About this property

Luxury Austin Retreat for Families & Groups, Pool + Spa, Sleeps 15

Welcome to Capitol Villa, one of Austin’s premier luxury vacation homes, featured on Visit Austin and designed for unforgettable group stays.

This 4,000 sq ft private estate combines the best of both worlds:
a quiet neighborhood setting with unbeatable access to downtown.

Walk to Austin favorites like Franklin BBQ, food trucks, coffee shops, UT Campus, and Moody Center — with 6th Street only minutes away.


Backyard Built for Entertaining

Guests consistently say the outdoor space is the highlight of their stay:
Brand-new heated pool & hot tub (safety net available upon request)
Fire pit lounge for evening gatherings

Bocce court + mini golf putting green
Ping pong, cornhole, and outdoor games
Multiple patios and balconies with downtown skyline views

Whether you’re hosting a reunion, relaxing after a UT game, or enjoying a weekend with friends, Capitol Villa feels like your own private resort.


Luxury Interiors + Space for Everyone

Inside, the home was designed for large groups without feeling crowded:
Three separate living and lounging areas
Gourmet chef’s kitchen with premium appliances
(Thor, Meile and Bosch finishes)
Whole-home SONOS sound system
Designer bathrooms and high-end details throughout
Hotel-quality linens, towels, and luxury bath products
Spacious master suite with an oversized getting-ready bathroom

Perfect for family gatherings, corporate off-sites, milestone birthdays, and wedding parties.


Sleeping Arrangements (Transparent & Comfortable)

Capitol Villa sleeps up to 15 guests across multiple bedrooms and sleeping spaces, including:

A private backyard casita suite (great for extra privacy)
A cozy top-floor room with skyline views
Spacious bedrooms throughout the main house

For maximum comfort, many adult groups find 8–12 guests ideal, while families often enjoy the full 15-person capacity. We’re always happy to help you plan the best room setup before booking.

The house is great -- perfect layout and lots of space for everyone and excellent location. And Brendan was always available for questions with immediately kind and helpful replies and solutions. Very impressive!! The pool was less inviting than pictured as it had a cleaning device floating in it and the hot tub was only hot if we planned several hours in advance. But overall, I highly recommend the house and yard and lovely central neighborhood. This was a perfect place to host our family for a wedding weekend!

Comfortable Convenience in Austin

If you have a larger group looking to stay in Austin, I couldn't recommend this house more! The location is exceptional between easy highway access, easy downtown travel and walkability. The house itself is kept ideally, and all rooms & common spaces were comfortable and well suited for our group of 13. Thank you to Brendan & Aurora for a great host for our celebration!

Great place, great location!

We had a wonderful stay. Brendan and Aurora were fantastic hosts and available for anything we needed. We attended that SXSW EDU conference so it was an easy Uber to the convention center, but a nice ways a way from the bustle of downtown. Lots of great food and coffee walkable from the house. Highly recommend!
