Waterfront vacation rentals in Rainey Street Historic District, Austin

BEAUTIFUL location and home!!! Extremely picturesque, feels secluded and private, the bathroom is gorgeous, all the amenities are perfect and George and Kim were amazing hosts, went above and beyond to make sure we were extremely comfortable and had a great vacation.

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.

Great place to stay at, pool was smaller then expected but went the Travis lake instead!! Then got Craig O’s pizza

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.

What a great location and beautiful yard!

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!

My Lady and I celebrated our three year anniversary here for a week. Maya was a great host. Everything was listed as it was. The entrance also had some updates and she let us know. The view is very breathtaking and the house was very cleanly and welcoming for us. There are instructions on how to use most utilities in the house. (the stove was very nice and required some figuring out haha) The master bedroom has a TV that comes down from the ceiling using a remote. The area is very quiet. The patio has a grill and some tables to eat outside if you wish. Maya will let you know if any lawn care contractors will be coming to help clear brush, so critters don't make homes where you walk around. Overall this is a great place to stay. Not only for the amazing view and home, but you'll also be having a host that will make sure you're taken care of and will answer you promptly. 10/10. We would stay here again. Thank you again Maya

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 enjoyed our stay at Jenelle's place! We brought our dogs and they loved the huge yard and direct access to the lake! We also enjoyed the relaxed environment of being out back. We made s'mores in the firepit and made use of the kayaks they offered! The outdoor space really ticks all the boxes! The inside looks just like the pictures. Beautiful kitchen on the second floor with a good, smaller kitchen on the first floor. Above all, Jenelle was really accommodating to us and made sure we enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. She also sends a very helpful guidebook ahead of time to help plan your stay, which as someone who loves to plan and stay organized I really appreciated! Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Austin!

Jay's place was absolutely amazing. Very peaceful, clean, comfortable, easy to find and even has neighborhood park with pickle ball, pool and lake access. Close to lake Travis and Austin, but with a private and exclusive feel. The pool was amazing, but most of all the host was very responsive, respectful, friendly and accessible. It overall is a 5 star experience! I would definitely go back and I highly recommend!

Lovely home and beautifully decorated. We had to stay for a week for my husband’s job and I work from home. It has a cozy office with great internet and a nice patio to hang out in the evening. The home was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

An amazing property with a kind hostess. We felt the warm welcome and charming southern hospitality just oozing out of this place. They provided every supply for our weekend except our food and drinks. There was charcoal for the bbq, kayaks and life jackets for the river, abundant firewood and sticks for s'mores, bubbles, floaties for the pool, a blender for making drinks. We saw a heron, owls, a friendly cat, and few deer grazing on the property one morning. The whole weekend was like a little taste of paradise. Thank you.

Great property! The house is well laid-out and has everything you could want for a fun weekend on the lake. We loved all the amenities and games and had plenty of space for our large group. Jacob and Leslie were awesome hosts and made sure our stay was stress-free. Highly recommend !

Everything was great. No need for many words. THANK YOU !

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.

The stay was very cozy and relaxing. Wonderful place for a small or big family staying for a couple nights or even longer . Very spacious for a family party or any gathering . Restrooms and bedrooms are clean and comfortable and the amenities are a plus . Nice and friendly environment of people around as well. The view at night is even better than the day. Bright stars and lake looks so beautiful. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon.

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.
