Villa Blanca is a BEAUTIFUL and very spacious home which worked very well for our family vacation. 5 spacious bedrooms and many sleep couches available for sleeping. The patio, yard, and double decker dock were ideal for hanging out. The property manager met us for check in and immediately answered my questions throughout our stay. I recommend this location HIGHLY for anyone who wants a special (and luxurious) family get away!

Fantastic waterfront house in the best location on Lake Austin. Could not have had a better experience. Beautiful views from about every part of the house. We really enjoyed siting on the covered patio above the dock with a birds eye view of the cool Pennybacker/360 bridge and the numerous birds flying by. Great neighborhood for walks also.

Cute cottage

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Close enough to town, without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Staying by the water was very nice. Very comfortable, with all the needed amenities.

Labor Day weekend get away

My wife and I had a wonderful time at the lake cottage. We grilled and cooked every day/evening. Although the grill isn’t in the best shape, it did great! The stove and oven worked excellent and had a surplus of cooking utensils. The location was perfect and thanks to Jerry, we were able to rent a boat for the entire weekend at a very affordable price. Communication with Dennis, the property manager, was smooth and easy. He seemed to be readily available if needed, luckily, we did not! Overall great stay. Thanks Jerry.

At Home on Lake Austin

My wife grew up in Austin so when she said she wanted to visit her family for her birthday I looked for a location where we could be close to all that Austin has to offer (and that is a LOT) but also have a nice relaxing vacation experience close to the lake where she grew up and has so many fond memories. Well, we found it with this very sweet cottage right on Lake Austin. Members of her family came by to visit us and all of them couldn't believe what a beautiful place we had found that was secluded from the town noise and traffic and yet so close. The owners were extremely gracious in providing the ammenities - including bringing in a bigger sofa bed for my brother and sister-in-law to stay over - aa well as making sure we had plenty of gas for the grill plus ping pong, horseshoes and floaty toys for our neices, nephews and even the newest great niece. (Please be sure to let the owners know ahead of time if you will be having visitors and also to register any overnight guests) The cottage is very clean and even though it is small there are all of the features needed for a comfortable home-like stay with sleeping for up to 4 people and indoor and outdoor seating for more visitors. Short day trips to downtown, restaurants and to visit friends was so easy from this central location but we ended up spending most of our week simply enjoying the beautiful lake, water craft, wildlife including swans and even a bald eagle. The covred boat dock with shaded upper deck was a great place to watch sunrises and sunsets plus a few naps in the quiet breeze. We absolutely will recommend this property to family and friends - as long as we can still reserve a time slot to go back ourselves which we plan to do again and again.

We were glad to make your stay a memorable one. Thanks so much and Happy Holidays! The Petersons

Nice location. House not ready for renters. Owners stuff everywhere, not well organized, boxes, trash in various places, drawers not organized, no instructions in house for everything, WiFi tricky, more like a house where the owner stepped away for a couple of days. Horrendous decor

Summertime Lakefront Serendipity

What started off as a one month stay, grew to me staying for four months time. This quaint, little cottage filled me with joy, sunshine, easy lake access, friendly neighborhoods and endless memories. The property manager and owner were especially wonderful to deal with. Whenever I needed anything at all, they were quick to solve and always extremely friendly. Truth be told, this place felt like home. It’s quiet and peaceful to relax lake side, Or if you want to join the summer festivities you can cross towards party cove directly from the boat dock. All in all, I highly recommend staying here.

Great Waterfront place for it's price, boat dock, location, and views of the lake.

It's getting harder and harder to find affordable, waterfront rentals close to downtown. And, even harder if you want a place with a boat dock you can tie up to. This place fits the bill and it is super easy to get to(just off of Hwy 360). The 2 couches in the pictures have been replaced with a new "L" shaped sectional with a foldout bed. I don't like foldouts but found this one to be very comfortable as it has a new tempur-pedic mattress on it. This house has a full sized hot water heater and plenty of water pressure. It is an older home but very well maintained and was very clean when we arrived. We would stay again and would recommend it to others for it's price, boat dock, location, and great views of the lake.

