6th street condo

This condo had several pluses: It was exceptionally clean....spotless, in fact. It is convenient....easy to get anywhere from here, except during rush hours. It has some neat places nearby....a great Wholefoods, an excellent southwest Grill, a cool bakery, etc. The owners put a lot of thought into what they would provide by way of amenities...especially appreciated were the little touches: extra kleenex, Shampoo and Conditioner, a box of Q-tips, a bottle of Chardonnay and a chocolate bar, quality flatware, quality towels, two sets of pillows (one thick, one thin). The views didn't blow us away, and the balcony off the bedroom is narrow, but on balance was a fine choice. We'd stay there again.

Review Submitted 05/08/13

Our stay was fabulous. Location of property very easy to find. The personal touch they add for your arrival is like going to a five star hotel but better. Extremely clean; a wonderful spacious two story that has balconies to set outside and enjoy the birds. Beds Very Comfortable no Back Aches. Walking distance to everything including whole foods if you want to get a few things daily; it's that close. This is a super cool place to stay all the amenities as if you were home. Life is good if you stay here "highly recommend" thank you so much for making our first trip so special! We will be back soon.

We recently had the pleasure of staying here for our last trip to Austin. The place is in a perfect location, close to everything you would want to do. The Condo itself is super nice and has all the amenities you will need. We had 4 in our group and the sleeper sofa is super nice and felt just like a bed. We will definitely stay here again.

Even Better Than We Expected

We stayed here for 5 days on our first trip to Austin. We were attending an event at the Palmer Center, which is a little over 1 mi. away. We chose not to rent a car, and while it would've been nice to see more of the city, we were able to comfortably walk to all of our destinations. SInce we cook a lot and don't eat out much, the little kitchen was perfectly adequate and being so close to Whole Foods made it all very convenient. The condo is very clean and modern. We had everything we needed and more. If we hadn't been so busy at the conference, I would've liked to hang out there more. There are two TVs with cable, but there's no TV guide channel - and let's face it there's not much good stuff on TV anyway- so we just watched stuff on our computer. The wifi worked without incident. For those into shopping, there's the following also within walking distance (1-2 blocks): REI, Book People, Anthropologie, Title 9, Free People, lots of interior design showrooms including West Elm and Jonathan Adler. Definitely would stay here again.

Review Submitted 03/29/13

It was the first time in Austin and we definitely found the right place to stay. Close to the action but far enough away to be able to sleep in peace and quiet. We walked to the bars, restaurants,stores and food trucks, there even was a grocery store close. Our girls slept in the pullout which is no ordinary one, king size and very comfortable. Upstairs bath was all our favorite,plush towels and lots of room, plus a deck. We opened the door and let the breeze come thou,that was nice because back home it was in the 30's. Hope we can visit again, Austin thank you for the great time ! Fort Wayne,Indiana

The townhouse was uber-clean, safe and as represented...in fact - it was better than represented. The location was perfect - close enough to the "party" without being in the middle of it. If you're a fan of Whole Foods - then, you'll be in foodie heaven. The flagship store is a little more than two blocks away. Austin - good music, good food, clean/safe townhouse rental - what else can you ask for? Brandy was/is always responsive and kind. I will definitely be back.

SXSW 2013 Austin Trip

Guest Dee
Date of stay 03/13/13
Review Submitted 03/19/13

The condo was absolutely perfect in it's location to all SXSW events. The accomodations were excellent - nicely decorated with bedding, bathrooms (extra towels and toiletries), and the kitchen fully equipped for all of our needs. The living room had plenty of seating and the wifi was nice to have (without extra charge). Restaurants were within steps of the condo (loved Z Tejas) and it was nice to have a parking place where we could come and go without extra charge. We've stayed at local hotels in the past and were charged for all of these 'added amenities'. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone who is going to visit Austin for both business and pleasure. Thanks so much!

We rented this adorable apartment while we stayed in Austin for the SXSWi festival. We arrived to an amazingly clean and cute space with a very convenient parking spot. It's super close to a lot of great restaurants and shopping. The owner was very helpful and stocked it with many toiletries, clean towels and we personally loved the chocolate on the pillows. :) We highly recommend this apartment and hope it will be available for years to come...

Great Getaway

Guest Linda s.

