Cozy and comfortable. Lakeview from back yard and patio added sense of spaciousness and serenity. The location was good for our purposes and close to the beautiful Pace Bend Park.

Very convenient to the park and access to Lake Travis. Sitting on the patio listening to the band at the Lighthouse Friday night was perfect. The house is on the older side, but they had everything we needed to make an easy dinner and hangout with 4 kids under the age of 8.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear the location worked perfectly for your trip, especially being close to the park and Lake Travis. Sitting on the patio and listening to the Lighthouse band sounds like a wonderful way to spend a Friday night!
We also appreciate your note about the home being older, and we’re happy to hear it still had everything you needed for a relaxing evening and a fun stay with the kids. We’d love to welcome you and your family back again!
The backyard is a great place to gather, we played cornhole and watched the deer. It felt secluded and peaceful but close to restaurants, shopping and entertainment. We visited with family in Austin and it was an easy short drive. Will definitely visit again.

Julia and the rest were absolutely wonderful guests to host. I just knew that my home was in good hands with them. Thank you for staying at Marina Vista.
Looks bigger in the pictures but still it is a conformable place. Located right next door to the marina which is a big plus.

Place was very clean and well stocked. View of the lake was amazing. Nice big backyard area that was secluded from any neighbors. Darlene was very responsive and helpful.
Quite with comfortable beds. Great place to relax and spend time with family. Although we did use it, there is a fantastic deck with a gas grill. Very nice property.

It's also great to know that the air conditioning worked well, ensuring a comfortable stay. Thank you for sharing your positive impressions, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
This is a hard review to write..we stayed here the weekend of July 4, 2025 watching the tragedy unfold not too far away in Hunt, Ingram, and Kerrville. So our trip was a little less celebratory. The house, though, accommodated us all very well as we were inside the whole stay due to rain. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were, great sleep was had by all. We cooked every meal and had plenty of pots/pans ect. Cute little house and would stay again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, especially during what was clearly a difficult and emotional weekend. We’re truly sorry that your trip coincided with such a tragic situation in the nearby communities, and we appreciate you spending your time with us despite the circumstances.
We’re glad to hear that the house provided comfort while you stayed indoors and that everyone enjoyed the beds and found the kitchen well-equipped for cooking meals together. It means a lot to know the space helped support you during a challenging visit.
Thank you again for your kind words about the home. We’d be honored to welcome you back under brighter circumstances.
The yard was everything. We really enjoyed hanging out in the backyard. Super close to alot of fun activities. We went to Pace Bend Park that was literally three miles away and only about 40mins from Austin.

Nice location
The house is a bit outdated, but it was okay. The back porch was nice and had a small view of the water. If you have kids, just know there’s a restaurant on the other side with loud live music that goes until about 10 p.m. We saw bugs in the shower and around the house. It also rained while we were there, and there were several leaks inside.

Me, my partner, and friends stayed for a wedding we were attending in Spicewood. The house was charming & had a beautiful backyard & view of the marina. We enjoyed the privacy of the home & the beautiful deck set to enjoy the cooler evening weather. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the home & all of the sleeping options. The host was very responsive & kind. Would definitely stay here again!
