Park Place - From Sharon R on July 9, 2016 (5-stars on HomeAway): Park Place is an ideal vacation rental in Austin. Located within easy walking distance of Zilker Park and great hikes along Barton Springs and the Colorado River, It's close to the lively South Congress (SOCO) neighborhood, and downtown, the Capitol, the University of Texas and the music scene on Sixth Street.
The condo is amazingly well provisioned for a family stay. The Reynolds have thought of everything from coffee and filters, to extra sunscreen and bug spray on the deck. The kitchen has everything you need for meal preparation, the living space is ample and cozy, the beds and linens are plush and comfortable.
We especially enjoyed the deck. It is situated at a height that makes you feel that you are in the trees. It was a great place for morning coffee listening to the doves "cooing" or an afternoon cocktail and a board game. A great place for a family reunion visit to Austin.

Park Place - From Nathaniel M. on Oct 22 2015 (5-stars on HomeAway): We (myself and a party of 5) stayed at park place during the Formula 1 weekend. We got to spend a lot of extra time at the property due to the weather that weekend, but this was in no way a bad thing. We had an excellent place to stay!! The property by far exceeded my expectations, was clean, neat, comfortable and we did not want for anything. We had all the cooking equipment we needed, the rest of the house was equipped with all we needed to stay entertained and relax. We met one of the owners when we arrived and she was very welcoming, helpful and wanted to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Great neighborhood, close to Congress and Downtown. I plan to stay here again!

Kaleido House - Megan N April 2016 (5-star review on HomeAway): Our group of 5 moms on a weekend getaway completely enjoyed the Kaleido House. Cynthia was great at communicating and the couple things I needed to ask her were immediately responded to. The condo was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and the bedding/sheets/towels were nice. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of things like toilet paper and laundry detergent, spices in the kitchen, etc. We cooked one night and had everything we needed as far as kitchen utensils. It was wonderful to have freshly ground coffee and a good coffee maker. The location is great, we enjoyed shopping on congress ave, walking at Zilker park, canoeing the river, etc. Honestly the only minor thing to note is that in the spa tub the jets are non-operational. The listing is accurate and doesn't say jetted tub or anything, I just saw the huge bathtub in the picture and assumed I would be taking a jet bath. The bathroom is amazing nonetheless! Would definitely stay here again!

Treehouse - Supriya S on July 2, 2016 (5-star review on HomeAway): Whenever we are in Austin, propertieswith Zilker Vacations is the place for us. I was attending a conference in Austin, May 29 –June 1, 2016 and stayed at the Tree House. I picked it over the conference hotel downtown since it offers so much more space and a very nice feeling being so close to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. The free car parking was helpful. This was my second time in The Tree House. We have stayed at other properties by Zilker Vacations and all of them are super. Dealing with the Reynolds is a pleasure. They are so helpful and courteous. The best part of Tree House is the balcony. I can spend hours there enjoying the green park. Proximity to downtown and so many nice eateries within walking distance makes this such a convenient place. I love all the nice amenities available in this rental. This was our fifth time with Zilker Vacations and will not be the last.

Treehouse - Alan S on April 2nd 2016 (5-star review on HomeAway): This was our second visit to the Tree House and it won't be our last. The place is spotless and everything we needed was ready and waiting. The owners are very helpful with tips and directions. The view from the deck is beautiful and we spent leisurely time there to wind down from the music. We enjoyed Antone's Saxon Pub, Lucky Lounge, Threadgill's and the Broken Spoke (took Texas Swing dance lessons there). It's a short walk to Barton Springs and the foot trails along the river. The Sunday brunch at Fonda San Miguel is just the best Mexican food anywhere. For cheaper fare, we love Torchy's Tacos and the little drive through on South Lamar, El Tacorrido. San Antonio is only a 90 minute drive and we went to see the Alamo. See you next time!

