The balcony view is gorgeous and a lovely place to relax. The driveway down is crazy steep. If you dont have 4-wheel drive, park at the top and take the stairs down. The hotwater heater near the master bedroom was very loud and came on periodically throughout the night. The hosts were notified. Overall, it was a beautiful house and we would stay here again.notified
Neighborhood was so peaceful. Being right on the water was even better. The house had plenty of everything we needed for a four nights stay. I would definitely stay again.
Beautiful Property, But the Driveway Needs a Warning!
This home is absolutely amazing! The views of the lake are breathtaking, and the amenities do not disappoint. The property itself is well-maintained, peaceful, and perfect for a getaway.However, the driveway is dangerously steepâand thatâs an understatement. The property management company simply describes it as "steep," but that doesnât come close to preparing guests for the reality. My Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4-wheel drive couldnât make it back up, and I had to call a tow truck, turning into a three-hour ordeal. Clear instructions should be provided advising guests not to drive down it.Also, be ready for a lot of stairsânot a problem for us, but definitely something to consider.Overall, the property is fantastic, but future guests need a better warning about the driveway situation to avoid the same issue we faced!
We are a family of 7 with kidsâ ages ranging from 14-22 and loved our 3-night stay in early January 2025. We were lucky with the weather so we could enjoy the patios as well as the large kitchen / living space. Could use another place to sleep like a pullout, since teens really donât like to share beds, other than that, well worth the money!
Great location. The only downside was the active construction noise and debris from next door while tying to enjoy the outdoor amenities. Construction workers seem lock eyes on our female guests continously.
Overall good experience. Had issue with management company changing the code then gaslighting me about it. Lack of follow up after issue. No consideration in the aftermath even though it was promised.
We loved the location. Beautiful views of the lake. Nice quiet and comfortable home.
Wished the fireplace worked. No coffee pot lid to keep the coffee warm. Driveway pretty steep so we parked our car above.
We had an incredible time. This property was beautiful inside and outside with incredible views. We loved the multiple levels and activities to do with our family.
We rented this home for about 10 days while in Austin moving our daughter from one place to another. We are from the area and knew what to expect, however, please read the listing thoroughly. Anyone who is not prepared for stairs and a little extra exercise may be in for a surprise. The listing is accurate. My husband was able to back our truck down the driveway to unload on arrival and load for departure. Other than that, we parked at the top of the driveway. Unless you are a skilled driver or have an extremely small car. The driveway is off limits, so please don't even attempt it. My husband has a CDL and it was even difficult for him. That being said, we had no issue since we knew what to expect in advance and appreciate the listing details stating those facts.
The location on Lake Austin is great and so close to one of our favorite restaurants, Ski Shores. View is wonderful. Mornings on the patio drinking coffee and overlooking the lake when it is calm was the best! Property management was also great in helping with questions we had during our stay and being very accommodating with a portable AC unit when the main unit was struggling to keep up with the extreme heat.
The fact that we were able to travel for that length of time with our furbabies was a huge plus as well. The home had everything we could possibly need during the length of our stay. The beds were comfortable. The home was clean. We felt safe and the neighborhood was quiet. Great listing!
We had the great pleasure of staying at Oak Shores for an extended weekend. The house has spectacular views from 4 decks at various heights, plus a boat dock. The top and main level has telescoping sliding doors that lets the outside flow in. We had family over for dinner and it was the perfect experience. The house is nicely outfitted with everything you could need and the concierge service will help with special needs. Even the neighborhood was charming.
