About the home

A home built around games and 2 separate backyards. One living room has a pool table, a poker table and a shuffleboard. The other has arcade cabinets with Big Buck Hunter and Pac-Man. The first backyard is an outdoor kitchen with a grill, a dining table and a fire pit; the second has the pool, a ping pong table, another fire pit and an outdoor TV. Downtown and Zilker are both close.

Full description

The space

There are 2 living rooms. The first is the game room in spirit: a pool table, a poker table, a shuffleboard and a big-screen TV. The second is for lounging, with 2 couches, another big TV and arcade corners with Big Buck Hunter and Pac-Man.

4 bedrooms hold 5 queen beds, so no one ends up on a couch. There are 2 travel cribs for small children. 3.5 bathrooms keep the mornings moving.

The kitchen is fully stocked and built for cooking for a crowd. There are 2 dining rooms, one for family-style meals and one with a record player and a collection of vinyl.

The home has 2 backyards. The first has a full outdoor kitchen with a grill, a mini fridge and a sink, an outdoor TV, a dining table and a fire pit. The second has a huge private pool, a ping pong table, a second outdoor TV and another fire pit.

Guest access

The whole property is yours, both backyards, all the living spaces and every bedroom and bathroom. The garage stays locked.

A few notes

This is a quiet residential neighborhood, so no parties or loud gatherings, and nothing audible past the property line after 10pm. Those are City of Austin rules and we enforce them.

No smoking anywhere on the property. No pets. 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.

The neighborhood

A walkable corner of Tarrytown.

Poolside Funhouse is in Tarrytown, a safe and walkable neighborhood west of downtown. Lady Bird Lake is close by, a no-wake stretch where paddleboards and kayaks are available to rent, and Lake Austin is close too, with a boat launch just down the street past Hula Hut. Parks, tennis courts, a public golf course, bike paths and hiking trails are all nearby, including Laguna Gloria, an outdoor modern art museum, and Mayfield Nature Preserve, which is free and has peacocks roaming and koi ponds.

The grocery stores here are the good ones: Central Market, with its fresh fish and meat counters, a play area for kids and live music on Thursdays, the flagship Whole Foods, and a new HEB with a barbecue shop, a bar and a pizza shop, a short walk away. For dinner there's Hula Hut, Polvos, Bartlett's, Eddie V's, Curra's, Star of India and Uchiko. Stubb's and the ACL theater are the live music venues, and downtown is a short ride, which makes SXSW and ACL easy without ever getting on the interstate. South Congress and its shopping and dining are a short drive.

    The house was in a great spot, right in the heart of Terrytown. We were a little nervous being on a corner lot but there really was not much noise at all from the street traffic. The house was spacious and had enough room for everyone along with several hangout areas. We did not utilize the outdoor space as it was raining the whole weekend but it looked like it would be great with good weather. The host was responsive and had very clear instructions for any obvious things like check in, wifi, etc

    Fabulous. Better than the photos. There are SO many things to play with, and best of all, you’re Interacting with your friends/family. What a concept! And maybe even better is some of the cheeky, elegant kitsch that brings a great vibe.

    Such good communication and very quick response time. We were a very happy crew!

    Very versatile property-games inside (pool table a hit with the family). Large TV s for watching our favorite sports. Pool big and nice to be in. Has everything anyone could ask for to enjoy. Great location to get to downtown easily or out to specialty restaurants. Grocery store just down the street. Spacious yard. Something for everyone.There are some “quirks” -floor levels change every door so watch your step.
