We also have easy access to Barton Creek Greenbelt hike. VRBO should have a filter check box for โ€œOH my gosh you just gotta check out this location for spectacular activities.
Thought went into every detail of this home's design to create the ultimate Zilker Park vacation get away. We are 7 minutes TO ALL THAT IS DOWNTOWN. We do not have a view of the park but WE ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT NEXT TO IT AND BARTON SPRINGS POOL. NO RENTAL IS CLOSER. 900+ square feet of outdoor living deck space at this property.
This property sits 379 steps from ALL that is SO MUCH OUTDOOR FUN. Here, we are Zilker Park.

ABOUT THE DESIGN: This property offers you inspired design focused on the style and relaxed appeal of Austin, with flavors of Costa Rica. The overall vibe is "oversized loft" and absolutely โ€œa part of the park" with incredible floors made with huge individual rough flagstones, cool limestone walls and cedar wood ceilings. Restoration Hardware crystal chandeliers fill the dining area & lounge spaces with sparkling light. A breezy sun-drenched flex space at the far end of the home opens up to the main living area creating a huge social space. This area is so comfortable, relaxing and beautiful with banks of windows and a skylight. It is the perfect entertainment space for a large group. As a conversation/entertainment space, 2 overstuffed XL futon beds make up the sectional sofa. PLEASE NOTE SPECIAL 3RD BEDROOM DESIGN: If your group happens to need a third bedroom, then, this room, a gorgeous 7โ€˜ suspended cedar wall slides over and a 6โ€™ corrugated swinging door cleverly & privately tucks this space away with its own en-suite. This space is a MUST SEE-truly unique, fabulously fun & fully customizable for your needs any time day or night.
Enjoy cooking in a fully stocked stone and wood kitchen with a luxurious marble sink and custom gourmet prep island. The living/dining area is complete with 2 sets of French doors and 6 additional over-sized windows. A MASSIVE wrap around deck offers 4 distinct beautiful outdoor living spaces. There are 2 impeccable stone and stucco full bathrooms with rainfall showers. Off the master with king bed, a large fenced yard allows for any accompanying pet to roam freely. The 2nd bedroom is small but has queen bed and 2 custom built in XL twin bunk beds, very whimsical. The 3rd bedroom, as described above, when closed off is just plain cool and comfy with XL twin beds. In the dining space, a 7.5โ€™ custom cedar (built in place) table comfortably seats 8.
We are WALKING distance to so many of Austinโ€™s finest dining experiences, pubs, night clubs and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Umlauff sculpture garden half a block away.

MAYBE ADD TO ALL THIS CRAZY FUN ???....We have another amazing opportunity for you.... We are nothing shy of being THRILLED and HONORED to be associated with a FABULOUS private Austin chef, Mike Thompson. Mike has been to our properties and can be contracted privately to cater your in home event...whether it be a dinner, brunch or perhaps an in home cooking class or culinary demonstration. Wee know from personal experience that his privately chauffeured hill country wine tour is INCREDIBLE!!!!!! :)
Since we are so close to the park and downtown a great option would be to have bicycles delivered to you and perhaps do a guided tour. This can be set up by you through Mike's Bikes and Tours. SO - MUCH - FUN!!!
This property is an exquisitely restored/remodeled LUXURY duplex, lower level. The upper duplex is a vacation rental property as well.

Summary: This is a cute place to stay and convenient to walking paths and many funky austin hot spots! Communication with landlord is easy and Lisa offers lots of tips, recomondations, and check ins. The style decor is very clever and aesthetic. There are plenty of sleep spaces, and all are good for those who like firm mattresses. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and drinks - bring your own shower and hair wash supplies.

Summary: We stayed over new years with elderly parents and also 1yo baby and this place really felt like home away from home. Very good vibes, nicely decorated, fully equipped. The best part is the location as you are right on the park and just about 5 minute walk from the natural spring pool. The communication with the host was spotless and she went the extra mile to accommodate all our requests. Highly recommended

Summary: Our stay near Zilker Park was nothing short of magical. It was the perfect setting for both sides of our family to come together, cook, and celebrate the holiday season. The home itself was absolutely beautifulโ€”thoughtfully designed, impeccably clean, and stocked with everything we needed to make Christmas truly special.We couldnโ€™t have asked for a better location! We were just steps away from the Trail of Lights in Zilker Park, which made for enchanting evening strolls. We also enjoyed family walks down the trails around Lake Austin, taking in the stunning scenery and fresh air. Plus, being so close to South Congress was a dreamโ€”we managed to squeeze in some last-minute holiday shopping with ease!One of the highlights of our trip was hopping on Bird scooters and riding to Uchiba for an incredible dinner. It was such a fun and unique way to explore the city and capped off an already amazing day.This home provided the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories, and we are already talking about returning for future family gatherings. We canโ€™t recommend it highly enoughโ€”absolutely a 5-star experience!

Summary: Property was as listed and no surprises. Great for entertaining or just lounging around. Very close to Barton Springs and Zilker Park (walking distance) and close to most everything else Austin has to offer. Ample parking, supplies, beach towels, and well-appointed kitchen and grill. The family had a great time and will stay there again if the opportunity presents itself.
