Water was toxic Salty no suitable for bathing or Drinking

The central feature of our trip was supposed to be the home, but several issues related to cleanliness and maintenance put a damper on the family's overall experience. I informed the manager as soon as possible and I commend their prompt reply and service recovery efforts. For a property that asks a high rental rate, it's not unreasonable to expect that the home is cleaned and maintained with a high degree of oversight, quality, and consistency. Partial list of items: 1. Fish hook in the carpet near pool table- brother accidentally stepped on it and was injured 2. Wad of hair found on shower wall 3. Rusted utensils - all knives 4. WiFi not working 5.Tips missing on pool sticks, unable to use 6.Table tennis paddles and net damaged, unable to use 7.Several bathroom doors did not lock 8.Trash by pool area (recreational drug paraphernalia) 9.Disposal sink not working (Observations: 1. As mentioned in other reviews, the water is noticeably salty. Though forewarned by the property manager and probably not anything they can change, it doesn't reduce the fact that its annoying to shower, cook, etc., with salty water. 2. There's a sizable list of "rules" on the lease that must be followed to avoid paying a damage fee) Pros: The property is big, spacious, and visually appealing; lovely pool area; spacious bedrooms; remote, peaceful location

We LOVED our time in Lago Vista! The home was perfect for our group, there were 10 of us and we had plenty of space to stretch out. The pool was amazing! Kitchen had everything we needed! Even with the water levels low in Lake Travis we were able to use the dock to tie off our 25ft boat. Lake was awesome, and we had a blast in the sunshine and Texas heat. Communication with the property manager was fabulous, she was so incredibly helpful and quick to reply and had solutions for us when we needed them. The home is private and quite, beds are comfortable. The water isn’t great but we knew ahead of time and brought plenty of bottled water and this wasn’t an issue for us. We had an amazing time and loved our stay at Paradise Estate.

There were 10 of us staying at the house for a work retreat. The place worked very well for our out goals-comfortable, quiet, great setting and views. Very impressive house

This house was terrific. Everything was as advertised. We loved the pool/hot tub, dock access, and bar area. The house accommodated our group of 14 and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paradise Estate. I would definitely recommend staying at this property, and would love to go back again with family or friends. Communication with Meika was efficient and everything ran smoothly.

House is in a beautiful area. We will be back!

I don't normally give one star but this place was terrible. We left a day early and still couldn't get a refund. They don't say kn the listing how bad the well water smells, it stinks to high heaven when you run the bath, like there is a contamination. I have used well water before and it never smelled like that. Spiders everywhere on the ceilings and walls. On top of that they have a million rules and the property manager is a racist. Would severely not recommend. So many moldy and broken cups and food stuck to the utensils. Don't waste your good money on this terrible stay. I am still trying to get a refund after dealing with the rude property manager who said we must not be from here to deal with nasty smelling well water. Well we are "from here" and it was rediculous. If you stay, you have been warned.

Will come again. Beautiful scenery. Loved it.

This house was absolutely amazing and perfect for our stay. Owner was great with communication about our trip and stay. Will definitely be coming back again. Thank you so much.

The house and grounds are beautiful and the beds, sofas, and all outdoor furniture very comfy! The water at the dock was deep enough for our boat captain to pick us up for surfing even in a drought which was a huge plus for our family. The pool was absolutely dreamy and I felt I could float forever. Please note - walking down to the dock is a real trek, but we all did it twice for boat pickup. Owner does note this on the site, just emphasizing. Also, so many bells and whistles at this house that you have to spend quite a bit of time studying instructions. My internet was unreliable, but my cell phone worked. Overall, great house, great family fun, and a wonderful way to end the summer! Thank you!

PARADISE ESTATE IS THE PLACE TO STAY IN LAGO VISTA, LAKE TRAVIS AREA!!!

Meika was amazing, she helped to make our stay a truly wonderful experience. The house was lovely and provided everything we asked for. The only draw back was the steep incline down to the lake, but Meika did inform our group in advance. Honestly, our trip was amazing and we highly recommend this home.

Excellent family vacation home my whole family enjoyed every single day we stayed in this property

We met our 3 kids and their families at the Marshall Point house for our annual family vacation. First off let me tell you that we had a great time at the house. The home worked very well for our family and the Austin/Lake Travis area was a fantastic place to visit. However, there were a few issues with the house that future vacationers should be aware of. While the house is beautiful, has many great amenities as well as a perfect location, compared to other vacation properties we have rented around the US and Europe in the same price range, it is pretty dated and worn (inside and out). For us, it was not an issue because it is such a beautiful home and we had so much fun, but it could be for some. The stairs inside and out were a constant source of concern because we had 3 grandkids under 4 with us (as well as a gimpy grandpa ... me!). We have learned over the years that stairs with these types of vacation properties are part of the deal and we were prepared to deal with it. The salty water situation at the house was a bit of an issue. We read the reviews and listened to the property managers warnings regarding bottled water and ice. However, you could still taste the salt when using the dishes, glasses and utensils. So, a trip to the store for paper and plastic plates, cups and utensils was needed. The environmentalists in the area would have a field day if they saw the amount of plastic that ended up going into the local landfill during our stay. At a minimum, you would think the owners could at least provide a couple of 5 gallon "Sparklets" water bottles and a dispenser or two in order to cut down on the waste created by the drinking water issue. Despite the 3 issues noted above, the Marshall Point home has so many pluses. We felt that we got our money's worth by renting the property. The entire family raved about great the house was for our family and we would come back, and we would recommend the home to others if the opportunity presented itself.

