Amazing getaway on the lake.

We had a great time at Better Lake Than Never. We loved lounging around the big sectional watching movies, playing ping pong and darts outside, and fishing from the pier in the neighborhood. When we weren’t at the house, we spent lots of time at Inks Lake and Longhorn Cavern state parks, which are just minutes away. Ed was such a great host - the house has all the amenities you could ask for. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a quiet getaway on the lake in central Texas!

Tip Top

Ed has a sweet spot on a canal right off of Lake LBJ. It was perfect for our family. The house is very nice and clean. He has paddleboards, kayaks and dock to fish and swim from. The neighborhood is nice and safe. It sits just outside of Kingsland, TX and about a 9 minute drive to the HEB and restaurants in town. We really like the open concept of the home and the big deck that overlooks the water. Rest assured, this is a tip top property.

About the host

Hosted by Ed

Host profile image
Whether it is fresh or Salty....we love the water. We have hosted families in Port Aransas, TX and have spent our weekends on Texas Lakes for decades. We love to spend time on and off the water and are happy we can provide out places for your memories! We raised our kids at the coast and on the Higland lakes and are excited to bring the same opportunity to others. Please enjoy your time and build the memories with your family. You only have 18 summers with your kids so make each summer worth it!

Why they chose this property

We chose LBJ since it is one of the few constant level lakes in Texas. Being a constant level lake you will always have water and be able to enjoy your time at the lake. LBJ has so many fun restaurants and activities that you can spend afternoons doing something different during your stay. From great burger joints to high end restaurants LBJ has more to offer than most highland lakes. Being up the Colorado you are also away from most of the increased lake traffic during the summer months. You are just a quick boat ride to the main part of lake LBJ. Our location is also close to the HEB, Wake point, and the Boat Town Burger bar.

What makes this property unique

Our property has a great outdoor living area under the house as well as multiple decks and patios. Use our charcoal grill or the propane grill depending on your cooking preferences. We also have a dock where you can fish or launch kayaks. If you don't have a boat no problem, we have boat trips that can be arranged at additional costs.

Our community has a waterfront park where you can spend the day floating, swimming, or fishing. The canal is protected from the Colorado boat traffic so you can have a peaceful afternoon on the water without having the deal with large boat waves.
