Zilker Paradise Found (w Pool & Downtown Skyline View)
Located less than 5 minutes from Downtown, this spacious designer 5-bedroom home is still tucked away in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood next to the 351-acre Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool. Our location is central to all the attractions that make people love Austin. Shopping on SOCO, kayaking Lady Bird Lake, famous BBQ, the best restaurants, quirky cocktail bars, live music…you name it! It’s all right around the corner from our house.
Rentals with cheap furniture and minimalist setups are a dime a dozen, but ours is filled with memories, not Ikea. This is a Home. It is cared for and loved. That is how we’d like you to feel during your stay, as well. We want it to be your Paradise Found.
The house is flush with luxury amenities for you to enjoy. Multiple fireplaces, a resort-style backyard, a private soundproofed theater room with an 80” SmartTV and a deep-soak bathtub in the spa-like 3rd floor bathroom are all at your disposal with your stay. In our large, open chef’s kitchen, we have all the cookware you could need. All three full bathrooms come fully stocked with travel amenities and you’ll find premium products from L'Occitane in the showers, as well. We also believe that no one should have to sleep on a cheap, uncomfortable mattress, so we hope you will be pleased with the ultra-plush beds that we’ve setup in all five bedrooms, as well as the blackout shades, to help you wake up feeling rested. The entire house is on a water filter, as well as a salt-based water softener, giving you refreshing water from the tap and showers that will leave you feeling soft and smooth. We've set out some bath bombs, with essential oils and shea butter, to enjoy with the deep soak tub in the main 3rd floor bathroom.
As soon as you step through the front door, you will discover two story floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the spacious open layout with natural light. Relax and enjoy your meals in the separate dining sunroom. Take in the bamboo-enclosed backyard, where you can take a dive in the pool, barbeque some steaks, sit by the fire pit, or lay out on the deck. On the 3rd floor, you can lock yourself away with a private den, fireplace, spa-style bathroom, and a bedroom that walks right out onto a shaded outdoor lounge. We also have the perfect place to unwind in the evenings. Head up the stairs to the full-sized rooftop patio and enjoy an unbeatable view of the gorgeous downtown skyline. It’s even better when there’s fireworks!
You'll have the whole place to yourself. Some drawers, cabinets, and a few closets have personal belongings in them but you will see they are marked as Private as well as being locked. Don't worry. There are still a ton of other closets and places for storage, should you need them. The garage is also closed to guest use.
We do ask that, when possible, you take your shoes off inside the house to keep the wood floors looking nice. We provide soft memory foam indoor/outdoor slippers to keep you comfortable around the house. They are always kept washed and sanitized. We also provide every guest with their very own pair of spa slippers, which you can feel free to take with you, as well.
I'd love to help make your stay as incredible as possible by helping with any recommendations, as well as tending to any needs/requests you have during your stay. I want your stay to be a memorable one!
In the beautiful and serene Zilker neighborhood, right off Barton Springs Road and next to Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, South Lamar businesses, hiking, biking, and kayaking.
Less than 2 mile drive from local amenities such as Zilker Park, shops and restaurants on South Lamar, the Green Belt, and Downtown Austin.
We do have some rules we all have to follow, as per City of Austin regulations on short-term rentals.
1) Outdoor spaces are in Quiet Hours between 10pm and 7am. Personally, we do also want to keep our neighborhood the peaceful retreat that it is and be respectful of our neighbors.
2) Parties and Events are not permitted. Therefore, we do not operate as a Venue and cannot host any more than the number of guests on the reservation. We would love to help you celebrate any special occasions you may be coming into town for, though.
3) The city has placed an occupancy limit of 6 unrelated adults. So, whereas our house can sleep 10, 4 of them would have to be related to reach that limit.
These are the rules we have to follow or be at risk of losing our required license, so we very much appreciate in advance your efforts to help us with this.
And our House Rules: No guests under 25 (without parent or legal guardian).
No Pets. A Deep Cleaning fee will be charged if pets are inside the house.
No Bachelor parties.
No more than 15 total guests at the house at any time. Please no pinning or adhering anything to walls, aside from with scotch tape. If you intend to host unregistered persons at the property, you must disclose the number of extra people anticipated. The Primary Guest takes full responsibility for any damage caused by all other guests. No more than SIX vehicles at the property (4 in the driveway and 2 street parking). NO SMOKING IN THE HOUSE, PLEASE. Smoking inside will result in a charge appropriate to the scope of the damage. And please don't pee in the yard. (Yes, I actually have to state this, apparently)
Thank You!
*Every Guest, after the first 4, will incur an additional $50/night charge to the nightly rate. This is already built-in to the initial quote, when you enter the details of your stay, and will not appear as an additional charge. Undisclosed guests, however, constitute a violation of the rental agreement.
Important: Before you arrive you will be asked to complete guest verification through third-party provider Truvi. This is done to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations as well as providing both our guests and our properties with extra protection. Truvi will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. You will be give a choice between deposit and damage waiver options. Please do so prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process.
Big house, great backyard, actually has the bedrooms/beds as advertised...beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were nice. Very impressed by this place and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking.

