About this house rental

Located in Zilker, one of Austin's most charming, walkable and convenient neighborhoods, La Serena is secluded and peaceful. A mix of treasured vintage cottages, historic mansions, restored ramblers and sleek modern showplaces, the Zilker neighborhood is picturesque, interesting, friendly and fun. If you're in the habit of an evening stroll, come out. Our streets are quiet and walkable, the neighbors enjoy visiting, taking the dog around the block, checking out the progress of the latest new buildings. Join us and live La Vida Local in Zilker!

La Serena is nestled among centuries old Live Oaks, the building was architect-designed and purpose-built for guests. No other living units are in the building. Up the stairs is an open landing leading to the screened deck high in the tree-tops. What a great place for morning coffee or an evening libation! Double Marvin glass doors open to combine the living area and deck creating an inviting indoor-outdoor space. High ceilings, white oak hardwood floors, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, contemporary furnishings and abundant natural light grace the interior. The bright spa bath has plenty of gorgeous granite counter top space, dual under mount sinks, under counter drawers, cabinets and a large mirror. The over-sized shower is enclosed by a frameless glass door and outfitted with Kohler Purist shower head, a balance bar, foot rests and a product niche. Fluffy white towels and soap are handy.

The well-lit bedroom boasts a king-size bed and high quality linens; wall-mounted reading lamps are within easy reach. Room darkening window coverings encourage lazy mornings! No need to live out of a bag; a roomy closet and ample shelf space lets you unpack and relax! Google fiber internet and smart TV. Remote controlled mini-split units provide quiet and comfortable heating and cooling. The kitchen is equipped with microwave oven, coffee maker, blender, dishes and cookware, German-made Blomberg dishwasher and gas range. I've placed coffee, sweetener and creamer on the countertop to get you started your first morning. You'll notice the mini-island with micro in the kitchen area. One of my best ideas: it's on wheels! Move it around to serve as a pass-through counter from the kitchen window to the deck, put it at the corner of the kitchen for extra prep space, place against the dining room wall for a handy bar. The full-sized refrigerator has lower drawer freezer. The glass top table is a perfect size for casual dining as well as for spreading out a map or taking care of paperwork.

La Serena has an 8x10' storage and laundry exclusively for you. Bring your bikes, your golf clubs, your sports stuff. This windowless room has an electronic lock, houses a washer & dryer and space to keep items you don't want underfoot. Parking is off-street on a concrete drive; a dedicated walkway leads to La Serena.

A City alley runs behind the property. This means an extra measure of privacy since no back yards are directly behind you. A short walk down the hill to Barton Springs Road you'll find the #30 bus stop. Check the Capital Metro web site, capmetro.org for maps and schedules. Our bus, #30, goes downtown; hop off at the 4th St stop to be in the thick of things downtown. Lots of times we don't bother with car or parking to go to Pecan Street Festival or try the newest watering hole downtown.

A mix of treasured vintage cottages, historic mansions, restored ramblers and sleek modern showplaces, Zilker neighborhood is picturesque, interesting, friendly and fun.

We recently stayed here for six days while in town for a competition for my teen daughter. Everything was wonderful! The unit was pristine and the location couldn't have been better - close to restaurants, grocery stores and the Zilker Park loop. Kay is the best host ever! So kind and accommodating. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

"La Serena" is a wonderful description for this property. Though not far from all of the Austin downtown hustle & bustle, this location is tucked away in a cute, quiet neighborhood that is peaceful and serene. All of the accommodations were stylish and comfortable. A perfect quick getaway at this place was just what we needed. We will definitely be back.

This property, and Kay, it's owner, are just wonderful. The charming and well appointed unit sits in the trees and in the morning, sitting on the screened in porch is a relaxing way to start the day or end an evening. The neighborhood is lovely and its an easy walk to parks, dining and entertainment. This is the very best rental we have ever stayed in over the years. The aesthetics of the space are just perfect and Kay has been amazingly thoughtful in all she has selected for a comfortable, relaxing and restorative stay. There are windows everywhere with wonderful views of lovely gardens.

We came to Austin to see the eclipse, visit with family, and take in some local experiences. The photos represent exactly what you will find—clean, light-filled spaces with all the amenities you need to be comfortable. The host is incredibly thoughtful, kind, and generous and has carefully considered of all the details that will help her guests feel at home. We were pleased to have starter coffee and fixings because we arrived in the middle of the night, when all the stores were closed. She even left the lights on for us (which, having arrived in a few pitch black VRBOs, we particularly appreciated). We felt both welcomed and informed. The location of the property gave us the option to explore some of Austin’s most famous locations on foot, and we had a wonderful time doing just that. If we get the opportunity, we will stay here again.

Hard to believe that you’re in the middle of bustling Austin when you stay at La Serena…a lovely name for a lovely home away from home. Everything you would need is comfortably furnished for your stay and from every window you see beautiful old oak trees gently moving in the breeze. Restaurants are just down the hill with lights to safely cross the street. We’re looking forward to our next stay!
