As modern as it is lush, the South Congress Custom House is an ideal setting for a group getaway in a pitch-perfect location. Four vibrant bedrooms sleep 14 guests total—each with either a queen or king bed (and one with a pull-out sofa to sleep two). Best of all? Our coveted South Congress location is a short walk from some of the city’s most popular restaurants and sites.

Park in your private driveway, drop your bags, and:

Find your ideal hangout spot. South Congress Custom House is a 2,600 sq. ft. industrial-chic haven with concrete counters, clean-lined furnishings and custom ironwork details. Outside, find a BBQ-ready space with a fenced yard, charcoal grill, smoker, fire pit, and leafy, serene landscaping.

Can’t decide between indoors or out? You can also have both at once: there’s also a screened side porch for enjoying Southern breezes without the direct sun. This space even has its own wet bar, flat-screen TV, and a nap-worthy sectional sofa.

Easily explore two of Austin's best streets/neighborhoods. The South Congress area (aka SoCo) is undoubtably an Austin favorite—and you're right in the middle of it here. To the other side is South First, another activity-packed thoroughfare. Foodies will appreciate the range of options at their fingertips, from Torchy's Tacos to some of the city's best Thai food at Sway (both are less than a 5-minute walk away). Make a night of it and catch some live music at The Continental Club, just a 10-minute walk.

Admire some Austin originals. The South Congress Custom House is just down the street from the famed Greetings from Austin mural. But you don't even have to go that far for local art. The house itself features wall-sized murals in two of the bedrooms, plus other original art and custom design elements throughout.

Have brunch at home. Wake up refreshed, stay in your PJs, and head to the full, open-concept kitchen. The frosted cabinets are filled with everything you need to cook and eat. Mix up mimosas, slather those pancakes in syrup, and head to the dining table to feast!

Please Note - The primary bedroom contains a queen over-queen bunk bed, totaling two queen beds.

Almost fabulous
With as many people as we had and with various ages, we needed to use the screened in porch every day. It was so dirty that two of us had to sweep, dust and take the cushions out to beat the dirt out of them. There were ants and two people were bit. Otherwise the home was clean inside.

Pleasant stay in Austin
Quiet neighborhood and very pleasant easy access home. Great to walk to restaurants and shops on Congress. Yes, the management company / VRBO should disclose that the home next door is under construction. However, the construction noise was minimal and workers unobtrusive and respectful.

Great home in a great location!
This house was perfect for our group of college friends for a long weekend in Austin. The location is great for accessing all different parts of the city and the house is very comfortable and well-appointed with good common spaces (indoor and outdoor) for hanging out and catching up.

Just the 10 of us
My husband and I stayed here with five18-20 year olds and three 8 year olds and we had a great time. Our kids brought their friends on this trip:) We walked to the famous Home Slice Pizza on South Congress the first night, enjoyed Barton Springs on the second day, and had a boat party on Lady Bird lake the last night. We had plenty of room for all 10 of us, the big kids stayed up stairs and the littles stayed with my husband and I downstairs. The only thing I would ask is that the trees be trimmed over the driveway and the light switches be labeled. Overall the experience was amazing and we made great memories.

April stay
We were there for my daughter's wedding and was good space for those staying there. The lighting was confusing and not all lights were working well. Kitchen could be better appointed. Realizing we were not there to watch TV, the channel selection was poor for how much the house cost. Minor details, overall liked the house.

Beautiful Home
This home was beautiful and there was plenty of space for us to sleep and lounge around. Kitchen was large and well stocked. The property manager was very generous and allowed us early check in and late check out so we had enough time to decorate and clean. There were good instructions for where things were located. When we come back to town, we will try to book this same home.
