BOULDIN CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD
People describes Bouldin Creek: "Bouldin Creek’s bright storefronts and eccentric art galleries garner this funky neighborhood its must-see status. Located directly across Lady Bird Lake from Downtown, Bouldin Creek blends central city convenience with edgy entertainment. This eclectic neighborhood’s tattoo parlors, second hand shops, and traveling food trucks only add to its cool-as-a-cucumber reputation."

Another Great Memory
I took my daughter on a weekend trip to Austin and stayed in the cutest VRBO yet. Awesome location, perfect amenities and amazing setup. The communication with the owner could not have been more perfect. My daughter left several items there by mistakes and Darlene was MORE than helpful with arranging and organize the items to get back home to us. Highly recommended!!!

Damage deposit issue
Everything about the cottage was perfect, but know this rental requires insurance or a refundable damage deposit. This information is not mentioned until you are in the process of securing the date; it should be openly listed as part of fair and transparent pricing practices. I have rented beach houses for 15 people that did not require such a steep damage deposit. I paid the damage deposit and expected to be refunded per VRBO's policy. Of course I did not damage the cottage; I have video and photos to prove it, bc of the strangeness of this damage deposit policy. The deposit (more than twice the cost of the rental) was not refunded after two weeks. In a world where my paycheck comes in at the same hour every time, this is inexcusable.
