**PLEASE read the Important Notices at the end of this description before doing a “BOOK NOW”!!

*** INSTANT BOOKING POLICY: Guest must contact the Reservation Manager PRIOR to Instant Booking to allow us to discuss any questions you might have and to find out if you and your group will comply with the house rules for this property WITHOUT your credit card being charged.****



Welcome to The Cottage at Paradise Cove!

DESCRIPTION: Main home has 3 bedrooms with 2 baths and large covered dining/lounge area with windows across the back for outstanding lake views. There is also a separate guest house "casita" that has a primary suite with bathroom, small kitchenette, tv and washer/dryer.

AMENITIES: Beautiful pool (pool is NOT HEATED), spa/hot tub, covered kitchen & lounge area, fire pit. Pool umbrellas no longer available. There is NO boat dock on this property.

LOCATION: Great location with proximity to Austin (22 miles from Austin Downtown), Lakeway, and the Texas Hill Country. Only 2 miles from JUST FOR FUN, a boat rental facility. Lake Travis: This home is located in Paradise Cove on a beautiful area of Lake Travis, near Devil's Cove.

The Cottage at Paradise Cove is the perfect getaway for small families, close friends and intimate special occasions. With its beautiful outdoor setting of huge, mature trees and the Lake Travis waterfront views, the home fits seamlessly with its stone and wood interior. The interior of the home is warm with the fine furnishings, wood and stone touches, and provides a very comfortable setting while you stay indoors. However, with two great outdoor spaces, both the swimming pool/spa/outdoor living area that is in front of the home, and the beautiful backyard with huge shade trees and expansive views of Lake Travis, you might not want to spend much time inside.

A great lakefront getaway!!

This property has charm and potential, but several significant issues prevented our stay from matching what was advertised.On the positive side, the home offers decent lake views, although it is located directly behind a large commercial boat dock. The main house and casita are charming, and the property was well stocked with towels, cooking utensils, and cookware, which we appreciated.Unfortunately, multiple core amenities that influenced our booking were not usable during our stay. The pool and hot tub were not operational and were in very poor condition, with heavy debris, dirt, leaves, and visible layers of powdered chlorine/shock. These amenities were a primary reason we chose this property, and they were never cleaned or repaired despite communication with the host.In addition, the internet and cable TV were completely unavailable for approximately 24 hours, which significantly impacted our stay. We booked this property specifically to enjoy the location, relax by the pool and hot tub, and watch the New Year’s Eve ball drop and college football on New Year’s Day, none of which was possible due to the outages.The outdoor areas were not maintained, with piles of leaves throughout the sitting areas and spiders and spider webs covering all outdoor furniture. Several wooden fences were broken, and inside the house there were noticeable maintenance issues, including unplugged upstairs TVs with no extension cords, non-functioning light switches, missing bulbs, and flic

This house was perfect for my bachelorette weekend. The perfect amount of space and such a cozy home. It was so nice to be right on the lake and have the pool. We were able to walk to the marina since we rented a boat for a day. Jackie was so responsive whenever I had to contact her, which was only once!

We had an absolutely phenomenal time at The Cottage! Photos don’t do the property justice — it’s truly a dream. We appreciated how well appointed the home was and were incredibly grateful for the hosts flexibility with check-in/ check-out times. The house is just next to the marina, which makes a boat day on Lake Travis a breeze! Highly recommend The Cottage and hope to visit again soon!

This is the absolute best location I’ve ever stayed at on Lake Travis. The house was absolutely darling. We went with a group of girlfriends for a birthday and it could not have been more perfect. The pool in the outdoor kitchen is incredible. There was a separate cottage. The bunk room was a perfect!. I have nothing negative to say about this house and I cannot wait to go back.

Great Place on the Lake

We enjoyed our two-night stay at this lake house. We also booked a boat for the day that left from the Paradise Cove Marina which we could walk to, so the location is convenient if you're looking to get out on a boat. The owner responded quickly to any questions post-check-in, which I appreciated. The only "negative" is that if you're sleeping in the casita, there was a pretty constant sound (day and night) that sounded like a mechanical squeal. It could be a one-off thing, but it was happening at all hours. I would stay again, but ask if that sound had been resolved. The house was cute and clean and great for a group of 8 - 11 people who are looking for a lake retreat!

Bachelorette Fun!

We stayed here August 31, 2024. Location was pretty easy to get to, the house is beautiful, and there was plenty of space for 14 of us. The host was QUICK to respond to any questions and was highly accommodating and understanding. We stayed 2 nights and it was so much fun. The space really helped make the weekend memorable.

Beautiful views!

