We don't charge a security deposit! Where many hosts charge over $500, and where you as the guest risk them not returning your deposit – Austin Vacay remains guest-centric by charging a one-time, non-refundable fee (already included in your booking price) which provides up to $1,000 of coverage towards unintentional rental property damages (subject to plan terms and conditions). This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

Austin Vacay is proud to be able to service Austinites and travelers during these uncertain times. We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees. We encourage our guests to review Texas and Austin’s travel guidelines and restrictions before making a reservation. We must work together to ensure a safe environment for everyone that enters our properties.

Nestled in Central Austin, this area seamlessly blends historic charm with a lively urban vibe. With its proximity to the University of Texas, it's a hub for students, faculty, and young professionals, offering a wide array of dining, entertainment, and shopping venues. The neighborhood is adorned with charming bungalows, tree-lined streets, and community parks, providing a comfortable residential environment. The rich cultural diversity of the area is reflected in its unique boutiques, art galleries, and local eateries, making it an exciting place to explore. Combining the energetic spirit of the city with a cozy neighborhood feel, this part of Austin represents a distinctive and appealing lifestyle.

Scooters (Lime & Bird) as well as Lyft and Uber are the best ways to get around Austin, especially this close to everything. However, there are also a lot of public transportation options in this area (see CapMetro's website).
