About this property
Lux SoCo Penthouse in the Heart of Austin
Welcome to your luxurious Austin landing pad. The SoCo Penthouse is located right off South Congress, a stone's throw from Austin's best shopping and dining. Sleep on the third floor in a comfy king bed with your own large deck overlooking pecan trees, Austin sunsets, and South Congress vibes.
While we are close to all the action, once you walk through the gate into the private front yard, you are in your own little oasis. You likely won't need a car, but if you have one, we offer an off-street parking spot behind our remote controlled gate (it's perfect for "normal" sized cars, but we can't accommodate camper vans or long trucks).
As we are next to a lively area, including a boutique, 4 star hotel, you may catch some of the buzz from South Congress, especially on weekends. That said, we're also nestled next to a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, and we’re committed to being great neighbors—so no parties, please. Think relaxed evenings with a glass of wine, not rowdy nights out.
You should also know our home has a modern style with tall ceilings and lots of light-filled rooms with high-up windows. Some of the windows don't require or accommodate coverings. While there is ample privacy, you will not have the ability to "black out" rooms. We do have fresh eye masks and earplugs for your use, but if you need full control of the light, this will not be the best place for you.
Finally, there are stairs! We technically have 3 stories, so you will need to carry your luggage (and yourself) up the stairs. We think it's worth it to enjoy the "treehouse" vibe, but we completely understand that doesn't work for everyone.
Once you arrive, you’ll find there’s no shortage of amazing things to do nearby—we’re happy to tailor recommendations based on your interests. Whether it’s food, music, shopping, or nature, Austin’s got something special for you, and we’d love to help you experience it like a local.

Such a great property and the owner was amazing! Location is perfect with great access to everything in walking distance and in a safe quiet neighborhood.
If I could give 6 stars I would! Fantastic property and location. Exceeded expectations. Loved the interior design as well as functionality, equipped with everything you may need for a great stay. Communication with host was excellent. Highly recommend!
Great condo. Great location. We felt like we were at a 5-star resort. There are some stairs, so if you have mobility issues, this is not the place for you. Otherwise, it's perfect. Would definitely stay here again.
We loved this place. The location was amazing! Having the coffee shop next door was wonderful. The beds were very comfy and had great sheets and the balconies were awesome and we ate pecans from the tree out front. I would highly recommend this place.
Well maintained and cared for accommodation. The condo was very clean and came with amenities as described. We had a great stay here. Fantastic location just off of South Congress, excellent coffee shops and restaurants within a few steps. (Access to the condo’s first floor does require a flight of steps and same for access to the second bedroom)
Had an excellent 3 night stay! Located close to all services needed including good food and shopping. Excellent proximity to downtown. The place itself was spacious and very clean. Well stocked and appointed. Beds were comfortable. TVs in both bedrooms was a plus. As was the secure parking space! Would definitely stay here again on a return to Austin.
Loved our stay and the house was very accommodating and near so much. The host was extremely good to work with and it’s such a nice property.
If I had any suggestions it would be to have some blinds installed in the downstairs bathroom, downstairs bedroom and living area.
I would definitely stay here again and suggest it to others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The location is ideal (residential yet basically on Congress for restaurant and shopping access), parking spot was a big bonus, and the place was perfectly equipped. We appreciated the kitchen necessities and extras, things that are often not well stocked in rental properties. The design and decor made my daughters feel pretty special during our week away from home. We'd definitely stay here again!
This is a beautiful home. We were very comfortable here and enjoyed the proximity to all the shops and restaurants on South Congress. Thanks so much Meredith!

This VRBO was GORGEOUS and in an AMAZING location. It’s super walkable/affordable Ubers to bars and restaurants, with a coffee shop right next door. We drove so the parking space was great. 10/10 would recommend staying here.
Please note there are a decent number of stairs so if those are tricky for you, this may not be the best rental but otherwise I HIGHLY recommend.
The property was perfect! 2 couples meeting in Austin for a weekend of catching up and exploring the area. It was easy to enter the unit - no problems. The living space was spacious and comfortable. It was great to have 2 full bathrooms. The decks were also great! Lot's of choices for food, and entertainment. There was also a little grocery store within walking distance for wine and snacks. Fun time!
Lovely location. My only suggestions were that the soap was watered down in bathroom and there could be improvement in the cleanliness. There are cobwebs and vents very dirty. Would recommend extra towels.
Three Night Stay for ACL 50th Anniversary Celebration
My wife and I booked the property for visit to Austin and the ACL 59th anniversary celebration. When we arrived We loved the property! It was well represented in the listing and was even better in person! Love the location being a half block off of Congress avenue. The unit was full of natural sunlight and very open. Loved the three balconies and other outdoor space. Having private parking with a remote gate was a nice bonus! We plan to return again soon!! Thank you!!
I set up this reservation and could not be more happy with what my wife and her friend experienced. From my perspective, Meredith was excellent with communication and the website was fantastic. My wife’s comment is below:We absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous property. The space was beautifully designed, clean, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The location couldn’t have been better—tucked away from the main street chaos, it is just steps from South Congress, with tons of amazing restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques all within walking distance. It felt like the perfect home base for exploring Austin. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish, convenient, and cozy place to stay!
Our stay at this VRBO property in Austin, TX, was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to its unbeatable location and comprehensive amenities. The house was a perfect blend of convenience and comfort, allowing us to explore Austin's attractions easily while offering a serene retreat to come back to. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and inviting outdoor spaces ensured our every need was met, enhancing our experience with a touch of luxury.
What truly distinguished our stay was the exceptional hospitality provided by the owner. Their immediate and friendly responses to our inquiries made us feel exceptionally welcome and cared for. We wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay in Austin, underpinned by outstanding service.
Centrally located SoCo oasis … and a very helpful host
Aside from some hiccups with figuring out the parking space sliding gate and the delayed knob turn required to use the keyless entry code, our stay was pretty perfect. Spacious multi level living for privacy and very comfortable mattresses with luxury bedding. Two large smart tvs. In house washer and dryer. Roof deck with chairs and table. Within walking distance to really great restaurant options and shopping. If you walk away from SoCo, there are walking trails — a pretty, quiet way to access the river. We really loved exploring Austin and using this great home as our base.
This was the most perfect place and location right off of south congress! We loved our stay - it was spotless, well located and with thoughtful touches. Would absolutely stay here again.
Very clean and comfortable. Having 2 bedrooms and bathrooms was great for the 3 of us. Half a block from South Congress is a great location. I’d stay there again.
