vacation rental description

Welcome and thank you for considering our property! Heights Hideaway is a charming two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath (1000 sf) vacation rental home in the beautiful Travis Heights neighborhood, just a couple of blocks from vibrant South Congress (“SoCo”) and its many restaurants, boutique shops, and premier live music venues. You’re also minutes by car, bike, cab, bus, or foot from the center of downtown and the 6th Street, Warehouse (4th Street) and 2nd Street entertainment districts, the Texas State Capitol, and the University of Texas. The Congress Avenue “Bat“ Bridge, which marks the edge of downtown, is just over a mile away and the Long Performing Arts and Palmer Event Centers, the hike-and-bike trail, Barton Springs and Zilker Park (site of the Austin City Limits Music Festival and the Trail of Lights) are at your doorstep. Heights Hideaway is across the street from Stacy Park, a Travis Heights landmark that practically connects the property with Lady Bird/Town Lake, and which has a great year-round free pool.

Heights Hideaway is a Spanish-inspired stucco garden home with a beautiful enclosed courtyard with fountain. (Although technically a duplex, the home shares no common areas - the courtyard in the pictures and the front yard are reserved for your exclusive use.) The interior is decorated in similar style, with tile and hand-scraped hardwood floors throughout and a living room with vaulted ceiling. The furnishings are elegant but were selected with comfort in mind -- this is Austin, after all! The Hideaway sleeps 4 guests in its two bedrooms (1 queen and 2 twins) and can accommodate 2 additional guests on the queen sleeper sofa in the living room. The bathroom is a "Hollywood bath," with a half bath (sink and commode) connected to a full bath (shower/tub, sink, and commode). 

Whether you’re coming to experience the “Third Coast’s” world-class music and art scene, participate in Austin's abundant outdoor activities, or simply explore the great restaurants, shopping, and funky vibe that make Austin a top-rated travel destination and place to live, Heights Hacienda is your perfectly-Austin "home away from home."

We look forward to your visit!

traveler reviews for this austin townhome rental

Beautiful Townhome in Perfect Neighborhood!

cc84 (Portland, OR)
Review submitted: April 2, 2013   Date of arrival: March 19, 2013

My husband and I stayed here for 10 days at the end of March and it was such a wonderful experience! From the reviews I read I thought the townhome would be nice, but I really didn't expect it to be as nice as it was! There was plenty of space, with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, a full-equiped laundry room and full- sized kitchen, and dining room, and the most beautiful, relaxing outside private courtyard with a little fountain and table and chairs. Both the living/dining room and master bedroom have sliding glass doors to the courtyard, and you can hear the fountain all the time if you leave the windows open. The kitchen was great - I did a lot of cooking while we were there, and the stove and dishwasher worked just great.

The townhome is located right across from a park, and just around the block from S. Congress, where all the best little shops and cafes and foodcarts are. I don't think you could find a more perfect location. I couldn't believe with all this, it cost less than a hotel too! This was our first time using a vacation rental, but it was such a great experience, we're definitely going to be looking for vacation rentals when we travel from now on.

Thanks again so much for a wonderful time!

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet-friendly, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Owners response: Thanks so much for your kind words! Lots of guests stay here for the proximity to S. Congress and all it has to offer. Thanks for pointing out the benefits of the property itself -- we think it's a nice retreat, too! Please come back and see us.

Weekend Vacation

bweet (Albuquerque, NM, USA)
Review submitted: October 25, 2012   Date of arrival: October 19, 2012

I took a risk by using a vacation rental because all of the hotels in the area were completely booked for the Film Festival. I am so incredibly happy that I did! The house is a two bedroom with all of the amenities needed for a proper vacation and then some. The property is cozy but not small. It is charming and comfortable. It could use a couple little areas of upkeep, but nothing that would affect a renter. The house had everything we needed.
The best part is the location; hands down. Travis Heights is definitely the most convenient location to be in. It's so close to South Congress that if you were ok with a little bit of a walk, you don't really need a car. The lot is well maintained and the renters that were in the unit behind us didn't make a peep. The owner is very polite and makes it easy to check in without any problems or confusion. It was a great stay and when we come back to Austin to visit, Eric will be the first person we will call to rent one of his properties.

Owners response: Thanks for your kind words. We look forward to your next visit.

Christmas in ATX

babycharlie213 (Tulsa, OK)
Review submitted: November 28, 2011   Date of arrival: December 1, 2010

My husband and our children spent the month of December at the Heights Hideaway and made wonderful memories that we will always cherish. The owner is so kind and helpful, and it was such a pleasure getting to know him. The house is precious and was just was we needed for that month. Even though we were not at "home" the holidays were very special, because of how comfortable and charming the Heights Hideaway is. Our kids call in our "Austin Home". We look forward to staying there again in the future.

Recommended for: families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet-friendly, romantic getaway
