La Cassette at Messina Inn
We loved this place! Everything was blissful: hot tub, time by the river, downtown Wimberley. Amazing weekend! Great Airbnb!

Lakeside Sunset - Enjoy!
Angie is a great host!

RG 211 Guadalupe River Oasis
This was absolutely one of the best Air bnb's we have ever stayed at. The location was amazing and right on the river. It was extremely clean and well stocked with all the things you might need. The beds were the most comfortable beds we have slept in at any Air bnb. They were very responsive with any of my questions or concerns. We would definitely stay here again.

2BD Luxury Condo | Water Views | Pool | Rainey St
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!

Incredible View Of Downtown | Walk To Rainey St.
This Airbnb was incredible! The view of the Austin skyline from the living room absolutely lived up to the hype, sunsets and city lights felt like a postcard. The space was clean, stylish, and the amenities were just what we needed to relax between BBQ and adventures. Only recommendation? A bit more flexibility with check-in. A small crowd of tired travelers gathered like it was the VIP line to a concert, eager to settle in, but with nowhere to go until the clock struck 4:00 PM. That said, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for great location, skyline vibes, and access to all the cool stuff Austin has to offer.

Waterfront Loft w/ Pool + Park Views and Balcony
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!

Private condo in the perfect Atx location!
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.

Glamorous New Unit|Pool, Golf| 10 Min to Downtown
Loved staying in this apartment complex in an area of Austin that is growing. The complex’s amenities are very nice, and the apartment was well appointed.

What a view! RARE true waterfront
Don't hesitate, JUST BOOK IT!!! Michele's house is absolutely beautiful. Located right on the water with each bedroom having a private balcony, it makes for a perfect getaway from the city. Michele had some great recommendations for things to do in the area - restaurants, water activities, etc. My family and I had a wonderful time at Canyon Lake and we hope to be back soon! Thank you for hosting us :)

Haven on the Horseshoe
Great place to get away. Short walk to float the river but getting off and being able to walk to the location makes up for it.

Lakeside Retreat- Jacuzzi playground water front
First time staying at Canyon Lake. There was a group of 11 adults in our party. Everyone had to share a room, but that is expected with a group that size. Scott's property was nice and close to the lake. The hot tub was really powerful and so fun to use. We ran out of trash bags on our stay and Scott was quick to replenish our supply once I told him. My friends and I would definitely stay again the next time we come back!

Best Spot on the San Marcos River!
Good host, quick to respond. House was clean and well stocked. River is easily the best part. Steep walk but concrete and steel stairwell make access easy. Ankle deep water to at most waste deep. Located at a v of a river. lot of area to hang out in. Lots of shady trees near the river edge. Might need to bring a tent if you plan you stay in one spot and not move ALL day due to the sun moving but can definitely get by on what’s there. It was a great time. Also a big porch hangout area with lots of space.

Dockside Daphne at Canyon Lake ~ sleeps 16
Excellent stay with super responsive hosts! We especially loved the baby proofed space. All beds were super comfy. Such a beautiful home

Rusty Rock Guadalupe River Getaway
This place was great for so many reasons. private access to the river, so spacious, lots of beds and stocked with anything you may need on your trip. Definitely recommend for a group that is looking to have fun and float down the river. All of the kids in our group had a blast.

Canyon Lake Lakefront Getaway| Hot Tub Bliss
Our stay at this incredible lake house in Canyon Lake was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the panoramic views of the water, the peaceful surroundings, and the thoughtfully designed home. The house itself is beautifully maintained, with a perfect mix of modern comfort and rustic charm. Spacious bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and cozy common areas made it easy for our whole group to relax and enjoy our time together. The large deck overlooking the lake quickly became our favorite spot — ideal for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, and sunset dinners. One of the standout features was private lake access. We loved being able to swim, kayak, and paddleboard right from the backyard. Evenings were spent in the hot tub under the stars — truly unforgettable. The location is perfect: secluded enough to feel like a true escape, yet close enough to town for groceries.

The Boathouse on Cypress Creek, Wimberley central
Loved the house was a great size and would be a great place to rent out the other places on the property with friends.

Downtown Retreat w/ Pool Access | Mins to DTN
Highly recommend. Great location it’s easy to everyone we had visited. Nice area too we always feel safe at home

Downtown Rainey District 29th Floor
I recently enjoyed this stay, and it was everything I hoped for, relaxing, refreshing, and absolutely perfect! From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was inviting and peaceful. The building accommodations were spot on, and provided all the comforts of home with an added touch of luxury. I loved the bar (for drinks and coffee) downstairs. Friendly and attentive staff without being intrusive. Parking was by (24/7) valet or paid street parking only. I highly recommend this stay to anyone wanting the downtown Austin vibe.

Luxury Condo Walk to Rainey St & Lake, Pool & Gym
The place was amazing love the view. Host was very helpful, friendly and respectful. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in the Austin area.

2BD 2BA @Rainey • Rooftop Pool • 28F Skyline Views
Alex place was perfect for our girls trip! Loved the location and the views were gorgeous. Will stay here next time I'm in town!

Condo on Guadalupe River with Canyon Views-2/2
I stayed here for my best friend’s wedding and I was the best man 🥵😫. Lots of duties and running around, etc. This place made the trip so much less stressful and at the end of each day I got to get out on my paddle board and fish the river. I would want to be back here every weekend if I could! Melissa was awesome, we messaged back and forth about restaurants and grocery stores and recommendations for getting things I may need for the wedding or whatnot. The living room and balcony were my peaceful spots to watch some shows and re-tie fishing lines and baits. Kitchen was perfect for storing drinks and food and I loved the shower. Thank you Melissa, you have no idea how easy and great you made this weekend!

ATX Luxe 27th-fl Condo & Rooftop Pool w/ Lake View
Fell in love with this condo! Very cool building. Loved the concrete ceiling and decor and stylish finishings in this unit. Bed was very comfortable. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking at the river in both directions as well as the city skyline. You could see the bat bridge. Was very walkable to restaurants, bars and grocery store right around the corner. Rooftop pool was very nice and serene. Very well stocked had my favorite water and some fun drinks. Also had a curling iron which I very much appreciated with mine breaking in transit. They had everything covered in this place to make you feel comfortable. We really appreciate a well stocked airbnb. Also enjoyed some time kayaking the river. This condo made our Austin trip spectacular.

Spacious Luxury Condo. Steps from Lake & Rainey st
I enjoyed staying at this location. I would rent it again. There was a lot to do great View of the lake and surroundings. Overall, everything was great.

Waterfront Condo on Lady Bird Lake
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at David's home. The unit is exactly as advertised, and the proximity to the trail and river is even better than the photos show. We look forward to visiting Austin again and staying at David's home.