Review Submitted 03/13/13

This property is exactly as the photos portray and as the description states. A very clean, comfortable and up-to-date place to stay. The main shower is a treat itself. Lush bed and bath linens, kitchen stocked with spices, nice table wear. You can simultaneously feel you are "away from it all" while you are just steps away from all the action of the city. The Whole Foods flagship store is a 3 minute walk away for the newspaper, coffee, pastries, excellently prepared meals for any time of the day. We stayed a month and came up with a reason to visit every day. Our favorite nearby restaurants - Clark's, Z tejas, 24 Diner, Bacon, Counter Cafe and Win Flo and Josie's (all walkable); Josephine House (longish walk/short drive; Elizabeth Street Cafe, Uchi's, Uchico, Lamberts, la Condessa, Stubbs. Austin is blessed with many great restaurants and the owners will give you good advice. We contracted with Robert "Bassman" Brown for 3 different fishing trips (recommend). Day trips to Gruen and Fredericksburg are worth the effort. Very nicely refurbished LBJ Library should not be missed. You can fish or walk the trail of LBJ lake and Shoal Creek parkway on either side of you. Great galleries and shopping within walking distance. A funky antique store (Fortney) doors down - ask for James. Purchased a fabulous cowhide there. Wish I was still there! This condo is definitely the place to be.

Review Submitted 12/17/12

Staying in this place renewed our faith in VRBO, It was everything promised in the description, and then some. Although it was all pretty good, two things about his place stand out: the upstairs shower and the location. The upstairs shower was beautifully done, and plenty big enough for two. The location couldn't have been much better: just far enough away from the "action" to feel peace, but plenty close enough to easily walk. Lastly, I defy anyone to find bad food in this neighborhood

Review Submitted 11/19/12

I was on an official trip to Austin. Chose this location because it was just a block away from my work. This was not only close to my work, it was right on the 6th street where most actions happen in downtown. All my questions were promptly answered. There were no surprises. Loved the decor, turned out to be cheaper than a Hotel during the busy F1 week.

We had a great time during our stay. The condo is in an excellent location, walkable to great restaurants, the lake trail, and entertainment. It's close to the action, yet peaceful and quiet. Comfortable bed, thick towels, fully equipped kitchen. Can't ask for more. Brandy has been more than wonderful, and was flexible and willing to accommodate our additional requests. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit, and will be telling our friends all about the condo as well.

Why would you want to stay in a hotel when you can stay here...? From the moment you walk in, you know you've are going to have the most comfortable stay. It's full of light, condo is clean and everything is updated. The kitchen has everything you could need. We went to the grocery store and picked up a few things...cooked breakfast every morning. Living room and bedroom have ceiling fans and DVD players as well. You get your own private covered parking space. This is a very quiet complex. We never heard any of the other tenants, never dealt with noise. Being as close to 6th Street you would think you would hear street noise...you do not. We slept so good...big king size bed and they even provide a sound machine. Which was nice, I sleep with one every night and had forgotten mine at home. The upstairs shower is HUGE!!!! You will want to stay here again for the shower alone. Right next door is a TexMex restaurant called Z Tejas. AMAZING FOOD!!!! The best margarita's as well...outdoor seating and just a really cool place to be. I cant say enough good things about this condo...!!! You can not beat the location...I will stay here everytime I'm in Austin. Brandy is so easy to communicate with. She's very prompt on emailing you back and will provide you with everything you need. Two thumbs up from me!!!!

My Husband and I just got back from a great labor day week-end in Austin. This was both our first times to this amazing city. The condo couldn't be better located, walking distance or a 5 min drive from everything you could ever want to do. Close to all the bars on 6th street but far enough to be quiet. At the end of our days we couldn't wait to stop in a whole foods, grab a bottle of wine and sit on the deck. Everything you need is in the condo and more, plus the owners where quick to respond to any questions we had. We will definately be back and stay at this condo. There is nothing else you need !

This condo is wonderful: updated, spacious, comfortable and convenient. It was a pleasure for our long weekend in Austin. You can walk to all of the great things at West 6th Street, and parking is so convenient, it's easy to get everywhere else in town as well. The owners are incredibly gracious and attentive hosts, and no detail is overlooked. Plus, the master shower is worth the rental alone. We're so lucky to have found this gem - it made our weekend and we'll definitely be back.

Not only is the condo location ideal, but Trey and Brandy were more than welcoming. We felt truly special as we arrived to a personal note, bottle of wine and chocolates.

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in Trey and Brandy's condo on 6th Street. The description and photos are very accurate. The condo is beautifully decorated, charming and comfortable. It is ideal for two people. The upstairs shower is wonderful and the linens and towels are very nice. The condo is in a great location to explore downtown Austin. You are within walking distance of many restaurants, music venues, Whole Foods, art galleries, etc. We would definitely recommend the condo to others and will stay here again on our next visit to Austin!

Loved this condo, located in a perfect spot for siteseeing, shopping, eating & jogging the beautiful Lady Bird Lake and of course being entertained. Everything was as advertised at condo plus much more. Most comfortable sleeping we've had. The shower was to die for. We live in Austin and just wanted a long weekend to see a show at the new ACL theatre and spend time at all the great new restaurants and sites along W. 2nd. We had a teriffic Happy Hour at La Condessa before our show. Could have taken the pedicab, but decided to walk off our dinner instead. Stopped by J Blacks on our way home for a nitecap. Jogged Lady Bird Lake, wanted to do boats but didn't have time. We'll have to do a mini vacation at this fabulous 6th Street Retreat again in 2012 so we can do the things we didn't have time to do last time.