Nice Location Poor Plumbing No Privacy

We arrived on Thursday at 3pm. It was apparent that they were not ready for us. There were workers on the property working on the docks. They had steeI beams on the basketball court with cut off pieces every where. There was a tall water sprinkler going in the yard. If fact the sprinkler was on for over 14 hours. We noticed that people were cutting across the property to go to the dock. When asked what relationship they had with the property they said the they were dropped off there to be picked up. Turns out the so called owner of the property allowed friends and other sub-leasers to use the doc and cut though the yard at any time of day . Oh yeah, at 11pm the maintenance guy who lives next door comes out and start burning down a bush. Flames were so high the he had to move the sprinkler over to help control the fire. Oh yeah did I mention that there was no water pressure in the house which ment no running water in the sinks and no shower and the toilets only flushed in the morning. I should have mentioned that there was no clear instructions about how to turn on the space heaters. so we were cold all night. No instruction how to watch the ATT Universe cable. We really didn't need the TV but it would have been nice to have instructions how to use it if we choose to watch it. There were many stray dogs the kept coming in the house begging for food. I mean at least 5 dogs. Turns out the they live about a mile down the road. This place is cute. It is in a good location. There are just too many things wrong with this listing to give it more that a 3 star rating.. Sometimes a picture doesn't tell the whole story. I would rent it again if they got all the bugs worked out like toliets that flush and water that runs.

Best views and amenities!

I stayed in the Lake Austin waterfront cabin for 25 days in Dec/Jan. The weather varied from the high 60’s to a rare snowfall on my last day. You have a nice view of the lake from your living area, but the best spot is on the upper deck of the boat dock which has a covered area, and an open area over the water with a chiminea to build a fire. Everyone was friendly and everything was as advertised, but pictures can’t really do the views Justice. Hope to be back for future assignments.

Works Well

Amazing location. Dock and waterfront are gorgeous. House is Tony. Grown people will have issues with the shower. Heat has two settings: nuclear inferno or off. Vines growing through bathroom windows. House was clean and has what you need, if thats basic. One bed and couches aren't really for sleeping. This place worked great for my son and I as we could share a bed. Price and availability for F1 weekend were the selling point. Wouldn't rent again. Sort of smells like damp but quite clean and efficient if your solo or really like who you are with.

Cozy Cabin

Very dated building. Not what you would pay for a 1 bedroom cabin. Incredibly tiny bathroom. Furniture was old and had pet mats on them. House was musty upon arrival and had to be aired out. Best part was they had all the TV channels you want or need.

Anniversary trip

You can’t beat the beautiful lake side location with boathouse deck we didn’t want to leave. Sitting out there for morning coffee, afternoon leisure or evening sunsets looking toward the 360 Bridge was the draw to this property. Constant entertainment from boats of all kinds and hydro-foil boards passing by made this a real escape. As others have noted, this is a lake house and not a 5 star hotel experience. It is a bit overpriced in our VRBO renting experience, but there are no other options with that boathouse. The coffee maker was top notched, kitchen well equipped for our needs and the bed comfy. Plenty of beach towels for enjoying the water. The location just next to the Austin Country Club makes for a lovely drive in and out of the property. Great restaurants are nearby. Jack Allen’s Kitchen Sunday brunch was a real treat and on the corner as you leave 360 to enter the neighborhood. A few things need repair and the owner says he’s working on that. It was fun meeting Jerry (owner who lives next door) who was ever so welcoming as he answered our questions.

Was okay but will not return

Very small house. Bed in the bedroom is good but the sofa bed is TERRIBLE. The couches have stains and the pillows slide out so you cant even sleep on the couch. There is a septic smell in the whole house that is pretty foul. there were small flying bugs all over the house, in cabinets, in the bathroom, closet area, etc. There were many tripping hazards in the lawn area so if you have little ones, I would not recommend.

A disappointment

I splurged to afford the cost per night. The little cottage is outdated and cockroaches greeted us on our arrival and stayed as did many inside moths. Clumps of bugs were on the deck chairs. Unsafe railing wobbled as I got in and out of the kayak (we cleaned.). Broken screen door. Broken door. Outdated welcome pack. I wish I could rate it high because the view from the dock and area was great. I am certain we could have found a better splurge.

Great Austin cottage getaway

The location of this cottage is incredible! We felt very safe being tucked away in a very nice neighborhood. Being right on the lake, with access to kayaks and paddle boards, made our stay relaxing yet active. This is a perfect place to end the night after being out on the water all day, walk-in around downtown Austin, or spending the day hiking at Barton Creek.
