Eastside Oasis - Near MLK Train Station, UT & Downtown

Enjoy a contemporary design with recessed lighting, vaulted wood ceilings, a modern kitchen, multiple sitting areas, sun room, and lots of windows and light. Many amenities await, including a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, stone breakfast bar, 48 inch HD tv, washer/dryer with a completely fenced in front and backyard, deck and garden.

The layout allows for a 1 or 2 bedroom configuration with french doors that connect the 2 bedrooms. Closed, each bedroom is separate. Opened, the space is 1 large room with a queen and twin bed.

Sleeping arrangements include a queen size bed in the main bedroom, a twin bed in the 2nd bedroom and a sofa in the sunroom that folds down into a twin bed. All linens, towels, dishes and cookware are provided as well as coffee, soaps and bath products.

Come enjoy a unique and relaxing stay on the eastside!

Guests will have complete access to entire house and yard. Nothing is shared. Be aware that the 2nd bedroom (when the french doors are closed) does not provide complete privacy as the door and wall is pretty thin. if complete separation or privacy is required, this may not be the best fit for you.

The hosts are long-time residents of Austin and are available to offer tips, recommendations and general guidance if needed or can be completely invisible if you prefer.

Eastside Oasis is conveniently located in the heart of East Austin, close to the MLK train Station, downtown and UT campus, including UT's baseball, basketball and football stadiums. Very convenient to many great bars, restaurants, and live music venues on E. 6th St., Manor St., E. 11th St. and the Red River district. Some of the best BBQ joints in the state are almost within smelling distance, including, Franklin, La Barbecue, Mueller's, Mickelthwaite and Sam's.

Your own car is recommended while visiting Austin, as the public transportation system here has something to be desired. That being said, you are a couple of blocks from the MLK/Chicon bus stop and about a 1/2 mile from the MLK train station which runs to and from downtown (but not too late). There is ample safe and free street parking right outside the gate.

To catch the train, simply walk 2 blocks west on 14th St. to catch the walking trail that leads directly to the MLK Jr. train station. This trail is also bike friendly and leads directly to the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail.

It is a short drive to downtown or UT, less than 5 minutes, or about a $6 Uber ride.

Dogs are ok with a pet fee. Please inquire before booking with pets. No cats.

No events or parties are permitted.

Nice bike/walking trail nearby, great for our dogs. Yard was well enclosed, a couple of gaps under the fence but no problem for our large dogs. Old home, but remodeled, comfortable.

Great stay for the weekend. As a single mom with an eight and ten year old, we felt very safe in this neighborhood. Very quiet at night. Less than 20 minute drive to Zilker Park. We discovered this amazing cafe called Sour Duck, must go. I would definitely stay here again but I would bring a portable fan for background noise at night. It was super quiet and we prefer a fan noise in the background. Thanks Jason!

He told me that someone had peed the bed and that I had to pay a fee to get it cleaned. The cleaning lady told him that the mattress and sheets were completely soaked through. However I told him I stripped all the beds per his instructions, after arguing for a while he finally admitted I was right and the sheets were stripped. But still charged me the fee and I had insurance so he wasn’t supposed to charge me anyways. Also, if I had stripped the sheets, why would someone have peed on only the mattress? He is a scammer that stole my money.

My husband and I used this property to work remotely from Austin TX for a few weeks. We were both able to work throughout the day with no wifi issues. The neighborhood is nice and quiet with a great walking path at the end of the street which can take you to a nice coffee spot. We happened to stay here during the big winter storm and Jason could not have been more helpful and kind throughout that ordeal! This is conveniently located within short driving range to many restaurants and a great walking neighborhood for dog owners. An overall great stay in Austin.

We rented for a few weeks while waiting to close on a house in Austin and it was the perfect home from home. Everything we needed was there. Will use or recommend again in future.

At first glance its a nice rental. Its clean and tidy. And actually after the first night stay we did not notice anything out of place, but we stayed for several nights. A vast majority of the outlets do not work. The heater does not work. I had read someone else's review about the floors and didn't notice at first. Then a couple of the mats were moved from general foot traffic, and well underneath them are huge in dents/holes in the floors. The shower was extremely hard to figure out how to use and I would not suggest anyone over 6 foot using it. The shower head is fixed extremely low. The fridge wasn't cleaned out. The keys also aren't labeled and it was frustrating every time checking each of the keys for three different locks. One of the major issues we encounter was that the only real bed was concave in the middle. I typically do not even leave reviews, but I wish I would have know all of this before renting this home away. Also I was worried I would not receive my security deposit back due to the all preexisting damages. Fortunately I did receive it 100% back. Also the owner does respond promptly to requests and texts. Though I hope the owner reads this and makes changes, because otherwise it is a lovely little house its just in dire need of tlc.

This place is in a great part of East Austin, just a quick rideshare from downtown. It's small but clean, and you really can't beat the price. A buddy and I stayed comfortably while we were in town to catch a couple of concerts. The owner was responsive and super easy to deal with. Would stay again!

This place a good value for the price. The neighborhood seemed sketchy but was perfectly fine since we took a Fasten (like Uber) everywhere. We enjoyed our stay. Jason was very responsive and helpful when we texted a few questions.

When trying to book a place in Austin, we were finding very average looking places in our budget. Then, I saw Jason's Eastside Oasis and inquired immediately. Jason was very responsive and answered all of my questions quickly. When I arrived, the house was even better. Very private and secure with a cute yard and deck out front. The inside was beautiful with lots of wood and a pretty design. The kitchen, large bedroom and huge back deck were all great. Lots of wonderful amenities too like a full washer and dryer. The home is small and cozy and was perfect for myself and partner. Overall, I felt it was an excellent experience with the home, the host and all for a great price! Thanks for everything, Jason!
