Top Rated Pet-Friendly Lake LBJ Cove Oasis:Pool, Hot Tub, Kayaks, FirePit & More
Sweet Summer Cove
We are excited to share our 3 BR, 3.5 bath lake house with you that comfortably sleeps 12 (up to 14 when factoring 2 memory foam roll away beds that are stored in the master closet) We take pride in earning 5 star ratings and will work hard to make your visit memorable.
Our lake LBJ home is located on a large private cove in the Hill Country Cove development. This Kingsland property is perfect for large gatherings of friends or family
The front covered porch welcomes you to Sweet Summer Cove with 4 rocking chairs that are an ideal place to to read a book or catch up with friends. Upon entering the home you will find tall vaulted ceilings and a large open living/ dining area with views of the pool and cove.
There is a well equipped kitchen with granite counter tops. The Kitchen Aid stainless steel gas range, microwave, and dishwasher are new (November 2022) Most things that you will need to prepare meals are provided such as a variety of cookware, cooking utensils, grilling gear, spices, coffee pods (Keurig), dish soap, dishwasher detergent and paper towels. The window above the sink overlooks the pool and waterfront. There is a second refrigerator, freezer and icemaker in the laundry room.
You will also find a 1/2 bath just off the living area. A little further down the hall you will find a large laundry area along with the entrance to the Master Bedroom. The Master Bedroom has private access to the covered patio and great views of the cove. The downstairs master has a king bed with high end linens and Ritz Carlton pillows. The master bath has a soaking tub and separate shower. You will also find a large master closet, separate water closet and a vanity with 2 sinks. Toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, soap and toilet paper are also included.
Upstairs you will find a second bedroom of similar size to the master bedroom that has views of the cove. This large room also has a king sized bed with high end linens from West Elm and Ritz Carlton pillows. There is also a twin size daybed with a trundle so the room sleeps a total of four people. The upstairs king room has a private bathroom that is outfitted with a stand alone shower, vanity and a toilet. The third bedroom is a bunk room with two twin over queen sized bunk beds that sleep six. (Bedding from Pottery Barn) The bunk bedroom also has an adjoining bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet. The house comfortably sleeps a total of 12 or up to 14 when including 2 memory foam roll away beds that are stored in the master closet. The covered outdoor patio space is outfitted with a comfortable sectional sofa , 2 club chairs and ottomans that provide seating for 9. 2 oscillating fans were mounted on the patio to keep air moving on hot days. We also added bluetooth speakers on the patio for you to play your favorite music from your phone.
The pool and hot tub provide fun year round. The spa is heated at no additional cost and the pool can be heated for $125 per day. The pool/spa has great views of both the cove and an 75” TV! Plush pool towels are included.
The terraced and fenced backyard is a hit with pet lovers that want to bring their furry friends on vacation too. The cove is ideal for swimming, fishing and water sports. There is ample space to tie up a boat and/or jet skis. Non motorized lake toys are provided . You will have access to two kayaks and 2 stand up paddle boards. Life jackets in varying sizes are also available. Fishing is great (crappie, bass and catfish)right off the dockside. Fishing rods and tackle are included.
Large smart flat screen TVs with Hulu Plus Live TV streaming (includes all major channels, ESPN+ and Disney+) are located in the living room (65”), on the patio (75”), in all bedrooms (55” - 60”) and in the garage game room (60”). There is a gas log fireplace in the large living room. Stained concrete flooring is found throughout the main level of the home. You will find carpet on the stairs and throughout the upstairs with exception of the bathroom floors that are tiled.
As mentioned previously, this property is pet friendly with a fenced yard and dog run (very small dogs may be able to fit through the 4 inch wrought iron fencing).
We offer multiple entertainment options. You will find a 12 foot shuffle board table in the main living area. You will additionally find a 7 foot slate pool table and an air hockey table in the garage. (not climate controlled but there is a large fan to move air). There is also a 60” TV and Bluetooth speaker in the garage.
You won't find a better value on the lake for a pet friendly water front home with a pool and spa. Please take a look at what our previous guests are saying! We are very proud of the 5 star reviews and appreciate that so many of our guests have made Sweet Summer Cove their go to place when visiting the lake
We are located just 5 minutes from Kingsland with easy access to grocery shopping (HEB), dining and boat rentals (Splash Boat Rentals).
For cove access to Lake LBJ, boats with ski towers and tops will need to lower them to pass under the bridge which has 6 feet of clearance above the water line. A complimentary boat launch is available for those of you who bring a boat or jet ski.

About the host
Hosted by Ashley Vavasour

We are the Campsmith and Vavasour families. We live in Austin Texas and have been friends for years. Collectively we have 5 kids. We partnered to purchase Sweet Summer Cove and want to share it with you when we aren't having fun at the lake.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property because 1) The Neighborhood - This property is located in a partially gated neighborhood with newer construction homes and well-maintained yards. It felt like home the minute we walked in the door of Sweet Summer Cove. The high ceilings, large living area, expansive patio, pool and hot tub provide for a wonderful stay at the lake. 2) The Location - Being just over an hour from Austin makes getting to the lake a breeze. 3) Constant Level - No worries about lake levels as Lake LBJ is maintained at a constant level. 4) The Quiet - It is the best of both worlds. You have easy access to the open water while being able to escape to the peace and quiet of the cove
What makes this property unique
Sweet Summer Cove is a Lake LBJ favorite logging more than 265 five star reviews. We have outfitted the property with the things that travelers need, so that you can pack light. We provide shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, dish soap, hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, coffee pods and spices. Are you bringing your furry friend? You will find a dog bed and bowls in the laundry room. Sweet Summer Cove is pet favorite as there are 2 separate fenced areas for your pets to play. We also provide bags to clean up after your pets.
Planning on taking a swim? No need to pack beach towels as they are provided. Do you like to spend time on the water? Great news as we provide 2 paddle boards and 4 kayaks for you to explore the lake. Do you want to drop a line in the water? We provide fishing poles and light tackle too. Do you enjoy music? Enjoy Bluetooth systems in the living room, on the covered patio and in the garage. Is watching a movie or catching the game on TV more your thing? Six Smart TV's with Hulu Live TV service will be found in every room, garage and back patio. If games are your jam you will love the shuffleboard table in the living room or the pool table, air hockey and electronic darts in the garage. Want to work from the lake? Until recently internet speeds on lake LBJ were remarkably slow. We are one of the first in Kingsland to install Starlink Internet service. Starlink delivers speeds as high as 200 Mbps. This is more than enough bandwidth to take your zoom calls, stream some Spotify and watch Netflix. If you enjoy a good sunset there is no better place to catch one than from the comfort of the back patio or pool. Once the sun is down you will quickly notice the absence of city lights and enjoy beautiful views of the night sky. We love Sweet Summer Cove and work hard to make sure that your stay feels like your home away from home. We look forward to hosting you soon!
