Condo is in a secluded setting. Very peaceful and great water views. Our host was very nice and everything was exactly as described. Weather was cold but it would be even nicer in summer.
This condo is cute and well decorated. It had everything we needed for a few days and the property itâs at canât be beat for romantic evening views as you walk around. Tons of deer everywhere itâs very serene.
The communication was great and Jaya was super nice. Only wish the hot tubswere open past 10 pm. This meant I could only use it once over my three days for about thirty minutes due to my crazy holiday schedule. The restaurants were closes
This place was very good! The instructions were clear and lots of great recommendations for things to do. My only critiques are that there was a weird smell when we first walked in that only got marginally better over our stay. Also, bring your own blankets because you are only provided a thin sheet and blanket.
Second time staying on the Island. Much happier with this unit over first. Bed was comfortable dense foam - no sags or lumps. Its kitchen was adequate for breakfasts for us. Needs an actual sharp knife and a real coffee pot along with pods. Iron did not work. Toilet seat is going to slide off with somebody! Other than those mentioned items the stay was very good.
The pictures are deceiving. The property is gorgeous but the actual room we stayed in was dark poorly decorated and not clean at all. There was a weird smell and the bed was not comfortable. I will not be staying here again.
The villa was a nice May getaway for my wife and I. I was very impressed with Jaya's extremely helpful customer service level provided before and even during the trip.
PROS: - just the right size for two
- free wifi and netflix available
- had most things you needed for cooking
- "keyless" code entry to the villa, so no need to keep up with a key
- felt safe with the gated entry and weekend security
- temperature control and a fan allowed for comfortable sleep.
CONS: - the bed was a little too stiff for us
- a bit of a smell in the room that was hard to cover up with air freshners.
- we found photos #1 & 17 to be a little misleading, as they made it seem like the room had a view of the lake when this room was an interior room (no view).
We recommend this as a nice quiet getaway, while still close enough to Austin to enjoy the city as you please. Thanks for everything Jaya!
The smell upon entering the condo was bad, bad enough that we decided cut our trip short and go home a day early rather than spend the night again with the stink. At first we thought maybe it was just because it had been shut up for a while but it never got better. It smells like musty dog urine. The owner was contacted and assured us that she went over there after we left and she didnât smell âanything weirdâ. But since there are several new reviews now that comment on the smell, I find it hard to believe that she was unaware of the odor.
Itâs a dark little studio (suitable for 2 people) that with a little bit of love could be very nice; a professional painter and some better lighting would go a long way. The bed is very firm and the couch reminds me of the futon that I had in college. The kitchen had all the basic amenities needed. Special attention should be paid to ensuring the dishes in the dishwasher are actually clean before placing them in the cabinet. 3 of the coffee cups had coffee rings in the bottom, and lip gloss on the edge and 2 of the plates were clearly not clean.
Loved the location and unit was smaller than I thought from pics but very clean! Host was nice! Bed was a little firm for me but thatâs a personal preference-
Our family loves to travel and we have rented many homes during our various vacations and have had an awesome experience with each rental. We have made beautiful memories on each vacation and have loved the comfort of living in a home away from home. And we hope you will enjoy your time in our home. Feel at home!
When we first drove to the Island at Lago Vista, about a year ago, we fell in love with this place. There is something magical about Lago Vista. The place, the people, it just has a very happy feeling. We live just 20 miles away, but when we come here, it feels like a vacation. Adults and Kids love the amenities on this property. Lago Vista is much laid back, resort style community with not much hustle bustle or crazy traffic. This is a perfect place to come down and enjoy the beautiful nature or just sit back and relax.