Thanks so much, Phillip! We definitely know the disappointment that comes with a Bait and Switch, between the photos and the actual house. I'm really grateful you enjoyed the house. :) Come back any time!

Perfect stay, despite the gloomy weather
The photos do not even begin to do this incredible home justice! Sadly, it rained every day during our stay - but if we were stuck mostly housebound due to the weather, we thankfully could not have been more comfortable in such a beautiful and well appointed home! The thoughtful welcome gift from our host was a wonderful touch. Thankfully the sun peeked out long enough on our last day for us to enjoy lunch in the beautiful backyard and a dip in the gorgeous pool. I will most definitely book this home again on a future visit to Austin…it was absolute perfection.

amazing experience - strongly recommend
Cannot say enough good things about this property or our stay in the house. All around excellent - the home is beautiful and comfortable, the amenities/beds/linens are great, and the view from the roof is spectacular. Location is also fantastic. Elijah was a helpful and attentive host. Strongly recommend if you're looking for an extraordinary place in Austin.

Amazing house!
Zilker Paradise was the perfect setting for our family Thanksgiving week! The house was in great shape and spotless! The kitchen was well stocked with items even to cook a big Thanksgiving meal! The layout of the bedrooms was perfect! One on the first floor, 3 on the 2nd floor and the master suite was the entire 3rd floor! The media room allowed for numerous, fun family movie nights! The rooftop gave spectacular views of Zilker and downtown Austin! Our family made great memories in the beautiful house! You will love it too!

Family Thanksgiving
We had a great time in Austin and the location of the house was perfect. The house was clean and comfortable. The only negative is that there is no tv in the living area, it is in a separate, closed off room. This would be great for smaller children, but a bit difficult for the whole family to watch football, especially while preparing meals or hanging out. Otherwise, it was super!

Nice home in Zilker
Pretty, spacious home with character.Be aware the garage is not for guest use; had I known this sooner, I would have driven an alternate vehicle.Serveware is minimal, so consider bringing your own platters and serving bowls if you plan on serving a meal. Could not locate a recycling bin, so I carried all recyclables home with me to Houston…very unusual and disappointing for an Austin property!Pool and backyard are beautiful, and the property served it’s purpose for our intimate baby shower.However, for the price and 2-night minimum, I would not book again.

I'm very sorry for the shortcomings you had with our home. As the house is quite sprawling, I do try hard to get all potential info to everyone, ahead of time. We do have in our listing that the garage is not available for guest use, and I leave the Welcome Book in the entryway that contains all info on practical items, such as the location of the trash/recycle bins, which are on the side of the house or perhaps placed at the end of the drive by our trash service on pickup days. We also supply the house's webpage in all welcome messages leading up to check-in day that lists amenities and this need-to-know info, as well.
I appreciate your feedback on the serving platters, and I'll be reassessing the stock, as we do want to have a very fully stocked kitchen for this exact reason. I apologize that we came up lacking.
I encourage every guest to never hesitate to reach out directly if they have any questions or requests of any kind. I always try my best to make myself available and am willing to help with anything at all. There's always room for making improvements and for creating extra special stays, which is what I sincerely want for everyone who experiences Austin and our home.

Amazeballs & Unforgettable
I was lucky to stay at this property with 7 other of my friends (45+). Backyard is awesome. Pictures on site are spot on. The strings light go off understandably at 10pm but we enjoyed sitting out there just for those lights. Feet in pool, talking and just relaxing. The house was more than spacious for 8 of us. The upstairs master suite is incredible with an attached outdoor space. That shower! And then, there is the rooftop area with a picturesque view of Austin downtown. Location was great. A quick Lyft/Uber to downtown while staying in a safe quiet neighborhood. Kayak rentals and restaurants within walking distance too. Not only was the property everything you could imagine but the property manager was absolutely great. This was not my first choice in Austin but my original VRBO plans got cancelled with not much time to find another place. Elijah was very accommodating through this process and even spoke directly with rebooking team. He may have been too nice as I continued to reach out during our entire stay. Every time I sent a msg I got a response back almost immediately. I owed an extra $35 due to rebooking to new property. Elijah hooked us up with some champagne to make up for the difference or maybe that's the norm, I wouldn't be surprised.
