Waterfront holiday rentals in Rainey Street Historic District, Austin

BEAUTIFUL location and home!!! Extremely picturesque, feels secluded and private, the bathroom is gorgeous, all the amenities are perfect and George and Kim were amazing hosts, went above and beyond to make sure we were extremely comfortable and had a great vacation.

Such an amazing, cozy mini vacation—truly felt right at home! Mornings with coffee on the balcony were the perfect start to the day. The thoughtful touches throughout the apartment, especially the fan in the bedroom, made the stay extra comfortable. It was so quiet and peaceful, and watching the deer wander by was a real treat!

Dakota's apartment was an excellent stay. The view is absolutely amazing. The apartment itself is very elegant, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is sufficiently stocked for cooking and great coffee. The beds and living area furniture are very comfortable and a nice quality. The showers are also nice. The location of the apartment building is great and very walkable to restaurants and entertainment. The apartment building is nice, safe and efficient (as well as the valet parking). The front desk staff are friendly and will securely store luggage until check-in time. Note that the check-in staff seem to only rely on the host for details of the apartment, thankfully Dakota is very responsive. We look forward to staying here again!

The unit was clean and had everything we needed. I would suggest adding a full length mirror though. The rooftop pool was a nice amenity to have in the hot weather. It was within walking distance to Lady Bird Lake, the walking trail, Rainey St, 6th St and Congress St which was very convenient. You really didn’t need a car, but the valet parking was appreciated. My complaints would be the noise from the constant traffic on Route 35 and the bathroom floor gets very slippery with the moisture from the shower.

Was relaxing, felt like home, peaceful. River/Lake was beautiful!

We loved the apartment! The great location, super clean apartment, tasteful decoration, this apartment had everything we needed. I especially appreciated how clean the place was. Since it is located in the shopping areas, it can get noisy at night but earplugs were provided and we had no issues with sleeping. My kids slept in the second bedroom which was away from the street and they said it was super quiet. We stayed here for MOTOGP at COTA. Since this place is right off the highway, it was only 45 minutes away from the track. Maybe even shorter with toll roads. MO was very responsive with communication and super helpful. Easy check in and check out. Everything worked and was easy to operate. 100% recommended.

What a great location and beautiful yard!

Host is very friendly and responsive. Beautiful location with a cute swinging chair next to the river. Apartment is older than it looks in the pictures, but has a lot of character. Would rent again, it's adorable!

Solid Airbnb, had 15 of my friends for my bachelor trip and we all thought the space was super nice. One of the most well stocked airbnbs I’ve stayed at! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a solid airbnb for a lot of people!

Our family of 10 enjoyed this Lake House home. It is perfect for families. It was spacious, clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was a nice separation of bedrooms on the upper level for the adults allowing our teenage kids to have the lower level bedrooms, but there were also bedrooms laid out to accommodate parents and children of younger ages on the lower level. We especially enjoyed the game room with table tennis, foosball and darts. The home has a flat, grassy back yard and we were easily able to set up a volleyball net and play soccer. The friendly deer emerged in the evenings and mornings and were a delight. The owner, Matt, was a very responsive host and answered our questions promptly. We were prepared for lower lake levels given the drought at Lake Travis, so note that the hike down to the water and the dock is steep and rocky given the current conditions.

This house was such a great, quiet, house on the lake. Plenty of amenities available between Kayaks, Floats, and life jackets, to a fully furnished home. If you bring your boat to tie up to the dock, be sure to bring plenty of fenders. The dock is very nice, but being on Lake Austin (narrow river) there are many surfers passing close by. The lake level is near constant year round, but is a very active lake. Would come back here in a heartbeat!!

We had a great stay! The check in/check out was easy. Everything was thoroughly explained and clear. The house was very clean and had plenty of beds, making it perfect for our group. Located in a cul-de-sac. The neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Siren's Cove was a great weekend getaway! It had everything we were looking for in such a beautiful location. The host was easy to get ahold of and was always quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. I would highly recommend this place for anybody that's looking for a great/quiet weekend trip!

House was really nice and everyone had plenty of room. View from the backyard was amazing. Short walk down to the lake and boat dock. Being able to use the kayaks and paddle boards was a huge bonus.

An amazing property with a kind hostess. We felt the warm welcome and charming southern hospitality just oozing out of this place. They provided every supply for our weekend except our food and drinks. There was charcoal for the bbq, kayaks and life jackets for the river, abundant firewood and sticks for s'mores, bubbles, floaties for the pool, a blender for making drinks. We saw a heron, owls, a friendly cat, and few deer grazing on the property one morning. The whole weekend was like a little taste of paradise. Thank you.

Our stay was amazing! Piyumi was very attentive and when having questions he responded quickly and answered my questions. The house was very beautiful and had everything we needed. With 8 guests we all had our own beds and the rooms were very clean and organized! A good plus was the park right in front of them home where there was a beautiful lake where you can fish and take walks. The neighborhood was very quiet and very nice. I will definitely come back and stay here again when we come back to Austin!

Escape to the Hollows was the perfect place for a “staycation”. It was one of the best vacation rentals I’ve done. John was super responsive and friendly. When you stay there you want for nothing. You don’t need to bring anything other than your clothes and personal necessities. I’m already thinking of coming back to the Austin area for thanksgiving and Escape will be at the top of my list!

My fiancée and I enjoyed the place, minor issues with the building A/C and water but it got fixed right away. Our host made sure we were updated with any and all information regarding the issue. Highly recommended. Ps. The assigned parking spot for this specific unit is real tight, I drive a truck and my passenger ended up having to get down before I parking. Also the hot tub is not working, so ask ahead of time if the hot tub is a deal breaker for you. Overall a good relaxing place that we enjoyed. 10/10

Every unit that Jason managers is beautiful and well maintained....I've stayed in at least 4 separate units and they are all wonderful!

We had a wonderful 5-night stay in Austin celebrating my husband's 70th BDay with our two daughters. The experience was made even more special thanks to our fabulous hosts, Maelia & Liya. They were incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had-always ready with helpful recommendations for local events and dining. The suite itself was perfect for our family—2 bdrms, 2 baths, & a fully equipped kitchen with every amenity you could think of. From cooking spices and spray to honey for tea, pool towels, plastic glasses, and even a picnic basket for enjoying the pool area—it felt like everything had been thoughtfully considered. Speaking of the pool—it was absolutely fabulous! Plenty of reclining chairs made it easy to relax in the sun, & the view from the pool area was simply amazing. The location was also ideal, with lots of excellent restaurants nearby and just a pleasant 30-minute walk across the bridge to reach a variety of shopping options. We will definitely return

Great hosts and place!

Perfect place with an impeccable view!!! Bring a sleep mask if you want to sleep in.

Our family of four absolutely loved our stay! The location is private and peaceful, and while it’s a bit far from Austin and all there is to do downtown, it was the perfect escape for our Spring Break weekend. The condo was cozy, with plenty of games and activities. We enjoyed our time on the patio, played pickleball, spent a lot of time in the hot tub and pool (or reading by the pool at sunset with the most incredible view), and my animal whisperer son got to feed and interact with the deer on site- a real highlight for him! Thank you, Cheri for a wonderful stay! We hope to be back one day!

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The kitchen was well-stocked and convenient to have. The view was absolutely stunning and made our time there even more special. The hosts were warm, responsive, and made sure we felt right at home. We truly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back!
