighborhood and the screened-in porch. This is a short (5min) walk to a delicious donut food truck, and there is a good amount of restaurants within a 15min walk.
I would definitely recommend this place in the future.

Perfection in Austin
We felt at home from the moment we walked in. We traveled with our 4 children and enjoyed the location and layout of the house. Super clean, quiet spot with a lovely screened porch and many other very nice sitting areas. We walked to dinners, coffee and shopping. So convenient and super cool. Would definitely stay again.
