Hi Melissa! Thank you for taking the time to write us this wonderful review! We love that you enjoyed the location and the property's amenities. We hope to be at your service again soon!
This was a great place to stay on Lake Travis. We had 9 people for a long weekend stay and this house and backyard were perfect. Only issue with the house in the AC in the living room struggles to keep up with the Texas summer heat.

Westley, thank you for your review! We are so glad you got to enjoy the pool and amenities the home offers. We are so sorry you had to experience the record breaking Texas heat. With it topping around 111 degrees AC's will have a hard time, especially with a consistent flow of people going in and out of the house. We hope to be at your service again soon!
Above property management team was first class. This home has a great layout with an awesome kitchen to be able to cook meals and hang out with your group. The pool was awesome to be able to enjoy while it was still warm in Texas. Coffee on the porch overlooking the pool and lake was my favorite part of the trip.

Thank you for your kind words! We really appreciate the insight into your stay. Your group took great care of the home. We hope to see you again soon!
Excellent in every way particularly because of Courtney the Above Residences host. She was phenomenal as in prompt, caring, open and friendly!The house is really “shabby or rustic chic”. Very nice appointments as in quartz countertops, high end tile, faucets and fixtures. Improvements? 1. Back two bedrooms were uncomfortably warm at night. Please put heat resistant window coverings inside or outside and or add split air conditioners to help.2. The pool was clean is big but could use resurfacing. Also green mold on tile facings on steps. Yuk. Otherwise a great property managed well!