My associate and I were in town for Keller Williams Realty Mega Camp - a huge conference with over 10,000 attendees. We booked late and hotels were sold out. Turned out to be a fortunous situation as we were able to book this condo instead. Gorgeous, pictures are nice but don't do it justice. I took the upstairs loft bedroom and gorgeous marble bath, my friend slept on the sofa-bed downstairs - which was unlike any sofa-bed I have ever seen. Fabulous mattress, high quality bedding, it even smelled heavenly. The condo was immaculate, tastefully decorated and absolutely luxurious. Thanks to the hosts for making us feel so welcome. Although it was a bit far from the convention center, we enjoyed getting back there at night on one of the bicycle taxis. Too much fun! Loved it, highly recommended!

My husband and I took our 8 and 9 year old grandsons to Austin for the first time and we stayed here the first 3 nights of our vacation. When we walked in, my boys ran around the house excitedly taking pictures with their cameras for their mother in NY to see. We loved it here. The unit is a duplex, which was beautifully furnished and decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped with every convenience except for a toaster...minor detail. Very comfortable and clean with huge TV's in the living room and Bedroom. My boys slept on the very generous and comfortable sofa bed. They absolutely loved it and they loved the fact that they had their own bathroom. There were enough towels to last all 4 of us 3 days worth without washing one towel. The beds had extra linens and pillows, and there was ample room for all of our things. This unit was in a great location, near Z-Tejas and Amy's ice cream. Whole foods is within walking distance and so is everything else. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will come back time after time. Do not pass this place up.

Wow is all I can say!!!!! This was my first experience ever renting and I don't think I will ever stay in a hotel again. Brandy and Trey were wonderful...from the first inquiry I made till when we checked out. The pictures and description are dead on, the condo is gorgeous!!!! The location is awesome....we were in town to help my daughter settle into an apt as she is starting grad school at UT. The condo was an easy drive to UT and an easier walk to the bars! Our 20 yr. old son was also with us and although he stayed most nights at his sister's...he did stay with us a few nights. The king size pull out sofa and extra bathroom was perfect. The place was immaculate!!!!! The master bath is to die for and the king sized bed is very comfortable.The kitchen is well equipped with all the pots and pans etc. and although we didn't cook any meals it was so nice to have spices and condiments, and even snacks available. I cannot think of anything that was missing. I would absolutely stay here again!!! Don't think twice...book it, you won't be disappointed! Thanks Trey and Brandy and I am sure you will here from us again! Paula, Michael & Jason LaPenta Rehoboth Beach, DE

We stayed here in early June 2011 and were thrilled with our choice. The location allowed us to walk to every meal (if desired) as well as Whole Foods, Book People, Waterloo, various bars and other shopping destinations. Traffic was never a deterrent and we had no problem moving around the city. The condo itself is gorgeous. Trey and Brandy keep it well decorated, appointed and furnished. We've rented through Home Away and VRBO numerous times in the past 5 years. This condo is top 5 easily and a contender for number 1!

Owner response: Thanks for the kind words. We enjoyed having you and hope your daughter had a great time at her UT sports camp. Running the condo is a passion of mine, that I really enjoy. I want all our guests to feel they are getting "value" for their buck. It's far from the least expensive in town, but I want it to provide the most "value." We hope you feel special here. We look forward to your return.

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo for UT graduation. It is a very short walk to Whole Foods, Anthropologie, Book People (a great independent book store), and, most important, Amy's Ice Cream. We walked to the river and the South Congress area, and it is an easy drive to UT, innumerable restaurants (don't miss La Condesa -- fantastic mole and G'Raj Mahal -- an outdoor trailer paper plates BYOB amazing food) , the Alamo movie theater (enjoy beer and food with first run movies), the Driscoll Hotel bar, and swimming and people watching at Barton Springs. The condo has two umbrella chairs, a small cooler and a blanket which are great for the park. My daughter found a good yoga studio, Black Swan, nearby. The condo is beautifully decorated and absolutely spotless. The parking spot is a valuable bonus. I had back surgery this year and found the bed very comfortable. I would absolutely stay here again.

This was our first visit to Austin and it was great! The condo is fabulous and the owners were professional in every sense of the word. All communications were timely and informative. In addition to the condo's central location, it was very well appointed and very clean. They even provided a coffee grinder to take advantage of the great selection of fresh roasted beans down the street at the Whole Foods. They also have a cooler available which we took advantage of when we went out to the Salt Lick (awesome ribs! and BYOB). It was in the 90's during our visit and the ceiling fans and A/C kept the unit very comfortable. All in all, a great trip and we definitely recommend this condo without any hesitations.

