Get out on the water in one of the two Kayaks provided, bring your own boat or rent one for a day or two. Launch your boat conveniently at the private ramp at the Community Park just 1 minute away. Premium Mooring Whips provided for your boat on the lower deck right by the sandy beach and shallow swim area for easy enjoyment. Access and use of the lakefront Community Park available for Vacation Rental Guests includes 25 meter pool, baby pool (seasonal) basketball and volleyball courts, horse shoe pit, playscape and picnic tables with charcoal grills.
This is a place for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts as well. Located off of Bee Caves Road (2244) between Capital of Texas Hwy.(360) and 71 on the 'close in' side of the lake. Very close to One World Theater, The Backyard - Outdoor Music Amphitheatre, and brand new Austin Galleria Mall and Shops yet only about 20 minutes from 6th Street, down town and all that the 'Live Music Capital of the World' has to offer.
Lake Austin Spa Resort, recently rated the top spa in the country by Conde' Nast, is just a short boat ride away for a massage or other deluxe spa treatment of your choice. Or you can go in your boat to several excellent places to eat on the lake like County Line Barbeque, Hula Hut Mexican Food and Ski Shores Hamburgers which often has live music as well.
Lake Austin is great for kayaking, tubing, wake boarding early morning water skiing and year round fishing. Kids (and adults!) will enjoy the sandy beach and shallow swim area for hours on end. Many Bass and Perch have been caught right off the dock which is also frequented by a family of swans that come very close to eat torn pieces of bread tossed their way.
Big turtles come into the cool shade to nest and cross back and forth from the yard to the water. At least one family of ducks usually nests in the elephant ear plants near the swim area and can be seen coming and going with little ones. Fireflies flash at night and there are usually very few (if any) mosquitoes due to the cool breeze that constantly blows off of the water keeping the air several degrees cooler than other areas.
There are 3 boat slips on the property. One is used by the owner; the other 2 are leased long-term to respectful, courteous boat slip tenants who occasionally access their boats by using a dedicated pathway along the perimeter of the property. Vacation Rental guests may secure their boat using our Cabala's 12' Premium Mooring Whips. The mooring whips are designed to secure one boat alongside the dock (up to 23 feet or 5,000 lbs.) Only one boat is allowed.
Very near Barton Creek Country Club and Fazio Golf Courses, too.
