Riverfront R & R

Relaxation starts now - welcome to your riverfront retreat, this spacious, four-bedroom home boasting a private pool, large deck, and expansive Colorado River views from both outside and in. Spend your days golfing nearby courses, sampling the year’s vintage at one of over a dozen nearby wineries, or just enjoying the spectacular Hill Country scenery. If you’re looking for more urban delights, central Austin awaits a little over 30 miles away.
But first, coffee - wake up each morning with a quiet cup and sunrise over the river from the comfortably furnished balcony, just above the pool. Dip into the sparkling water for a few laps before the day gets going, then head inside to make some breakfast when you get hungry. The wide-open floor plan combines the full, well-equipped kitchen with the window-front dining area and comfortable living room, making the space ideal for spending time with family and friends. Don your chef’s hat and take advantage of the full suite of stainless steel appliances to whip up favorite recipes, then park the kids at the huge kitchen island for a meal while the adults head over to the table.
After a day of exploring, relax in the central AC if it’s warm outside. Three streaming-capable TVs and free WiFi offer indoor entertainment opportunities, but watching the stars rise over the water outside makes for an even better show. Fire up the gas grill for an easy dinner, then grab a chilled bottle out of your wine fridge for a vacation toast. Four well-appointed bedrooms promise a restful night’s sleep, where you can drift off dreaming of your first - and next - perfect day on the river.

Beautiful house and views
Beautiful home in a quiet area. The patio offers amazing views as well. We did not get to use the pool, it had turned a little cooler and the water was chilly, at least to me.
Very well stocked. The kitchen had all the appliances and anything you need for serving/cooking. Spacious house and the 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was perfect for our stay. Loved the master bedroom sleep number bed! You won’t go wrong staying here

The Little Things (Or Lack Of) Make a Difference
Our group was excited as we approached the house, and we couldn’t wait to get in.
The house looked just like the listing as we entered, but we were surprised by the uncomfortable temperature. The thermostat was in the high 70s, and it took hours to get to a comfortable temperature.
The same thing happened the second night when we returned from being out.
Some other aspects of the house that surprised and disappointed us...
* The pool light didn't work, so it was dangerous to use the pool after sunset
* On our final day, we got an email saying we could get a late checkout for a fee. I tried it minutes after 4 pm and was told by Vacasa that it had to be requested before 4 pm (this wasn't in the email)
* The master has windows that bring in direct sunlight at sunrise each morning - they prevented us from sleeping after sunrise and made the room hot
* The master king bed was split in half; one half was higher, and it was uncomfortable
* Many kitchen/cooking basics were absent, such as pepper, olive oil, coffee, and napkins.
* The toilet paper was prison-grade
* The towel rack in the master collapsed to the floor when we put a towel on it
* Lots of dead bugs around the house, especially in the dining room.
* There was a DirectTv remote in the living room, and we spent an hour trying to get the TV to work. Finally, we contacted Vacasa to find out the house doesn't have DirectTV! The remotes for the smart TV were hidden in a fake book
This was a beautiful home and we really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and it really had everything we needed. However, it had a few things we did not need. One was that yellow jackets or wasps were getting in the house. we don't know how, but they were. The other was the master bedroom was hotter than very other room in the house. This is probably due to the master having all glass on one side of the room at the other side was the external wall. They did have a ceiling fan in the master and their was another fan that really did not cool it down, but it was not unbearable with the temp outside not getting above 85 for the time of our stay. If it was not for the Yellowjackets/wasps and the heat in the bedroom, this place would have gotten five stars.
