About this house rental
Summary:
Four bedrooms, 14 guests, and South Congress is a three-block walk from your front door. This Bouldin Creek home is built for groups who want to actually live Austin rather than tourist it — local art on the walls, a screened porch lounge, a fire pit backyard, and Terry Black's BBQ five minutes away.
The Space:
This is one of those houses that earns its keep the moment you walk through the door. The great room opens with 18-foot vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, clerestory windows, and walls hung with large-scale local artwork — including murals painted directly on the walls that remind you immediately that you are in Austin and nowhere else. The kitchen runs the full length of the back wall with warm wood cabinetry, a bold red lacquered backsplash, a professional-range stove with pot filler, and three bar stools at the island. It is a kitchen that actually fits a group of fourteen.
The screened-in porch off the main level is its own room — cedar-paneled walls, floor-to-ceiling screens, deep sectional seating, a flat-screen TV, and a bar area. In the warm months it becomes the default gathering spot from mid-afternoon until the outdoor curfew. The backyard runs behind the house under a mature live oak canopy with a fire pit, cornhole, a hammock, and a gas grill. Two separate dining areas inside the house seat the full group without crowding.

Great location. Safe neighborhood. Can walk to most shops. Very clean
6 / 10Average·Feb 2023
To state first: the house is architecturally interesting and pleasing with the original art work and eclectic interior decor. So many rentals are so sterile and cold in appearance. This home was very refreshing. It was large enough for my family reunion. The location is great, within walking distance of restaurants and parks for the little kids.
Having said that, there are some problems, most of which are rooted in the mismatch between a house that states it sleeps fourteen and yet the does not support anywhere near that many. We were a family of 8 adults and 5 young kids....there were only five coffee mugs(!), the dining table was small and had only six chairs and the table itself was metal, very hard and cold and no table cloth or placemats available. There were plenty of towels....but no towel racks in the bathrooms, no place to hang damp towels after showers or have washcloths hanging out after use, which seemed really odd. Several of the closets had supplies stacked in them which gave limited use, particularly
the front door closet was so full of boxes of paper goods that we couldn't put our coats in there at all. It would be really helpful if the light switches could be labelled....there are a dizzying array of not very intuitive light switches all over the place. And the two upstairs bedrooms had great beds and mattresses; however the two bedrooms on the main floor each had very not comfortable ones....sagging slump in the middle, poor support, etc. And just of note: I realize that it may not be VBRO or Walker's capacity or responsibility to know but having a major house construction going on literally right next door was very loud and frequently annoying. I probably would have looked for another house had I known of that potential.
But I want to be clear, I would wish you to take the mentioned issues as observations that could be improved. The house is lovely, in a great location and we had a wonderful time in Austin!
