Cozy Cottage Near Downtown and University of Texas
Our 2-bedroom, 1 bath bungalow is located in the heart of the Hyde Park/North University area. Built in the 1930’s, the house has been lovingly restored and updated. The house has lots of period details, including a screened-in back porch, hardwood floors, custom moldings, and divided lite doors. It is furnished with quality modern and antique furnishings, original art, luxury linens, and enjoys super strong wifi.
Behind the house are two studios which can be rented separately to add additional space if you have a large party. (To view the downstairs Studio, please type 477027 into the VRBO search bar; to view the upstairs Studio, type the number 721797).
You can enjoy the many activities and amenities in this charming historical neighborhood, which is only minutes from the University of Texas and Downtown Austin. Just blocks away is the charming Hyde Park neighborhood center, where you will find an old-fashioned grocery, a coffee house, a gelato bar, and great local restaurants.

Loved this property
We truly enjoyed staying at this property. The house was clean, and inviting, and fun stay to in. Sitting on the back porch was a lot of fun. The neighborhood was safe and filled with similar homes (those were fun to look at too). It was close to everything we planned to do. I always feel that the best way for me to rate a home is if I came back to Austin, would I stay at this home again. For this home, it is definitely yes.

House not cleaned after last guest, owner refuses refund
We booked for a week, based on good reviews including cleanliness. The listed check-in was 4pm but Ann agreed that we could check in around 2pm. We arrived just after 2pm to find that the beds were unmade, used towels on the towel rail, cooker hob had fat splattered all over etc. We’d already noticed grimy, peeling baseboards on entry and ingrained dirt in several places, including windows, window frames, baseboards and cooker, also badly peeling paint and what could be mold, which made us think that it would take many hours to bring the property to a clean, hygienic standard.
We’ve stayed in many VRBO etc. properties over last 10 years and never experienced this before – owners make sure that cleaners go in after guests check out. We’ve never bailed out on a rental before, but didn’t think we should stay there so left and texted Ann to cancel and seek a refund. She said that the cleaner had obviously not been in and that she would go round and do it. We said that we had no confidence that the house could be made ready to a reasonable standard quickly, so would cancel.
Ann texted me at 4:12pm to say that it was ready, but we’d managed to find an alternative several miles away and didn’t want to risk losing it by going back and inspecting Ann’s house, especially as we had no confidence in her standards. I tried to agree one night’s amount with a refund of the rest of the week, but Ann has refused any refund, not even the saving on cleaning fee by us not staying there.

I felt so at home I didn’t want to leave!
Originally being from Austin I knew the neighborhood. It’s one that you drive through getting to super cool places, and wish you lived there. I thought about that every morning when I woke up in this perfect house, on a perfect street, in my (temporary) perfect neighborhood. The pictures speak for itself, the house is beautifully decorated. It’s also very functional, providing everything you need. The neighborhood is very walkable, with many great restaurants and lots of shopping nearby. It’s very quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend staying here. I’m hopeful it’s available the next time I’m back home in Austin!
