Love that Austin Vibe! Treetop deck, king bed. Walk to downtown, dining & music.
About this house rental
Situated in Zilker, this charming house for $250 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Located in Zilker, one of Austin's most charming, walkable and convenient vintage neighborhoods, La Serena is secluded and peaceful. Nestled among centuries old Live Oaks, the building was architect-designed and purpose-built for guests. No other living unitsare in the building. Up the stairs is an open landing leading to the screened deck high in the tree-tops. What a great place for morning coffee or an evening libation! Open the double French doors to combine the living area and deck creating an inviting indoor-outdoor space. High ceilings, white oak hardwood floors, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, contemporary furnishings and abundant natural light grace the interior. The bright spa bath has plenty of gorgeous granite counter top space, dual under mount sinks, under counter drawers, cabinets and a large mirror. The over-sized shower is enclosed by a frameless glass door and outfitted with Kohler Purist shower head, a balance bar, foot rests and a product niche. Fluffy white towels and soap are handy. The well-lit bedroom boasts a king-size bed and high quality linens; wall-mounted reading lamps are within easy reach. Room darkening window coverings encourage lazy mornings! No need to live out of a bag; a roomy closet and ample shelf space lets you unpack and relax! Google fiber internet and smart TV. Remote controlled mini-split units provide quiet and comfortable heating and cooling. The kitchen is equipped with microwave oven, coffee maker, blender, dishes and cookware, German-made Blomberg dishwasher and gas range. I've placed coffee, sweetener and creamer on the countertop to get you started your first morning. You'll notice the mini-island with micro in the kitchen area. One of my best ideas: it's on wheels! Move it around to serve as a pass-through counter from the kitchen window to the deck, put it at the corner of the kitchen for extra prep space, place against the dining room wall for a handy bar. The full-sized refrigerator has lower drawer freezer. The glass top table is a perfect size for casual dining as well as for spreading out a map or taking care of paperwork. La Serena has an 8x10' storage and laundry exclusively for you. Bring your bikes, your golf clubs, your sports stuff. This windowless room has an electronic lock, houses a washer & dryer and space to keep items you don't want underfoot. Parking is off-street on a concrete drive; a dedicated walkway leads to La Serena. A City alley runs behind the property. This means an extra measure of privacy since no back yards are directly behind you. A short walk down the hill to Barton Springs Road you'll find the #30 bus stop. Check the Capital Metro web site, capmetro.org for maps and schedules. Our bus, #30, goes downtown; hop off at the 4th St stop to be in the thick of things downtown. Lots of times we don't bother with car or parking to go to Pecan Street Festival or try the newest watering hole downtown. A mix of treasured vintage cottages, historic mansions, restored ramblers and sleek modern showplaces, Zilker neighborhood is picturesque, interesting, friendly and fun. If you're in the habit of an evening stroll, come out. Our streets are quiet and walkable, the neighbors enjoy visiting, taking the dog around the block, checking out the progress of the latest new buildings. Join us and live La Vida Local in Zilker!

There is so much to like about this property. The host is great and very helpful. The location to Barton and Zilker is excellent, yet it still in a quiet neighborhood. You can tell this property is well taken care of and has everything a couple would need.

The unit was amazing and exactly what I needed for my stay. The unit gets a great amount of sunlight and you can tell that a lot of thought was put in when the unit was built. The screened in balcony was amazing to sit and relax in when having morning coffee and the backyard it beautiful. There is a ton of privacy from the main house and plenty of curtains/blinds for privacy from neighbors. Kay was an amazing hostess. She was so helpful pointing out a ton of features that came in handy for us such as the cart and laundry/storage unit available to guests. This was so amazing as we were in town for a wedding and had boxes and boxes of decorations that we needed to store for the weekend. I also ended up forgetting an item after leaving and Kay texted me quickly so that I was able to retrieve it before leaving town.

Our stay at La Serena was fantastic. Kay is a superb host, and very communicative. She was very accommodating with check in/check out times, and made us feel safe and well cared for. The property is a gem and well appointed in a great setting. The property is walkable to Barton Springs pool and a couple restaurants. Overall, will look to stay at La Serena again next time I’m in town! Thank you Kay for a wonderful experience.

Kay’s home was amazing, brand new and beyond clean. The king sized bed was very comfortable and spacious for my fiancé and I. Kay was an amazing host with great communication and also very accommodating. The property was very quiet but also a very short walk or drive to local attractions which was amazing. We had an unbelievable time and stay while in Austin and hope to be back soon! Thank you Kay!!

We stayed here for a few days while celebrating our wedding anniversary. Kay was a wonderful host, very communicative and welcoming. The unit is exactly like the pictures, if not even cuter. The balcony is perfect for morning coffee and/or night caps with very comfortable rocking chairs. The kitchen has everything you need, the bedroom is bright and comfortable. Great quiet neighborhood but just a short Uber to all the nightlife shenanigans. Ten out of ten would recommend!

I can not say enough good things about this little apartment. It was perfect in every way. I wasn't sure going in since it is in the host backyard, BUT it couldn't have been better. We felt very secluded in our well-appointed treehouse. The decor was done in a way to make guests feel relaxed and welcomed. It was all updated, stylish and very clean. Our first night there, Kay answered our call when my husband had trouble getting the basketball game on the TV and she stayed on the line until it was resolved. She had pictures included on the instructions to the house and how to check in. I loved the neighborhood. We walked to Barton Springs Park, Zilker park and along the Colorado River. We were able to walk to all the places we wanted to eat. The original Chuy's, Terry Black's BBQ, Baby As, Lou's just to name a few. It was so peaceful and comfortable I was able to get my writing done. When we go back to Austin we will stay there again. I highly recommend it for a place to saty for a solo trip or couple's stay.

Perfect location in a really cool neighborhood. Everything went smoothly and without issue. Amenities were nice and comfortable, and I slept like a rock every night. On top of all that, Kay is a very kind and helpful person, who has thought of everything. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful 9 days in Austin. This VRBO is in a great location. It is very well equipped and the owner was most helpful and willing to suggest local restaurants and sites to enhance our stay. If we return to Austin hopefully this special place will be available again.

Kay is the perfect host there when she is needed but never intrusive. Very happy to give local information. The apartment over the garage is very quiet (as is the AC) and perfect location for the parks , city and nearby hill country. Having stayed in many properties world wide this is one of the cleanest we have ever had the pleasure to stay in, It is well equipped, soft linens and perfect for a couple. There is nothing negative to say about it.
