Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful time at this property. This was the first vacation rental that we had ZERO complaints about. The pictures listed don’t do it justice. It was clean, plenty of room for our 10 adults and 5 children. Fully stocked kitchen with appliances etc. very comfortable beds and pillows. Lake was beautiful (be careful walking down, there are stickers in the grass). Overall, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back if we need that much space.

Love this place!

This was the perfect spot for kids and adults of all ages. The sandy beach is amazing for little ones and there are so many games available in the game room for when they need a break from the water. The adults loved the peaceful views from the house, a well stocked house and happy children. We can't wait to come back!

Another Great Family Weekend

This was the 4th time to rent this lake house & it didn’t disappoint. We always have such a great time here. Brett, the property manager, is wonderful & if there’s any questions or concerns he is quick to respond. Thanks again for the amazing stay!

Fantastic!

This was our 2nd stay at this wonderful property. The addition of the dock and beach front cover made this visit even better than our 1st visit. We love the gradual declining sandy bottom that makes it perfect for the young children to play in the water. We plan to return again!!!

Perfect for family getaways

We had a 4 generation gathering and the home, property, beach, and property manager Brett made this a vacation for the ages. The bunk room at the back of the house was ideal for the 7 kids (2 - 14). The beach on the lake was amazing and completely unexpected. With the open space in the house and on the patio we never felt crowded. Highly recommend this property for family fun.

A late winter get away at Lake LBJ!!

This house was a perfect setting for our "girls" get away - my mom, my two daughters, and 3 grandchildren! The lake access, dock, fire pit, etc. were perfect. The house was well-equipped and worked great for our casual and busy group. Brett, the property manager, was awesome - started up our fire by the lake and was available if we needed anything. We will definitely head there again soon!

Great property! Lots of space, great amenities, wonderful lake. We loved it!

The owners were very accommodating. The house was cleaned and well stocked. We took our boat and tied it up to the dock overnight. There were multiple families with kids ranging from 1 to 11, yet there was enough space and activities for everyone to enjoy. This was a fantastic weekend!

Very nice property on a peaceful part of the lake!

The place has enough room for multiple families, nicely decorated and comfortable. There’s plenty of space for the kiddos and pets. The beach was my favorite part, can’t beat that and I have stayed on many homes in different parts of Kingsland and LBJ lake. Some appliances in the kitchen could use an upgrade and another shower would round up the perfect place for a short vacation at the lake. Overall would recommend this place for sure.

Great home for our family reunion

They thought of everything! The home was equiped with large groups in mind. The 2 refrigerators/freezers, 2 dishwashers, undercounter ice maker, silverware/dish service for large number of people were awesome. We didn't lack for anything. The bedrooms slept our group of 16 perfectly. The kitchen was roomy as well as the living areas. The separate game room was a HUGE hit with everyone. The beach and beach toys were very much enjoyed by all. Of all the homes we have rented in the Kingsland area, this is by far the best!! We can't wait to return next year!

Family Retreat

The perfect get away for a romantic weekend or a family holiday. House was large enough to fit our extended family and had everything you need to entertain children and the young at heart. House host was amazing and quick to respond to questions. Our kids loved the added bonus of the game room. Perfect for when it got too hot to be out in the sun. The location is amazing!! Right on the water and a sand area for beach volleyball and sandcastles. We will stay again!!

Perfect Lakehouse for our Annual Family Reunion

We just spent 5 days at Lake LBJ in the Sandy Beach Lakehouse. It couldn't have gone better!! The house has been beautifully upgraded with great look, beautiful furniture and a marvelous kitchen! From our 5 year old granddaughter to my 92 year old mom - fun and relaxation was had by all!! The management is always great to work with and the beach area is a perfect place to enjoy the lake. We've rented this house for several years in a row and will return again next summer.
