About this property

Welcome to Little La Jolla Resort, a luxury destination for special occasions.

Welcome to Little La Jolla Resort!

Hello, my name is Kenny, and my wife is Stephanie.

Some places you visit. Others become part of your story.

Welcome to Little La Jolla Resort—a private luxury destination unlike anything else in Texas.

From the moment you arrive, you realize this isn't simply another luxury home or vacation rental. It is an experience thoughtfully designed for life's most unforgettable celebrations.

Whether you're gathering lifelong friends for a bachelorette weekend, exchanging vows surrounded by family, celebrating a milestone birthday, or simply escaping with the people who matter most, Little La Jolla was created for moments that deserve something extraordinary.

Guests travel from across the United States—and around the world—to experience what can only be described as a private boutique resort. Set on 1.5 acres of meticulously manicured grounds, every path, garden, and viewpoint has been designed to inspire conversation, connection, and memories that last a lifetime.

The centerpiece of the estate is our breathtaking million-dollar pool house and signature resort-style pool. Relax beneath the spectacular three-sided rain grotto, enjoy cocktails at the swim-up bar, gather around the sunken cabana, unwind in the oversized spa, or simply take in the panoramic Hill Country views as the palms sway overhead and vibrant bougainvillea blooms surround you.

Inside, the custom six-bedroom estate blends refined luxury with warm hospitality, creating spaces that are equally suited for intimate conversations, lively celebrations, and peaceful mornings overlooking the Texas Hill Country.

Perfectly located just four miles from Lake Travis and only twenty-five minutes from downtown Austin, guests enjoy the best of both worlds—private resort-style seclusion with effortless access to boating, golf, wineries, shopping, world-class dining, and Austin's legendary nightlife.

Little La Jolla Resort has become one of the country's premier destinations for luxury bachelorette weekends, with more than 25% of our guests traveling from across the nation to celebrate here. It has also become one of Texas' most sought-after venues for intimate destination weddings, where couples and their families enjoy unforgettable two- and three-day celebrations together instead of just a few fleeting hours.

Our greatest luxury isn't the incredible amenities—it's the memories created here. Every laugh around the pool. Every toast beneath the stars. Every sunrise with family. Every celebration shared with lifelong friends.

This is more than a vacation. More than a venue. More than a luxury estate.

This is Little La Jolla Resort.

We are the ultimate destination for:

• Bachelorette Birthday Parties/Small Weddings

• Corporate Events

• Small Weddings

• Family Reunions

• Major Milestone Birthdays

• Children’s Birthday Parties

And once you've experienced it, nowhere else quite compares.Guests claim that there is nothing quite like Little La Jolla Resort! The first thing they say upon arrival is that the pictures simply do not do it justice.

"Make sure you view all the photos to see your special occasion"

Stay at Little La Jolla

We had a wonderful time at Little La Jolla! Ken, our host, was great about reaching out ahead of time to make sure that we had everything we needed. Then, upon check-in, he was there to greet us and show us around the property, explaining all of the "ins and outs" of the place. Both the Main House and the Club House were beautifully furnished and very spacious. The views were outstanding! Wonderful way to spend NYE!! Thank you, Ken!

Bachelorette Party Weekend

We came to Kenny's Little La Jolla home for a bachelorette party for a group of 11 women. This place is breathtakingly beautiful! The home is gorgeous and spacious with wonderful views and the pool area is like a tropical paradise. We all had the most wonderful time. Kenny was the perfect host and helped us with the music for our pool party and made himself available to assist us with all our needs. I would recommend Little La Jolla to anyone and we hope to return soon.

We now have had 7 Bachelorette parties. but we've never had one with the with the parents hosting the party. The future bride, wanted her mother to host. This is unheard of and a tribute to the respect, adoration and love those girls had for the parents. It's all about family and they treated our Little Lajolla as if it was their own... Simply awesome! Shana - you and yours are always welcome!

Phenomenal Weekend

Ken was hands down an amazing host! He showed us every little detail. He checked in on us, if we had a question he was quick to respond or just come show us. His place is comparable to a mini resort. The pool is amazing with lots of places to hang out in it. The pool house was beautiful with plenty of room to cater our needs. I can’t wait to visit again. Jen Cagle

LUCKY MAN - Each and everyone of them will always be welcome back. They were always smiling, and we knew that we could turn Little La Jolla over to them and never have to worry about anything. They all took the time to pick up thoroughly before they checked out. Come back any time Jen!

