Fabulous Getaway!!

Review Submitted: November 6, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
Thank you, thank you, thank you for a fabulous getaway weekend!! Myself and 5 of my girlfriends spent a weekend at this spectacular, fun, lake house. We had the greatest time and part of it was bc of the set-up that Kathy had all laid out for our stay. Boat rentals, restaurants, directions to grocery store, and the list goes on.... Best spot on the lake, with a cute little beach area built-in with lounge chairs, a sun deck, games for everyone to play. Their lot has plenty of room to play washers, bocce, and grill out on the patio. We had more than enough room to sleep with 3beds and 2sleeper sofas, a great tv entertainment area that has an open view to the lake, priceless. We stayed in and cooked dinner at the house one night- kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Plates, glassware, cutting boards,etc... Well, must I say more. Fabulous!

Great Family Vacation Spot

Review Submitted: October 24, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
My wife & I, son and daughter-in-law, and their two boys ages 4 & 2 just enjoyed the most wonderful vacation at this Austin Lake-front home, Two spacious decks and a beach on the property made a magnificent base from which to see the lake and the towering cliffs on the other side. Canoes were available for our use as were all types of games and toys to keep the boys, and we "older children" entertained. An oversized grassy backyard had more than ample room for throwing baseballs and footballs and playing lawn games. The youngsters had a memorable time feeding swans and ducks and playing on the beach with their sand toys.

After dinner and s'mores cooked on the outdoor grill, we settled in two different living areas to welcome the evening. The sleeping areas were very comfortable and roomy, and we grandparents spoiled ourselves by sleeping later than usual. Major supermarkets and restaurants as well as a variety of Austin entertainment venues were within a few miles drive, but we spent as much time as we could enjoying the property and fresh air and water.

The Owner, could not have been more pleasant and helpful, and made herself available in case there was anything else that we might need. For a group or family vacation, this place is hard to beat. We built some cherished family memories this past week, and can't wait to try it again.

Owner's Response: Thanks Dom, we hope all of our guests enjoy their stay as much you did! We would love to have you and yours again any time! Thanks again for the great review!

What an amazing week long lake vacation we had. This property is located on a great place on Lake Austin! The house was very clean with all amenities needed and very roomy for a two bedroom. Our kids loved the beautiful backyard, beach area and fishing off the dock. We saw ducks every morning and some deer a few nights in the backyard. We spent most of our days skiing, wakeboarding, tubing and having lunch/dinner at Ski Shores and Hula Hut. Golfing is very close by as well. The property owners were great hosts. They made sure our stay was as relaxing and pleasant as possible. If you are looking for a great lake property, then the Lake Austin Beach House is for you!

Great Family Destination

Review Submitted: June 20, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
This house is located in a wonderful spot in Austin. It is close to all that Austin has to offer while still giving you a rest from a busy life.

The house is very large for a 2-2. It comes well equiped with everything you need: pots, pans, dishes, beach towels, movies, games, sand toys, water toys, kayaks and a canoe. The house is also a very short walk (even with young children) to the pool and playground. During our trip in June, the pool had 2 life guards which is always great!

The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. I would highly recommend this house!
