The perfect vacation destination!

My wife and I recently stayed at Villa del Sol for a Formula 1 race weekend. When arrived on site we were welcomed by Beau, the owner, designer, and builder of what can only be described as a modern day castle. He walked us up and gave us a tour of the property with the most breath taking lake and cityscape views.Villa del Sol is also pet friendly so we brought the pups as well! They provide a small grassy area with plenty of nearby paths and parks for the dogs. Elise (Beau’s niece) who runs the property was also in contact with us regularly making sure we had everything we needed, including a welcoming bottle of champagne and all sorts of treats. The property is right on Lake Travis and is only 25 minutes from downtown Austin, we loved it so much we even stayed an extra day, which they were very accommodating. Needless to say we didn’t want to leave and would highly recommend staying here! We will certainly be back! Thank you again for a wonderful unforgettable vacation and stay!

Incredible!

Absolutely fantastic view. We also loved the interior design and decor, including the carpet which had been updated since the listing photos.The internet was temporarily not working during our stay, but we enjoyed our vacation from the internet. We plan to return to this unit again. One thing to note is this unit does not have a dishwasher. That was not a problem for me since I brought mine from home (the little lady, lol).