The best stay in Austin

Ken was the most accommodating host. He went above and beyond what is expected of a regular short-term rental. We were fully stocked with water, eggs, sausage, bacon, coffee, and fresh OJ. Wow, who does that!? We had coffee and the balcony in the morning, drinks poolside in the evening. Enjoyed sonos speakers for my music, there are just so many things to list. If you rent this, I guarantee YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

40th Birthday Celebration

Our group had a lovely time spending an extended weekend at this property. The STR consist of the private club house (pool area) and house. Little LaJolla was enjoyable for all (6 couples, 12 adults). The house and location provided easy access to downtown, Lake Travis, and other surrounding areas. Ken was a great host and the pool amenities and clubhouse has everything you would need to enjoy outdoor living. The bacon and eggs along with many more stocked items were great to have throughout the duration of our stay. Kenny was very responsive to any needs that would arise during our stay. Little LaJolla provided some lasting memories with some dear friends to celebrate our 40th birthday.

Yearly Golf Trip

To start off, we had 16 guys come out to Austin for the first time for a golf trip. We had a great time and the majority of it was because of the house and Ken. When we showed up, Ken had everything ready to go and took us on a tour of the property so that we knew where everything was and guys weren’t waisting their time later on trying to find things. Ken also made sure that we had one guy with a phone hooked up to the entertainment system so that we could play music throughout the pool house whenever we were down there, which was 90% of the time. He also would always check in to see if we needed anything or ways he could help. The house location was great for food, as we catered from a different restaurant each night. The house easily slept 16 to and had plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Overall, the house was wonderful and we definitely plan on going back soon!

Michael and his group are always welcome back. I was jealous of the fact they were able 72 holes of golf in around 32 hours.They were a collective group of men ranging from late 20's - 65 and it was like they were all soul mates. They were also a group that I wish I could have hung out with because they were so cool and friendly. Hence i wanted to give them their privacy and space. They are always welcome back and hope to get to know them better.! Ps.. buying a new set of Pings because of them! !

Little La Jolla is the bomb!

As a wedding gift my dad booked and surprised me with this incredible place for my bachelorette party. My maid of honor and him teamed up to ensure this weekend was special and to say I was speechless was an understatement! She mentioned Ken., the host made the whole booking experience seamless for them. Pulling up to the home my JAW DROPPED, because of how beautiful the home looked and all the greenery and view! Upon arrival we did run into the host, and he was so helpful as there is a lot to navigate. It felt very private even though he Stephanie do live in a motorhome on-site. Plus, he was only a text or phone call away when we were setting up the sound system or had questions. As for the interior & rooms: The entire place was spotless and felt so luxurious. I can’t describe how relaxing and fun it was staying there. It felt like a resort. (All of the beds are super comfortable too which is a plus) The pool is like a resort pool, and we had so much fun using the swim up bar! My friends also loved using the hot tub in the morning time as well. I want to find another excuse to come back! If you’re looking for the best experience and memories, I highly recommend this place! Thank you again for everything! -Drew E

Stunning Escape

This is without a doubt one of the best properties we have stayed at in Austin, Texas. Many of the homes in ATX, while beautiful, are on small lots limiting the outdoor fun. Not the case with this house -It is a massive property (essentially 2 lots)- with a pool house below the main house that includes a full kitchen, gorgeous shower area, bathrooms and massive seating areas. It would be hard to list all the amenities of this property. Some of the highlights are plenty of parking, an amazing grill, pool cabana, stunning pool house, sunken grill pit/bar at pool, multiple outdoor seating areas, massive grass area for games, TV's indoor and out, a hot tub, outdoor speaker system and a beautiful view. It is ideal for entertaining. The owner deals with you directly (no management company) and he handles everything quickly as he is on property. He went above and beyond to assist our group and has thought of everything before you even show up. The kitchens (that's right, plural) have everything you need for amazing meals, including two large refrigerators, 3 dishwashers and state of the art cooktops. We mostly ate in since we didn't want to leave. This house is also great for groups because the pool house is completely separate allowing for the main house to serve as a restful place should you need it. I could go on and on, but you will not be disappointed. We can not wait to go back!!! Definitely 5 star property*****

