subject: Austin, The Perfect Vacation Spot [print this page] Austin is one of the truly modern and beautiful vacation spots in the southwest. Named for pioneer and statesman Stephen F. Austin, the city is the home of the University of Texas and the seat of the Texas State capitol. Beautiful scenery, a fantastic and fascinating history, and one of the nation's largest and most diverse music scenes has earned it the reputation of being the live music capitol of the world. It isn't the kind of town you can experience in a day, and I recommend that anyone traveling there opt for a vacation rental over a typical hotel.
For those staying long-term, a vacation rental with a kitchen is a must. While Austin has some fantastic restaurants and eateries, making your own breakfast at your rental can economize both time and money, especially when traveling with children. If you don't want to cook for yourself, a bed and breakfast is also a great option. You have all of the comforts of home and someone to cook for you while getting ready for your day around the town. In Austin, it's just easier to have breakfast at home.
Austin has the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor venues, and vacation rentals take full advantage of that situation. You can be right in the heart of the city, and still surrounded by greenery. Whether it's hiking trails, a morning of golf, or some time by the lake before heading off to a dinner at a live club, vacation rentals in Austin provide you with every option.
When considering vacation rentals in the Austin area, you'll need to ask yourself a few questions. How long do you intend to stay? Will you traveling with family? Are pets coming along on the trip? Do you want relative isolation, or will you require Internet access? Do you want easy access to downtown venues, or is something in the countryside more to your liking? Whatever the case may be, you'll be able to find the right vacation accommodations in Austin. The rental should also come with recommendations for events on the property and in the area, so choosing the right place to stay may also solve most of your planning concerns.
Whatever the reason, whatever the season, Austin is a fantastic vacation spot, and with the right combination of event planning, timing, and the perfect vacation accommodation to fit your experience, your visit will be something that you cherish for years.
