We stayed here August 31, 2024. Location was pretty easy to get to, the house is beautiful, and there was plenty of space for 14 of us. The host was QUICK to respond to any questions and was highly accommodating and understanding. We stayed 2 nights and it was so much fun. The space really helped make the weekend memorable. Thanks again, Meika

Along with the beautiful charm of this older home, the convenience of Paradise Cove Marina being within walking distance, made our stay perfect.

Very refreshing to stay here! Loved the pool and the backyard, although no swing was a let down. The listing does state that some things may be changed from the photos and several things we different, like the cute decor outside was not there so that was a little disappointing. Love the views from the upstairs bedrooms. The stairs to the upstairs are STEEP and further apart than normal stairs so it was a challenge for some in our group to get up and down. The gate the exit the property did not work. The sprinklers are the front of the property ran the entire duration of our stay which was hitting the exit keypad, so not sure if that interfered, but one in party had to jump the fence to open the gate- memories! Despite how busy the beach got behind the house, you couldn't hear anything inside the house which was nice. The back patio/enclosed area was delightful! The houses (main and cabin) had everything you could need. There were a few dead bugs so picking up dead roaches upon arrival is not the most welcoming site, but overall would stay here again.

After our annual family trip to Galveston was canceled due to Hurricane Beryl, we decided we needed to find a place where all 13 of us could gather to have a little fun in the sun, and a little relaxation. We searched VRBO for a place with a pool and found this gem! The title says it all: LOCATION! Our stay was from Sunday - Thursday, and we pretty much had the entire area to ourselves! It was very peaceful and relaxing. The cottage, which was built in the 1940s, was updated, but still maintained all its charm. We had everything we needed (HEB delivered groceries) and we pretty much just stayed in the pool and spa the entire time! We didn’t have any major issues, but any time we reached out to Meika, she responded quickly and was extremely helpful. Thank you, JW Properties and The Cottage at Paradise Cove, for a wonderful experience.

We really enjoyed our stay here- great location on the lake. Would definitely stay here again for future trips to Austin

This is a really peaceful, well-equipped and beautiful property. It was perfect for 4 couples and the sunsets are beyond amazing. We'll be back!

We were disappointed with the house from the drive in. We had to drive through run down trailer parks and rv housing in order to get into the neighborhood. I felt unsettled and on guard from the second we got close to the house. Here are just a few issues we encountered: - We were welcome by the pool hose soaking us as we walked toward the door. (The pool guy did arrive quickly after I called) - A gecko was on the wall when we walked in. - The loading area to the party boats is right in the backyard. Multiple party buses unloaded, men were peeing all over and its busy because the party buses/shuttles park right behind the house. - When we tried to leave the gate to the driveway would not open or shut. The gate never got fixed and I was jumping over the fence to let the people in and out. - The main gate to the road then broke and I started calling the numbers listed at 7:15 when we couldn’t get the car inside the main gate. I called multiple times but no one replied. I got a call back at 10:30pm with an apology that she had fallen asleep. This caused problem caused us to delay our night out, miss our reservation and was a huge disappointment for our night out for my sisters bachelorette. - The owner did come to check on the gates the next day and was overly kind and accommodating but it had been rough. The housing company agreed to a $200 refund which I have yet to see weeks later. I have called multiple times and left messages with no answers. I would NOT recommend!

Overall, our group enjoyed their stay. Meika was easy to reach and communicate with and we enjoyed experiencing Lake Travis! Pros: The home is well kept up... very clean and overall a truly beautiful space. The outdoor space was the highlight! The hot tub was easy to heat. Electronics such as the TV worked / it was easy to use. The kitchen appliances were in good shape (although this home was not nearly as well stocked in terms of pantry items as other VRBO properties I have stayed in... I would suggest at least having olive oil and tin foil!). Clean and updated bathrooms. Great A/C system to keep us all cool. Cons: We had problems with the gates on the property upon arrival and throughout our visit. We were told was attributed to the gate being solar powered. This wasn't that big of a deal except when returning late in the evening to a rural neighborhood with a large party happening down the road with some interesting folks wandering around nearby. Lake levels were low, although this didn't keep us from enjoying the water. This property is right next to a marina where we were able to rent a boat for water access despite public launches being closed. The bunk beds are very noisy... our friends managed, but it was difficult for people to sleep comfortably when each time someone rolled over and the bunk bed made a sound. Overall we were happy with the space! Thank you!
