Notes from the host
Two House Corner Compound
Summary:
If 15 beds across two connected homes isn’t enough, you’ve got seriously popular friends! Rent both houses and keep the crew together—but still give everyone their own space. Kids in one, parents in the other, girls vs. boys, or just pick teams like grade school (I always got picked last ). No matter the strategy, both @urbanstay•us homes are outrageously fun—everyone wins!
The Space:
Home Features:
- 15-Bed, Two-Home Compound – Perfect for big groups
- Connected Backyards – Open the gate for more space
- Complimentary gift basket for 4+ night stays
- Two Fire Pits & BBQ – Great for outdoor fun
- Cornhole & Games – Room to play
- 6-Min Walk to Rainey Street – Bars, music, nightlife
- Close to Top Eats – Taco trucks & restaurants nearby
- Modern & Stylish – Fun, comfortable stay
Why choose one when you can have both? This two-home setup lets your group stay together—but still have your own space when you need it. Open the gate to connect the backyards and you’ve got room for a cornhole tournament, two fire pits for s’mores taste-tests, and a BBQ for grilling up a feast.
When you’re ready to explore, a 6-minute walk lands you on Rainey Street, Austin’s hotspot for live music, rooftop hangouts, and late-night fun. Or head east and discover taco trucks and eateries so good, you’ll want to try them all (guilty as charged).
Perfect for families, friends, or even that one friend-of-a-friend you’re not sure about (maybe put them in the other house, just in case ). However you mix it, this space is your weekend wonderland—equal parts relaxation and adventure.
Book your stay with @urbanstay•us and experience Austin the unforgettable way!
