When you book direct, you're talking to Kyle and Desiree — the actual people taking care of your stay. Faster responses, early check-in when available, and a host who's genuinely invested in making your trip great.

Your Hosts

Hi! We’re Kyle and Desiree — your hosts at Big Fun Stays TX. We’re Austin locals, parents of two young kids, and travelers who believe the best memories are made together. We’ve personally selected and designed each of our homes to be places where families and friends can relax, have fun, and make lasting memories. We live just minutes from our Austin properties and spend plenty of time at Canyon Lake, so we know the areas and our homes firsthand. We’ve hosted hundreds of guests and personally manage every stay. We’re here when you need us and out of the way when you don’t — with one simple goal: making your group’s stay as fun, easy, and memorable as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your homes good for bachelor and bachelorette parties?

Yes! Our Austin homes are designed with group trips in mind and regularly host bachelor and bachelorette weekends, birthday trips, reunions, and groups of friends. With spacious gathering areas, pools, hot tubs, games, and plenty of room to spread out, they’re built for spending the weekend together—not splitting your group between hotel rooms.

Are your homes family-friendly?

Absolutely. As parents ourselves, we’ve designed our homes to work just as well for family trips and reunions as they do for groups of friends. Our properties offer plenty of sleeping space, large gathering areas, kitchens, outdoor spaces, games, and amenities that make traveling with a group easier.

Which property is best for my group?

ATX Oasis is ideal for groups looking for a resort-style Austin stay with a pool, hot tub, outdoor entertainment, and plenty of space to hang out together. Double Down ATX gives your group two homes on one property—great for larger groups that want to stay together while still having room to spread out. Turkey Cove Hangout is our Canyon Lake getaway, perfect for family reunions, lake weekends, and group escapes from the city.

What amenities are provided in the rental?

Our homes are built for group trips, with fully equipped kitchens, high-speed Wi-Fi, plenty of gathering space, games, and outdoor entertainment. Our Austin homes feature private pools and hot tubs, while Turkey Cove Hangout offers direct Canyon Lake access with a swimming cove in the back and a public dock nextdoor. Check each property page for the full amenity list.

How large of a group can you accommodate?

Our homes are specifically designed for larger groups, with multiple bedrooms, flexible sleeping arrangements, and large common areas. Capacity varies by property, so check each home's listing for exact sleeping arrangements and maximum occupancy.

Can we celebrate at the house?

Definitely—celebrations are a big part of what Big Fun Stays is about. We regularly host bachelor and bachelorette trips, birthdays, family reunions, and other group getaways. We just ask that guests respect our homes, neighbors, occupancy limits, and quiet hours. Large events or parties with people who aren't registered guests are not permitted.

Where are your vacation rentals located?

Big Fun Stays has three properties across two Texas destinations. Two are in Austin, TX — The ATX Oasis is in the Tarrytown neighborhood, minutes from downtown, Rainey Street, SoCo, and 6th Street. Double Down ATX is in Riverside/East Austin, minutes from Rainey Street, 6th street, the Eastside and Downtown. The third is at Canyon Lake, TX, about an hour southwest of Austin — right on the water with a cove in the back and next to a public boat ramp. All three properties sleep 14–16 guests. Book any of them directly at bigfunstays.com and skip the Airbnb fees.
