Sofa bed not functional

Location is fantastic and if you only need 2 bedrooms I’m sure it’s fine although there were only enough towels for 4. There were no extra sheets which we did not discover until 9pm when we tried to make up the sofa bed. We asked for sheets to be brought and after an hour were told it was too late and it wouldn’t be until the next day. Thus, my children had to sleep on a mattress (very thin couch mattress that made us get an air mattress for the next day)with no sheets. Additionally, there was dog poop all over the yard that we discovered when our child stepped in it. We were also greeted by a roach when we walked in. When we asked for a credit we were eventually given $20 off an over 2k bill for 4 nights. (We used one night on the front end just to be able to check in early enough to enjoy the day, we only stared three nights). I have yet to see the $20, as insulting as that is to make up for sleeping without sheets. We were clear about how many people were staying, it was clear we would be using the sofa bed. However, the location really is the best, just be aware to check linens and towels and yard early enough to get what you need.

Comfortable Lakeside House

Three friends and I had a delightful weekend beside Lake Austin…..comfortable outdoor spaces. We really enjoyed sipping coffee and cocktails overlooking the Lake. The home was clean and well appointed. Close to restaurants. Definitely would plan another stay!!!!

Perfect spot for relaxation

The home was absolutely perfect for us. Great spot right on the river with tons of water sport equipment. We were very comfortable in a lovely neighborhood where every day we were visited by a herd of deer that arent bothered by people. Would 100 percent recommend staying here.

Check in is at 4pm, refused to let us check in 30 min early so we had to sit in the driveway and wait (which is fine, no big deal). Check out is at 10am and at 10:15 while I was at the boat ramp 3 doors down pulling my boat out, the owner came over and made my 80 year old grandmother and 18 month old baby stand in the driveway to wait for me…

Beautiful, Fun, Clean, Relaxing Stay right on Lake Austin

What a wonderful stay we had!! It was perfect. It was spacious for two couples to stay the weekend. There were all the dishes and utensils you would need. We did pack foil. There was a lovely guest book of things to do and instructions. The house was easy to locate and lots of parking. The dock and lily pad were so much fun to hang out on that we didn't get to using the kayaks, canoe, SUP, or floats, but maybe next time! We used the grill which worked great and ate every meal outside because it was so lovely even in the July heat. We went over a holiday weekend so the lake was quite busy which can cause quite a few larger waves but in the morning and evening it was calmer. Check out time was 10am which is a little earlier for us as we wish we could use the morning to enjoy with coffee instead of packing up, but we understand the need for clean up time. Check out was easy, they do not request a lot from you as many rental properties may. Vacasa was easy to contact with questions and quick to respond. Everything was clean when we arrived. THANK YOU for this beautiful easy stay!! Would definitely recommend to anyone and hope to stay again sometime in the future.

Had a disappointing experience

The good: The house was on the water and had a well/stocked kitchen and plenty of beds for a large group. The master bed was comfy. We loved the neighborhood too. The bad: Unfortunately the lawn guys disturbed us two different times. Once they awoke me from a nap mowing outside the room. Once they leaf blowed the patio when we were trying to have private time on the couch in our pjs! There was also continuous construction noise from right across from the house. So, noise was a huge issue. The decor was distasteful. It included two side tables in the shape of a person with private parts. Very strange choice for a family rental. Lastly, I left an irreplaceable item. I called to retrieve it around 30 mins after we left. I couldn’t get an answer because they kept giving me the runaround. They said they had to “Ask their local team” and that the house code had changed. They told me that continuously for 3 days. Finally 3-4 days later someone told me I could come back, use the original code, and get it from the rental. I followed their directions and the item was nowhere to be found. It was in a private locked closet but nobody would come to the property to give it to me. Nobody would even ship it back as they offered. It was thrown away. I wasted a week trying to track it down and 1.5 hours of driving to retrieve it. The management is terrible!! It would be a decent rental with different management.

Get Away in Austin

Beautiful property on the Colorado River. It was a cozy place for a weekend getaway for our anniversary. Spent most of our time enjoying the outdoor space, relaxing on the river. Multiple hiking trails about 30 mins away on the other side of the river. Ski Shores Cafe is a must for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Property managers and owner were fantastic. My only complaint is minor, the Wi-Fi was spotty at times, which forced me to stay off my laptop and ignore work emails, thankfully.......if you're booking this place for the internet connection, you're missing the point.

Lakefront home in Austin with great view!

The home is right on the water with great views. It is such a peaceful setting. We were there during winter and I can see how this would be a great Spring, summer and early fall destination because you would really utilize the lake. Our daughter lives close by and her and her boyfriend took us out for a boat cruise and picked us up right in front of the home which was great. Lake Austin is beautiful. The home itself is comfortable and the bed in the primary bedroom was very comfortable. I would say it needs some help in the furnishings department as the interior furniture and exterior for that are pretty dated and not comfortable. There is no dining/kitchen table, just 3 barstools so that pretty much dictated that we did no cooling except for coffee in the morning. There were a few other items that were a bit annoying but that could just be lack of the owner knowing and they weren't a deal breaker. All in all it was a nice place with a great location. We went to Civil Goat every morning for coffee/breakfast and we loved Patritzies the Italian place right nearby as well. We took a walk in Commons (nature preserve area that is so beautiful, with trails in the trees and along the water.) Absolutely a must if you're staying in the area. Neighborhood walks were also great. We stayed out here because our daughters lives a few streets away but this is about a 20-25 minute drive into downtown Austin. For us, it was the perfect location and for anyone wanting a change of scenery.

Cosy house at the lake

We enjoyed the vacation very much. The location of the house directly on Lake Austin is excellent. We also liked very much that you can use the canoe and the paddle board. The area is quiet, the equipment of the house very good. Everything very clean and uncomplicated. We can really recommend it.

Great place to stay!

Very good communication all around. Very easy checkout process. They don't make you wash everything and do all of the cleaning before leaving like some do. The house was very clean when we arrived. We loved that there was every appliance, full kitchen, and stocked bathroom so we didn't need to go put and buy every little thing! The views were amazing!!Great place to stay all around!

Great location, comfortable for small family

Location was great. Peaceful setting right on the water. Could use some overall updating and better dishes/cups/cutlery, but kitchen was well enough stocked for a short stay. Patio fans didn't work for us and there were no trash bags left, a quick text / response to and from the mgmt company made them aware.
