Wake up to Lake Views from Every Window

JohnRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Such an amazing, cozy mini vacation—truly felt right at home! Mornings with coffee on the balcony were the perfect start to the day. The thoughtful touches throughout the apartment, especially the fan in the bedroom, made the stay extra comfortable. It was so quiet and peaceful, and watching the deer wander by was a real treat!

2BD Luxury Condo | Water Views | Pool | Rainey St

TammyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Dakota's apartment was an excellent stay. The view is absolutely amazing. The apartment itself is very elegant, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is sufficiently stocked for cooking and great coffee. The beds and living area furniture are very comfortable and a nice quality. The showers are also nice. The location of the apartment building is great and very walkable to restaurants and entertainment. The apartment building is nice, safe and efficient (as well as the valet parking). The front desk staff are friendly and will securely store luggage until check-in time. Note that the check-in staff seem to only rely on the host for details of the apartment, thankfully Dakota is very responsive. We look forward to staying here again!

Domain Life - Best shopping, restaurants, & bars

YukiRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We loved the apartment! The great location, super clean apartment, tasteful decoration, this apartment had everything we needed. I especially appreciated how clean the place was. Since it is located in the shopping areas, it can get noisy at night but earplugs were provided and we had no issues with sleeping. My kids slept in the second bedroom which was away from the street and they said it was super quiet. We stayed here for MOTOGP at COTA. Since this place is right off the highway, it was only 45 minutes away from the track. Maybe even shorter with toll roads. MO was very responsive with communication and super helpful. Easy check in and check out. Everything worked and was easy to operate. 100% recommended.

Blanco Riverfront Bliss! Half mile to Downtown!

AshetonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had an amazing stay, and we would definitely recommend this Airbnb! Hayley was super accommodating and attempted to resolve any issues we had. The house is a short distance from the downtown area and has a path down to the river. If you want to go in the river, be sure to have some water shoes as the rocks are very slippery entering in.

River Retreat, 15 Miles from Austin

AndrewRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
An amazing property with a kind hostess. We felt the warm welcome and charming southern hospitality just oozing out of this place. They provided every supply for our weekend except our food and drinks. There was charcoal for the bbq, kayaks and life jackets for the river, abundant firewood and sticks for s'mores, bubbles, floaties for the pool, a blender for making drinks. We saw a heron, owls, a friendly cat, and few deer grazing on the property one morning. The whole weekend was like a little taste of paradise. Thank you.

Enjoy View of Creek from Relaxing Poolside Retreat

DianaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a variety of ages for family members staying for our daughter's college graduation. The house was well-appointed, and perfect for our multi-generational needs. I cooked 4 large meals in the beautiful kitchen...but happened to forget a lot of the cooking and serving-ware I planned to use. Shanna's place ended up having everything I needed! (And the two dishwashers were clutch!) My in-laws commented numerous times that the layout was incredible, and we're discussing coming back for gatherings more often. This place is great for families! Loved our experience.

Plush Lake Travis Island Condo with Lakeview!!!

ShanayRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay here. We most likely will be back and recommend others to stay here as well. The value was great for the place and view. There were a few minor wear and tears on items but we didn’t stay in the room long enough for it to affect our stay or opinion. I absolutely loved how spacious the balcony is, the seating areas, and the ability to see the pool and the lake at the same time. It was an amazing view. There were a few minor issues with plumbing in the garage but we weren’t near or at the room so honestly we wouldn’t have known anything about it if the host wouldn’t have communicated it. I believe this is a gem and I’ll definitely stay again.

Luxury Unit Rooftop Pool Private Balcony Rainey St

BevRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a wonderful 5-night stay in Austin celebrating my husband's 70th BDay with our two daughters. The experience was made even more special thanks to our fabulous hosts, Maelia & Liya. They were incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had-always ready with helpful recommendations for local events and dining. The suite itself was perfect for our family—2 bdrms, 2 baths, & a fully equipped kitchen with every amenity you could think of. From cooking spices and spray to honey for tea, pool towels, plastic glasses, and even a picnic basket for enjoying the pool area—it felt like everything had been thoughtfully considered. Speaking of the pool—it was absolutely fabulous! Plenty of reclining chairs made it easy to relax in the sun, & the view from the pool area was simply amazing. The location was also ideal, with lots of excellent restaurants nearby and just a pleasant 30-minute walk across the bridge to reach a variety of shopping options. We will definitely return

Peaceful getaway -Island of Lake Travis-Bella Lago

KaleenaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our family of four absolutely loved our stay! The location is private and peaceful, and while it’s a bit far from Austin and all there is to do downtown, it was the perfect escape for our Spring Break weekend. The condo was cozy, with plenty of games and activities. We enjoyed our time on the patio, played pickleball, spent a lot of time in the hot tub and pool (or reading by the pool at sunset with the most incredible view), and my animal whisperer son got to feed and interact with the deer on site- a real highlight for him! Thank you, Cheri for a wonderful stay! We hope to be back one day!