ATX House - Susan on May 12 2016 (5-star review on HomeAway): This is our fourth stay in a Zilker Vacation property and we found The ATX just as wonderful as the others. Clean and beautifully decorated with so many thoughtful touches. This location feels like living in a tree house with the lush green view and was once again the perfect place to stay for our "spring fling weekend" in Austin.

ATX House - Sis said on May 13 2016 (5-star review on HomeAway): Stay in this lovely condo for a month Apr - May. It was perfect...great location, all of the amenities you need for your stay...every small detail was consider. Very comfortable furniture (which we appreciate since we stayed a month) including the bed...awesome mattress and bedding. We really can't say enough about the place and would definitely stay here again!

Heart House - 5-star review on HomeAway: As someone who spends hours looking at properties and reviews before booking my 4-5 visits a year to Austin, I couldn't have been more pleased with the Heart House. The location is excellent and the fun, light filled spaces made for a pleasant stay on a rainy weekend.
The high ceilings in the living space were a fantastic bonus as were the size of the bedroom and closet. Everything was clean and every amenity from movies to gourmet flavored teas was ready and waiting.
Spending time on the balcony would have been great if the weather had been more cooperative but we still enjoyed the great view from the living space.
Plenty of Austin shopping and restaurants are nearby as well as the University of Texas and downtown. I can whole heartedly recommend the Heart House after a stay that left me wishing I could linger a few more days.

Heart House - Christel on Aug 17th 2015 (5-stars on HomeAway): It was perfect! Just as the pictures depicted. Clean, nicely decorated. Comfortable beds, and fully stocked with necessities (for the pool, kitchen, etc.). Close to a variety of activities, perfectly located for lots of walkable adventures (our favorite being Barton Springs Pool). My children (9 year old twins) loved being able to walk down the road to the pool, the park, the sculpture garden and the food trucks.

Sweet - William P. on May 31st 2016 (5-stars on HomeAway): The Sweet is even nicer than it looks like in the pictures. Great Austin location. Ms. Reynolds greeted us shortly after our arrival and answered any questions we had. The property was exceptionally clean, well maintained, and comfortable. We will be back soon.

Sweet - Josh R on March 25 2016 (5-stars on HomeAway):
I stayed at the Zilker vacations "Sweet" spot on my own for a work trip but also was able to visit family in the area who loved coming over to visit to hang out there and also spend time in the surrounding neighborhoods. The place itself is perfect for an individual or family. It has one bedroom, and a foldout couch in the lovely living room, and a great porch to hang out on. The owners care about the people that stay and it shows in the detailed care they've taken of the place and the work they do to make sure he guests have everything they need. They provided great lists of activities, had up to date local newspapers and magazines with recommendations and were always willing to help should I need anything.
Nearby the house is pretty much everything "sweet" about Austin. You have the massive Zilker park, with miles of hiking / biking / running trails (and several bike rental places nearby), and you have the amazing neighborhoods south of downtown and also downtown moments away from the front door.
When I read reviews I look for those too good to be true...But I really did love everything about my stay there, and because we're in the area visiting family regularly, we'll definitely be back.

Studio - Robby R on June 13, 2016 (5-stars on HomeAway): My fiance and I were looking for a nice quiet place to get a way for the weekend to ride bikes to local shops, restaurants, and entertainment, as well as do a little swimming and/or kayaking. We found that all of these goals were easily met due the condo's proximity to Zilker Park and all of the above. The condo was super clean, fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, and communication was perfect as to how to access the property and who to contact if we had any issues. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or a better weekend. The highlight of our trip was being able to jump into the cool waters of Barton Springs after a full day of bike riding, then going to the food truck park and trying out all of the amazing specialties each one had to offer. We will definitely be booking again in the near future.

Studio - Margie B on June 9 2016 (5-stars on HomeAway): Jay and Cynthia are welcoming, accommodating, and responsive guests. The studio has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay near Zilker Park and downtown Austin. All the little things they include in the kitchen, bathroom, closet space, and bedroom/living space were perfect. I know where I prefer staying the next time I travel to Austin, and where I will refer friends and family doing the same. Thank you so much, Cynthia and Jay!!
