Central East Austin is a diverse and dynamic neighborhood that is just a few minutes from downtown and yet still quiet. In addition to offering of some of Austin's best restaurants and music venues, it also has important history to explore. In the last century, highway 35 was a tool of segregation, with east (of 35) Austin providing a rich community for African Americans. See how this history lives on through a plethora of old and new businesses is this burgeoning neighborhood! There is a parking spot that you are welcome to use directly in front of the house and there is also plenty of street parking with no permitting or street cleaning concerns. The closest B-Cycle station is a 15 minute walk away at Victory Grill on 11th St. Many of the 6th St restaurants and bars are a 10 minute walk as well. If you would prefer not to walk, there are a selection of ride share services such as RideAustin (our favorite), Lyft, or Uber. The street has two names, Hamilton Ave and Richard Overton Ave. Depending on your map source you may see either one pop up. Richard Overton is the oldest living American and American World War II veteran at 112 years of age. He lives down the block where be bought a house after the war ended.

It was a little hard to find the correct alley at first, but that’s entirely on me. Overall, I loved my stay here. The hosts were responsive, very friendly, and everything was as stated. It had nice little touches such as shampoo and conditioner, plus a cute little kitchen. It was a great place to stay and I would 100% stay again.

The Overlook near UT/downtown. Primo location!

KimRating, 5 stars1 week ago

My stay at The Overlook was very relaxing and peaceful. The house is stocked with all the amenities needed to feel like a home away from home. I loved the gourmet kitchen. The appliances and gadgets are all top quality. I loved the fancy coffee maker and there is also a beautiful espresso maker if you’re into that. The hosts made it easy by providing ground coffee in the fridge as well as creamer! The upstairs bathroom has a beautiful shower and is fully equipped with everything you need. The bed I slept in was comfortable and the linens spotless. The decor is tasteful with a fun Austin/Texas theme. The yard is fenced and private. This house is the perfect place to stay if you want to be near all that Austin has to offer but also want to have a comfortable home-base to come back to and recharge your batteries!

A well-appointed bedroom features a spacious bed adorned with a patterned duvet and vibrant yellow throw blanket. Two bedside lamps provide gentle illumination, and large windows are dressed with sheer and dark curtains. Decorative elements include a wall mirror and artwork, enhancing the inviting atmosphere.

East Austin Zen Cottage

AmyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We loved this cute little house in Austin! It was so comfortable and cozy. The location is great and central to everything and even though it’s close to the highway we barely heard any traffic noise. Jennifer is a fantastic host and was so responsive to any question that I had. She went above and beyond to fix an AC issue and make sure we were comfortable. Absolutely would stay again!

Hyde Park Casita

TylerRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The process to find the casita is a bit complicated, as the address doesn’t fully match where the property is, but if you follow the check in directions exactly you shouldn’t have a problem (checking in after sundown does make it more complicated though). The place itself it perfect though! Exactly as described! Would definitely return!
