Welcome to your luxurious Austin landing pad. The SoCo Penthouse is located right off South Congress, a stone's throw from Austin's best shopping and dining. Sleep on the third floor in a comfy king bed with your own large deck overlooking pecan trees, Austin sunsets, and South Congress vibes.
While we are close to all the action, once you walk through the gate into the private front yard, you are in your own little oasis. You likely won't need a car, but if you have one, we offer an off-street parking spot behind our remote controlled gate (it's perfect for "normal" sized cars, but we can't accommodate camper vans or long trucks).
As we are next to a lively area, including a boutique, 4 star hotel, you may catch some of the buzz from South Congress, especially on weekends. That said, we're also nestled next to a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, and we’re committed to being great neighbors—so no parties, please. Think relaxed evenings with a glass of wine, not rowdy nights out.
You should also know our home has a modern style with tall ceilings and lots of light-filled rooms with high-up windows. Some of the windows don't require or accommodate coverings. While there is ample privacy, you will not have the ability to "black out" rooms. We do have fresh eye masks and earplugs for your use, but if you need full control of the light, this will not be the best place for you.
Finally, there are stairs! We technically have 3 stories, so you will need to carry your luggage (and yourself) up the stairs. We think it's worth it to enjoy the "treehouse" vibe, but we completely understand that doesn't work for everyone.
Once you arrive, you’ll find there’s no shortage of amazing things to do nearby—we’re happy to tailor recommendations based on your interests. Whether it’s food, music, shopping, or nature, Austin’s got something special for you, and we’d love to help you experience it like a local.

This was the most perfect place and location right off of south congress! We loved our stay - it was spotless, well located and with thoughtful touches. Would absolutely stay here again.
Perfect location to shops and restaurant on S. Congress for a girlfriend getaway. Next door to hotel for easy access to coffee, food, and drinks. Host was responsive and just the right level of communication. Property was clean and true to listing and photos. I highly recommend!
Very clean and comfortable. Having 2 bedrooms and bathrooms was great for the 3 of us. Half a block from South Congress is a great location. I’d stay there again.
If I could give 6 stars I would! Fantastic property and location. Exceeded expectations. Loved the interior design as well as functionality, equipped with everything you may need for a great stay. Communication with host was excellent. Highly recommend!
A wonderful space in a vibrant area of Austin, lots of shops & restaurants along South Congress, combined with around a mile walk into Downtown. Meredith is a very attentive & responsive host, so whether one is new to Austin or a return traveller, this is a reliable penthouse flat!
Such a great property and the owner was amazing! Location is perfect with great access to everything in walking distance and in a safe quiet neighborhood.
Perfect location for SoCo restaurants and shopping. They have a dedicated parking space which life just that much easier. Very friendly and communicative owners.
Great condo. Great location. We felt like we were at a 5-star resort. There are some stairs, so if you have mobility issues, this is not the place for you. Otherwise, it's perfect. Would definitely stay here again.
This property is one of the best VRBO's we've stayed in, and we've stayed in a lot. It was the perfect place to enjoy time with our Texas cousins. Plenty of space, great location, and the secure parking was a bonus.
We loved this place. The location was amazing! Having the coffee shop next door was wonderful. The beds were very comfy and had great sheets and the balconies were awesome and we ate pecans from the tree out front. I would highly recommend this place.
Well maintained and cared for accommodation. The condo was very clean and came with amenities as described. We had a great stay here. Fantastic location just off of South Congress, excellent coffee shops and restaurants within a few steps. (Access to the condo’s first floor does require a flight of steps and same for access to the second bedroom)
Had an excellent 3 night stay! Located close to all services needed including good food and shopping. Excellent proximity to downtown. The place itself was spacious and very clean. Well stocked and appointed. Beds were comfortable. TVs in both bedrooms was a plus. As was the secure parking space! Would definitely stay here again on a return to Austin.
Host was very responsive and flexible. Great location. The place is very convenient and they’ve added everything to make it as convenient as possible. Separate bedrooms and the pull out couch allowed for plenty of sleeping space for our group.
Loved our stay and the house was very accommodating and near so much. The host was extremely good to work with and it’s such a nice property.
If I had any suggestions it would be to have some blinds installed in the downstairs bathroom, downstairs bedroom and living area.
I would definitely stay here again and suggest it to others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The location is ideal (residential yet basically on Congress for restaurant and shopping access), parking spot was a big bonus, and the place was perfectly equipped. We appreciated the kitchen necessities and extras, things that are often not well stocked in rental properties. The design and decor made my daughters feel pretty special during our week away from home. We'd definitely stay here again!
This property is in the perfect location, easy to walk to amazing restaurants and shopping. It was easy to find, get in and out. We stayed here as home base and traveled to San Antonio one day and Waco the next. The property was perfect for my daughter and I where we could watch movies at night and still get our own space. Very modern and had comfortable amenities. This was great value for the space - hotels in the area are much more expensive.
Place was very clean and organized. More than enough room for four adults to hang out and also have some privacy. Great location to hang out on South Congress Avenue which has a many little shops and places to eat. 6th Street and Rainey Street District all within walking distance or a short Uber ride. Would definitely stay again if ever back in Austin.

About the host
Hosted by Meredith Maycotte
We are originally from Texas and Mexico. We love traveling the world and like to stay in vacation rentals so we can get a more local experience wherever we go. We also really enjoy hosting other guests.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is a quintessential Austin neighborhood. There is a lot of action, and you really feel like you are right in the middle of everything. A lot of people in Austin end up using their cars to get everywhere. However, we really wanted a place that you could walk out the front door and start experiencing the vibrant city. The houses in the neighborhood are a mix of historic gems and modern architecture. We really enjoy the eclectic vibe.
