Spacious Historic Hyde Park Bungalow w/ Office in Central Austin by UT/Downtown

This charming light-filled Hyde Park bungalow features 10 foot ceilings with the original wood bead board, beautiful floors, the original clawfoot tub with a full shower, a queen bed in the main bedroom, a daybed and office space in the second bedroom, a full kitchen, fresh sheets and towels, and even free laundry. This historic home was completely remodeled, includes three completely separate residences, but still has its old character and charm from 1915 and is rich in history.

The high speed internet (1 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up) connection and wifi are provided by Google Fiber, which is one of the best, fastest, and most stable internet providers in Austin. Google TV / Youtube TV provides one of the most up to date technologies for the best digital TV available.

Be right in the center of Austin by staying in Hyde Park. Venture out into the rest of Austin during the day and come back to your new relaxing home. Walk, jog, or bike around the neighborhood and enjoy the historic homes, huge trees, and parks in this trendy and quiet neighborhood.

Everything you need is within just a few short blocks! For dining choose from ASTI, Mother's Cafe, Hyde Park Bar and Grill, and Julio's. Go grocery shopping at the local and organic grocery store, Fresh Plus. Get on the bus on the next block over and head straight to downtown and back.

We are family friendly and can accommodate children 5 years old or older. Total of 3 people includes any children. The layout is a shotgun layout. The living room leads into the main bedroom, then into the kitchen, then into the back room/office that has the bathroom attached to it.

Absolutely beautiful and spacious light-filled apartment. I loved the place and Pete really consistently goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable and happy. Also, responds really quickly.I'd recommend the apartment in any circumstance, for a weekend in Austin or a 3 month stay. if I could, I'd take the apartment with me for my next move!

Perfect 7 day stay

Just my wife and I, for 2 of us it was big, well equipped, plentiful space. Heater and AC worked well (and we needed both on this trip). Neighborhood quiet, safe and convenient to downtown & the Capitol area. Would happily stay here again

Hyde park stay

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The location was very nice, in an interesting neighborhood for walking, and an easy walk to central market, a Starbucks, parks, and other sites. The apartment was very clean, in good condition, and comfortable. Pete answered any text message in just a few minutes. I would certainly stay here again. The only caution is that the claw foot tub is quite high, and a person who is shorter in stature or has balance issues might find it difficult to use.

Hyde Park Happy

The place was perfect! All the amenities that the Pete describes are there. Super comfortable house and the AC and heat are great. I came in Jan/Feb and it’s Texas so the AC and Heat both were needed. 70s one week, 40s the next and the house always felt amazing. I also had to work while I was there so the Google fiber that I hear about was awesome. We don’t have this in Boston so it’s one of the few times the internet was faster than my own home. Location! – I was looking to be in the city, but not IN the city. Hyde Park was perfect. I could either do a 5 minute Uber ride or just walk 20 mins directly south and I’d be right at UT and close to the middle of Austin. Made exploring the city so very easy. If I didn’t want to venture downtown, there were many bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk right around the house so it was perfect. Bartenders were very fun and very cool about telling you about Austin and other places to go. In fact, going to miss a few of them. One big thing for me, and this might night be as important to other renters, but this was my first time ever doing a VRBO. So I was always a bit nervous with the whole process. Pete made this SO easy for me and answered all questions I had and made the entire process not seem as scary as I thought it would be. If you’ve never done this before, he’s a great guy and will help you out. Overall, so very happy and would absolutely rent again, or at least, rent another one of his properties. Happy travels!

Hyde Park hideaway

This rental property is quite spacious, given that it has a separate office (or sitting room) in addition to the bedroom. It is located in a very convenient neighborhood, that is one of the few walkable neighborhoods in Austin. Clean, convenient, and an easy check-in—what more could you ask for?

Spartan rental

Location perfect for us. Daughter and family one block away. Good eateries nearby. HEB grocery only five min drive. Furnishings and supplies spartan. Felt like I was back in UsMC barracks. Layout of rental bizarre. Enter into living area, but go through master bedroom to kitchen and then to second bedroom and The only bathroom. Bathroom tiny. Shower awkward. If more than 2 people in rental, would be uncomfortable. Owners need to provide some coasters so drinks don’t ring tables. We did not cook/eat, but would have had to buy everything. All other rentals we have used provide good stock of basics. Laundry not in the house but in garage. It is very inconvenient. Except for location, would not consider renting this property again.

Great place and perfect location as central to everything. Neighborhood is quiet and interesting. Another light in the LR would be helpful and perhaps a night light in the bathroom. Would definitely recommend this place as a quiet retreat where you can relax and enjoy Austin and the surrounding countryside. 😊

Clean and comfortable

This is a clean, comfortable and functional property that is reasonably priced. It is conveniently located, 15 minutes from most of the places we wanted to visit. It is 1/3 of a house with it's own living room, bed room, kitchen/breakfast area, study (with a day bed) and a bathroom. Pete is a great host, quickly responding to all questions and few issues we countered during our stay. Bath room is bit small, especially for two people. Outside is not as well maintained as the inside but Pete told us it is his next "project".

Perfect location. Darling neighborhood

We had an outstanding 4 night stay. The property is on a wonderful, tree-lined street with great surroundings. The unit is spacious, historical and comfortable. We walked to the University of Texas for the football game and enjoyed seeing the houses along the way. Uber rides to downtown were quick and affordable, so I would highly recommend this location and this unit. Nothing but great things to say. Thank you Pete, you're a great host!
