Great place!

The listing was accurate and the place is lovely. We came to town for an event and only stayed one night. It was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The host was accommodating and the communication was excellent and prompt. We will definitely be returning for a longer trip next time!

Amazing Time

Had an absolutely amazing time! Beautiful sunsets, had a blast people watching as they come in off the charters! Had a couple hiccups, but the property owners were quick to get this fixed and corrected! They were there for any and all questions! I will be booking again in the future!

Romantic & Fun Birthday Celebration!

We were in Austin for business and stayed an extra night to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the houseboat seemed like the perfect adventure! Communication was fantastic with the owners, and the staff at the marina was very helpful! The houseboat is darling, and even though the weather didn't cooperate, we had a great time! The bed was comfortable, and all the unique features of a houseboat made it feel special.

Great place for the money

Really enjoyed the upper deck and people watching when the party boats came in for the day. It’s a walk, suggest checking in first and getting the wagon provided. Also rented a pontoon boat for one day, highly recommend. It was very hot and AC couldn’t keep up. Needs a hot plate or air fryer. If you do go in and out, parking is 20$. Overall really enjoyed our stay!

the boat house was super clean and cozy! We loved it just the lack of communnication, we didn't know about the parking fee or that we need to download an app to commuincate with the owner of the boat. otherwise everything else was good

Not impressed

If you need a place to stay in an emergency then this works. Portable ac unit in the bedroom blows loud, ants on the counter and spider webs. Showered in luke warm water.

Terrible

The pictures were not anywhere close of what the property looks like. There were spiders and cobwebs all over the outside. It was musty and smelly on the inside. We turned around and left immediately. I contacted The property manager for a refund and I’m waiting for my refund.

Our stay on this Lake Travis houseboat at Paradise Cove Marina was absolutely fantastic. The lodging was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, easily exceeding our expectations. The host was incredibly professional—communicative, informative, completely honest, and prompt in addressing our needs. I would gladly book this unique property again in the future and highly recommend it to any prospective renters. You can truly book this stay with complete confidence!

The description of the property is not accurate. It is an older house boat so we weren’t expecting pristine conditions but there were cobwebs throughout, curtains falling off sliders, and floor soft in the galley. The upper deck was unusable, the cushions were missing from the seats and the area was not arranged and not clean. There was no gas grill and only one TV that did not work. There weren’t even folding chairs to sit in in the lower deck.