Everything at this house was exactly as advertised and then some. I will absolutely be staying here again.

The house and property was just as pictured and as the property manager Bryan described! We had 16 people ages 1-65 and everyone was comfortable! Bryan did a great job explaining the few unique features of the house. The deck and hot tub were amazing. The beds were all super comfortable - including the bunk beds. And when we were inside we enjoyed the game-room to the fullest. The two things Bryan make sure to tell us before hand were that the water is salty…. can’t be consumed. (need to byo drinking & cooking water) and the walk to the doc is steep. Knowing this ahead of time we were prepared! My only suggestion : there should be a water cooler for the guests ( like the 5 gallon cloisters or something similar). Bringing 5 days worth of water for 16 people is a pretty big hassle and creates a ton of recycling. For a property like this - clean drinking water should be provided. 5 stars and we would recommend!

From the property manager, to the house, the views, and all of its amenities… this house is exactly what you need for a getaway of any sort. Will definitely stay here again and again!

We enjoyed celebrating a big birthday weekend with friends. It was nice for everyone to have their own bed and bathrooms. Loved the pool, of course! The property manager, Bryan, was very responsive and did a great job making sure we had all of the information we needed beforehand. Overall, an excellent time!

I stayed at this house for a week with a total of 16 family members. Overall we had a wonderful time and the house matched the description and photos. Other than the bunkroom, the bedrooms were large and comfortable. The kitchen and grills worked well, and had all of the equipment and supplies we needed. The pool and hot tub were comfortable and easy to use. The property manager was very responsive. We had an issue with lack of hot water when we arrived. He had a serviceman out the same day to fix it. The only issues with the house were things we knew about in advance - the tap water is salty and the house is very remote from other houses and shopping. I would definitely consider staying here again if we come back to Lake Travis.

The pictures tell it all, and the house is as nice as it it looks. I will absolutely be back!

We had a family and friends trip and loved Paradise Estates. The property was secluded and private. If we ran into any issues, Bryan with JW Property Management was incredibly responsive. We highly recommend Bryan and Paradise Estates.

Beautiful house! This home had everything we needed for the perfect vacation. Pool, hot tub, game room, lake, and more. Bryan was always available for any questions! Memories made that will last a life time! So much fun! Thank you!!

This home was perfect for my family! Game room, bar, infinity pool, not tub... this property has it all! Bryan, the agent I dealt with before and during my stay, was professional and available for anything needed. Awesome home!

This is a beautiful spacious property with all of the amenities, including a boat dock with access to Lake Travis. The vast number of bedrooms allow guests to have their own privacy, and get together for meals, activities and entertaining. It's great for small company meetings, family and/ or friend gatherings.

Great place’

Beautiful property with upscale amenities. Gorgeous views from the backyard.

When our lake getaway turned into a snow covered trip complete with sledding, Bryan and owners went above and beyond even the highest level of customer service we could expect. I can't say enough about how great they really were to work with. As for the house - couldn't imagine a better set-up to take refuge. The bar area with pool table, game tables and the big tv were great for enjoying the amazing views during the day and hanging out late into the night. The spaciousness of the house with they various rooms had a bit of something for everyone - main room and the kitchen was the eating gathering spot to the dining room and hours of talking over some wine up to the observatory for curling up with a book and soaking in the 360 views, all of it amazing. That's even before you get to the huge outdoor deck overlooking the infinity pool and the peacefulness of the large lot. We can't wait for a chance to go back in the summer and have a completely different, and still amazing, experience with all the house has to offer. And again, we can't say again how great Bryan and the owners were through it all.

This house was everything we hoped it would be! communication with Bryan was wonderful and so helpful! The house was so clean, beds were very comfy. We enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor fire pit. some walked to the dock and said it was great exercise. We brought all our bottled jugs of water. poured them in the water dispensers they had in the house. WORKED PERFECT. Thanks for everything.. will return for sure. .

This property was gorgeous!! The location was wonderful-so much privacy and only 2 houses on the street! It was more than enough space to spread out with lots of entertainment! This house would be fabulous in summer! Would definitely stay here again! The response from property manager was quick! Bryan worked with us and answered all questions quickly! Great service!!

Breathtaking views and a really cool house for a weekend getaway