Inaccurate Listing: BEWARE

I ultimately was very disappointed with the rental. Nowhere in the listing does it mention that the owner will be staying on the property the entire time. Not only does the owner stay on the property, but he stays in an RV in the driveway of the main house and asks you not to use the driveway so he can. He insists that he meets you at check-in to hand over keys, but there are no actual keys to give. Instead, he wants to show you around the property and literally grab your phone to hook up to Bluetooth; all things that could have easily been included in the manual. I found this very uncomfortable. He also left his wallet, open computer and drink sitting on the desk inside the pool clubhouse after check-in not picking up his personal items to barge in the next am. The owner comes onto the property and inside the clubhouse every single morning. He says it is to clean the pool and use his desk inside the pool clubhouse; NONE of which was mentioned in the listing. I found this to be extremely disturbing. I came down one morning in my pajamas to find him still inside. He had gone around the clubhouse picking up our belongings and “gathering them”. To be clear, this was a bachelorette trip with only females, one of which was pumping/breastfeeding and another pregnant, so privacy was something that was very much needed. The owner came down one evening to the pool bringing down photos(??) to his desk area and proceeded to linger around the pool clubhouse talking to guests. One of my guests woke up and saw other owner inside the garage running on the treadmill. Why did I pay money to use the property when I am not even able to use the property privately as promised? If I had wanted interaction, I would have stayed at a hotel with a concierge. Furthermore, there is only one entry at the front of the main house. The RV sits in the main driveway and any entry/exit into the main house front door forces you to walk right by the RV. There are no back stairs up the steep hill into the main house. Additionally, the only inside stairwell has a large window with no window treatments with the RV sitting 3 feet away outside staring right in. The whole experience was extremely strange and it really ruined the entire weekend. I was deceived by the listing and stuck in an uncomfortable situation that I had not agreed to. Any complaint made at the time would require direct inappropriate confrontation with the owner looming over us. False advertising!!!

This review is very disheartening. My wife and I have always tried to do our absolute best. (see the 40 5-star reviews) We spent the money and invested in our property to create the ultimate experience. We felt we had achieved the ultimate experience because we have received over 100 5-star reviews on three different booking sites including VRBO, their competition site and the site that you can create a business site that has your family and friends. If you look at the site that has your family and friends, go to messenger and search Little La Jolla Resort. Not only can you see the 5-star review, but you can see their collective group pictures of their fun with each review. These pics are awesome. What is funny, the very next week, we had another bachelorette party, - from Chicago. Boy what a difference a group makes. This booking was booked in December of ’21. I immediately reached to find out the nature of the booking and to explain the lay of the land. I always do this. I was burned on a previous booking 2 years ago. I was lied to and the group explained their would be `4 people, but we woke up to having 65 people In our home. They were doing drugs in every room, trashing the place damaged the property. We were traumatized. So, we always vet the guests to make sure we are a fit both ways. I finally heard from Rachel a couple of weeks before the stay, and at that time I did explain that we lived on site in a motor home, and my wife and I managed the property, and we were the front desk. The guests mentioned that one evening I barged in. that is not the truth. The morning before checkout I received a text from Ellie, one of her friends that the volume on the Sonos system was fading in and out. I explained I was on the road and when I got back I would comedown and see what the issue was. When I went to check it out, (I did not barge in and it was a good thing I went down) one of the girls went into the music setting and changed the controls and the music and the base had been moved to the highest setting and was so loud I was alarmed because I knew I would get in trouble with the neighbors. And that night I received a text from my neighbor that the base was vibrating their bed. If I had not been on location, we would not have a short-term rental permit. Lastly, I want to address the checkout morning. I explained several times that clubhouse hours were 8am to 2 am. I use the time before 8 to garden, remove trash and pick up, especially after a bachelore

Very Nice house

We staid in Villa La Jolla during Christmas this year. the Main house was spacious enough for the 12 of us. The whole house is very well furnished with beautiful views into surrounding countryside. We were lucky that the weather was good (from 60 in the morning to 80 in the afternoon) so we could use the clubhouse and the pool. Both are astounding and my family enjoyed its stay. Ken and his wife are very helpful and answered quickly to all our requests. I highly recommend Villa la Jolla if you plan to stay in Austin.

