My biggest and first complaint is that the place reeked of dirty wet dog. I understand that the property is pet friendly which is much appreciated as I am a dog owner however the smell should not hit you as soon as you open the front door. I think some of the key contributors to that is the fact that it doesn't appear that the property is cleaned properly or professionally between guests. In order to feel comfortable we had to clean the bathroom and the floors before we could semi-comfortably settled in. Side note my boyfriend had to unclog and fix the vaccum in order to even properly vacuum the floors which were covered dirt and dog hair. Additionally, the central A/C wasn't operable instead there was portable A/C unit with a large hose that was fed through the only window in the unit. This caused the blinds/window not to be able to close which left us with having to put a beach towel up in order to have privacy from those walking by outside. The humidity was so high in the unit that the bath towels would not dry between showering in the morning leaving all day coming back late at night and then showering again. Lastly there were multiple reviews going back about 2yrs complaining about the bed/mattress needing to be replaced and based on my stay that has yet to be addressed. The photos of the property do reflect the furniture in the unit but definitely do not showcase their current conditions.

Had to come down for a funeral with the hubby. Great little spot, very easy navigation, very quiet and peaceful. Clean and well organized, with extras! The ONLY complaints paint is the bed. It DOES sink in the middle really bad. (I sleep on top of him mostly anyway, but it did create discomfort. Just lift the mattress and throw the extra bed pillows under, fixed it right up. Would stay here again for sure. Very sweet owners.

I was VERY sad or even disappointed about the lake. It was shocking how low even nonexistent the lake was on one side. We had no access to the lake at all we were newlyweds, so we had a great time being together. The people were amazing even going into town. Everyone in town was so beautiful and warm and welcoming. Really the bed situation was really the worst of it all the bed really needs to be replaced in our unit absolutely, other than that, we had a great time really Quaint and cozy, and if you have an electric vehicle forget about charging your vehicle. We could not charge ours. Our host Peggy Carpenter truly amazing, her communication was awesome she went above and beyond to try to make our stay super. We just loved her!

The room was clean and nicely decorated. The complex was beautiful with scenic views. The bed is uncomfortable and sinks in the middle. It is a studio and not a 1 bedroom.

The resort was everything we expected and more. The deer were out every. Very safe neighborhood to run and walk the dog and baby The condo was clean with everything we needed. She even provided treats upon arrival. The laundry room was directly across from our room. She responded to any questions we had very promptly. We will definitely be staying again

The property and area were nice, but the bed was horrible to sleep on. We ended up leaving that same night we got there because of it. Found a different hotel to stay at. I wish I could get my refund since we didnt even stay at all.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Island. This condo is interior facing but looks on to a gorgeous courtyard. The condo was just big enough for us and our 2 Yorkies- who loved their walks around the grounds! The only drawback was the mattress- it sank down on the middle so much that my husband had to sleep on the couch pullout. If they could upgrade the bed then this condo would be perfect.

Cozy home away from home
Peggy was a wonderful host. Her property is warm and inviting. She provided everything one could possibly need during the stay. She responded quickly to any of our questions and really made us feel at home. During our month long stay we enjoyed the pools and resort, as well as the surrounding area. Definitely would stay again.

Condo quality
The size, amenities, and value of this property were good but was detracked by a very poor bed that was sunken in the middle and badly in need of replacement. Unless this mattress is replaced, I would not consider staying in this unit again.

Lovely, Relaxing Place To Stay!
We had a lovely stay at Highland Lakes Estates. The Island on Lake Travis is a wonderful community. The condo was small but so well laid out and appointed it had everything we needed and then some! Peggy added so many thoughtful extras and attention to detail, it was the perfect weekend for us! She was also a helpful and quick communicator. As a bonus, there is a restaurant on site that we did not expect! We would definitely stay again!

Island
The condo was very small with one window that looked out into a gloomy courtyard. No view. So depressing, I left after 10 days. I had booked it for the month of December through January 3.

