West Lake Hills townhome description

This newly remodeled townhouse boasts all the luxury you’d expect from a West Lake mansion, but in a smaller package. It’s perfectly sized for one to two couples, and downtown Austin is only ten minutes away.

The cozy, two-story townhouse has two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a convertible sofa. The house was recently remodeled to include high-end appliances, new kitchen and bath fixtures, minimalist decor, and a high-efficiency washer and dryer. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare gourmet meals, and the back patio features a gas grill. It’s the perfect place to have dinner while enjoying the temperate Austin climate. The newly xeriscaped yard perfectly compliments the home’s modern decor and natural surroundings.

In addition to all this, we’ve outfitted the townhouse with organic sheets and original artwork. All the mattresses are memory foam to ensure you wake up rested each morning. The rental also includes high-speed Internet with Wi-Fi, all the movie channels, and a 47-inch flat-screen TV.??The townhouse is minutes away from world-class restaurants, avant-garde theaters, trendy cafes, and high-end shopping. Most of Austin’s festivals, including SXSW, F1, and ACL, are fifteen minutes away. If you want to stock up on groceries, there are several options in the neighborhood. An added bonus: Lake Austin is only three minutes away and offers many boating options to choose from!

It’s hard to find a rental of this size in West Lake. Contact us today to reserve your date!

Other Activities

Bee Cave Road, the main artery through the neighborhood, is lined with shopping centers. Though some are large and corporate, with chain stores and an HEB, most exemplify the spirit of the neighborhood: cleverly designed and working around the city's strict sign ordinances. The best local spots here have the low-key vibe you would expect from Austin. Check out the neighborhood favorite restaurant Las Palomas for excellent interior Mexican, or The Grove wine bar and restaurant for an upscale romantic evening. Other hot dining spots include Bistro 88, with its contemporary and eclectic pan-Asian menu, and Wildwood Art Cafe, which features Oaxacan art as well as a gluten-free menu. Westlake is also a great place to head outdoors, whether it's driving down to nearby Zilker Park to spend a day at the Botanical Gardens, to ride the train or to Barton Springs, where the chilly natural spring fed pool is an Austin favorite. Or if that water is too cold head over to Lake Austin to Blue Sky Boat Rentals and go boating for the day. You can easily also head over the western edge at Capital of Texas Highway to check out the Wild Basin Nature Preserve. This beautiful 277 acre preserve is absolutely pristine, and features countless nature trails as well as self-guided tours daily. This neighborhood is also home to one of Austin's most poplar outdoor areas, the Barton Creek Greenbelt, which is located on Capital of Texas Hwy across from Barton Creek Mall. Take the afternoon to just kick back and enjoy the sun with a few friends - you won't regret it. Though you may not think of a hardware store as an attraction, two of Austin's best are located on Bee Cave Road in Westlake: Cornerstone and Breed & Co. You'll find far more than basic tools here, with cooking supplies, china, home decor, art, and gifts; Breed & Co. in particular is a great place to go for gift ideas around the holidays. ...more less

Perfect family space for visit to Austin

After traveling for 24 hours from overseas, we were thrilled with our decision to rent this property for the weekend. From the keyless entry to the awaiting groceries to the space to spread out, this was the ideal spot to get over our jet lag and serve as our home base. Perfectly located in Westlake Hills, the townhouse offered easy access to all the things we wanted to do in Austin during our visit. I highly recommend and will stay there on any future visit.

Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, pet owners.

I loved living at this house from January 2013 through this past summer. It is super-clean, uncluttered and nicely decorated. The owners, Brandon and Tam, are conveniently located next door and are extremely responsive to renter needs. I can't say enough about the location. In Westlake, You are literally 10-20 minutes from downtown (depending on traffic) and other neighborhoods that offer world class restaurants and cultural venues, yet you feel like you are a little bit in the wilderness. The long and winding road is a non-thru street so traffic is minimal. I walked right out the door and hiked the hilly, sparsely populated neighborhood. Love love loved the location! Highly recommend staying here if you are visiting and want to be close downtown but in a quieter neighborhood.

Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner response: Thank you, Suzy. You certainly hit the very same notes that we love about our home. We enjoyed having your lovely family stay with us. Please consider us again should you want to come back and visit Austin.

I'm one of those finicky kind of travellers that expects the best of everything. To me, roughing it is 3 stars. I'm a platinum on three different airlines & four major hotel chains. When I check in, my status means I almost always upgraded. So its a big leap for me to forego my benefits at the big hotels and look at renting a townhome. Tam's place exceeded my expectations. As soon as I opened the door, I felt like I had been upgraded! The place was immaculate, modern, spacious, fully equipped, comfortable, and very inviting. Everything looks new (probably because it is), and everything works. Since our hosts knew that I was in town for the Formula 1, they had thoughtfully prepared a basket of amenities, including helpful information about the area and even earplugs for the track! They have a huge book on all the best restaurants, bars and shopping, as recommended by the locals -- not the visitors bureau. When I arrived, the host came over to welcome us and answer any questions about the property or the area. I immediately felt their genuine warmth. My only criticism was that the place was initially a bit hard to find -- the satnav thinks the place is 200 metres away from its actual location -- but its not far away from the heart of the city. The neighbourhood feels like one I wish I could afford to live in back home. Very safe, very secluded, very affluent. If you're in town for one of the big events where the hotels are charging extraordinary prices for rather ordinary accommodation, I highly recommend you check this place out. Its great value and you'll feel liked you've been upgraded!

Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway.

Owner response: I just have to say that Mike and his father were ideal guests. If other vacation rental owners have a chance to allow Mike or his father to stay in their homes, they would be so lucky. Both are very courteous people. Thank you, Mike.

Brand new everything. We stayed in the house for 2 months and it was a great experience. Great back yard and in the middle of Westlake near downtown. Owners are very responsive to anything you need. I would definitely stay here again.

Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children.

Owner response: Thank you, David. We love to host and share our experiences of Austin to our guests, anything to show how great visiting or living in Austin can be. We are very proud of our humble home and work very hard to keep it up. We are hoping to add an herb garden in the Spring for those who love to cook with fresh herbs. I've been doing so much reading on dirt, and seeds, and fertilizers. I'm hoping to be a garden guru next year. We would love to have you or any of your family back with us again in the future. Hopefully you will be able to use our new garden then.

Owner info

Year Purchased: 2006

About the owner: Both of us went to The University of Texas at Austin. Brandon graduated with a communications degree and I with a business degree. We currently live in the home next to the rental, so if you need anything you'll easily be able to find us.

Why the Owner Chose West Lake Hills:
As a family, we love to travel. And from these travels, we have come to realize as much as we enjoy exploring other cities, there are people who want to come to Austin for the same reasons. Traveling with children brings a realization that furniture should be ready to be used. We understand what most travelers need to feel comfortable since we have traveled extensively around the world to Asia, Europe, South and Central America. Please come and share your vacation time in our home. We will do our best to make you feel comfortable.

The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
Location, location, location. This area is truly ideal for living close to downtown but not in downtown. It's a perfect blend of luxury, and convenience. Access to all the tourist attractions, festivals, live music venues, famous restaurants, great bars, and large selections of art galleries is just minutes away.
