King bed. King bed. Dining table. Large couch w/ bedding. Baby crib. STR licensed.

THE SPACE:

This historic and meticulously maintained South Austin bungalow provides every creature comfort you could desire:

The upstairs master bedroom includes a King bed, spacious hanging closet, ample drawer space, a large home office with desk, ergonomic chair, and whiteboard, and a wall-hung smart TV. A portable AC unit is also available for extra cooling power on those particularly hot summer days. The ensuite bathroom includes a scenic view of the backyard and pool and a walk-in, dual- headed shower.

The downstairs bedroom is similarly equipped with a King bed and wall-hung smart TV as well as two small hanging closets and ample drawer space. The ensuite bathroom includes shower-bathtub combo, a large vanity, and ample storage space.

As you enter the front door of the home, you are greeted by a spacious dining room just off the kitchen with standard seating for 4 but with sufficient space and additional seating available for groups of up to six.

Through the rustic barn door off the dining room, you will descend into a converted garage lounge that tend to be the primary in-door "hang-out" area. This space include a huge smart TV and Bluetooth vinyl record player connected to premium Elac speakers. A gorgeous leather couch can easily be converted into an additional twin sleeping bed with the extra bedding provided. A lavish bar includes a kegerator with built in taps, wine fridge, and mini fridge. Additionally, the space includes a dart board and several other games for guests' entertainment. A large glass sliding door offers beautiful views and easy access to the backyard and pool.

Through the other side of the dining room is a meticulously appointed kitchen with every culinary accessory you might need to feel right at home including William Sonoma pots, pans, and cutlery. A Keurig machine with coffee pods are provided. The home also includes an electric tea kettle and French press if for the baristas who prefer to go a bit more gourmet with their more java routine. Just off the kitchen there is a large pantry with all of your cooking and cleaning basics including spices, oils, and cleaning supplies.

On the far side of the kitchen nestled against a large picture window overlooking the backyard garden and pool is a cozy breakfast table for two with perfect lighting and the most serene setting to begin your morning.

There is also a laundry room on the main floor with stacked washer and dryer all essential cleaning supplies.

NEIGHBORHOOD:

Bouldin Creek is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Austin. It is located in the heart of South Austin between South Congress and Lamar. Bouldin Creek is centrally located around Zilker Park, Barton Springs, Downtown Austin, and South Congress. The neighborhood is very safe and walkable with world class shopping and dining minutes away. There is a top-notch convenience store called 1st Food Mart with craft beers and all essentials 2 blocks away. There are also several very popular restaurants across the street including Elizabeth St. Cafe, a local fixture for casual Vietnamese fare. My personal favorite BBQ join, Terry Black's, is a casual 0.7 mile walk from the house. I advise going at off hours if you want to avoid lines.

GETTING AROUND:

Driveway parking for one car. Ample street parking. Electric scooters are prevalent in the neighborhood. Ride shares are always available. Just a short 10 minute walk from South Congress restaurants and shopping. 1 mile to Lady Bird Lake running trail and dog park. 1.5 miles to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. 15 minute Uber ride from the airport.

Sadly, the listing photos are much nicer than the home today. Almost all the back yard furniture is gone, and what is left is ratty and old. On our arrival the pool had grass clumps, leaves, bugs, and worms with no scoop net. Dog poop, cigarette butts, and dead leaf piles were throughout the back patio. Inside furniture is old, worn, and stained, though the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was disappointing. The freezer was filthy with melted and re-frozen water, with mixed-in red food substance in a drawer, and an open bag of ice (the ice maker doesn’t work). Frig drawers are broken and don’t work. The large stove burner handle is gone and not usable. On 2 nights a live band was playing two houses down. It didn’t bother us, but you could definitely hear and feel the bass vibrations. We found 2” long dead and live cockroaches in the kitchen, TV room, and upstairs mobile air conditioner. We don’t have these in the PNW, so this was disturbing. The listing photos are either quite old or there is little attention to keeping up the home. Communication with Drew and John was cordial and timely. John offered to mow the lawn and apologized for the yard condition. We informed him of the cockroaches after the initial dying one appeared in the kitchen, and he said that is a condition of living in the south. The pool was nice and we used it daily. In spite of good reviews the home seemed poorly kept up, rustic, and of questionable cleanliness, especially at this price point.

The Owner/Host was very helpful and gracious. The backyard with pool was perfect for relaxing or swimming laps. Original back door and bathroom door and updated barn door are tricky, but function - be patient and enjoy the charm

The house is great, but the backyard is spectacular. The pool is shaded most of the day by large trees so you can enjoy the cool water on a hot day without overdoing it under the sun. The place is also conveniently located, mere minutes from downtown. But in a quiet and quaint neighborhood.

We had a great stay! I rate my stays based on location, cleanliness, and good for pets. It was 5 stars for all. The pool is great. The neighborhood is awesome and close to everything. The owner communication was good. He even let us know that we could check in early because the house was ready. We would absolutely stay again.

This is the place to stay in Austin. The house is located in a quiet neighbor that was literally within 20 minutes of everything we had planned to do in Austin (even better it was within 5 minutes to Magnolia’s for breakfast and Terry Blacks’s for the best barbecue). If you want to stay active on your trip then the pool is nice for laps and the neighborhood is perfect for ruining or it is about 1 mile to the river for a perfect running trail. The listing is spot on with what you will get with the property. The house has a nice lay out with separation between the two bedrooms for some privacy. The host’s communication could not have been better.

The property exceeded our expectations from the moment we stepped in. It has unique character with its decor and amenities. The beautiful backyard with pool is certainly the highlight. Location cannot be any better with walkable distance to restaurants and south Congress Will certainly come back next time

We rented this house for a friends getaway. The location is perfect, walking distance to a lot of great restaurants and a cool brewery. We loved the setup of the house, with the bedrooms each having their own bathroom and on opposite sides of the house from each other. Beds and pillows were really comfortable! The pictures don't do it justice - it's a unique and beautiful home, especially out back. I would stay here again!

We stayed at this house for a week and worked remotely there part of the time. The master bedroom was incredibly comfortable and we had great internet speeds for working and a great workspace area in the dining room. We also brought our two dogs. There was a really nice backyard for them. I would 100% stay here again. Property owner also had plenty of toilet paper, garbage bags, toiletries, etc. If you have a small dog, the front gate is high enough a dog could escape. We put a rock in front of it while we were there. The pool guy also keeps a bucket behind the shed that my dogs found. We flipped that over to keep them out. Otherwise, no complaints at all. We very much enjoyed our stay and how convenient it was to the city.

We loved our stay here. The house was perfect for our needs. It has everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We loved the backyard and wish we had room for our cornhole set in the car because that would have been even better. Our dog likes to try and escape fences and had no luck here. We felt she was very secure when we let her out. The location was great and it was nice to have a parking spot in the driveway. There was also available street parking. We hope to stay there again in the future.
