The Catalina Guesthouse is a modern, spacious, and bright 2 bedroom house with plenty of outdoor space that backs up to a beautiful greenbelt area to enjoy the Austin weather. Our guesthouse was just completed in 2021 and is now ready to welcome you to Austin! We are located in a quiet neighborhood in close proximity (10-15 minutes or less) to many of the iconic Austin attractions. My husband and I live in the main house with our two dogs, Teddy and Rupert.

Good to know

The living and kitchen area are filled with an abundance of natural light along with the view of the large lower deck and backyard space. The large sectional couch is the perfect size for up to six people to sit comfortably on to enjoy watching the smart TV or playing games. We also provide a comfortable queen-sized air mattress with bedding for an added sleeping arrangement for this area. There is a half bathroom accessible from the living area. Along the kitchen island, there are four spots for sitting and eating. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need including pots, pans, plates, silverware, glasses, coffee mugs, and other items. Please inquire if you have any questions! We have also left some dog treats in the kitchen area if you are interested in becoming Teddy and Rupert’s new best friends! You can access the outdoor deck from the living and kitchen area as well. This large wrap-around deck features an outdoor dining table for up to 6 people. When you walk down the steps you will find the grill as well as cornhole boards you can set up to play in the rocked landscaped area. The downstairs bedroom has a comfortable king bed, smart TV, white noise machine, dresser, full-length mirror, and its own bathroom.

We are located in a quiet neighborhood in close proximity (10-15 minutes or less when driving) to many of the iconic Austin attractions such as SoCo (South Congress), the Austin Convention Center, 6th Street, Rainey Street, The University of Texas, the airport, and several South Austin breweries and local eats.

Guest Access

We do not need to meet you for you to get into the guesthouse and you’re welcome to arrive as late as you need to. You can follow the stepping stones along the right side of the main house to the front of the guesthouse. I will message you a code to unlock the front door smart lock using the keypad. That code will be good for the length of your stay.

Allison’s place was as she described. The home was very clean and beautiful. The pool and hot tub were great. We enjoyed playing in the pool for hours. Plenty of pool toys and even a basketball goal. I would definitely stay here again. Although it is a shared space with the main house, it still felt private. We didn’t see them at all.

Allison’s place was a great oasis for our group of girls! Everything was so clean and calm, it was the perfect environment to relax and enjoy time together. I definitely recommend the stay!

The home was beautiful and very clean. The bedding and linens were great quality. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you could need (including bandaids). The location was ideal for many attractions. The pool was pristine. My family loved the home. Allison was very responsive and friendly.

We loved our stay here! Allison and Cody were helpful in answering all our questions and provided a list of things to do for the holiday weekend. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms were clean, and kitchen had everything we needed. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, and was easy to get in and out of. The pictures really don’t do this place justice, and we’ll certainly be back next time we’re in town.

Me and my boyfriend LOVED our stay at the Catalina Guesthouse. The home was so beautiful, very clean and organized. Allison and her husband were great hosts as well, answered all our questions and responded very quickly. I can’t express enough how much we enjoyed our stay here and we highly recommend this home. Teddy and Rupert were also the cutest and friendly pups, we loved meeting them!

What an AWESOME place! My boys (11, 8, 5) wanted to move in permanently. We really enjoyed the pool and it was a perfect place for our family of 4. Allison was a great host and provided lots of excellent recommendations. The house was better than expected, super clean, and we would definitely be back!

We loved our vacation here! The space was beautiful, squeaky clean, and close to all the things we wanted to do. LOVED the pool and loved playing fetch with the owner’s dogs! We will definitely be back. For sure a 10 out of 10 stay.

If I could give Allison's Airbnb more than 5 stars, I would! Hands down the BEST Airbnb I have stayed in. The guesthouse was absolutely perfect for me and my 2 boys...it lacked absolutely nothing. The layout, the design, the amazing pool, the peaceful and serene views from the floor to ceiling windows in the living/kitchen area, the pleasant and calming scent throughout the house, and the attention to detail was unlike anything I have experienced. And Teddy and Rupert... SO cute! 🐶🐶 The beds were SO comfortable, I actually was sad at the thought of having to return home to sleep in my own bed. 😉 I absolutely recommend this and would stay here again if given the opportunity. WELL done Allison!! 🙌

There wasn’t anything that I’d asked for that wasn’t delivered! Extremely peaceful and beautiful. Amenities were perfect. I’d love to stay here again! We worth the price and then some.

Awesome place to stay not far from downtown Austin and has a beautiful pool. Two bedrooms with separate bathrooms, so can be shared even if not traveling as family. Very clean and has all the necessities for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!
