I cannot recommend Camp Sandy enough. We had the most wonderful stay, and David was the greatest host. He accommodated us with an early check in, late check out, and even sent us cookies during our stay. The grounds are so beautiful, and there are so many things to do. We had a group of 19 adults, and everyone had a blast playing volleyball, pickleball, swimming, kayaking, playing pool, and hanging out. We can’t wait to come back.

Family Birthday Celebration

We celebrated three family birthdays during the July 4th weekend. We had a great time and the house had plenty of room to accommodate everyone during rain events. While some of the rains were heavy and caused some issues, David was quick responsiveness was appreciated by everyone. Definitely would stay here again.

Camp Sandy was the best!

Our group loved playing volleyball, swimming in the pool, playing pickle ball and utilizing all of the activities at Camp Sandy! David and his team were super helpful and communicative. Kim said he was also super convenient in location to downtown Austin and other activities around Lake Travis! If you’re with a large group, it’s very easy to get a ride! Thanks David and Camp Sandy. Can’t wait to come back one day!

Awesome stay at a special property!

We loved our stay at Camp Sandy! David was extremely helpful and communicative from the moment we booked our stay - gave great recommendations. The property itself was perfect for our group of 15 guys, plenty of fun games & activities to do in the expansive yard a pool and hot tub. Plenty of beds for everyone and space to hang out, eat dinner, etc.Very close to marinas and launch points for a boating trip, which we did Saturday during our stay. And easy access to downtown in 20-30 mins.We would definitely highly recommend Camp Sandy for an active group of friends looking for a great place to stay near Lake Travis!

Bachelor Party

Came for a bachelor party with a big group. Everybody loved the space and all the house had to offer. You would find it very hard to get bored here. Tucked away so you have some privacy.Only bummer was the lake was dried up where the house was. Owner was transparent about it though. It also didn't even affect the trip much. Communication overall throughout the process was great.Would book again.

Awesome home base for UT Austin commencement weekend

We stayed at this property with 20 people in town to attend our daughter's graduation at UT Austin. The location was about 35 min to campus but since we only needed to be on campus Friday morning for commencement activities, this property was perfect for the remainder of our 3 night stay.Communication with David was great and he met us at the house shortly after arrival to give us a tour (and surprised us with Tiff's Treats during our stay)Lots of activities for all ages (true to pictures posted on website)Outdoor pavilion had full size fridge, sink, and gas stove/oven, in addition to the large Weber grill (great for the graduation party we hosted onsite)Like other reviewers, you do need to be able to navigate stairs and slope/incline both into the house and down to the outdoor activities. All bathrooms located inside the house.We would definitely stay here for a group of our size

Great Family Reunion at a Great Place!!

Camp Sandy is a great place for a large group! There are plenty of things to do and spread out if needed! We were a group of 27 and never felt crowded at all! David, the owner and manager went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Anytime I would text a question or concern he was right on it, not too many owners take care the way he does! Thanks David for a wonderful time!

Superior vacation experience at Camp Sandy

The home is well appointed, the owner/mgr is always available to answer questions and the surroundings are lovely and full of so so many things to do. This is our 5th year at Camp Sandy and 3rd year of no water in the cove. But the pool is awesome, so was sand volleyball, corn hole, putting, shuffleboard, and on and on and on. This is a large family get together each year and we all agree it feels like home.

From initial contact to booking and arrival this transaction has been fantastic. Owner has been top shelf on all aspects of rental. Property is HUGE accommodating everyone comfortably. Rooms were fresh and bright with nice furniture. Great room was incredibly large and allowed for all of us to gather (22 adults and kids). Outdoor area was equally greasy with a large pool and great outdoor kitchen/picnic area. We will definitely rent again!!

Why they chose this property

This property is lovingly named after my mother, Sandy Pikoff. Camp Sandy is all about enjoying life and making happy memories with ones that you love. My mom did lots of charity work, so in her honor we are committed to sharing this beautiful property with groups of foster care kids on a regular basis, and donating a portion of our income to the local foster care community. It is a truly unique and beautiful property. I have added lots of amenities and will continue to build this into an amazing place for people to make life-long memories. I hope and expect that people will fall in love with this place and come back each year.

What makes this property unique

The home and all 4+ acres are very well maintained and beautifully taken care of.
