A one-level pier with boat whips for offloading and onloading to rental boats is on property. If you plan to use the whips to dock a boat, please be sure you are knowledgeable and do so at your own risk. The cove often has large waves.

Sandy Shores Marina on Big Chief Drive is the nearest pay-to-enter ramp (15 minute drive - approx $5.) There is a neighborhood boat ramp just a few doors down which past renters have used. However, it will not work for all boats or trailers or at all water levels.

Frequently Asked
———————-
Can we tie the boat to the whips overnight?
In mild weather, renters have used the whips their entire stay. If you choose to use the whips, please do so at your own risk. We receive the highest waves in spring. The house is on open water.

Does your pool get hot in July/August?
Thanks to the lake breeze, the pool is refreshing all summer long.

Can we heat the pool?
Spa heat is included year-round. The pool can be heated (charged at cost) if nights are above 55 degrees. In below 40 degree temperature, the freeze-guard prevents hot tub use.

Does your property have…?
Requests are welcome. The ping pong table, two cribs, a larger coffee maker, outside wood grill, volleyball set, and many other items have all been added by request at no charge.

Can we have more than 20 guests?
Exceeding the 20 person guest limit violates the rental agreement. Please ask permission vs forgiveness and be transparent in all requests.

Can we have more daytime guests if only 20 stay overnight?
Renting another house in the area and hosting a large daytime gathering at the property is not permitted by the standard contract. Please inquire for exceptions & event fees

Casa Palma is Incredible

The house is amazing. The pictures tell half the story, you have to stay here to get the full story. So much room both in the main house and in the covered porch. The house is stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Our group of 11 loved the kitchen, the beds were great and the pool was amazing. Jennifer was very communicative from the time we reserved Casa Palma until we checked out. We can’t wait to come back!!!

Excellent family vacation!

We totally enjoyed our stay at Casa Palma. Our group ranged from 9 to 71 and the house proved comfortable for everyone. All the couples had their own room with bathroom and the other rooms also had bathrooms for the kid groups. There was room for everyone to spread out and at the same time great areas for everyone to be together. I have never stayed at a house with a kitchen which was as well stocked and the indoor/outdoor patio was a popular puzzle making area. Jennifer was very responsive to any problems and everything was always cleared up as soon as possible. We had Courtney one day for massages which was also wonderful. She was great. The neighborhood was great for walking in spite of the high summer temperatures. I would say the only thing that could improve this property would be a full-size dock, but in the end we didn't miss it and had a great time. All in all an absolutely great house and I would recommend it 100%.

Dream vacation

This place has it all. The homeowner has really thought of everything. We had 13 people ranging from ages three on up, and this place was perfect for every age with tons of games and entertainment. We were there five days and did not need to leave the house to find entertainment. We rented jet skies from a local place near by they will bring them right to the dock if you need them to. The host was amazing as well She put a birthday banner out for our arrival for my grandson’s birthday, she purchased fishing poles at my request and a helium tank to blow balloons up. She really went beyond what she needed to and we really appreciate her. The home was immaculate!! We will definitely return to this property.

Slice of Heaven

This house is a treasure! It has absolutely everything you could even think of needing for a week stay. The house is pristine, beds are extremely comfortable, and there’s a restroom in every room. It’s extremely spacious and has gorgeous light coming in from all the windows, yet it’s very private. We were able to tie up our boat to the dock and use it all weekend. It’s even more lovely than the pictures and Jennifer is a dream to work with as a host. She is kind, responsive, and upbeat. The pool is warm and the hot tub is hot, the grill is great as well as the smoker! It was like staying in paradise! I fancy myself a bit bougie, and this place is a 12/10! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a remarkable getaway!

Amazing property for large families

We had the best time at this home celebrating Christmas on the lake! The views are beautiful of course, but the home is really the gem. With 12 adults and 8 kids, there was plenty of space to play and people to have their own space. The rooms are HUGE and every room basically has a king bed. The home has everything you need to bake, cook, entertain, etc. and made Christmas and New Years a blast. We are already talking about when to come back and hopefully when it’s hot and we can enjoy the lake and beautiful pool!

Wonderful property

My family and I stayed at this property as our annual family vacation for my birthday. The weather did not cooperate but the house was everything we needed. My only suggestion is one of the adult bedrooms with a king bed did not have a TV. The property manager was wonderful and very easy to work with.

Heaven on Earth!

We were ready for a break and wanted somewhere close to Dallas with a pool and a lake view….and boy did we hit the jackpot! Jennifer was great front the start, and she made us feel so welcome in her magnificent home. It’s everything you would want….and more! Cook’s kitchen is amazing, and they are set up to handle 2 to 22! Inside and out is feast for the eyes, and the screened area is beyond words! There is a view from every room….whether it’s a courtyard, the pool or the incredible lake view. Everything was just perfect as she had thought of everything you might possibly need! We went the more relaxed mode, but trust me there are plenty of options to keep everybody entertained! It’s the type of property that would be perfect in every season….we will definitely be back!

A Place to Relax and Unwind

The property has an amazing view, tons of space, and is a great getaway a short distance from Dallas. There are tons of activities without having to leave the house (games, pool, jacuzzi, fishing, etc.). My family and I had a fantastic time, and found all the amenities to cook a full Thanksgiving meal. There is plenty of space in the backyard to lounge and for pets to run around. Jennifer is fantastic, showed us all the amenities in the house, and was very responsive. Everyone was talking about coming back before we left. We will definitely return to this property.

This was a fantastic rental home. Provided everything we needed to ensure it felt like we were at home. Jennifer did an amazing job communicating with me from the time I reached out about the rental to after our stay.

Amazing house with spectacular views.

We always go on a lake getaway with our family of 16 every year. The house had plenty of room for all of us with lots of beds left over. The house was massive and had a great outside space for games and just hanging out by the pool. There is a community ramp next door that worked great for putting our boat and SeaDoo in the water. The pier worked great for holding our boat temporarily but if a storm comes up I would take it out of the water. If the house had a dock it would be a perfect setup for leaving your boat in the water for the whole stay. But a dock is about all this house is missing, besides that the house is perfect. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants to get away and bring a lot of people with them. Also, the owner is amazing and she fixes any problems you have right away. We would love to stay here again.

Wonderful

The house is absolutely spectacular, very spacious and comfortable. It is so great to have a pool and the lake just at 30-40 feet distance from the house. The views are just beautiful. Jennifer, the host, was so kind. She made sure that every member of our family was comfortable, even got an extra crib for my baby. She got our kids toys and other things that were extremely helpful and kept them entertained. There were 8 adults and 13 kids including infants and we still had a ton of room in the house. We recommend this place 100% and can’t say enough good things about Jennifer. She was wonderful. We will be coming back for sure!!!
