You literally can see the water from the front door. Absolutely peaceful setting located on a dead end street. The water is shallow in front of the house, BBQ pit is provided, two sitting areas in the backyard too. Very quiet in the evenings. I'm very comfortable walking in the community and staying alone at the house. Plenty of local shopping and area resturants deliver too. This is my favorite location.

We traveled with our 14, 12, 6 year olds for a getaway from Houston. This was a great jumping off point for enchanted rock and pedernales and also was so great to spend time doing the included water sports - canoe, kayak, SUP. Our youngest loves the water mattress too. Smores every night. Can’t go wrong. My oldest called it a great trip even tho he had to share a room With his sister. We will be back!

Our stay at Water Wonder was just what the doctor ordered! Relaxing and fun, and a nice retreat away from our home.
The water in that part of Lake Austin was bracingly cold and refreshing on a hot Texas day. There was plenty of shade on the porch, yard, and the dock.
Our son got to fish and kayak which were his top two vacation requests. Playing on the lily pad with his friend was tremendous water fun. I kayaked for the first time to a nearby park beach. And my husband took a couple of longer distance kayak trips down to Emma Long City Park and back.
I loved the interesting details -- fairly conventional cups and plates with funky unique cups mixed in was a nice touch of keeping Austin weird -- and creative. There were interesting decorative touches like a wooden fish totem in the living room. Nice touches like several kids bedtime books in the kids room and games for families. We would definitely come back and stay again, and we’re sending the listing to our friends.

We had a fabulous and comfortable stay. Our 11 and 8 year old had so much fun on the mat to put in the lake and we all enjoyed the kayak, canoe and paddle board. Great location on the lake and the home is a dream. We ordered groceries for delivery to arrive shortly after our check in time so we could cook all meals at the house although we did order in one night from Austin‘s pizza nearby. Would have been great to have some olive oil and more dish towels provided but that was the only core items missing. Thank you so much for an incredible stay. We cannot wait to come back.

This place has everything you need. Four adults and two children slept comfortably. River water is shallow which allows for fun in the water. Even caught a good sized catfish from the dock. Had a wonderful weekend there and would stay there again if we're ever in Austin again for the weekend!

The house was great! Very clean inside and out. The owners that live next door are very friendly and helpful. It would be great to know if you can use the boat ramp that’s 100 yards away from the house before you leave for your trip.
Only negative is I sent two emails to the Vacasa property manager several days before our trip and never got a response. But overall I would definitely stay here again!
Manager response:
We apologize our communications have been slow while experiencing a large uptick in phone calls and emails. We are actively working on hiring more hands to help us bring back our 5 star customer service. Thank you!

House was clean and the master bedroom and bath was surprisingly roomy. We enjoyed the canoe, kayak and paddle boards available at the home.

We loved this peaceful community on the lake. It was the perfect start to our summer. The house had everything we needed. It had a fully equipped kitchen. The 2 bedrooms had very comfortable beds. The house was extremely clean. The outdoor area was perfect with lots of relaxing areas looking out at the lake. We will definitely be back.

We had a great time with our daughters at this cozy home! It was equipped with plenty of water toy fun and the homeowners even offered more if we wanted. Perfect space with grill for evening dinners and chiminea for smores! The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful for your morning walks and the spot on the lake is just right to catch the weekend water activity! We loved it!!

The house location is prime on Lake Austin. The owners live right next door so they are involved with your stay. The back deck is a great place to watch boats and enjoy family.
Manager response:
Hi Jennifer, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are glad to read that you loved the location of this gorgeous home. We are grateful for the attention and care the homeowners place into this home for our future guests. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we hope to host you again soon!

We couldn’t have had a more perfect stay - the owners Victor and Diane put so much intention and charm into their guest home, the photos do not even do it justice. Very clean, chic details and one of the best views in Austin. Our two year old had a ball feeding the local ducks and swans, and swimming right off the dock with a sandy bottom. Thanks again for the memories, we will be back!

Cozy and modern lake view home. Great location and peaceful atmosphere. The sunset views of the lake in the evening were scenic; morning coffee on the deck provided nice bird watching and boat activity views. Property was clean and there was plenty of outdoor lakeside seating . The kitchen area is modern and spacious, sleeping areas and bathrooms were clean and spacious and beds were comfortable. Perfect place for small family or two couples. We were visiting children in Austin and it was a great location for everyone to stop in and visit. Will definitely stay here again!

Loved being able to sit out on the deck and watch the lake. The home is very comfortable especially the Master bedroom that opens on to the lake.

Wish we could come back in warm weather!
Monica J.Sep 2019
This place is well-taken care of. The pics don't do it justice. I was sad to leave after my 2-day stay. They thought of everything to make this place a home.
Roger C.Sep 2019
Perfect house for us. We docked our boat at their pier and enjoyed the river, whether boating, or just having coffee on the deck or the dock. Will definitely consider staying there again.

After having a few problems with the 1st location we booked Vacasa worked quickly to upgrade us into this home that worked better for us. We looked forward to vacationing here very soon.

Location was amazing! Victor was very kind to provide us a kayak, canoe, lily pad, and paddle board to enjoy the water with!
