Montina Beach is one of a few properties on Lake Travis with a gradual slope to the water. The park like setting from the beach area has been described by a real estate appraiser as the "FINEST LAND on Lake Travis." The view looks out across one of the largest areas of the lake with some of the largest hills in the Texas Hill Country as the backdrop. You will find this lake front area much more scenic than anything in Lakeway due to the larger lake area and the bigger hills; and much closer to town/amenities than Briarcliff or Lago Vista.
The beach area is large and covered mostly with grass. There is a large rock bon fire pit for those special evenings with friends. Yes, wood is supplied complimentary. There is also a grass volleyball court for your energetic gatherings with friends.
The property is located on the highly desirable south shore of Lake Travis, close to Austin's vibrant lifestyle and near all the amenities you desire from the finest in shopping at the new Hill Country Galleria and Lakeline Mall to great restaurants including Hudson's on the Bend, Rocco's and Hill Country Pasta House. There are six exceptional golf courses within ten minutes drive. The house is located on approximately four acres with another house that the owners live in.
Austin's legendary night life must certainly be experienced if you have never been to downtown Austin at night. The house is a great place to stay with friends when in town to watch the exceptional athletic programs of the University of Texas Longhorns. It is about a 25 minute drive to downtown or the UT campus.
The home is about one mile from the world famous Carlos N' Charlies and several other waterfront restaurants are within minutes by boat. There is nothing like a sunset boat cruise and dinner at a waterfront restaurant, then a leisurely boat cruise back home.
Boat and jet ski rentals are available nearby; or launch your own at a nearby marina and park it at the dock on premises. Spend a day wakeboarding, water skiing or parasailing. Yes, they will pick you up right on your boat dock to go parasailing! If you are young enough in spirit, you may also want to venture into Devil's Cove for one of America's biggest parties every summer weekend - it is a five minute boat ride away.
The house has a wonderful open design. The kitchen, living room, breakfast area and dining room are all combined in a very large area without walls that makes for a great social gathering point. There are two outdoor living areas and three grills for your enjoyment. One bedroom has a king size bed and a private bath. The second bedroom has a queen bed and also a private bath. The third bedroom is smaller and houses a bunkbed which has a full size bed on the bottom, a twin bed above, and a pull-out twin bed that recesses under the full size bed. The smaller third bedroom has access to a third, common area bathroom. A comfortable futon is located in an area of the great room and two roll-away beds are also available. All bedrooms have televisions.

We stayed here for a weekend getaway with our friends and had a great time. The house easily slept the eight people that came on the trip. The house is very nice and taken care of well. It is out of town and in a quiet neighborhood but still close to Austin or Lakeway.We went to Carlos and Charlies Friday night cause is it so close to the house and we wanted to relax. Austin has an endless amount of activities to fill the day and night from sightseeing, outdoor activities, to wineries, and concerts. We would definitely recommend this house for anyone wanting a vacation or lake getaway.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

The house was great! It is actually a lot larger than what it looks like, on the pictures. I went with a group of girls for a girlfriend getaway, we all really enjoyed it. It is fully equipped with all necessary appliances, plus it had some extra perks such as complimentary shampoo and disposable utensils. Not to mention, the BBQ pits that they have in the back patio. The property is at a perfect location, it's only four minutes from the marina where you have access to rent a boat, which we did... We didn't have to drive far for dinner either, Carlos & Charlie's is also next to the marina. The owners are also very pleasant and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this house to friends and family.

We just experienced a wonderful time at the beautiful Montina Beach house. The landscaping was explicit and the accomodations were exactly what we were hoping they would be. It is a lovely home with a very friendly floor plan - just perfect for family gatherings whether you are eating, watching movies or playing games. Lake Travis' water level was very low but there was still plenty of water for skiing and swimming. The owners were so gracious and accomodating to us. Thank you so much - we are hoping to come again next year.

Just got back from a weekend at Montina Beach House. It was lovely! I was there with friends for a family wedding. It was a great location and the house was perfect. Very spacious and clean. The accomodations were perfect for us. We barbequed and enjoyed the Lake with a boat. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. We would love to come again sometime in the future.
Owner response:Hi Loretta, Thank you for the kind words about Montina Beach on Lake Travis. We are happy that you enjoyed your visit and that the house was perfect for your group. It was a privilege having you as a guest and we hope you will return again. Best Regards, J.R. and Phyllis Montina Beach on Lake Travis

The property is in excellent shape, w/ a very well maintained landscape. The house has 3 dedicated bedrooms w/ attached bathrooms, a modern updated kitchen, and a large family-living room. Outside offers a scenic lake view patio for grilling or lounging. The main body of Lake Travis is just a short walk down from the house, w/ a moderate sized swim/boat dock dedicated to the renters. The landlord does live on property, but they are super nice and not in the least bit intrusive. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to rent in the Lake Travis area.
