Poolside Funhouse | Arcade, Billiard, Poker & More

Welcome to Austin’s ultimate funhouse! This 4BR home has it all - arcade classics like Pac-Man and Big Buck Hunter, billiards, poker, and shuffleboard inside, plus two epic backyards. Grill, dine, and gather by the fire pit in the outdoor kitchen, or head to the poolside yard for ping pong, sun, and late-night swims. With 3.5 baths, stylish bedrooms, and endless ways to play, this stay is built for memories just minutes from downtown and Zilker.

This isn’t just a place to stay - it’s your own private Austin playground. With 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 backyards, and a pool, the house is designed for groups who want it all: space to relax, endless games, and outdoor living dialed up to the max. Here’s how it all flows:


SLEEPING QUARTERS

4 bedrooms, 5 queen beds - everyone gets a real bed (no fighting over who’s on the couch). We also provide 2 travel cribs for your little ones.

3.5 bathrooms - plenty of space for everyone to get ready at once.

Cozy, stylish rooms give you a quiet retreat after long days by the pool or late-night shuffleboard showdowns.


FUN & GAMES INSIDE

Step into the first living room and you’ll see why we call it a Funhouse:
- Pool table, poker table & shuffleboard for game-night champions.
- Big-screen TV for sports or movies.

The second living room is all about lounging and retro fun:
- Two comfy couches and another big TV.
- Arcade corners with Big Buck Hunter and Pac-Man to spark some old-school competition.


OUTDOOR LIVING (x2)

This home doesn’t stop at one backyard—you get two.

Backyard One – The Entertainer’s Zone
- Full outdoor kitchen with grill, mini-fridge, and sink.
- Outdoor TV so you can grill and catch the game.
- Dining table and fire pit for late-night hangs.

Backyard Two – The Pool Paradise
- A huge private pool for lazy floats.
- Ping pong table to keep the competition alive.
- Another outdoor TV & fire pit.


EAT & GATHER

Cooking for a crowd? You’re covered. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to whip up group meals, whether it’s pancakes in the morning or BBQ feasts at night. Two dining rooms give you options—one perfect for family-style meals, the other with a record player and a collection of vinyls so you can set the vibe while you eat or hang out. Outdoors, the kitchen, grill, and firepit seating make it just as easy to take the experience outside.


THE VIBE

The house is designed to keep the group connected, whether you’re swapping stories around the fire pit, battling in Pac-Man, or grilling burgers while cheering on your team. It’s not just a stay—it’s an Austin experience where fun never clocks out.

Guests will have full access to the entire property - including both backyards, all living spaces, and every bedroom and bathroom - with the exception of the garage, which will remain locked.

We value your privacy and will not disturb you during your stay. However, we remain available and responsive should you require any assistance or have questions. Your comfort is our priority.
