The Backyard Collective - 6BR 2 Homes, Pool & More

Summary:

Welcome to The Backyard Collective: two private homes, one seamless Austin retreat.



Six bedrooms, a sparkling heated + chilled pool, and lush outdoor living set the tone. Dine beneath the gazebo, grill under the stars, refresh in the outdoor shower, or linger over morning coffee. Keep the fun alive with ping pong and corn hole before heading downtown just minutes away.



Every detail invites you to slow down, connect, and savor Austin living.



The Space:

A private retreat designed for groups who want the luxury of space without losing the intimacy of connection. Two fully equipped homes, layered outdoor living areas, and carefully curated details create the feeling of your own boutique resort in the heart of Austin.





The Front House



Step inside to an open kitchen, dining area, and light-filled living room made for gathering. On the ground floor, you’ll find the primary suite with a king bed and ensuite bath, plus a stylish half bath for convenience. Upstairs are 3 more bedrooms - 2 with queen beds and 1 with twin beds - along with a shared full bath. A full kitchen, washer, and dryer finish out the home.





The Back House



Set just beyond the shared yard, the guest home offers its own full kitchen, living space, washer, dryer, and 2 bedrooms - one queen and one with twin beds - plus a full bath. It’s ideal for extended family or friends who want a bit of privacy while staying close. This home also has it's own washer and dryer, making this home completely self-sufficient.





The Shared Yard



Between the 2 houses, you’ll find the centerpiece of the property: a heated and chilled pool surrounded by lounge chairs, a gazebo with dining table and fans, a large outdoor TV, a gas grill, and a ping pong table. This is where mornings stretch long and evenings carry late.





The Back Garden



Behind the guest house, a second outdoor retreat awaits - complete with another grill, a picnic table, cornhole, and an outdoor shower to refresh after a swim. It’s the more casual side of the home, tucked away for quieter moments.





The Feel



With 2 full kitchens, double laundry setups, and outdoor living that balances energy with calm, The Backyard Collective was made for gatherings that flow with ease.



And for convenience, a Tesla EV charger is available at the front of the property.



Guest Access:

Guests have full access to the entire property.

A Tesla EV charger is also available for your use.



The Neighborhood:

Stay in the heart of one of Austin’s most vibrant and evolving neighborhoods. This spot offers the perfect mix of local culture, laid-back charm, and easy access to everything that makes East Austin special. Walk just a few blocks to some of the city's best coffee shops, food trucks, and hidden-gem restaurants. Whether you're craving Texas barbecue, craft cocktails, or a morning pastry, you're in the right place.



For outdoor lovers, nearby Rosewood Park offers green space, trails, and a community pool. If nightlife is more your scene, you're a short ride from East 6th Street’s buzzing bars and live music venues. Plus, you’re minutes away from Austin’s biggest events like SXSW and ACL, while still having a peaceful retreat to come home to.



Stay where locals love to be—right in the middle of it all, without the crowds.



Getting Around:

Easily get around on foot, by car, bike, taxi, etc.



Other Things to Note:

This home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, so we have a zero-tolerance policy for parties, loud gatherings, or disturbances. Please keep noise at a reasonable level throughout the day, and remember that after 10 PM no sound should carry beyond the property line in line with City of Austin regulations.

Great property with 2 comfortable homes. Loved entertainment area and pool outback. Parking was tight but doable. Great contact and responses from the host. I would definitely rent this property again and recommend it highly.
