Our stay at Wake Point was fabulous. It is located in a great little lake neighborhood. It was very safe with families walking dogs or taking a stroll each day. It is very close to everything in Lakeway and Bee Cave. The owner was very responsive when we had random questions. They were very helpful when we asked to check in early after a 9 hour drive.

We enjoyed the property with our dogs as a quiet sanctuary and base of operations outside Austin. In between fishing and visiting some friends, we relaxed and enjoyed the big TVs and kitchen inside, the big backyard and fire pit outside, and this quiet little neighborhood around the corner from the marina. It was the perfect getaway.

Our family of five enjoyed our Memorial Day weekend stay at Wakepoint. The house was in great shape and had everything you could need. Great response from Destiny when we couldn’t find paper towels. She sent the housekeepers right over. We enjoyed walking down to the restaurant by the marina. Thank you!
This house was very clean and had so many extras we typically don’t find in a rental. Great assortment of cookware, spices and utensils. The shuffle board was a huge hit with our teen boys and the backyard would have been used more had it not been a rainy week and if we were there over the weekend. Communication with management was always very prompt.

We stayed here for a month while our house was being remodeled. Very comfortable home and I have to say it was the best equipped vacation home we’ve ever stayed in. Tons of kitchen equipment, dishes, utensils etc… well stocked with everything you need..Lots of towels and bedding which is unusual in my experience. Check in and out very easy and property management group. A Stay Above we’re wonderful to work with, very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend this property or any of the ones they manage.

At A Stay Above the Rest, we LOVE spoiling our guests by providing them with every amenity imaginable so they can focus on making memories with their loved ones! Our design team had a lot of fun remodeling this home with an eclectic modern vibe! We hope you were able to take advantage of the private backyard with the fire pit and loungers and get in a game or two of cornhole. :) Sundancer Grill is a must while staying at this home! The food and views of the lake can't be beaten! We thank you for allowing us to host you and hope to have the pleasure of doing it again soon!
The games were fun and the home was comfy. A bit of confusion about pets allowed because the landing page for the property wasn't complete (said no more than 35 lbs in the contract but not in the VRBO page). Would love to see more secure fencing installed. Loved how responsive they were. Overall 5/5.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at one of our newest properties! Thank you for your feedback about the fence, this is exactly how we become a Stay Above The Rest! By listening to our guests and improving each time. We hope to host you again soon!
We didnt know what to expect of this property, especially being on Lake Travis where there is a wide spectrum of quality. The neighborhood wasn’t anything special (though it’s walking distance to a restaurant and the lake), but the interior was EXCEPTIONAL. The property is immaculately maintained, there are so many things to do in it, and it is fully stocked in terms of kitchen appliances and tools. The property manager is so responsive to everything you need, and they even helped us out when a member of our group accidentally left a wedding ring there. If you want to stay on the lake, I highly recommend this property.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at this property. We're glad that or team was responsive and helpful throughout your stay, and that they went the extra mile to assist you with the lost wedding ring. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back in the future.
The pros: the property manager was extremely responsive. The location was central to where we wanted to be. Dog friendly. Close to the lake. The cons: it was dirty. We reached out on the first day of our stay and sent pictures of human and dog hair in our "clean" sheets, bugs on the floor, tons of food on and under the cushions of the couch. Everything felt really dirty and we were really excited to be checking out after our stay. The neighborhood isn't very "safe" feeling. The next door neighbors front yards are full of trash like mattresses and garbage and I felt uneasy being there alone with my kids or taking out my dog. Lastly, there's a lot of stairs so keep that in mind. The property manager was very responsive like I mentioned but we thought we were bamboozled after reading the reviews and seeing the pictures when we booked. Our stay did not represent what we thought it would.

Thank you for your feedback. Our team is glad that our responsiveness and the property’s location met your needs. This home is well-loved by our guests and we have not received any concerns about the neighborhood’s safety from other visitors.
Regarding the condition of the home, we appreciate you sharing your observations. We regularly conduct deep cleans and quality checks between stays to ensure every guest enjoys a clean and welcoming space. Any issues reported during a stay are addressed immediately, and we rely on guests to notify us so our team can resolve them quickly.
The property itself offers a dog-friendly environment, central access to the lake, and plenty of space for families. The multiple stairs are noted in the listing for guest awareness, and we always encourage families to consider this when planning their visit.
We are committed to maintaining high standards across all our homes and to providing prompt support when needed. We hope future guests will enjoy this property’s prime location, amenities, and comfortable accommodations with confidence.
The property was very clean inside. Beds and couches were very comfortable. Property management company was very responsive. The issues we encountered seemed to be deferred maintenance or attention. We were without fully operable AC for several days and after two different technicians serviced the issue, the second tech diagnosed as neglected regular maintenance. The front porches had a lot of tree debris on the decks upon arrival. The shower drain and shower pull device both malfunctioned on first use. However, response time and professionalism of property management was good. We would stay here again and recommend to others.

We have taken steps to rectify the problems. It was a pleasure hosting you and we thank you for allowing us to do so and look forward to doing it again soon!
A comfortable clean home where the living area is great, the beds are comfy, the kitchen well equipped. We enjoyed our family time together here. I unfortunately do have to point out a few negatives about the area. First, the house next door, the back yard is so overgrown, not a great sight. When we took walks there were a few neighbors who had all sorts of stuff out in their front yards, ex: washer, dryer, sofa, mattresses, abandoned cars. From the pictures we expected a pretty lake vacation neighborhood. And then the lake itself, which was a short walk, was a very visual disappointment. The water was so low, with the boat docks so far from the water level. We had envisioned seeing a beautiful active lake for water activities based on pictures with no communication with how it is now. Nothing was going on at the lake at all.
Unfortunately due to the neighborhood and lake we will not be returning.
