The Hideout at Hardly Dunn
I LOVED THE LOCATION, it was so quiet and peaceful will be back again even though I live 10mins away. Thank you for everything!

Walkable East Austin Casita
Loved staying at the Casita, great for a weekend getaway!

Guest house with private driveway and fence.
There was a storm the night before our arrival. Mark was over at our rental making sure we could get in private driveway. He greeted us & made sure we had code to get in. Everything in the place was thought through. Had water & sodas in the fridge for us. Easy in & out & quiet neighborhood.

Modern Aframe Tucked in Nature **hot tub & view**
What a wonderful cabin! We had a great time staying at this A frame. It had all the necessities without clutter. The deck was great and has a perfect view of the sunset. We appreciated the efficient use of space and the outdoor shower was fantastic after trips to the river. The hosts were very thoughtful and communicative. Highly recommended for couples.

6 Bedroom Villa | Pool | Hot Tub | Party Cabana
We came to town to celebrate a combined bachelor/bachelorette party and this was the perfect place to stay! Everyone was able to have their own private room, the space was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. Private backyard. Joshua was always quick to respond when we needed something and took care of us. Would highly recommend staying here.

Charming East Austin Retreat, Close to it All!
We had a great stay at Johann's place - it's a wonderfully clean, spacious, and stylish house that's even better in person than it is in the pictures. Great coffee, tacos, pizza, and cocktails right around the corner (2 minute walk), and a quick drive to most everything in Austin. Can't recommend highly enough, and look forward to staying there next time we're in Austin!
Willies Place
Great place to stay! The place was exactly as promised, very cute and very close to multiple great restaurants/activities!

French Place Retreat - East Austin
Christopher’s Place was the first spot I ever stayed in Austin, and it set the bar. Though it’s a studio, it feels spacious, beautiful, and has everything you need — truly unmatched at its price point. I’ve explored other options as I’ve traveled to Austin for work, but nothing compares. Christopher has even added upgrades like a workstation with a monitor, making it ideal for work-from-home stays. It’s become a favorite for me and my pups, and I’ll keep coming back as long as he’ll have us!

Beautiful Bungalow with HOT TUB, Fireplace & Yard
Thank you for a wonderful stay at your cozy home! I appreciate the comfortable beds and clean space. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore downtown Austin. Your quick responses and helpful recommendations made our trip so much smoother. The hot tub was amazing and overall it was a great escape for the hustle and bustle. Thank you again for a memorable stay. We would definitely recommend your listing and would love to stay with you again.

Stylish house 10min from Domain. King & Queen beds
Great place to stay! Quick response and very clean!

Cozy Modern Cottage with Quiet Back Yard
Unfortunately, my husband and I were unable to stay at Carole’s for the duration of the trip. She was a gracious host and was able to work with us to refund our trip after having to cancel for personal reasons. Carole’s listing is in a wonderful location, well maintained and very thoughtful details for guests traveling from all over with a list of recommendations!
The Austin Texas House South Congress Stay and Enjoy
This house is the total Austin vibe. I wish I could live here! And the location is absolutely impossible to beat to be able to walk to all things cool in south Austin.
Family friendly homes in Austin

Comfort in Central Austin and pet friendly!
We've stayed here for both short and long visits - it's a great spot. Very convenient, walkable to popular restaurants, and centrally located for all that Austin has to offer.

Cute Eastside Bungalow - Perfect Austin Base
Cute little very old house. Nothing fancy but has everything you need. Location was easy for getting around by car. Easy street parking, some restaurants/coffee/smoothie shops around. Washer and dryer was nice to have

Bright & Cozy Haven in East Austin
This was a great place for us to stay; we really appreciated all the live houseplants, the piano, the hammock and the bidet :) It was a home away from home!

South Congress Secret Bungalow
This is the perfect location for a vacation in Austin. Walk to the Continental Club and all the other bustle of South Congress. Grab a day pass for the pool at Austin Motel (great bar!), right next door. Quick bike or uber ride to Barton springs or over to the east side. Matthew was very welcoming and helpful. Beds were super comfy and the shower was fantastic. Stylish deco. Kitchen is original to the old house, so not super conducive if you want to cook a lot, but definitely sufficient for breakfast. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Hyde Park Casita
10/10 stay at this beautiful Hyde park casita. Will absolutely be rebooking when in Austin. Thanks, Christopher for the sweet digs.

Gorilla House - Backyard Oasis
The house was perfect in every way. We stayed there with my elderly parents and everyone loved the beds, bathrooms and the backyard. The hosts very friendly and accommodating. We would love to stay there again!! We had a small gathering after my nephews college graduation and the home was perfect for everyone.

Private Pool + Hot Tub + Game Room W Arcade
loved our stay beautiful home and wonderful backyard with a fabulous pool and hot tub. we had an issue with the pool light and they immediately helped us find an alternative and tried to fix the light. Loved this bnb would definitely return when we are back in austin!

Your guide to Austin
Introduction
The Texas capital is a mecca of everything the state does best: inventive cuisine served from its food trucks; live entertainment celebrated at festivals touting music, tech, and extreme sports, and of course the all-essential SXSW; and plenty of outdoor experiences that call for biking, hiking cycling, swimming, bouldering, and kayaking year-round. Downtown Austin is the center of it all, with a thriving arts and shopping scene by day and lively nightlife after the sun sets, especially on Sixth Street and in the Warehouse District. Take a step back in time in South Austin, where beloved restaurants and classic architecture surround the biggest city park. The fast-growing neighborhood of East Austin, an eclectic enclave of food and boutiques, is another great spot to explore.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Austin
Austin boasts 300 sunny days a year, but there’s no denying that the city sizzles in the summer, with July being the hottest month. Average high temperatures are in the 90s Fahrenheit from June through September, with lows only getting into the 70s. Winter is a far more temperate season, with highs in the upper 50s to low 70s and lows dipping into the upper 30s. Spring and fall are the most pleasant seasons for a vacation, with highs usually in the 70s and 80s and lows in the 50s to 60s. The clearest skies arrive between July and November, with the highest average days of rain in May.
Top things to do in Austin
Texas Capitol
The Texas state house is as grand in stature as the state is in size, earning a spot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and being declared a National Historic Landmark in 1986. Made of sunset red Texas granite, the three-story capitol building is the largest in the nation — yes, it’s more than 14 feet higher than the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC. But the true beauty is in the details, such as the ornate oversized brass door hinges and chandeliers with light bulbs that spell out “T-E-X-A-S.” Take a free half-hour tour or pick up a map to take a self-guided tour.
Congress Avenue Bridge Bats
No bat signal needed! One of the most stunning sights in town is this fascinating natural phenomenon as between 750,000 and 1.5 million bats — the largest urban colony on the continent — fly out from under the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge every night at dusk.
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
Founded by Lady Bird Johnson and actress Helen Hayes in 1982, the 284-acre University of Texas at Austin Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is committed to preserving the state’s native plants, with more than 900 species on site. There’s also an arboretum with more than 70 kinds of Texas’ native trees.
