Description Description
Get ready to experience the ultimate Texas escape in this 4-bedroom vacation home that comfortably sleeps 11 lucky guests. Located right here in Holly, which has been hailed as Austin's absolute coolest neighborhood. Tucked away in central east Austin, Holly sits in a perfect pocket between teeming East 7th Street to the north, residential Govalle to the east, and serene Lady Bird Lake to the south. To the west, the bright lights of downtown (particularly ‘Dirty Sixth’ and Rainey streets) are an easy walk or bike ride away.

When you're not out exploring the streets of Holly, you'll find your own little haven right here. The kitchen, with its generous windows, offers a perfect view of the backyard, which is fully fenced in. And with all that countertop space, new stainless steel appliances and open concept design, you'll be cooking up fantastic meals in no time! Speaking of cooking, you can add BBQ to the menu thanks to your outdoor grill! Enjoy it at any of the dining areas you choose - the large capacity dining table, the backyard picnic zone, or under the covered patio area!

And when it's time to unwind, challenge your crew to a fierce foosball match, catch up on your favourite shows around the 45" Smart TV (with high-speed internet, of course), or grab a blanket and cuddle up to watch a film from the movie projector (inquire for details)! We've also got an outdoor firepit to cozy up around when the sun goes down - did somebody say s'mores?!

And if you absolutely must get some work done, there's a dedicated work space where you can check in with the office. Plus, the house is connected to high speed wireless internet, so all your selfies can be posted in real time.

The ground level King sized bedroom has a smart TV and daybed. There's a beautiful bathroom with slate tiles in the large standing shower, which has a rainforest shower head. The upstairs loft has a queen bedroom with wall mounted shelving and a swing chair. You'll also find a little tucked away nook here, with a single bed and a daybed and skylight windows.

Holly's claim to fame is that it's the easternmost end to Austin's famed Sixth Street. But this is far from being all that Holly has to offer. Some amazing established family-owned restaurants are neighborhood fixtures along with a park, lake, beach, and nature trail. This is definitely the place to stay if you enjoy the outdoors. While Holly possesses numerous attractive qualities, what really sets it apart from other Austin neighborhoods is the strength of its culinary scene. Holly’s restaurant scene constantly tops “best of” lists and makes the neighborhood well-worth a visit, even for non-residents.

La Barbecue is one of the finest BBQ joints in Texas (we're serious). A relative newcomer to Austin’s meat-smoking scene, La Barbecue’s melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork with chipotle 'slaw has people driving more than 50 miles for lunch reservations. A growing army of celebrity fans include Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Beyonce.

Vacation goals? Check! Book now and make them a reality.

Property was modern yet homely. Lively décor with a fresh remodeling of fixtures made it feel like a truly well-made home. With some couples doubling up, we comfortably fit our group of 11. Keypad access made it so that we could come and go as we please whether as a whole group or separated. Parking was ample and amenable. The property was spacious and we enjoyed lounging around and socializing. Location is in a lovely family friendly neighborhood and very close to some fabulous restaurants on East Chavez. If we needed to venture further, Ubers were cheap and nearby. As a former Austinite myself, I gladly lend it my seal of approval.

Our stay at this Airbnb was amazing! The house has been beautifully updated with modern features that made us feel like we were living in a home straight out of Architectural Digest! It was incredibly spacious, providing more than enough room for everyone in our group to spread out comfortably. Additionally, the location was convenient for our needs - very close to the lake, South Congress, and Barton Springs where we spent most of our time. The host was also very communicative and helpful- There was an issue with the blinds but Upstay was quick to reply and sent someone to fix it. Overall, our experience at this Airbnb exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a place that combines modern style with ample space and comfort, this is the perfect choice. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at this property. The upstairs bedroom and loft were definitely much hotter than the rest of the house, but that’s not surprising during a Texas summer and there was a standing fan up there, which helped. The rest of the house was great—beautiful bathrooms, spacious living room and kitchen, and nice screened-in porch. We had some issues with the lock code at check-in but Upstay was able to fix the issue remotely. The location is a short walk to several great restaurants but in a pleasantly quiet neighborhood with plenty of street parking.

Thank you for your detailed review, Lia! We're delighted to hear you had a great stay and appreciated the beautiful bathrooms, spacious living areas, and the nice screened-in porch. We apologize for any discomfort with the upstairs temperature during the Texas summer, but we're glad the standing fan helped. We're also pleased that our team quickly resolved the check-in issue. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the convenient location and quiet neighborhood. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

We had an amazing stay! We were here a whole month and Upstay was attentive whenever there was any issue. The home is so cute and there are lots of rooms for people to spread out and have their own space. We felt safe while staying in this area and enjoyed walking to local restaurants and coffee shops. We would 100% stay here again and were sad to leave!
