4.98 out of 5 average rating, 294 reviewsLake Travis Water Front Apartment with Boat Launch
My friend and I are notorious for traveling the country and staying in cute Airbnbs! It’s always a plus when we get to bring the pups. We loved this secluded spot with amazing views! Sadly, the lake was low, but it didn’t stop us from exploring with the kiddos. George and Kim were very accommodating and nice, always providing help when needed. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful stay with great views!

Rental unit in Downtown Austin
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 94 reviewsIncredible View Of Downtown | Walk To Rainey St.
The condo was very well maintained and as represented, balcony was fantastic - kitchen was good but remember it is a combo micro/convection bosche aside from cooktop so if you’re cooking this could be a challenge. The fixtures and decor are wonderful. The pool does fill soon after 10am opening and sadly I saw Nativo listed on resort pass dot com which is where non guests buy pool passes - there are 3 cabanas and 10 maybe less lounge chairs - if that gives you an idea!? Otherwise very good - amenities like Costco shampoo condition and olay body wash, a few snacks and k cups in kitchen. Keep in mind PARKING - it is $40 valet daily and otherwise it’s street app hourly parking or a side lot that’s $30 a day where homeless kind of post up. I feel like that’s standard for cities and I did do the $30 and my rental was unharmed. Coffee shop downstairs was fantastic and sold cocktails and to go high noons and beer. I would stay again without hesitation however.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Janelle's place! The location by the lake is unbeatable, offering stunning views and a serene atmosphere. The outdoor area is perfect for entertaining, with plenty of seating and a beautiful setup for evening gatherings. The highlight of our stay was definitely the lake dock and the lily pad. We spent hours out on the dock, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the opportunity to swim and relax on the lily pad. It was the perfect spot for both fun and relaxation. Janelle was a wonderful host, providing us with everything we needed and ensuring our stay was comfortable. We can't recommend this place enough and look forward to coming back in the future!

Had a great stay at jay’s for our friends wedding! He was very responsive and accommodating even at late hours, and the house and pool are beautiful with nice views! One thing to note is that it is a little outside of the city but with fun things to do (so we didnt mind) so keep that in mind when booking

We had an amazing weekend celebrating my fiancé’s 30th birthday with close friends. As Austin locals, this was the perfect staycation spot! The property offered plenty of space and activities for our group, and we always had a comfortable place to sit and hang out. The volleyball court, complete with lights for night games, was a big hit. Everything was super clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies. The grill was ready to go with a full propane tank, making it easy for us to cook up a great meal. We’ll definitely be back!

Condo in Riverside
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 93 reviewsDowntown Retreat w/ Pool Access | Mins to Zilker
We stayed for a week with our one year old and felt Erin’s place was the perfect spot. The location felt safe and private and we loved being on such a beautiful walkway. The bed is huge and super comfortable. The outdoor patio are was lovely in the evenings. Pool was clean and a lovely bonus. The local food trucks were a highlight of the area and we were there every morning for coffee and the best breakfast food. We loved being a short driving distance to town but being in a quiet area. We would stay here again and again!

Condo in Downtown Austin
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 100 reviewsSpacious Luxury Condo. Steps from Lake & Rainey st
Spacious 13th floor condo. Living space faces east, so, nice to see the sunrise. There is traffic rumble from I35, but not bothersome. Easy walking to the trails around the lake. Easy access to good restaurants on Rainey and in East Austin.
Condo in Downtown Austin
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 105 reviewsATX Luxe 27th-fl Condo & Rooftop Pool w/ Lake View
We were blown away by this apartment! We chose it because it was near to our relative's place, and had so much fun being near Rainey Street and being able to walk easily into Downtown. The views are fantastic - you can see Downtown, Lady Bird Lake, and the Bat Bridge from the balcony, and the vista from the living room is dramatic. The kitchen was well stocked if you prefer to eat at home (though there's so much good food in Austin, not sure anyone might choose that!). The gym was excellent - lots of good equipment and space. The pool was divine; was fantastic to soak up some sun at the end of October! Apartment was super clean and very comfortable. For those of you who like to go home with clean laundry, having a washer & dryer in the apartment was great. Anytime I reached out with a question, the response was prompt and helpful. Cannot say enough about this airbnb experience - it's the best one we've stayed in across three countries and two states!
