Heart of SoCo Private Suite: Uncommon Luxury, Unbeatable Location, Unusual Value

If Austin is the epicenter of where it’s at in USA, then SoCo (South Congress) is the epicenter of where it’s at in Austin. Just one block and mere steps from this mecca of eclectic shops, top-notch restaurants, and the quintessential Austin experience is your luxurious and quiet oasis. Your private entry to your suite is via a spacious deck shared with the onsite proprietors where you are welcome to read and relax under a lush canopy of ancient pecans. Once inside, you’ll be welcomed with amenities including chilled Topo Chico, Shiner bock, wine and filtered water, coffee/tea bar, and thoughtful treats. Your suite envelops you in serene luxury only steps from the lively bustle of South Congress. Your hideaway features luxury linens, two robes, a microwave, coffee maker and mini-refrigerator, free Google fiber wi-fi and flatscreen television. Walls of windows outfitted with built-in shutters illuminate sumptuous design features including a sparkling Austrian crystal chandelier, exquisite Italian and Dutch antiques and art, and gorgeous mid-century modern furniture that grace the spacious suite. The stunning and singular bathroom is a dramatic sanctuary of Mexican and Italian tile and is ADA accessible with its walk-in shower equipped with hand held spray showerhead and built-in bench, grab rails, and elevated toilet. Ideal for an Austin holiday, business, or a festival-goers’ home base.

The little things make a big difference

Loooooved our stay! Would love to stay again, the room so clean and tidy and smells so good!I was so excited to see cotton buds in the bathroom!And needed the aloe Vera lotion, it was there, and a band aid, it was all there. This stay felt so homely and it was in such close proximity to south congress but was so quiet of a night time. Thank you for having us we loved it!

Cute Venician style guest house

Super cutely furnished guest home was perfectly located for my needs on this trip. It’s super close to congress and tons of great restaurants, it was walking distance to most of what I wanted to check out. Barbra was quick to respond and answer any questions I had and seemed kind when I meet her briefly.

Lovely accommodations, well thought out arrangement for a small space. Had everything we needed and a few unexpected treats.

Great stay

This is probably the best VRBO we have stayed in and we are frequent users. Basically one room, but so much to offer. Hostess has almost anything you might need plus extras. She was readily available for any questions or concerns. The deck was great. Great location. Will book again if we return to Austin.

We have stayed at a lot of great VRBO’s but this one was exceptional. Roomy, comfortable, clean, great amenities, and lots of extras that made you feel like you were staying with friends or family. Owner was super nice and accomodating. Location was great. Literally steps from S Congress. Perfect!

Nice place

Prime location close to S. Congress Ave. Well appointed room with deluxe bathroom. Room has mini-fridge, microwave & hot plate. Complimentary bottles of red & white wine, sparkling water, couple beers, dishes of candy & mixed nuts were very nice. Plenty of towels, wash cloths, glassware, paper products & toiletries. Wonderful lodging experience.

Great neighborhood, super comfy room

We had a perfect stay. The room has warm and cosy atmosphere. It has its own entrance. It was large, super clean, with a cool bathroom, comfortable bed, coffee and other amenities… way beyond our needs. The location is indeed unbeatable. Very quiet but close to many restaurants, bars, and trendy shops. Hosts wrote down a useful list of recommended places nearby. The "Car pass" for the resident-only street parking was a real advantage, we could park anytime in front of the house. Austin is a great city, South congress is for sure one of its best part.

A Writer's Retreat

I can't say enough good things! First, the host graciously bailed me out of a mess because of a mistake I made on my reservation. Second, this was the most hospitality I've experienced with a VRBO rental. Everything I could possibly need was provided, and then there was extra, like Shiner beer and wine! Everything was presented in a lovely way, which made me feel special. While the room is attached to a house, it felt incredibly private. The neighbors were very quiet, too. I went to Austin to attend the Austin Film Festival, and it was not what I anticipated. By day 3, I opted out and spent the weekend secluded in this beautiful, peaceful VRBO. I'm a writer, so I worked on my 3rd novel (at the desk provided), watched tv, and relaxed on the deck. A block away is a Tiny Grocer with a wonderful deli and freshly baked goods. If ever I return to Austin, this is where I will stay!

We wanted to be in SoCo for our Austin trip and had a rental car with us so this place was perfect! Barbara and Robert were extremely responsive and welcoming hosts (emailing them and receiving replies within minutes when required!). As soon as you walk into their private suite, you know they are serious about making sure their guests feel comfortable from the get-go and have everything they need. It feels so refreshing to experience this level of service and have all the amenities available. From the ease of the parking pass to the well-equipped room (cleaning, cooling, food prep and clothes maintenance items), I would not even hesitate to pick this place again to stay in. Location-wise, you can't beat it. A 12ish minute drive from the airport and you're a quick 7 mins walk away from the SoCo food staples like Hopdoddy burgers, Torchy's Tacos (5 min walk), Homeslice pizza and other boot/hat/clothing stores. Thank you once again to Barbara and Robert for making our stay in Austin a comfortable and memorable one.

Simply wonderful!

I can’t say enough about this place. Great location, close to everything and very walkable. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated. So many thoughtful extras that I’ve never experienced in any other place I’ve stayed. Shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, shaving cream….all top of the line. The host, Barbara, registered our car so we could park on the street with no worries. Ample street parking and it’s only one block from Congress and it’s just the perfect location. That area rocks. So many great shops and restaurants. Loved it. Plus you have your own thermostat and ceiling fan. Barbara even left us a bottles of wine and a few beers in the refrigerator. Even though she respected our privacy I would’ve loved to meet her. My kind of lady. Thank you for a man unforgettable trip to Austin. Highly recommend.
