Eclectic 3 Bedroom | Block from South Congress!
Summary:
If you’re ready for a fun and funky Austin vacation you’ll remember for years to come, Life Off SoCo is it!
The Space:
This 3-bedroom, one-of-a-kind home just south of downtown proper truly encapsulates the Austin vibe of “keeping it weird!”. You’ll love spending time exploring every room, never quite knowing what you might find next. Located just one block from trendy South Congress, fantastic shopping and fabulous restaurants are practically right in your backyard. You won’t believe just how many food and drink options are within walking distance from your front door, accommodating whatever mood you find yourself in from dining in to snagging some take-out. Downtown Austin is just a 5-minute drive or ride away, making day trips to and from the home a cinch. For a more peaceful way to spend the day, Lady Bird Lake is also a short distance away, offering parks, a boardwalk, hiking and biking trails, and even kayaking and paddleboard rentals for an immersive day on the water. This location simply cannot be beat for anyone who wants to fully experience everything Austin has to offer!
While you’ll undoubtedly be busy spending your days out and about exploring the area, Life Off SoCo is interesting enough to keep you happy and at home as well. The theme is eclectic, and the home fully delivers with interesting art, décor, and furnishings in every room. The sunny living room with abundant natural lighting offers comfortable sofa seating and a smart TV, the perfect spot to unwind and stream your favorite show. You can step out onto the shaded back deck where you’ll find a plethora of outdoor furniture suitable for dining as well as rest and relaxation. Back inside, the spacious kitchen can accommodate all your mealtime needs, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, toaster, drip coffee maker, and a large island where you can serve up a spread of afternoon appetizers. Coffee lovers are also sure to love the pour-over coffee setup available in the kitchen. Barstool seating at the island for 2 is an ideal spot for your morning coffee or a quick breakfast or take more formal meals at the nearby dining room table with seating for 6. A fully fenced back yard offers even more outdoor spaces to spread out and stretch your legs, keeping the unconventional theme alive and well in the décor and seating options.
This home comfortably sleeps 7 guests between 3 private bedrooms and a twin size sofa sleeper in the loft.
Bedroom #1 includes a queen size bed.
Bedroom #2 includes a full size bed.
Bedroom #3 includes a queen size bed and ensuite bathroom with two individual vanities and a walk-in shower.
The home also includes 2 full guest bathrooms – the first on the main floor with a pedestal sink and shower/tub combo and the second on the second floor with a pedestal sink and walk-in shower.
THINGS TO NOTE:
- Washer and dryer in home.
- Driveway parking available for up to 2 vehicles. Additional metered parking on the street as needed.
- This home is pet friendly. A maximum of 5 dogs may be brought to this home. Please note that there is an additional Pet Fee of $75 per pet that is not included in your final booking cost. To pay your Pet Fee, please contact the Customer Care Team after booking.
The property is located in a vibrant neighborhood in south Austin, minutes from surrounding restaurants, cafes, and landmarks. The area is diverse and holds the authenticity that Austin is so proud of. You’ll be within easy reach of Austin’s popular attractions like the Texas State Capitol, Congress Bridge Bats, and the Greetings from Austin Mural. Zilker Park, which houses the famous Barton Springs Pool, offers access to paddle board and kayak rentals, and central Lady Bird Lake and nature trails boast a two-mile loop perfect for exercise or a relaxing stroll. Be sure to visit the live music bars and clubs on 6th street, a part of Downtown Austin that earned the city the nickname of “Live Music Capitol of the World.”
Other Things to Note:
This home will be stocked with a starter set of consumables such as soaps and paper products. Guests are advised to either bring or purchase additional after arrival.
