About Hank Townsend

I am in the home restoration / design business. I have enjoyed creating a Tuscan feel to the villa. It meshes well with the ambiance of The Island. I have other properties for vacation rental including a 1 bedroom villa on The Island and a beautiful 2 bedroom Costa Rican villa in Playa Grande, Costa Rica. Please let me know if you have interest in learning more about any of these properties. Thanks, Hank

Hank Townsend purchased this villa in 2005
Why Hank Townsend chose Lago Vista

The Island always makes you feel like you are on vacation and a thousand miles a way. This is a unique, magical place to stay.

After searching for a week, we went ahead and booked this "Tuscan Villa" on Lake Travis. Immediately after we entered our rental condominium, we know IT IS THE ONE.

The living room, both the bedrooms and kitchen were very well decorated. The view of Lake Travis from inside the condo was great and most importantly the amenities in heated pool, swimming pool were all a bonus given November weather in Austin.

Hank was always available to assist over the phone whenever we had any questions regarding the condo.

Lovely place, great owner and affordable price..... what more do we need to plan a vacation!!

Overall, we had a great experience and would love to visit again.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the complimentary review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to having you stay in our vacation home again very soon. Hank

When we first drove up to the property, we were blown away by how nice it was. Then, when we got to our home for the weekend we couldn't stop talking about it- how beautiful the furniture and decorations were and how great the set-up was for a fun getaway weekend :) And not to mention- Hank was fantastic at getting us all situated with everything we needed. Thanks for sharing your home with us Hank!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the glowing review. I hope to have you stay in the villa again soon. Hank

Good customer service. Over all the villa was very comfortable, convenient, and very clean. It was in a great area and close to most everything.

The only negative thing I have to say about the villa is the colors could be brighter but that's my own personal preference. Their could be better lighting in the Master bathroom. Basically you provided pretty much everything. We enjoyed out stay and hope to stay again next year. I certainly would recommend your property to others.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the great review. Hope to have you back again soon. Hank

We loved our stay at the beautiful Villa, it was even better than what the pictures show it to be. The only down side was that there was no TV in the master bedroom. We are big night time tv watchers, especially when the Rangers are playing ;) The pool and lake view was awesome. We would recommend this place in a heartbeat!!!! Hank was very easy to work with as well.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the wonderful review. We have installed a flat screen T.V. in the master bedroom now. Initially, we didn't want to take away from the romantic ambience of the master. European philosophy is that the bedroom is for love and sleep! However, resulting from a few continued suggestions, we added the TV to the bedroom. Saludos! Hank

Beautiful Tuscan Villa -- Italy in Texas style

5 of 5
Submitted: January 10, 2012 Stayed: December 2011
My family rented this luxury Villa, "Texas in an Italian style," for a week over Christmas, and we loved it! Hank was a gracious host, very timely with answers.

The Tuscan Villa's plush sofa and chair in the living room and the huge master bed, with jacuzzi in the huge bathroom, and great view of Lake Travis from both of the big living room and bedroom windows made it a delightful stay for all of us.

The paintings and wall hangings, along with the wood cabinets and ceiling beams, gave it a real Italian Renaissance feel. While it was cool outside, we enjoyed real comfort inside the villa (with a very quiet and gentle heat system). The huge community pool, with a big powered hot tub as well as a hot dry sauna (and adjacent exercise room overlooking the lake, as well as a treatment spa) made us feel like "the Texas Coast in Spring."

The two parking spaces close to the elevator from ground to the first floor location was convenient (with two unloading spaces and a cart by the elevator).

The lake level was low, given the year-long drought, so it was hard to get down to the water over the limestone rocks to fish -- but I did catch several bass there. The kitchen was beautiful, with lots of electronics, and stone hearth. The TV was enormous and very clear. No complaints at all -- we will certainly rent it again.
Owner's Response: Alan, thanks so much for the wonderful review. We will continue to add interesting architectural features and unique appointments to the Tuscan Villa. I look forward to having you and your family back again. Thanks for taking the time to write the review! Sincerely, Hank.

Better than expected!!!!

We were at this delightful villa for two nights in late October. The pictures online do not do it justice. The layout is absolutely beautiful. All of the appliances are modern and much better than I would expect in a rental. The patio was large and had a perfect view of the pool. The master bathroom was my favorite place equipped with a jacuzzi tub and beautiful decor and candles galore. The kitchen was quaint but fully equipped. The furniture was not only beautiful, but extremely comfortable. The master bed was extremely soft, so we preferred the guest bed because of back issues. The resort was really pretty. The water levels were extremely low but the lake was still enchanting as was the waterfall on the property. We visited the Flat Creek Winery where we had a tasting. Our hostess, Sharron was the sweetest gal and very knowledgable about the wines. The wines were very reasonable and we took home two bottles for less than $40. We also visited the Oasis restaurant. The views at sunset were breathtking but the very young, playfull, non-attentive staff took away from the experience. There were less than 30 people in a restaurant that could easily seat 300, but the service was still poor. We had lunch at a local mexican-food restaurant, Maria's Bar and Grill. The service and the food were great. I booked services at the spa on the resort. I booked a body scrub, body wrap, and massage. The room was very cold, as was the mud and the scrub. I was very uncomfortable during both, but the massage made up for it. Willow's specialty is definitely massage. I have had many, but none with as much skill and precision. Not the average fufu massage, but a real, therapeutic, walk away renewed massage. We took advantage of the gym and the indoor hot-tub. Both were nice, but there were no towels available for use at the indoor pool and hot-tub so be sure to bring your own. I was not impressed with the lady working in the gym area. I knocked on her closed door to ask about towels. She yelled through the door to please just leave her alone before opening it. I was a little taken aback by that. She was not very friendly. I had the misfortune of dealing with her again when I returned for my massage, and she presented herself the same. I would definitely recomend the villa to anyone. We were alone, but we have already decided that we are returning with the children. Hank provided easy instructions and directions. We had everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful villa. We stayed here from the 24th till the 30th of August.
Time went by way too fast as it was so relaxing. The view from the balcony is amazing. We loved spending
time at the outdoor pools. Our 2 year old daughter wanted to go outside every evening to go and see all the deer
that walk around early in the evening. It's paradise at Lake Travis. Compliments for the
owners because the condo is really nicely decorated (loved the master bathroom...) Thank you for sharing
this gorgeous place with us. Best regards The Zoll Family from the Netherlands.

Best regards Brian Zoll
