Summary:

Four bedrooms, 14 guests, and South Congress is a three-block walk from your front door. This Bouldin Creek home is built for groups who want to actually live Austin rather than tourist it — local art on the walls, a screened porch lounge, a fire pit backyard, and Terry Black's BBQ five minutes away.



The Space:

This is one of those houses that earns its keep the moment you walk through the door. The great room opens with 18-foot vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, clerestory windows, and walls hung with large-scale local artwork — including murals painted directly on the walls that remind you immediately that you are in Austin and nowhere else. The kitchen runs the full length of the back wall with warm wood cabinetry, a bold red lacquered backsplash, a professional-range stove with pot filler, and three bar stools at the island. It is a kitchen that actually fits a group of fourteen.



The screened-in porch off the main level is its own room — cedar-paneled walls, floor-to-ceiling screens, deep sectional seating, a flat-screen TV, and a bar area. In the warm months it becomes the default gathering spot from mid-afternoon until the outdoor curfew. The backyard runs behind the house under a mature live oak canopy with a fire pit, cornhole, a hammock, and a gas grill. Two separate dining areas inside the house seat the full group without crowding.

    Nice location. Quiet street, yet close to some good restaurants, and an HEB. Very convenient.

    The house generally matched the listing, and the location is excellent. However, our experience with the management company significantly impacted our stay.Before arrival, we were required to sign an additional contract. While I understand protecting a property, I expected customer support in return. What we got was not even a basic support. When we arrived, the house-wide smoke detector system was going off intermittently, then continuously. The response from management was dismissive — the issue was minimized, and we were asked to change batteries ourselves despite alarms throughout the house and noise severe enough to make the home unusable.Maintenance took over 3 hours to arrive. By then, the alarms had stopped. The technician changed some batteries and left. At 12:30am, the alarms started again. No one answered the emergency number, so we called the fire department. They identified and removed the faulty detector and informed us the smoke detectors were over 20 years old and overdue for replacement.Separately, the Wi-Fi did not work, and there were loose tiles in the upstairs bathroom.Problems can happen in any rental. The issue was how they were handled. We were left to troubleshoot and manage serious problems ourselves, and the customer support did not meet expectations. When I later requested a refund, I was asked to sign a non-disparagement agreement first, which reinforced the sense that protecting the company mattered more than resolving guest concerns.

    We picked this place for its proximity to S. Congress St. so that we could walk to restaurants/shopping/music. It worked well for our group of 8 women. Fire pit area was nice to happy hours.

    Our family visit to Austin was made more enjoyable by having a clean, welcoming place to stay. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and easy walking distance to the busy South Congress area. Having 4 bathrooms was definitely a plus for 10 guests. The house could use a little maintenance on the shower stalls but it was manageable. The property manager was very responsive and courteous.

    This was perfect for our group of women, aged 35-65. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Perfect location for walking to south congress and easy access to other areas of Austin.

    My friends and I had an amazing stay here. Quiet neighborhood, great location just a few blocks from Congress street, and the house itself fit everything we were looking for. Would come back here the next time we make our way to Austin.

    Overall, the house & location were great. The hospitality & responsiveness of the property management company was quick & efficient. We really enjoyed our stay & would rent this property again. The house was very nice but not sure I would call it luxury. There were a few small details that may need to be addressed. There are many different light switches & it's confusing at first. Would be great if they were labeled. There is really nowhere to put luggage in the bedrooms so it would be nice to have luggage racks in each of them. The furniture cushions in the screened porch area are old & tired. It was not comfortable to sit for any length of time. The sink in the upstairs guest bath isn't big enough to even wash your face in which was strange. The kitchen isn't well stocked if you are cooking a big meal but I'm sure most guests don't do that. It would be nice to have more than 2 barstools for such a big bar area. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and again, the location & the property management team were 5 star.
