Our Story
Austin hospitality, without the platform fees.
Nestly started with a simple idea: Austin visitors deserve a better booking experience. As short-term rental managers who call Austin home, we saw firsthand how platform fees and impersonal listings made travel more expensive and less personal than it needed to be.
We manage a curated collection of homes across Austin's best neighborhoods — from the live music scene of South Congress to the creative energy of East Austin. Every property is personally vetted, professionally maintained, and designed to feel like a home away from home.
By booking directly with us, you skip the middleman fees, get direct access to your host, and support a local Austin business. We handle everything — from spotless linens to local recommendations — so you can focus on enjoying your stay.