Amazing island
Most people in Texas don't even know about this place! It's truly amazing. The place is a studio, has more than you need for enjoying the resort and the surrounding area, and the owners are sweet you can tell by the decor and messages, it's definitely their families hang out which gives it a "home" feeling that made us really comfortable and have cute little touches throughout.
We almost didn't choose it because of a review about their noisy air conditioning, but seriously, it's a secondary unit they use to maintain humidity, and it works wonderfully, and surprise surprise, if it's keeping you up at night, ya just go turn it off people. The real air conditioner is just fine and no louder than a typical apartment AC. I'd definitely recommend this adorable spot, and the island itself is magical. The tame deer, the architecture, pools, proximity to markets and Jonestown; you'll love it.

Great Location
THis is an efficiency without a balcony or water view. That being said the condos are very nice and a great spot on Lake Travis. The space had everything we needed and the owner throws in some wine! For 2 people it was fine and very reasonable since we brought a dog.

Austin Vacation
Peggy was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. She welcomed us with a free bottle of wine which was much appreciated. The place was clean and very cute. The pool and lake are amazing day and night. One tip is to bring quarters if you plan to do laundry. It’s right across from the condo but no change machines. It’s $1.75 wash and $1.50 to dry.

Right at home
This property is perfect if you’re looking for a fun getaway! It’s so well-stocked we literally just brought our clothes and food. Everything you could think of and more was available in terms of amenities both in the room and across the property. Several Covid restrictions are still in place but they weren’t too limiting. The river is pretty low right now but we were still able to fish and watch people boating and kayaking. The owner was very easy to get a hold of when we had questions. The shower doesn’t get super hot but warm enough to be pleasant. And we thought the bed was very comfortable. It might be tight for more than a couple though close friends could make it work. The nearby town had great food trucks and wasn’t too far. Overall we definitely want to make it back, especially once COVID is behind us.

We were going to stay in Austin, but the city life wasn’t for us so we booked here and had a much more relaxing time! The bed was super comfortable and soft!

Cute condo! We booked this unit to be close to friends in Lago Vista, to escape the mountain snow and to swim in the pool. The condo itself had everything we needed. The only downside was showers were chilly, the water never got very hot. Sinks were fine! Shower just couldn’t reach the same temp. Condo is truly one room, with a bathroom. The 4 of us were very cozy: 2 adults, 1 teen and 1 pre-teen. We were disappointed to find the pools were closed, (not due to COVID, believe it or not, but due to the recent freeze in Texas). We found this out by being told by a neighbor in one of the condos, AFTER getting in the pool. Signage everywhere said pools were open. The facility itself is beautiful. Would love to see it in the summer with all the greenery and flower gardens. The courtyard outside the condo is lovely and we enjoyed walking the grounds. Directions for parking and finding the condo were good. But parking space is tight! Be aware if driving a large vehicle. We would absolutely rent this condo again. It was a peaceful place to sleep after a day on the lake.

The island!!!!
Our stay was really nice! Of course there was no emails from the property that during the recent freeze they had alot of issues which shut down most of there. Immenities. We were looking to get away for a nice relaxing weekend some time in the hot tub and some beautiful sunsets ! We got the sunsets but everything else was a bust. All in all though our villa was nice and scenery was actually beautiful! Looking forward to staying here again when everything is up and running!

Amazing for Short or Long Stays!
My fiancé and I wanted to get out of our town and go to Austin to celebrate New Year’s, and Peggy’s place was amazing. She had just about everything you could possibly need like towels, shampoo and conditioner, but she also had a portable speaker, pots and pans, complimentary wine, and did everything she could to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. In case you didn’t know, Austin was cold and rainy for New Year’s of 2021, but for the days where we didn’t feel like heading into town, staying home was just as nice as she had puzzles and games. Plus, the Island and scenery is just gorgeous. We’re definitely going to return when it’s warm to enjoy the lake and all its awesome features. Book this place! You won’t regret it!

Not worth it
No hot water. Bed was so uncomfortable for two that one of us slept on the couch. Smell was intense like perfume. Dishwasher started leaking lots when turned on. We ended up only staying one night. For the cost it is just not worth it.

Will definitely stay again!
I went on a little birthday get away and absolutely loved this property. The environment is very peaceful, the island location is gated and I felt very safe. The pools are well kept and the apartment/flat was very nice! The owner provides "extras" you don't always find at VRBO properties. I messaged her with a few questions while there and she responded very promptly! My only suggestion is to bring your own food for meals if you don't want to drive very far. Main stores and restaurants are not located close to this property. Amazing stay!
