About this property
La Calavera Casita is an eclectic paradise you will love!
La Calavera Casita is situated in the heart of South Austin. The house has an eclectic atmosphere full of Mexican curios, beach treasures, vintage cameras, purple glass, rocks, fossils, and feathers. It is adorned with 2 crazy cats who have full rein of the property via a cat door. The garden paths lead to covered seating areas, including a fire pit, grill and outdoor dining. The property is less than 4 miles from SOCO and downtown Austin. Chris provides several breakfast options including coffee, tea and juice.

Hello! I am a photographer by trade. I grew up in Phoenix Arizona and spent my adult life being a commercial photographer in Texas, Florida, and New York City. I live here at La Calavera Casita and when you come to visit I will stay with close friends nearby. I love meeting new people and am excited to host your stay in Austin.
Why they chose this property
This property has many possibilities. I enjoy gardening and I am always looking for ways to improve both the indoor and outdoor spaces.
What makes this property unique
La Calavera Casita is located overlooking Williamson Creek. It is like a small desert oasis in the heart of South Austin.
