Located in Austin, this welcoming cottage brings it all within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 10-minute drive to Sixth Street or the 9-minute drive to Moody Center (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the patio and firepit. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and DVD player.

A living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, an ice maker, and a microwave. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
