Thanks for the great stay Cori and glad Tyou were able to make some great memories at Capitol Villa.
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!
A group of friends and I stayed here and the property was exactly as advertised, in a great neighborhood within walking distance of the city. Great stay, highly recommend!

Thans Adam - 5 stars all round! We look forward to having you back at Capitol Villa
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!

Thank you Kate - we appreciate you and hope you can stay with us for SXSWedu next year!
Great place to stay in Austin. Location is central to a lot of attractions. House is perfect for large groups. The people who own capital Villa are some of the best around and give great recommendations and are always looking to help. 10/10 house 10/10 service.
Our family enjoyed a pre-Christmas stay at this lovely home. Brendan was very responsive to our needs. Highly recommend it and would certainly book it again.

About the host
Hosted by Brendan Nugent
Hi, My name is Brendan. I'm lucky enough to own this beautiful Villa! The property is amazing and is the only three-story luxury property in East Austin. I invite you to come and stay and enjoy all that Austin has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Location and Space. We chose this lot because it was twice the size as a normal downtown city lot. It is close to it all with luxury and ambience that exceeds all expectations. Walk to UT baseball, Football, soccer and Basketball Games. Walking distance to many restaurants and bars. approx 1/2 a mile to famous 6th street. close to Zilker park for Austin City limits festival and close to Circuit of the Americas for all racing enthusiasts.
What makes this property unique
The architect designed this spacious home in 2007 with over 4,000 sq ft to give all the modern benefits but fit in with the bungalow feel of the neighborhood. With a state of the art brand new Hallman stove, 100% Brazilian hardwood floors, Minka Aire Fans, a Steam shower or a relaxing bath in our large tub with views of the Capitol you are sure to enjoy the modern convenience and luxury of our home. Step outside to our two putting greens, Washer pits, bocci ball, and a fire pit for those cool nights.
Additionally, as owner/operator of the property, l play very close attention to all the newest and best restaurants as well as city attractions that Austin has to offer. As owners of Capital Villa we pride ourselves on meticulous detail of the house and a premium guest experience. Please ask me about the additional services we can arrange for your stay, from Breakfast Tacos/Bloody Mary's delivered, stocking the fridge before arrival, as well as Golf Course recommendations and making tee times.
