Every personal touch, local suggestion, item in your welcome basket, extra towel, flexible check-in/out accommodation, passed along beverage, & pantry item is because we care about you having an AUTHENTIC Austin experience and we are HUMANS with empathy, compassion, and excellent taste.

High-end Bachelor/Bachelorette groups are welcome if every member of your group fully agrees to our ethos of total respect for our home & making zero to no impact on our neighbors. This is NOT the house to book for a binge-drinking getaway. THIS IS A MUST. We will give you equal respect and more.

Enjoy the thoughtful, personal touches of our family home, including a well-stocked kitchen, 1929 Steinway grand, iconic art, & a gathering space we have intentionally created as a regular gathering place for our own beloved creative community.

Sarah is a multiple Austin Music Award-winning singer and songwriter. She is happy to help you book local musicians to play a private living room concert. We personally host local legends regularly.

Garage loft is a separate rental, but can be added for an additional fee. I have another listing that combines the main house and back apartment.

Our home is solar-powered w/ 13KW backup battery to buy time if the grid is down.

Feels like home

This property is great! It is perfectly located just outside downtown and a short ride from the airport! The photos are very accurate and the house is very comfortable for a large group. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The house is graciously stocked for families/large groups. The owner is extremely responsive prior to and throughout the the stay.

Exactly as is advertised!

Absolutely wonderful and responsive host with great amenities. The pool was actually heated (I’ve been to plenty of pools that say they’re heated, but still aren’t warm enough to enjoy during cold weather, but this one was). The house is a little old, so my only advice would be to have a plunger in at least one of the bathrooms 😅 everything was great overall!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Sharp

Long-time Austin musician & 6th generation Texan in love w/ a former UT swim captain/builder who is continually updating & improving our home.

My band plays the early show at Elephant Room every Thursday. Jazz, Americana + Singer/Songwriter, in the vein of Norah Jones.

We care about creating a space that is peaceful, inviting, & inspiring for our guests and our own family and community. Our friends and creative community tends to gather here .We also care deeply about our guests being VERY considerate of our neighbors.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. I am an enthusiastic local guide, especially for live music, as I've been a member of the music community for many years. Our block is a dead end, surrounded by the park and the lake. very quiet at night. The trial out front is a 10-mile loop. Between our house and the lake is only park land with baseball fields. In the winter when the trees are bare, we have panoramic views of the water.

The neighborhood overflows with exciting new foodie restaurants, bars, and some of the best food trailers in Austin. Walk 1 mile to the Rainey Street district.

This is a very spacious family home with a lot of love and good energy. You'll know we live there, but not be overwhelmed by clutter or our belongings.

The plunge pool can be heated up to 100 degrees! We do not want to charge an additional fee to heat it, but might need to, depending on the outside temperature and the water temp you desire. E.g. If you want it at 100 in the dead of winter, we'll need to charge a pool heating fee.

We are mostly solar powered + 13 KW of backup batteries to buy time, bridge the gap if our grid goes down. Gas heater.

What makes this property unique

My front porch swing is my spiritual center. I love to listen to the countless species of birds announce themselves one by one as they wake up in the morning and to watch runners, cyclists, etc. go by on the trail from the swing. There is a lovely evening breeze off the lake most nights and excellent shade from the Pecan tree.

Kids, will love the playroom, x box, spiderweb swing and porch swing.

Time Out recently published a list of the 50 coolest neighborhoods IN THE WORLD and they put us - Holly, Austin as #24.

Getting around is easy. We are a very inexpensive Uber, Lyft to downtown, SOCO, Barton Springs, etc. There are plenty of scooters and bikes to rent in our neighborhood as well.
