Quiet area, but fun. I took 3 teenagers who don't like to go to the beach. They enjoyed swimming in the pool and in the lake. The beach area was very nice. The girls enjoyed swimming out to the platform and going down the water slide. Marble Falls is a short drive away with restaurants and shopping, as well as a unique downtown area.

Very nice, enjoyed our stay!

Enjoyed a weekend getaway to the area. Condo was very nice, just right for the two of us and our pups. Didn’t use beach or pool this time of year but would come back as it was right on the lake. We also appreciated the suggestions of things to do in the area.

Great place for a get away!

My husband and I needed a change of scenery without driving a long way. This is a nice, quiet place to do that. We enjoyed walking around the property, swimming in the pool, grilling and driving around the surrounding areas. Our daughter-in-law and two grandkids joined us for part of the stay. I would definitely go back to this rental.

Great Family Gettaway

We loved it! We stayed four nights in September. Had some weather complications but, despite the weather we had a great stay. The place was so nicely decorated and super cozy. It was just a short walk down to the playground, pool and beach area at the lake. Our son, who is almost 3, loved the playground and loved the beach area. It was very convenient being able to just walk out the door and down the short path to everything. We will definitely stay here again!

Nice place to stay

Everything was as in the pictures. The only thing that I did notice was that there was no tv in the bedroom. The condo was clean and had all the kitchen essentials I needed. Nice little get away and the beach area was nice to visit. Had a good time here with my family. Just need to update the pool code. Would definitely come back to the same place to visit again!!

Cute Condo with Great Access to Lake LBJ

My family had a quick visit to Marble Falls this summer and we were happy we had found this cute 1 bedroom condo. It was a little confusing finding the beach access part of the property, but once we did we enjoyed a dip in the water. Very cool property feature! The condo had everything we needed. I would suggest updating the chaise lounge chair in the living room - it looks ready to retire. Besides that, all was well!

Thank you for your review. We have since updated the chaise lounge chair with a new one. Thanks for letting us know where we could improve our condo's appeal.
