Luxe Waterfront | Lake LBJ + Heated Pool + Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time at this beautiful house and enjoyed the property overall. However, there were a few issues worth mentioning for future guests.The location pin on the VRBO listing was inaccurate, and when we asked about the closest boat ramp, we were directed to one about 10 minutes away, despite there being one next door. The house guide, which was tucked away in a drawer, contained helpful information about boat restrictions due to a low bridge that would have been great to receive before arrival. We also encountered a few maintenance issues: we found only three of the four listed hair dryers, the downstairs bathroom outlets were finicky, and the over displayed an error code that required resetting the breaker. Our biggest disappointment was the advertised seven-bedroom layout. The bunk areas did not have doors, and one was more of a pass-through space than a separate bedroom. We felt this was mis-leading, especially when planning sleeping arrangements for a large group. Overall, its a beautiful property with a lot to offer, and we had a wonderful time. Addressing these issues and providing more accurate information about the bedroom layout would make the experience even better for future guests."
