The Space:
Welcome to The Grove by Portoro, where comfort and space meet in perfect harmony. This charming retreat features three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two inviting TV areas, ensuring ample room for everyone to relax and enjoy their time together.
On the ground floor, you'll discover an open-concept living area designed for ultimate comfort. Sink into the plush sectional sofa and enjoy your favorite shows on the smart TV. Adjacent to the living area, the kitchen boasts a convenient island for casual meals and socializing.
The ground floor also houses the primary bedroom, a tranquil haven with a luxurious king bed and an en suite bathroom. This spacious bathroom includes a large dressing area, a generous walk-in shower with a bench, and a separate toilet room for added privacy.
As you make your way upstairs, you'll find a half guest bathroom conveniently located at the base of the stairs. The second floor unfolds into a generous open loft area, perfect for both relaxation and play. This versatile space features a smart TV, a large upscale bean bag chair, a twin daybed with a pullout trundle, and a desk ideal for working or gaming.
Continuing on, you'll encounter a bedroom with a set of bunk beds—twin over double—ideal for kids and adults alike. Nearby, another full bathroom is equipped with a shower-tub combination.
The final bedroom on this level offers a comfortable queen bed, a full-length mirror, and windows that overlook the serene backyard.
While The Grove offers so much to enjoy, don’t miss the chance to explore the vibrant city of Austin! Here are some recommendations to get you started on your adventure.
Restaurants:
Meanwhile Brewing: Meanwhile offers great beer in good company and is perfect for groups who need some variety because there are several gourmet food trucks onsite. There's a big playscape for the kids, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and just a fun vibe.
Phoebe's Diner - Oltorf: Known for serving brunch and comfort food like biscuits, fried chicken and grits, pancakes, deep fried French toast, and sandwiches, there's no way you won't leave happy.
Rose's Kitchen: A husband and wife duo offering Thai fusion cuisine and warm hospitality. A dining oasis where guests can escape the hustle and bustle and immerse themselves in a world of flavor and ambiance.
Bars:
Moontower Saloon: Discover the essence of South Austin's vibrant spirit at Moontower Saloon, a beloved neighborhood gem renowned for its authentic atmosphere and laid-back charm. Nestled within a grove of Live Oak Trees, this bar offers a welcoming haven where locals and visitors alike gather to unwind and create lasting memories.
Manchaca Springs Saloon: If you've ever wondered what it would be like to knock back a few cold ones in an outdoor antique shop, Manchaca Springs Saloon is the right place for you. It's weird and unpretentious, capturing the fabled spirit of Old Austin.
Attractions:
Cathedral of Junk: Located in the back yard of the artist who created it, the Cathedral of Junk is a living sculpture — meaning it is always in flux as its creator, owner and curator, Vince, adds new features and edits others out. It's a curious place to explore, but don't forget to call ahead to schedule your tour.
Circuit of the Americas: Whether you are going to a concert, a car race, or if you want to race at COTA Karting, this is a great venue to visit.
