Great space to relax

The property is so pretty and the house is spacious. We had more than enough room, whether we were inside or out. The dock is great for fishing or hanging out. The porch is a wonderful place to visit or have a meal. The fenced yard was great for our dog. We did get her a life jacket cause she did want to jump right in the water! It's a quiet neighborhood but we did meet a neighbor and her dogs. Probably one of the best stocked houses we have been in. Plenty of towels and pillows. Lots of dishes, pots, bowls, etc. Guessing the ziplocks and spices might depend on who has left what, but there was tons of those along with coffee and other niceties. Not a problem because we brought our own, but there was no shampoo or soap in the shower. We were surprised just because more and more seem to be supplying that. I am only sharing so others are prepared; it's not a huge negative since there were so many great things we did love. They did supply enough toilet paper, paper towels, dish and clothing detergent, etc. The big kitchen was a great place to gather for eating and prepping meals. Plenty of seating in the family room for movies or just vegging. The rooms worked out great for us. One bedroom doesn't have a door, but that didn't bother us. Lots of beds and bathrooms. We could have had a lot more people and still be comfortable. It was a relaxing and enjoyable spring break!!

Relaxed to the max

We had 3 families with us over the weekend. The house was very clean, well stocked and well maintained. We enjoyed the double decker deck with the kids fishing, the adults lounging and floating on rafts. The neighborhood is quiet with friendly neighbors. My absolute favorite was the kitchen size and waking up to the glistening water. The home owner was quick to respond to questions. She has everything set ups seamlessly. Best weekend of the summer

Paradise in Kingsland

This home away from home was such a wonderful setting for the total eclipse in the soft balmy air of a Texas April. We read all the five star reviews and were not disappointed. There are great attractions minutes away. Jessica responded quickly to any questions. Would love to return.

Family getaway

LOVED our stay. It was perfect for our family. The big trees keep the backyard area shaded during the day and the water is so pretty off the pier. The house is set up to accommodate big groups. It was so nice to spend time with family and stay in the same house. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect vacation home

This was our family’s 6th year to stay here and it was just as wonderful as it always is! There was a problem with the water heater and the owners promptly drove several miles to come replace it. We even had the opportunity to meet and they are an awesome couple! The house is very roomy with a boat slip and a lift which is an important feature for us. We always feel like we’ve come home to an old friend when we arrive at the house. We have made many great memories here and plan to make many more!

Spacious rooms, plenty room for 12 of us, bbq pit, (great neighbors, even brought us watermelon, and entertainment with their dogs😀! We have discussed coming back next year!

On the water, many rooms, pet friendly

This place was great, particularly because it was directly on the water with an awesome dock. Jessica was very helpful and responsive, and everything was clean and comfortable. Nothing here is a complaint at all, this is just to help you prepare: 1.) bring your own charcoal, and maybe grill brush. The grill worked but has seen better days. 2.) bring your own floats. 3.) do not plan on watching much TV, there is only one TV and it is small. If you want to sit around and watch sports, bring a projector setup. If you have kids, bring an iPad. 4.) the upper part of the dock with the awesome deck doesn't have lights, so bring some lanterns if you want to hang out there at night and need to see. I'll definitely do this next time because it would be fun to play some games out near the water. 5.) two downstairs bedrooms share a bathroom, two upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom, the primary upstairs has a dedicated bathroom, and the last room upstairs has a dedicated bathroom BUT it is down a hallway and there is not an actual door to the room. 6.) if you bring pets and don't trust them not to jump in the lake, bring two child gates to lock them on the patio. The back yard is gated on the sides, but it is open to the dock and the water. I would definitely recommend this rental!
