Everything was nice and clean and comfortable. Walking distance to dog park, beach area and pools as well as drive into town. There is a wasps nest in back porch which prevented us from sitting out in balcony. Very pet friendly and easy and fast communication responses from hosts. We had a wonderful, relaxing time. Will visit again for sure.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Clean, spacious, and confortable

Everything very clean. Lovely, updated decor. Bed and couch super comfy. Well-stocked kitchen. Quiet top floor end unit. Sandy beach was great fun for my grandkids when they visited for the afternoon. (I would just not recommend for the advertised 6-person capacity unless you bring your own additional cots or mattresses to add to the regular bed and one blowup bed provided - there's plenty of floor space for multiple cots. Sofa will only sleep one.)

Okay

We were disappointed it wasn't close to any of the cities, everything seemed like a far drive. The property was beautiful but the bed was very uncomfortable and the tv selection was lacking. Also the dumpster was pretty far whith only a small trash can inside. Overall the stay was good just probably wont be back.
