This listing is for the FULL ESTATE, including the Main 3-Story Home & 2-Story Guest House ("Garden House").

The Palms on Lake Travis is an exclusive and privately-owned, gated, high-end, 3 story, waterfront, estate vacation rental home with a 2 story guest house for those who wish to relax on Lake Travis. We are proud to have received more than 129 perfect 5 star reviews across platforms!

This Mediterranean-style jewel is absolutely stunning! This is our primary home. We live here and rent it out occasionally, and we are excited to share our extraordinary piece of Texas waterfront paradise with you! We expect our guests to treat our home with care and as their own.

The Palms is conveniently located lakeside, 1 mile from the Oasis restaurant ('The Sunset Capital of Texas') on the scenic Comanche Trail drive around the main basin of Lake Travis. This location is prime for those who want to enjoy Austin - it is only a 30 minute drive to downtown Austin and about a 35 minute drive to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport!

Please note that we do not accept bachelor parties, spring breakers, or any party groups. We strive to be a peaceful and relaxing getaway for families, couples, mature friends, low-key celebrations, and corporate retreats. If you desire more of a "party" atmosphere, then another location would be a better fit for your group. Thank you for understanding!

All children are included in the total guest count. If you are bringing a child or baby under the age of 5, you can rent baby gear to make your travel easier at BabyQuip - https://www.babyquip.com?a=4285eb8. They will sanitize, drop off, and pick up things like cribs, strollers, high chairs, toys, and more to make your trip even easier.

Please submit inquiries with your information via the contact form or email for a faster response (vs phone calls). We give priority to VRBO Contact Forms and direct email. We are unable to return all of the calls received. We do, however, strive to respond to written inquiries as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding!

Need to work a little while on vacation? The Palms main house is equipped with desk/office setups in 2 of the King bedrooms and a complete office (the room with a Full bed).

The quote provided is for the full property, and no more than 16 guests, unless otherwise specified.

A cove and covered dock is available to use for swimming, fishing, and sunbathing. Boaters may tie up to the dock with advanced notice. A public boat launch is located just across the main basin from us (you can see it from the property) at Mansfield Dam - it's about a 5 minute boat ride. The dock is shared with neighbors, so you may see others at the dock during your stay.

WEDDINGS AND EVENTS: Please note that, due to our setup, we are unable to participate in weddings or other events with more than 30 total guests. We welcome your out of town guests and family members of the bridal/groom's party to stay with us, and we will make every effort to ensure they have an extremely enjoyable stay in Austin! If you have a wedding or event with more than 20 guests, it must be pre-arranged with a minimum 3 night weekend stay, a contract, and an event fee. Please contact Rodney & Robin if interested.

Our preferred method of contact is the Request Form on VRBO or direct email. We have day jobs and receive too many calls to return in a timely manner. We have found that we can respond to you much more quickly via email.

Why they chose this property

The Palms is located on the gorgeous Lake Travis main basin. Lake Travis is a rock lake, which means the water is generally a sparkly blue color (vs the brownish water found in a muddier lake). The cliffs around it add to the beauty of the area.

While Lake Travis is 65 miles long and there are many remote and hard to reach areas, The Palms is located on the main basin of Lake Travis, which is the closest to downtown, making it convenient to get to other places, dining, shopping, and other fun.

If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with a scenic view and privacy, this is the spot for you!

What makes this property unique

The main basin of Lake Travis is the closest area to downtown on the 65 mile lake. We are also conveniently located just a mile down the road from Oasis Texas, with several restaurants, shops, and live music! Since The Palms is on the main basin, we have a beautiful view of the lake, and you can walk down to the dock from the backyard! If you have a boat, you can even tie it up to the dock at no extra charge - though advanced arrangements are requested.

The Palms is a very convenient and private lakeside retreat for couples, families, reunions, relaxing girls' weekends, and the like. We are always available to recommend nearby dining, suggest spa or golf locations, and provide ideas for fun activities for all ages. Many of our guests decide to just stay and enjoy property, and quite a few choose to extend their trips an extra day or two if availability permits.
