Peaceful and tasteful getaway

Redfish Retreat is comfortable and well appointed with everything needed for a perfect stay. We know that it will always be clean, attractive and fishing will be fun . The covered dock and outdoor kitchen are great bonuses. We will always choose Redfish for our getaways.

Very peaceful and quiet.

We enjoyed our week here, the location was very peaceful and quiet. The house overall was lovely, very clean and well managed. We had a little bit of a rough start when we arrived where someone was staying there that we were unaware of but the rest of the week was wonderful. Overall we would stay here again.

Spring break getaway

The house was perfect for what we were looking for. Fishing off the dock, beautiful sunsets, close to stores, restaurants, and beaches. The house was clean and cozy. My only complaint is the lack of communication from the property manager. I had messaged several times with no response. Other than that, we very much loved our stay and would definitely visit again!

Nice rental in Crystal Beach

Let me start my review by saying that we owned a large vacation rental on Lake LBJ for 4 years, and that it is not easy. This property is managed by Vacasa, and my review was also left on that site, but has not been published. The good things about the property is there is plenty of parking, the fishing dock and the screened patio downstairs is a huge plus. We caught several fish on the fishing dock and even saw an alligator. The living room furniture is very comfortable and the kitchen is large and spacious. There is plenty of cabinet space, countertop space, and a large pantry. I would suggest a drip coffee maker to be added Also, you are provided with one roll of paper towels, a few rolls of toilet paper, and two dishiwasher pods - enough for about 2 days The oven cooks uneven, so beware. Here's the rub - this is totally on Vacasa - the place is not clean. The grill was greasy and the catch tray was half full which caught on fire. The lights over the bar were greasy, the spice drawer was a huge mess with spilled spices, all the drawers were unorganized, the cabinet fronts were filthy, copious sand under the living room rug, hall bath was moldy, the quilts in the bedrooms desperately need to be washed (no blankets provided, so no choice but to use them), there were no remotes to the fans downstairs in the screened porch. We cleaned the lights, wiped down the cabinet fronts and pantry, pulled up the rug & swept. Raw sewage was bubbling up by driveway.

Weekend Get-Away

Went with Daughter and her family (kids 8 and 5). The kids loved fishing from the dock. The home was clean well-furnished and in a good location. Would definitely rent this home again.

Absolutely stunning property! The view was stunning the home was breathtaking! Every aspect we couldn't be more pleased with. I can't thank the property manager enough. The check in process was so simple. More relaxing and inviting ambience than I could describe in words. Every aspect of our stay was perfection to say the least
