Reviewer Comments:
Everyone from ABOVE was incredibly professional, friendly, and made the trip very enjoyable for all of us.
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.
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.
We stayed here with 15 girls on a bachelorette party! We would come back in a heartbeat and recommend this stay to anyone with a large group. Home was beautiful inside and out and the communication with the team was incredible. Overall a very positive experience!
We had the best experience!! The house is so beautiful and lives so well. Our house managers were not only incredibly helpful and responsive, but such a pleasure to talk to. We really could not have asked for anything better.
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!
