About this property
Modern sanctuary with pool, firepit & BBQ! Perfect for remote work & families!
- As featured on VRBO’s IG!
Location is perfect for Formula 1 (less than 20 mins away), ACL (18 mins) and close to downtown. Gorgeous and newly remodeled 2 bedroom private home in the HOT east Austin area. Big backyard with a 400 sq ft deck, BBQ, outdoor dining area, Fire Pit and Cowboy Pool! 2 large tv's, chef's kitchen.!
13 minutes from downtown, and even less to the popular east Austin bars and restaurants.
This is my private home and it's filled with amazing details for an incredible stay.
The living room is super cozy, has a large tv with an incredible sound system. The kitchen is perfect for cooking with a gas stove and oven, large fridge, microwave, and filled with sunshine.
Upstairs you have a primary bedroom with a closet, queen size bed, large tv and dresser. The guest bedroom has a full size bed, and a small wardrobe for hanging items, with two shelves. (I can also leave a desk and monitor - just let me know when you book). The house is 900 sq ft.
Families: I also provide a Pack N Play and high chair upon request (no extra charge)
Outside is where it gets super fun - a 400 square foot deck with a dining table for 8 people, huge sectional to hang out and a gorgeous big BBQ grill for outdoor grilling. There is also a gas fire pit with a loveseat for cuddling by the fire, and two additional chairs to have the perfect evening.
Welcome to our COWBOY POOL! What's a cowboy pool? Have a look at the photos. Perfect for 5-7 guests to lounge in and soak up the sunshine. If you are bringing a pet they must be added to the reservation

Cozy home!
I loved my stay. The host was super kind, responsive and attentive. The home was warm, welcoming and clean upon arrival. I appreciated the little touches the host included to show her appreciation. I was very comfortable and felt safe as a single female. The backyard is amazing and I really loved relaxing by the pool. I would definitely stay here again!

Great East Side Location
We enjoyed our stay with our 2 years old daughter at Rebeka’s place, she was super responsive and helpful in recommending the nearest coffee shops and taco joints. Close to Mueller, Thinkery, good restaurants. The backyard was awesome, we splashed around the cowboy pool with our daughter. Lastly, easy access to main highways to get anywhere in Austin. Highly recommend,

Just as advertised
Great experiemce. Very clean and modern. Theres enough space for 4 people and the pool was a nice touch due to the humidity. All the amenities she had made it very homey and much better than if we would fo stayed in a hotel. I came to austin to propose and the host was kind enough to allow my friends to stay for a few days to help me set up

BEAUTIFUL property. There was excellent communication before and during. She left coffee, snacks and drinks in the fridge for us. Personally, I wouldn’t stay/book again but ONLY because when I go on vacation I go to relax, but instructions/manual was way more than I’d like to follow. Felt like I couldn’t leave behind a dirty towel or be too loud so much that I felt uncomfortable being inside for too long. I never received any complaints from the owner, so we clearly weren’t, but I definitely didn’t feel relaxed due to so many introductory rules. Great space otherwise! Pretty close to Rainey street and lots of amenities to get into (on non rainy days like we had).
