Casa Tranquila

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 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.

We had a great stay here during ACL! The location was perfect, just a short 16-minute drive from the venue. The bathrooms were beautiful and felt truly luxurious, and the main living space was roomy with plenty of seating for our group. The backyard was nice, and the pool would be ideal on a hot Texas day. It wasn't heated and it rained during our trip, but we still enjoyed jumping in for a refreshing dip. The BBQ was great too.
The host was also incredibly responsive and gracious when a small issue came up, which made the whole stay stress-free. Highly recommend!

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!
