— The pictures shown on this listing are NOT THE CURRENT REALITY! And the owner will let you spend your hard earned money on a “waterfront” and “lake access” rental…only to get to the house and see the dock is sitting on GRASS! Yes, she cannot control the water levels on Lake Travis. But she can sure control the pictures on her listing!! Or let innocent renters know the real situation beforehand! This is 100% FALSE ADVERTISING!
— Ok, maybe you don’t really care about actually going into the lake while you’re staying at the house because you think you’ll have some really nice views while you relax on the deck. NOPE you won’t! You can’t even see the lake from the deck. ALL you see is trees! And absolutely no breeze from the water so it’s stifling hot on the deck. Save your money and rent a cabin in the woods…it’ll be the same experience and much more affordable!
— So, you don’t mind that the lake is dry and this owner’s pictures are lying to you. And maybe it doesn’t bother you that you can’t see the lake from the “waterfront” house. Well, I bet you when you take a shower, you’d like to have warm water… NOPE, not at this house! The downstairs shower had no hot water for our entire stay. We told the owner and she came by and raised the temperature on the water heater. Didn’t work! It only made the shower that our friends were using upstairs scalding hot.
— Some other things that just make this place a loser. The ceiling fan in the downstairs bedroom by the deck did not work, so we had to move to a creepy back bedroom. Susan did bring a floor fan to the house when she adjusted the water temp, but we had already moved to another bedroom. Spiderwebs and spiders all over the place. You’d think with the mandatory exorbitant cleaning fee…it would be spiderweb-free house… NOPE again!
— This was just the most infuriating experience for us and our friends. We tried to resolve our concerns with the property owner (Susan Pollo) and VRBO, but their response to our valid claims was laughable. They are getting away with fraud. Please, please do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else!
