Worth it for the view

The view of Lake Travis is spectacular. Condo needs more contemporary furnishings, but is comfortable. Full kitchen is well appointed. Complex is quiet, outdoor pools were clean and inviting.

All i can say about this property is...WOWWW!! My family of 4 were amazed at the entrance and just all around the entire property period. Deer are everywhere and super friendly deer waiting to be fed :) I have to say that this is the perfect location and the room felt so comfy and clean. Yea there was a few spiderwebs but that gave it a more vintage feel and dodnt mind it at all! We always struggle to find a nice spot over viewing the lake but not no more. Will always return to the Island for a beautiful and comfortable stay. Batteries went out for the tv remote called the property manager and was really quick to send for extras to be taken up to us immediately but thankfully we found extras:) Thanks again for a wonderful stay~ Sanchez Family

It was perfect, and just what my husband and I needed after his recent surgery before two more surgeries. Very peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. It’s our second time to stay at the island. The first time was for our anniversary in 2021.

The kids got to feed deer, we got to wake up to a beautiful view, and catch amazing sunset. About 30 min.- An hour away from several cool spots, and the drives around that area are gorgeous. Looking forward to the next opportunity we get to travel back.

This was my second time staying on The Island, and I enjoyed as if it were my first. The only issue we had was that the amount of active spider webs on the balcony made us a little uncomfortable. Other than that, amazing serene getaway.

Nice place, nice view, nice getaway

The overall place was nice. Our condo was nice, but could use some overall updating and a deep clean. The view from the balcony overlooks the pool and lake and was nice. We enjoyed feeding the deer nightly. We enjoyed the beautiful lake- water was so clear. We enjoyed cliff jumping at the property, near the tennis courts.