This is a wonderful place to stay in Austin. It is close to all the downtown sites and entertainment, within walking distance of restaurants, Whole Foods, shopping, and the river. You can see the colorfully lit Austin skyline from the balcony. The condo is well furnished and the kitchen has everything you need and more. The place really feels like home and Brandy and Trey were great to work with. When I asked that there be ice in the freezer, there was enough for a party! The condo looks just like the pictures, only better. I would definitely stay here again.

Brandy and Trey, Thank you for a wonderful place to spend a weekend in Austin. This was our first VRBO rental, as well as our first trip to Austin. Choosing to stay at your condo was a very big part of making both these "firsts" turn out so well. One of the things that I was impressed with immediately was how clean the condo is, as well as being decorated tastefully and smelling great as well! Another thing we enjoyed was the location. Being able to walk to so many things was wonderful. And Brandy, you were right. Ztejas rocks! great food! And! A concern I had ended up not being an issue at all. I was concerned about "night noise", either downtown noise, or party noise, whatever, because I'm a light sleeper. Noise was not a problem! I slept great. The owners were very helpful not only in answering questions but in providing some restaurant suggestions as well. I would highly recommend staying in this delightful downtown west 6th condo. We sure plan to again!

We stayed at the condo over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was wonderful. It is perfectly located on 6th street... we were even able to get a first hand view of the turkey trot on Thanksgiving morning. There were wonderful restaurants, bars, shopping and more all within walking distance. There is a Whole Foods right down from the condo so if you plan to use the kitchen (which is fully equipped) you'll have no problems at all. The condo has been fully remodeled and looks just as pictured. It has all the amenities you would expect to have and more (toiletries, coffee/cream/sugar, bottle of wine and chocolate). In addition, it was very clean... which is important to me. The condo is truly in the heart of the city so you will have no trouble finding something fun to do or just relaxing in an amazing space.

4/5 Stars The condo is neat and accommodating, with a great location about 1 mile from the heart down town with the best known live music, restaurants, and sights to see in Austin as well as 1 mile in the other direction from several great lakes and parks. Renters should know that there is a 15% tax on the condo which was not listed at the time of the review. Be sure to grab a copy of the bus schedule for the evenings and visit all the food places within walking distance in the mean time. It is a good place to stay to get a good feel for what the city has to offer. If the price was a bit lower, it would have been 5 stars.

Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Owner response: Tim, We are glad you really enjoyed your stay. We were happy to provide you with picnic supplies and help you plan your picnic for Wendy at the Zilker Park Botanical Gardens. When Wendy told me you enjoyed zombie movies, I knew that you would like the unusual experience of going to the Alamo Draft House Theater. We are glad y’all found time to do that. Hopefully next time you come, Antone’s will have great line up for y’all to walk down and see. Were glad y’all had a great flight back. See y’all again soon, Trey and Brandy

I spent the weekend with my childhood BFF and her college roomie BFF to celebrate a 40th birthday! We loved the condo. It was within walking distance of anything we wanted to do. I even walked down to Sweetish Hill Bakery for morning coffee (although coffee pot provided at condo). We walked down 6th street for dinner and drinks. Whole Foods is even within walking distance. The sofa was very comfortable as was the upstairs bed. We loved that we had a full kitchen and more than enough room to get dressed. This condo could easily accommodate two couples or a family of four. Once I’m done with this review, I plan on checking availability for an upcoming weekend to see a longtime friend and celebrate her college graduation.

Owner response: Thanks for the kind words, sounds like ya'll enjoyed the condo as much as we do. We look forward to your next stay with us. Thanks, Trey and Brandy

This was a great fit for a girls weekend in Austin where we could sit around in talk but also did some shopping, eating and exploring the area for my out of town guests. We were very comfortable and loved that we really could walk to everything we needed. Everyone needs a excellent bakery close by when they are on vacation! We would definitely stay here again.

Owner response: Angie, We are glad y'all enjoyed your stay. We love Swedish Hill as well. But, next time you come you will have to walk down to Walton's Fancy and Staple, Sandra Bullock's bakery, for some Parisian macaroons. There are great the morning after a fun night on the town. We look really forward to seeing y'all again next year. Take care, Trey and Brandy

Its a great feeling to arrive at a place and be delighted with what is presented to you. Mi wife and kids were so happy; we loved the place since the first second and through all our stay. The Condo was immaculate, equipped with everything we needed and more. The room was perfect, The bed and sofa were very comfortable. The bathroom is so beautiful . The location is the best you can get in Austin, Nice stores all around, a Whole Foods a block away ! We had a great time in Austin, and this place make our stay much more enjoyable !.
