Great Austin Getaway Home

We stayed here for a long weekend during Austin City Limits music festival. The home is in good condition, and has all the amenities we needed to have a comfortable stay for 5 adults. Close proximity to the city and walkable to restaurants when it isn't too hot. Overall it was a great experience - we would stay at this property again! Thanks!

Very difficult owner. Trust your instincts.

This property was very neglected and was only partially furnished. We cleaned it up, inside and out, and furnished it with kitchen utensils and appliances and a few pieces of missing furniture during our one month stay. The landlord was very uptight and continually messaged me withe her concerns during our stay. The city came by to let us know we were breaking the law as the property was not zoned for short term rentals. Upon checkout the landlord claimed we broke the toilet and rather than thank us for all we had done wanted an extra cleaning fee and for us to buy a new toilet.

Awesome location in Austin!

This quaint bungalow is the perfect way to enjoy more of real Austin with outdoor spaces in an upscale neighborhood walking distance to downtown and even closer to where you want to be for nightlife in SoCo. There is a beautiful park with a creek close by that has an outdoor free pool. House has wifi and kitchen...everything you need for a great stay in Austin! Would definitely stay here again! The owner was great to work with and so helpful!!

south congress area bungalow

We found the area where the bungalow is to very convenient.The South Congress area has lots to do and downtown is only a twenty minute walk or there is easy mass transit. When not out in the action,I really enjoyed sitting in the front yard,which is on a quiet street and has lots of plants and trees. The bungalow had everything we needed and was very clean.The owner was really nice,and if we are ever back in Austin,we will try to stay there again.

Cute house hidden away yet close to everything!

Took a trip to Austin for a business retreat and was not looking forward to staying in an overpriced and cold hotel room. A friend turned me on to Tazzoe Rentals and me and my colleagues ended up staying in this cute little house tucked in right off of South Congress. It was everything I wanted to be. Quiet, peaceful, but I could easily walk to Austin favorites such as Magnolia Cafe. It was a great way to experience the city - when I wanted it, it was there, when I didn't want it, the house provided great refuge. The house is adorable, with a patio in the back and one in the front that provided some great spaces for catching up with people over a drink, the two bedrooms allowed us the privacy and comfort we needed, closets were huge, the water pressure on the shower was incredible! The place was exactly like the photos made it out to be, it was clean and freshly redone and had a cool Southwest theme on the inside. Staying at the house was great and I will definitely try to get the house again for next year's summit.

Cozy, Comfortable and Incredibly convenient

The home is very comfortable, quiet and private; I was able to read and catch up on studying without difficulty. It's a few blocks walk to the SoCo District with lots of great restaurants and nightclubs. The utilities work well; I love the decor and the beautiful trees sheltering the home. I will be back.

Love the Soco Hideaway!

Just came in for the weekend, and found this little gem tucked into the Travis Heights Neighborhood. Love this vrbo site! Walked to so many wonderful shops and resturaunts. Loved Magnolia for Breakfast and the little Jazz place above the Continental Club. And the house and beds were comfy too. We slept great...so quiet! Loved our stay. Gave us a real taste of Austin Eclectic!

Fun house in a stellar location!

What a fun house to stay in for a car free vacation! We were able to walk to shopping (antiques, vintage clothing, souvenirs, a yarn shop, a litle grocery) to restaurants to hang out places (Jo's Coffee is a must for hanging out and watching the beautiful people stroll by). South Congress it a busy area but the house is a few blocks removed on a quiet street, so we appreciated that too. Cute kitchen was fun for cooking and then eating out under the giant oak trees. The house was very comfortable and I would love to come back for another stay.

Great little SoCo spot!

From what I'm told (and what I've seen), South Congress is the happening new area in Austin, and this location was ideal for exploring it on foot. This colorful cottage under gigantic oaks was comfortable and appears to have been recently remodeled. We found a little jazz bar above the Continental Club and it was like hanging out with old friends (that you've never met). Nice walk home after the show.

I have had the great fortune of living in Austin for more than 21 years, and feel this Soco Bungalow is not only a great location in Travis Heights, but its the cutest house with a bit of retro and southwestern design to make this a wonderful, unique Austin experience.

I maintain the property with the utmost care, cleanliness and professionalism and enjoy the diversity of guests, happy to host all good people in all walks of life. I am also a juggler/magician and filmmaker.
