Fantastic property!

We loved the house, the location was great, and Christine is an excellent and responsive host. We so appreciated the labels and detailed instructions for how everything works, and the guide to restaurants and activities in Austin. We were sorry that the weather was cold, because the back yard and pool are amazing! The game barn is also a fun extra. We hope to stay there again soon!

Our family travels extensively. This is one of our favorite places we have stayed. The home is extremely clean and well taken care of. The host has thought of everything. There is so much to do at the house our family didn't want to leave. The pool is amazing. Check in process was easy and our host was very accommodating. Bed are comfortable. Plenty of room and seating inside and outside for everyone. Our family likes to cook instead of going out. Kitchen is well stocked. You will have everything you need. This home is in a nice neighborhood and close to HEB grocery store. Very nice location. Check out process is a breeze!!!

Excellent Choice

Christine was an excellent host. She was responsive and very generous. We arrived to some wonderful goodies. The home is exactly as described. We were on a girls trip with people from high school and the property was perfect for us. Christine’s friend Heather came to change the batteries in the front door lock. She overheard us saying that we needed ice. She went and got it for us. Incredible. I can’t say enough about their hospitality. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Oncale

Host profile image
My name is Christine and I am originally from Cajun country in South Louisiana so hospitality is in my DNA! Austin has been home since 2017 so I know the area and love the neighborhood. Please let me know how I can make your stay in Austin more enjoyable. I want guests to create lifetime memories with my well-cared for home.

Why they chose this property

The no-outlet neighborhood is well located to many popular destinations yet quiet at the same time. The large backyard has numerous ways to enjoy the space with games, the pool, outdoor dining, or the firepit. The neighborhood has numerous nearby restaurants and all the usual delivery options as well. Go out, dine in, or get delivery with ease.

What makes this property unique

At the Hideaway Vaca - South Austin things are setup for your ideal vacation. There are labels throughout the house on switches and cabinets making an unfamiliar space easy to access. The outdoor lighting systems are automated to transition on at dusk and then again off at the end of the evening. Large pool towels are waiting by the back door as you enter the outdoor oasis. The kitchen is ready to be enjoyed with a full set of cookware, utensils, and all basic spices. I have sweated the details so you can focus on enjoying your time away and creating enjoyable memories with family and friends.

The home has been recently renovated with lots of details like the master spa with heated floors, Bluetooth speaker, 2 person shower, and soaking tub. The large back deck was also recently updated as was the outdoor teak dining furniture. We’ve included detailed guides throughout to help you fully enjoy the space.

The home also includes a unique detached temperature-controlled Game Barn with a Nintendo Switch preloaded with games and accessories, a wall mounted smart TV, Apple TV, puzzles and games organized by age, and a dart board. This is setup for all ages to enjoy for hours of play time.

You will feel the difference in the home and I look forward to hosting your unforgettable vacation at the Hideaway Vaca - South Austin!
