About the home

Warm oak and cool concrete run through the whole home, met by clay and terracotta tones and clean, minimalist lines. The backyard is the reason to book it: a swimming pool with teak loungers, a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs, a covered dining table for 8, a BBQ, disc golf, ping pong and cornhole. A game room painted deep green holds a leather topped poker table, foosball and darts, with glass doors opening straight to the pool. String lights run the length of the back fence, so the evening does not have to end when the sun does.

The space

Upstairs, the primary suite holds a king bed, a private desk and a walk in closet. Its bathroom is wrapped floor to ceiling in emerald green tile, with brass fixtures. A queen bedroom leans into rust: terracotta lamps, a rust striped jute rug, a black dresser with brass pulls. A third bedroom has a full bed in dusty blue and tan, a mid century walnut dresser and open pine shelving, and a glass paned door onto its own private patio. A second full bathroom, wrapped in bold coral tile, rounds out the home.

The main living area is anchored by a sectional and a rotating set of folk art prints, a cowboy in a wide brimmed hat, a rider beneath the moon. The kitchen carries the same materials: warm oak cabinetry, a waterfall quartz island, black dome pendants overhead. A round dining table nearby seats 6, set just behind a slatted wood room divider that gives the space definition without closing it off.

The game room is painted a deep, moody green. A leather topped poker table anchors one corner, with foosball, darts and a pair of curved rust ottomans. A queen sleeper sofa makes it a fourth sleeping space when you need one. There is a TV, and glass doors lead straight out to the pool.

Out back, a swimming pool anchors the yard, framed by a run of teak loungers and 2 oversized scalloped umbrellas. A fire pit sits ringed with Adirondack chairs. In between there is a covered dining table for 8, a proper BBQ, disc golf, ping pong and cornhole. String lights run the length of the back fence.

A few notes

This is a quiet residential neighborhood, so no parties, loud gatherings or disturbances. Keep noise reasonable through the day, and after 10pm no sound should carry beyond the property line. Those are City of Austin regulations.

No smoking anywhere on the property. Children need an adult with them at the pool.

Prior to arrival, you’ll receive a secure check-in link through our guest app, including a short-term rental agreement that outlines the rules and expectations already disclosed in this listing. Any questions? We’re happy to help.

Where you'll be

Address shared after booking

The neighborhood

Holly, close to the lake.

Casa Tranquila sits in the leafy Holly neighborhood, where quiet residential streets meet some of the best food, music and nightlife in Austin. Lady Bird Lake and the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail are close by, used by locals for morning runs, walks, paddleboarding and kayaking with the skyline in view.

Rainey Street, with its bungalow bars, patios and restaurants, is a short ride. East Austin restaurants and cafes are nearby: Launderette, Kemuri Tatsu-Ya, Justine's Brasserie and Joe's Bakery, plus Desnudo Coffee and Figure 8 Coffee for coffee. Downtown, the Austin Convention Center and many of the city's live music venues are a short drive.

Excellent stay! The place truly felt like a home rather than an Airbnb. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, the amenities were excellent, and it would be a great choice for families. The rooms were comfortable, the beds were great, and we honestly didn’t want to leave.
The location was also fantastic—close to plenty of restaurants, bars, and things to do. Our host was extremely responsive and made everything easy from start to finish. This is one of those places you could move right into and immediately feel at home. We would absolutely stay here again!

The place was perfect for our family. We enjoyed many of the restaurants on the east side, and the proximity to the Moody Center and DKR was great. The pool was well shaded on a hot day.

Our stay was amazing! The host was really accommodating and let us check in a little early. They also provided clear instructions and were extremely quick to respond when we had questions. I would recommend staying here.

We had a great stay in Austin! The location was fantastic—walkable to so many great restaurants and the Holly Shores trails, which was a huge plus for us. The exterior of the house (front) was a little deceiving and overgrown however once inside, we were pleasantly surprised. It was clean, well decorated, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The linens looked clean and the master bedroom bed was very comfortable.
The House host was extremely helpful. Gave us recommendations and information about local spots. We’d definitely stay here again!

Great stay, the house is very comfortable and close to a lot of things to do around Austin. Would definitely stay again for the outside area, comfortable rooms and large kitchen. Thanks for a great experience!
