We recently rented this Vrbo home to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday, and everything turned out great. We had friends over, hired a chef, and the entire stay went as planned. Everyone had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the property.When we arrived, everything in the home was clean, ready, and set up for us to enjoy. Parking was convenient, the location was great, and there were restaurants nearby, which made everything even easier.Overall, it was a great experience and the perfect place to celebrate such a special occasion. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property to others.

We loved the location. This is a true 5 star experience- perfect Lake Austin location. Walk to the Ski Shores cafe; swim in the pool or hot tub. Catch bass off the boat dock. The views from the second story boat house just melt any stress away from you. Dr J is a superb host- very clear and prompt communication with him. Would stay again

Liked: Location
Spectacular pool and outdoor spa area and the location on the lake was exceptional. Unfortunately there were no chairs or lounges by this area, we had to go out and purchase our own. The kitchen was functional and well furnished and the beds were all very comfortable. The furnishings were all quite heavy and included many personal and memorabilia items sitting out and on display which were indeed quite fragile. Perhaps not an ideal house if you have young and exploring children. Jay was really super to work with and was incredibly responsive and helpful with any and all questions. Could not ask for a better contact person if renting a house.

We had the opportunity to stay at this lakeside oasis over the last weekend and would honestly give it 5 stars if we could. Not only was the home beautiful and well appointed, but Dr. Jay was one of the most gracious and communicative hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. The location was ideal with one of a kind lake views, a stunning pool, and plenty of outdoor space to relax and take it all in. If you are looking for your next lakeside escape, look no further than this property!

Location. Location. Location.

This central Lake Austin location was perfect for us. A few doors down from the epic Ski Shores Cafe was so convenient to the best nachos and burgers in town. The pool looked like it flowed right into the lake. We enjoyed it everyday. Along with wake surfing and jet skiing right off the back of the house. Dr. Jay is the best host ever. Thanks for a great trip.

Perfect Spot for a Perfect Weekend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The house is located on a picturesque part of Lake Austin - near of fun little “cafe” and a really pretty hiking trail (Turkey Creek). Dr. Jay, our host, was welcoming, helpful, and committed to making our stay everything we wanted it to be! We were in for our son’s wedding, and the house provided the perfect backdrop for our small welcome dinner. Hoping for an excuse to go back!

Great Spring Vacation

This house was amazing...beautiful interior and exterior. We used to live on Lake Austin and this vacation made us feel at home again! The views are amazing and there are so many places in house and on the beautifully landscaped back yard to enjoy morning coffee, happy hour and dinner! Enjoyed the dock, the pool and the hot tub! Not only was the house amazing, but Dr J was also a great host! I will be booking Dr. J's house again!

Amazing house and perfect location!

Beautiful lakefront property! Only 2 lots down from ski shores, easy to walk over for lunch or dinner. 5 giant bedrooms, everyone slept great. Spent most of our time in backyard, huge infinity pool and hot tub overlooking lake, plenty of towels. Beach entry to lake and beautiful view from deck. Very clean property with amazing decor. Had everything we needed and more! Immediate response from owner with any questions, we can’t wait to come back! Thanks so much Jay!

Fun Family Vacation

I rented the lake house with my husband, parents, siblings, and niece/nephew, and it was so fun for all ages. We used a boat rental for several days, and they picked us up from the dock right outside, which was so convenient. The house is located nextdoor to Ski Shores, a classic, waterfront Austin restaurant that is perfect for quick meals or fun drinks - and they even have a pickleball court! Dr Jay was INCREDIBLY responsive before and during our stay. The pool and yard are incredibly shady, which was great for the little kids but not great for getting tan. Overall, it was nice house and stay but it is his primary residence so there are a lot of knick-knacks, photos, etc. throughout the house and lots of drawers, cabinets and doors marked as off limits and cameras throughout the exterior.

Amazing House & Location, Location!

You cannot beat this location, absolutely amazing spot on Lake Austin! The house is super clean, spacious and can’t beat the pool and hot tub facing the lake. It’s unbelievable. The yard slopes down near the lake and it’s a small beach. Very nice to walk into the lake. We had a boat and we’re able to pull up to the dock for east pick up and drop off. Steps away from Ski Shore Café (also amazing). Lastly, Jay’s communication was so appreciated. Anything we had a question on or local recommendations he was so quick to reply. I cannot recommend Jay’s place enough. A+++++

Awesome VRBO!!!!

I can’t say enough great things about this house! Bedroom arrangements were perfect for our house. Master is huge and beds are so comfortable! House is very accommodating and owner supplies so many things most vrbo’s don’t like soap, shampoo and conditioner in every shower. Extra toilet paper (Charmin!) and paper towels, laundry supplies, pool towels, pool toys, etc etc!!! One big extra is the pool is in the shade all day so fair skinned kiddos won’t get sunburned! If you want sun there’s plenty by the sandy beach or in a lounge chair above the boathouse. The owner is awesome about communicating within seconds of sending him a text if you have any questions!!! Great outdoor restaurant just steps away from the house. Will definitely be back!!!!
