We're happy to help you determine the best room configuration for your group before booking.

One of Austin's Best Locations:
Franklin BBQ — 4-minute walk
UT Stadium + Moody Center — ~15-minute walk

East Austin restaurants + nightlife — minutes away
You can leave the car parked for much of your stay and easily explore some of Austin's best food, entertainment, and attractions.

Great for More Than Just a Weekend

While Capitol Villa is a favorite for fall and spring Austin weekends, the house works beautifully for longer or mid-week stays, too.

Mid-week escapes:
A great option for corporate off-sites, team retreats, remote work, or a few extra days in Austin before or after a weekend trip.

Winter stays:
Austin's relatively mild winters mean you can still enjoy outdoor dining, sightseeing, and the backyard — with the heated pool, hot tub, and fire pit making cool evenings especially inviting.

UT events:
Walk to campus, the stadium, and Moody Center, then come home to your own private resort.

We had a great 9-person bachelor party stay at Capital Villa and would absolutely consider coming back. The house is spacious, clean, and very well set up for larger groups, with plenty of room to spread out while still feeling comfortable and connected. The location was great: close enough to downtown and Austin hotspots to make getting around easy, but still in a quieter neighborhood setting. Walking to Franklin BBQ was amazing, as well as to Arbor Food Truck Park, Nickel City and Radio for coffee.The outdoor space was a big highlight for our group, especially the pool/spa area and overall backyard setup. The house was also well stocked and thoughtfully designed for entertaining and group stays.Communication with Brendan was smooth throughout the process, and check-in/check-out was straightforward.Overall, a really enjoyable Austin stay and a great option for groups visiting the city.

The house is great -- perfect layout and lots of space for everyone and excellent location. And Brendan was always available for questions with immediately kind and helpful replies and solutions. Very impressive!! The pool was less inviting than pictured as it had a cleaning device floating in it and the hot tub was only hot if we planned several hours in advance. But overall, I highly recommend the house and yard and lovely central neighborhood. This was a perfect place to host our family for a wedding weekend!