Very refreshing to stay here! Loved the pool and the backyard, although no swing was a let down. The listing does state that some things may be changed from the photos and several things we different, like the cute decor outside was not there so that was a little disappointing. Love the views from the upstairs bedrooms. The stairs to the upstairs are STEEP and further apart than normal stairs so it was a challenge for some in our group to get up and down. The gate the exit the property did not work. The sprinklers are the front of the property ran the entire duration of our stay which was hitting the exit keypad, so not sure if that interfered, but one in party had to jump the fence to open the gate- memories! Despite how busy the beach got behind the house, you couldn't hear anything inside the house which was nice. The back patio/enclosed area was delightful! The houses (main and cabin) had everything you could need. There were a few dead bugs so picking up dead roaches upon arrival is not the most welcoming site, but overall would stay here again.

Family Getaway

After our annual family trip to Galveston was canceled due to Hurricane Beryl, we decided we needed to find a place where all 13 of us could gather to have a little fun in the sun, and a little relaxation. We searched VRBO for a place with a pool and found this gem! The title says it all: LOCATION! Our stay was from Sunday - Thursday, and we pretty much had the entire area to ourselves! It was very peaceful and relaxing. The cottage, which was built in the 1940s, was updated, but still maintained all its charm. We had everything we needed (HEB delivered groceries) and we pretty much just stayed in the pool and spa the entire time! We didn’t have any major issues, but any time we reached out to Meika, she responded quickly and was extremely helpful. Thank you, JW Properties and The Cottage at Paradise Cove, for a wonderful experience.

Huge Disappointment!

We were disappointed with the house from the drive in. We had to drive through run down trailer parks and rv housing in order to get into the neighborhood. I felt unsettled and on guard from the second we got close to the house. Here are just a few issues we encountered: - We were welcome by the pool hose soaking us as we walked toward the door. (The pool guy did arrive quickly after I called) - A gecko was on the wall when we walked in. - The loading area to the party boats is right in the backyard. Multiple party buses unloaded, men were peeing all over and its busy because the party buses/shuttles park right behind the house. - When we tried to leave the gate to the driveway would not open or shut. The gate never got fixed and I was jumping over the fence to let the people in and out. - The main gate to the road then broke and I started calling the numbers listed at 7:15 when we couldn’t get the car inside the main gate. I called multiple times but no one replied. I got a call back at 10:30pm with an apology that she had fallen asleep. This caused problem caused us to delay our night out, miss our reservation and was a huge disappointment for our night out for my sisters bachelorette. - The owner did come to check on the gates the next day and was overly kind and accommodating but it had been rough. The housing company agreed to a $200 refund which I have yet to see weeks later. I have called multiple times and left messages with no answers. I would NOT recommend!

Great Space to Relax on Lake Travis for Family and Friends

Overall, our group enjoyed their stay. Meika was easy to reach and communicate with and we enjoyed experiencing Lake Travis! Pros: The home is well kept up... very clean and overall a truly beautiful space. The outdoor space was the highlight! The hot tub was easy to heat. Electronics such as the TV worked / it was easy to use. The kitchen appliances were in good shape (although this home was not nearly as well stocked in terms of pantry items as other VRBO properties I have stayed in... I would suggest at least having olive oil and tin foil!). Clean and updated bathrooms. Great A/C system to keep us all cool. Cons: We had problems with the gates on the property upon arrival and throughout our visit. We were told was attributed to the gate being solar powered. This wasn't that big of a deal except when returning late in the evening to a rural neighborhood with a large party happening down the road with some interesting folks wandering around nearby. Lake levels were low, although this didn't keep us from enjoying the water. This property is right next to a marina where we were able to rent a boat for water access despite public launches being closed. The bunk beds are very noisy... our friends managed, but it was difficult for people to sleep comfortably when each time someone rolled over and the bunk bed made a sound. Overall we were happy with the space! Thank you!

Great girls weekend spot

I booked the place for a girls weekend and we had a great time. The property is huge and the pool/outdoor space are great for groups. The kitchen is on the smaller side for a larger group, but the outdoor grill area helps to make up for it, so we didn’t have any issues making it work. We loved the sunroom for coffee and dinners and the outdoor casita was great for the two pregnant ladies in our group who wanted to hit the hay a bit earlier. Meika was great to work with and super communicative about the property ahead of time. Great experience!

Quaint and Updated

This home is cute, clean and has been very nicely updated. The property managers are exceptionally attentive and very accommodating. 5+ stars for JW Properties!!! Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen and pool are much smaller than the pictures depict, but are nice. The thing that was most disappointing were horribly uncomfortable beds. For the amount paid to stay here, one would expect a more comfortable and restful nights sleep. The Casita is charming and cozy and the outdoor kitchen and seating were enjoyable. The Wi-Fi worked great and the boat rental on the shore in front of the house was a bonus.