Fantastic Home in Austin

This is truly a dream home. The house is spacious, with new/updated finishings, a new, fully equipped kitchen, media room, comfortable living room and large-screen TVs everywhere. The house alone would be a great place to stay. Separate from the house is an amazing private pool house with an enormous chef's kitchen, Sonos sound system (music everywhere), foosball and ping pong tables and a spectacular pool with multiple hangouts, as well as an outdoor bar with a large TV. The design and decor of the entire property is superb, and the view is beautiful. The hosts, Kenny and Stephanie, are wonderful people and made sure our stay was 100%. We cannot wait to return.

The BEST Vacation Spot

My group was looking for a place where we wouldn’t have to leave the house too often, especially in light of COVID. That was made very easy by the beauty and truly fun nature of this house. My friends and I never ran out of anything to do while staying at the house, and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Kenny was a fantastic host and made sure that every need of ours was met, and then some. A truly amazing time was had by all of the guests that stayed with me, and we certainly hope to be back at sometime in the future.

Best kept secret in Austin

By far the best property we have booked. My wife held her sister's bachelorette party at this property. Kenny and Stephanie went above and beyond for the girls. She said it is a great location right in the middle of everything , but there's really no need to ever leave the property. Definitely a rental that is worth the money. She didn't want to leave, but will definitely be back in the future.

Resort Style Getaway

We had our cousins retreat at Little La Jolla, and couldn’t have been more please with the property. Its views, landscaping, peacefulness, and charm was amazing. The pool and amenities are resort style and high class. Ken was a great host and helped with check in process, and any questions we had during our stay. I would recommend to any groups looking for a peaceful getaway, with a great pool / pool house. The house was also amazing with all amenities needed.

Lets just say that Britt and his friend were the best, and I meant it. Felt like family, and they were so cool and they left Little La Jolla just like they found it. Britt, hope to see you next year. You guys were amazing!

Welcome to Little La Jolla Resort!

Hello, my name is Kenny, and my wife is Stephanie.

Some places you visit. Others become part of your story.

Welcome to Little La Jolla Resort—a private luxury destination unlike anything else in Texas.

From the moment you arrive, you realize this isn't simply another luxury home or vacation rental. It is an experience thoughtfully designed for life's most unforgettable celebrations.

Whether you're gathering lifelong friends for a bachelorette weekend, exchanging vows surrounded by family, celebrating a milestone birthday, or simply escaping with the people who matter most, Little La Jolla was created for moments that deserve something extraordinary.

Guests travel from across the United States—and around the world—to experience what can only be described as a private boutique resort. Set on 1.5 acres of meticulously manicured grounds, every path, garden, and viewpoint has been designed to inspire conversation, connection, and memories that last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

The centerpiece of the estate is our breathtaking million-dollar pool house and signature resort-style pool. Relax beneath the spectacular three-sided rain grotto, enjoy cocktails at the swim-up bar, gather around the sunken cabana, unwind in the oversized spa, or simply take in the panoramic Hill Country views as the palms sway overhead and vibrant bougainvillea blooms surround you.

Inside, the custom six-bedroom estate blends refined luxury with warm hospitality, creating spaces that are equally suited for intimate conversations, lively celebrations, and peaceful mornings overlooking the Texas Hill Country.

Perfectly located just four miles from Lake Travis and only twenty-five minutes from downtown Austin, guests enjoy the best of both worlds—private resort-style seclusion with effortless access to boating, golf, wineries, shopping, world-class dining, and Austin's legendary nightlife.

Little La Jolla Resort has become one of the country's premier destinations for luxury bachelorette weekends, with more than 25% of our guests traveling from across the nation to celebrate here. It has also become one of Texas' most sought-after venues for intimate destination weddings, where couples and their families enjoy unforgettable two- and three-day celebrations together instead of just a few fleeting hours.

This is more than a vacation. More than a venue. More than a luxury estate.

This is Little La Jolla Resort.

We are the ultimate destination for:

• Bachelorette Birthday Parties/Small Weddings

• Corporate Events

• Small Weddings

• Family Reunions

• Major Milestone Birthdays

• Children’s Birthday Parties

And once you've experienced it, nowhere else quite compares.Guests claim that there is nothing quite like Little La Jolla Resort! The first thing they say upon arrival is that the pictures simply do not do it justice.

"Make sure you view all the photos to see your special occasion"

What makes this property unique
