Waterfront vacation rentals in Downtown Austin

Dakota's apartment was an excellent stay. The view is absolutely amazing. The apartment itself is very elegant, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is sufficiently stocked for cooking and great coffee. The beds and living area furniture are very comfortable and a nice quality. The showers are also nice. The location of the apartment building is great and very walkable to restaurants and entertainment. The apartment building is nice, safe and efficient (as well as the valet parking). The front desk staff are friendly and will securely store luggage until check-in time. Note that the check-in staff seem to only rely on the host for details of the apartment, thankfully Dakota is very responsive. We look forward to staying here again!

The unit was clean and had everything we needed. I would suggest adding a full length mirror though. The rooftop pool was a nice amenity to have in the hot weather. It was within walking distance to Lady Bird Lake, the walking trail, Rainey St, 6th St and Congress St which was very convenient. You really didn’t need a car, but the valet parking was appreciated. My complaints would be the noise from the constant traffic on Route 35 and the bathroom floor gets very slippery with the moisture from the shower.

Loved it 😍

Great host and unique place. The night view of Austin city lights was an extra bonus. Thanks for having us!

We loved the apartment! The great location, super clean apartment, tasteful decoration, this apartment had everything we needed. I especially appreciated how clean the place was. Since it is located in the shopping areas, it can get noisy at night but earplugs were provided and we had no issues with sleeping. My kids slept in the second bedroom which was away from the street and they said it was super quiet. We stayed here for MOTOGP at COTA. Since this place is right off the highway, it was only 45 minutes away from the track. Maybe even shorter with toll roads. MO was very responsive with communication and super helpful. Easy check in and check out. Everything worked and was easy to operate. 100% recommended.

We had a great time over in Austin at this place, visiting for work. It afforded the team enough space to get work done and be in and out for meetings. Ubers readily available, great view of the city and had everything we needed for a great stay.

Host is very friendly and responsive. Beautiful location with a cute swinging chair next to the river. Apartment is older than it looks in the pictures, but has a lot of character. Would rent again, it's adorable!

We had an amazing stay at Julie’s place! The listing was even better than we could have imagined! The location being just off South Congress was great as we were able to walk to sightsee and for a coffee/food. We mostly loved how the place was across from a local park and trail system- with two little kiddos this was a huge bonus not to mention Julie and all the things we needed for our kids, a tv with access to their favorite shows and a pack n play bed for our little one. We are grateful for our stay in her mom.

Memorial weekend was nothing short of spectacular at this wonderful home! The location and amenities were exactly what we were looking for! We will be coming back to stay at this beautiful place!

This house was such a great, quiet, house on the lake. Plenty of amenities available between Kayaks, Floats, and life jackets, to a fully furnished home. If you bring your boat to tie up to the dock, be sure to bring plenty of fenders. The dock is very nice, but being on Lake Austin (narrow river) there are many surfers passing close by. The lake level is near constant year round, but is a very active lake. Would come back here in a heartbeat!!

We had a great stay! The check in/check out was easy. Everything was thoroughly explained and clear. The house was very clean and had plenty of beds, making it perfect for our group. Located in a cul-de-sac. The neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Siren's Cove was a great weekend getaway! It had everything we were looking for in such a beautiful location. The host was easy to get ahold of and was always quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. I would highly recommend this place for anybody that's looking for a great/quiet weekend trip!

You can't beat this location and the beauty of this home. Even though everyone said the water levels of Lake Travis were low , we couldn't tell as there was plenty of it and lots of water craft to watch having fun on the lake. The home was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Loved the sunsets and watching a storm move in while there. We enjoyed some of the restaurants nearby, too. We highly recommend this rental!

Our stay was amazing! Piyumi was very attentive and when having questions he responded quickly and answered my questions. The house was very beautiful and had everything we needed. With 8 guests we all had our own beds and the rooms were very clean and organized! A good plus was the park right in front of them home where there was a beautiful lake where you can fish and take walks. The neighborhood was very quiet and very nice. I will definitely come back and stay here again when we come back to Austin!

We had a memorable stay celebrating a special family milestone. The house is beautiful—spacious, tastefully decorated, and filled with natural light. Each room felt welcoming with beautiful plants and thoughtfully chosen, comfortable furniture throughout. The outdoor spaces were just as inviting, with a front lawn, and multiple seating areas in the back, including a hammock, and an equipped firepit for evening gatherings. The lake is absolutely gorgeous. The path to the water is not for people with mobility issues, but once you’re there, it’s peaceful and worth the effort. The hosts generously provided kayaks, pool noodles, and a generosity of fresh towels. The showers were gorgeous and strong, and the house was so well-stocked that we didn’t need a thing. Honestly, we could have spent the whole trip just enjoying the house and property. The host was friendly, kind, and responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

Amazing house with great amenities, beautiful yard facing the lake with beach volleyball courts right behind. felt very private & was all around amazing!! Hosts were great, very friendly & responsive

Top notch! Super clean, spacious, well situated apartment. Great coffee shop downstairs. Literally yards from all the fun. BUT quiet and relaxed. Cool gym. Comfy bed. Lovely view of the city from the bed.

Highly recommend. Great location it’s easy to everyone we had visited. Nice area too we always feel safe at home

Escape to the Hollows was the perfect place for a “staycation”. It was one of the best vacation rentals I’ve done. John was super responsive and friendly. When you stay there you want for nothing. You don’t need to bring anything other than your clothes and personal necessities. I’m already thinking of coming back to the Austin area for thanksgiving and Escape will be at the top of my list!

We had a wonderful 5-night stay in Austin celebrating my husband's 70th BDay with our two daughters. The experience was made even more special thanks to our fabulous hosts, Maelia & Liya. They were incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had-always ready with helpful recommendations for local events and dining. The suite itself was perfect for our family—2 bdrms, 2 baths, & a fully equipped kitchen with every amenity you could think of. From cooking spices and spray to honey for tea, pool towels, plastic glasses, and even a picnic basket for enjoying the pool area—it felt like everything had been thoughtfully considered. Speaking of the pool—it was absolutely fabulous! Plenty of reclining chairs made it easy to relax in the sun, & the view from the pool area was simply amazing. The location was also ideal, with lots of excellent restaurants nearby and just a pleasant 30-minute walk across the bridge to reach a variety of shopping options. We will definitely return

The condo is a 2-3 minute walk to Rainey St. Royal blue grocery is a short walk, the cafe down stairs is also convenient. If you want a breakfast bite or sandwich, coffee or COCKTAILS, press the button and your there:) The condo was clean, lots of towels. Very convenient and comfortable condo. Pool on the rooftop has amazing views with outdoor seating, perfect to enjoy a cocktail. The hosts are quick to respond and help in any way they can. I 100% recommend this place. I would definitely recommend having some delicious donuts from “Little Lucy’s” they are amazing donuts and you can order a dipping sauce. I usually get the maple bacon with caramel sauce.

Awesome place to stay in Austin! Amazing pool and great host!

Perfect location for taking a walk to 6th street and downtown area.

The accommodation was exactly what we needed for our stay in Austin. Clean, comfortable, and not far from downtown Austin, restaurants, and attractions. The Evolve staff were very friendly and quick to respond to any questions or concerns.
