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.

Great Lake house

Pictures don’t do this place justice. The house is not only breathtakingly beautiful, w easy access to lake austin and ski shores, it’s fully equipped w everything you need to cook for large groups, plenty of fluffy towels, and many other little touches to make it feel like home.

Awesome rental on Lake Austin

This property is awesome and the owner, Dr Jay, is probably the best property owner I’ve ever rented from. The location on Lake Austin is so perfect and the house had everything we needed and more. Check in was super simple and Dr Jay is beyond helpful and easy to communicate with, even checking in on us each day. Totally recommend this property!!

Birthday weekend

This was the perfect house for my friends and I to have a little staycation on Lake Austin for the weekend. The pool was perfect, the beach by the lake was ideal for floating by the dock. The house was in great shape and had more than enough room for us. Definitely see us looking at staying here again in the future. Thanks for the hospitality!

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.

Graduation Celebration

This property is truly amazing. and the location is a short distance from downtown Austin. First of all it was super clean which is so important these days. The place was everything I wanted and more. Absolutely perfect for our family. The house was spacious with a beautiful pool, beach access to the lake, a great little sitting area outside under the trees with a grill. Dr. Jay, the owner checked in everyday to see if there was anything we needed. We will definitely come back. Thanks Dr. Jay for everything.

Lake Front Living

We selected Austin and this property for our annual guys trip and were excited to stay here. From the moment we booked, the owner was extremely communicative, helpful and eager to make sure we had a great stay. The house was extremely clean and the check in was easy. The location on the lake was amazing and we had everything we needed. The only minor challenge was getting to the property. It is a good 10-15 minutes to the main road, leaving us at least 30-45 minutes from most of the places we were going. That being said, the extra drive was worth coming back to a dock house that had amazing views and a great setting to end the day. Would highly recommend staying here!

Lakefront Texas Manor

My 4 girlfriends left our husbands at home and traveled to Austin to celebrate a birthday for 5 nights. Our lovely Vrbo rental was in this grand, oversized, Texan-style, and eclectically decorated home. We each had our own large bedroom, comfortable bed, bathroom (2 shared a Jack-and-Jill bathroom) and a ton of indoor and outdoor sitting spaces. Dr. Jay communicated frequently and thoroughly with all the helpful house information that we needed. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the spacious kitchen as well as outside by the lake. We had a memorable stay at 3111 Ski Shores Terrace!

Terrific Property, Great Location & Outstanding Host

Property is situated in an excellent setting, either to kick back and relax or go out and enjoy the lake. It is an expensive house to rent though a good value for large homes on Lake Austin. "Dr. Jay" - the owner and host could not be more attentive or responsive to any requests, typically got back to us within minutes, whether day or night. We hav never experienced a more responsive host, and we have rented similar properties literally all over the world. A terrific property, a great location and an outstanding host, what's not to like? I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. If you are looking to host a large gathering on Lake Austin, this is the property.You will love it.

Dr. Jay is an amazing host! Incredibly helpful in planning before getting to Austin and overly communicative/helpful during our stay which was such an added benefit. The house itself is great for a big group and has an amazing backyard, pool, and lake access. It’s 2 doors down from ski shores which is an amazing lake side eatery that people travel from all around Austin to visit. 10/10 would stay again!

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!

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!

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!!!!
