We don't charge a security deposit!

This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees. We encourage our guests to review Texas and Austin’s travel guidelines and restrictions before making a reservation. We must work together to ensure a safe environment for everyone that enters our properties.

Perfect ACL Festival Headquarters
We booked ACL Festival tickets late in the game and I was super happy to find this very nice property located so close to Zilker park. It was everything we needed and the perfect home base for our weekend. We parked the car and did not need to use it again as everything we needed was just minutes away. This was huge and driving and parking were crazy during the festival.
After making breakfast our first morning we just had a short walk to get to the festival gates. We enjoyed the music and were able to quickly walk back for breaks as needed.
The nice little swimming pool was just out the front door, super cute. We took a plunge each morning to recharge and fend of the 100 degree heat :) In addition to the pool, it was just a short walk to Barton Springs which we really enjoyed.
At the end of each night the super conformtable King bed and surpsisingly comfortable pull out sofa bed were just what we needed.
Check in and out was super easy and the needed tasks for checkout were super easy and minimal. The host was very responsive to questions.
Great place for ACL or any other visit to Austin.

Austin Eclipse
Location is unbeatable. Neighbors in the unit have clearly had bad experiences with other short-term renters here, judging by the looks we received coming and going. We were quiet as a mouse so I know the looks weren't meant to address our behavior. We live in a tourist town, too, so we understand.
Only complaint is that the management doesn't print out the house manual containing the wifi information or checkout procedures, and the cell service in the unit is bad, so unless you ensure access to the manual ahead of your trip, you have to try harder than you should need to acquire pertinent info. We're always running around like mad ahead of our vacations and adding this to the to-do list seems superfluous. Messages in the app don't hyperlink, so you have to manually enter the web address to get to the google doc with the information you need. Possible? Yes. Annoying and Avoidable? Also yes.
Also the shower head in the bathroom was hung comically low. I'm *not tall* and needed to crouch a bit to rinse my hair. Could be remedied with a detachable shower head.

Location, location, location!
This is an older apartment, very clean, and a block away from Zilker Park. Full kitchen, sharp knives! This was a perfect place to stay while my son was recuperating after surgery. Nice and quiet neighborhood. The coin operated laundry was conveniently located around the corner and was a must for our 2-week stay. The host was very responsive to our needs. Would stay here again!

Stress-free Austin
Simple getting there and into the apartment. Free parking in a safe area. I felt comfortable walking solo in the evening and early morning to the park. Great location for those wishing to enjoy Zilker Park, it’s less than 1/4 mile away taking the path almost from the apartment.
Inside is cool (A/C) and clean. The kitchen has essentials for simple cooking. The bathroom plumbing works well; shower head height is low for anyone 5’8” or taller but water pressure and temperature good so no complaints. The bed is comfortable and clean feeling.
We went in the pool. It gave us a feeling of the old TV show Melrose Place as we watched the residents coming and going since the pool is surrounded by the apartments.
Communication with the host was simple and responses were quick. I’d return here.
