Pet And Family Friendly, Centrally Located With Lots Of Space
About this house rental
Situated in Austin, this lovely house for $253 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Minutes to South Congress, downtown, Whip In, HEB, Big Stacy Pool, shopping, live music, & all things SXSW and Austin City Limits (ACL). Easy access to Route 35 to drive to New Braunfels for floating the river, Gruene for shopping and dancing, and San Antonio. Easy access to 290/71 for trips to historic Wimberley and Fredericksburg. The house is truly in the heart of everything Austin and Central Texas has to offer. You’ll rent our residence and have the entire house with a dog door to the large backyard (no worries about returning to let your dog out) in an historic neighborhood with tons of character. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Master bedroom and both bathrooms are newly renovated. Free WiFi and cable with HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc. Outdoor fire pit, outdoor TV, a tree house, and numerous shade trees. Perfect for couples, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets). The home was built in 1925 and has a lot of individuality. Recent renovations have updated and modernized much of the house. However, the original floors, doors, and windows still remain and look incredible. Guests have access to the entire house and yard as well as the outdoor fire pit, a swing set, and a treehouse any kid would love. Travis Heights is one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Austin. As the city continues to expand both upward and outward, Travis Heights remains a beautiful pocket of unique single family homes, rolling hills, shade trees, and unquestioned personality. Lying within the heart of "weird" Austin, you have easy access to everything the city has to offer. There is free on-site, covered parking for two cars. 7 minute walk to Metro Bus Route 331 stop.

I rented based on reviews, and didn’t see April review until check in. the house was what we wanted for graduation weekend. DEAL WITH HOLLY-she’s nice! TODD LIVES HERE FULL TIME and seems to think everyone knows that ATX DOESNT GIVE PERMITS FOR STRs unless occupied by the owner…not true. There’s no owners closet so literally ALL OF TODDS STUFF IS EVERYWHERE! The closets have his clothes, drawers, bathrooms have toiletries that are his.
The house was dirty but Holly came and cleaned it. We stayed bc it was graduation weekend in ATX and we had planned all around the house for entertaining family. Which we did do after Holly came and cleaned. The furniture is worn and outdated and needs to be replaced. The photos are old so don’t expect it to look this way-more of a fraternity house feel. We did got some money back bc I didn’t think it was fair to ask for all of it since we actually did stay there. I tried calling Vrbo twice and got dropped; I did take photos and went room by room w Holly of the dog hair on the furniture, the worn out furnishing, the dirt and crumbs in the utensil drawer, how weird it was to have someone who lived in a Vrbo just vacate when rented and all their personal belongings in the house-usually they are spotless and not lived in. I feel like everyone should know this and TODD did not agree this MAJOR detail should be on the site…I strongly disagree! Lots of potential…needs lots of work…great neighborhood.

Okay area of town, very central to everything we wanted to see. Online photos are in NO WAY representative of the home. Mice droppings in kitchen, mold in shower, scum, main shower didn’t turn on as the shower head hung out of place. Carpet nails and scraps hanging from ceiling. So disappointed in general unkept peppery. Couldn’t use backyard as the wood chairs, table were splintered and old , playground falling apart, metal and wood piles in backyard. Ants in bathroom and dishes sticky, cabinets and drawers shoved so full of personal belongings we had no room for our things.

My husband and I really enjoyed staying at Algarita. It was conveniently located and the backyard was perfect for our pets.

This is a comfortable and quiet place to stay just 5 minutes from SoCo. We appreciated being able to take a road trip with our dogs. Our host was friendly and responsive. If you’re not looking for an upscale high maintenance experience, you will enjoy Todd and his property. We would do this again with our dogs!

Great beds! Quiet neighborhood in a central location. Very comfortable "home away from home"!

Loved the location. So close to Downtown/South Congress/UT Campus/Restaurants, etc. Mattresses, pillows and couches were very comfy. Cute quaint house and neighborhood. There were only 5 of us (adults) but the house can comfortably handle a lot more people. Back yard was amazing; this would be a great place to visit in the winter for enjoying the back yard and fire pit. It was quite hot (107 degrees) during our stay so we did not get to enjoy the back yard.

Our stay was lovely. The home is spacious and comes with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We chose this place for two main reasons: it’s proximity to the city and the playground/tree house. Being so close to downtown Austin was awesome and so many good local places to eat just minutes away. You could walk, ride bike, or scooter to most places but since we were traveling with kids we drove to wherever we needed. Biggest downside of our stay was that we did not get to use the playground/tree house as planned. On the day we arrived (at least an hour after check-in time) there was a gentle man power washing everything out back. We had planned to arrive and let our kids play but the wasn’t possible, the guy said he still had a while to clean and everything was very muddy. We tried to kill some time relaxing inside and hanging out on front patio but after a long drive. By the time he was done we had to get ready to leave for our dinner plans. My son was able to play late in the evening, some lighting out there but a little too dark for him play alone and it was till muddy from all the water sprayed for washing. That being said the play equipment and tree house are very fun and well kept/safe.

House was great. We came to Austin to reunite with some old friends and our new families. The location was great, close Congress and the city, easy to find and access. The backyard was perfect for hanging out, and for our dogs to run around and play. Everyone really enjoyed chatting around the fire pit. Beds were comfy and house was cozy. House also came with a great collection of movies abs Xbox games! TV in the backyard was a nice touch as well! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you to our host Mr. Todd Wilson, we really enjoyed our stay!!

Great location close to the highway. Getting a ride is very quick and easy. Difficult to walk to the party side of town however. The house is a bit quirky but it sleeps a ton of people, endless hot water too! Todd was extremely accommodating, there was tons of plates and silverware, coffee, alcohol, soap, endless amounts of towels and pillows! Really worked out swell, thanks so much!

House was located in a great location and had many amenities that helped us feel at home.
The floor plan would work well for 2 couples and a small child as one of the bedrooms is an office with a fold out couch attached to the master bed room. As a result, our adult son had to walk through our room to use the bathroom or get to the main part of the house.
Backyard would be perfect for a small family or a pet - it was a bit unkept when we were there.

The backyard is amazing. My great-granddaughter loved it! The beds are comfortable. As others have mentioned, the layout is a bit unusual, but it wasn't a problem for us. The kitchen was very well stocked, and the living room was comfortable. Todd was very nice; he stopped by one day to meet us. I loved the quiet neighborhood, which was nonetheless very close to I3. Very nice stay.

Property just as described! Very roomy inside with a cool layout. Worked perfectly for our group. Home had so much character and was just a laid back time. Very convenient to our events at the Circuit Of The Americas. Wife wants to come back again!
