On the water

A private dock sits on the water, with kayaks on hand for time on the lake. Amenities also list a boat, kayak/canoe, water sports gear, and beach chairs.

A water-level update in the description, dated June 3rd, 2026, says the lake fluctuates and is below full capacity, with water around the docks that is somewhat shallow at about 2-3 feet deep. Nearby are a boat launch and a public park.

The location module places Lake Travis a one-minute walk (0.1 km) away, and Cypress Creek a seven-minute walk (0.6 km). The description says the waterfront is typically steps away from the property.

Spacious decks, a fire pit, and lake views

Spacious decks look out over Lake Travis, a welcome spot for a sunset or for stargazing at night. A fire pit and a barbecue grill are outside, with outdoor furniture on hand. Popular amenities also include a balcony and garage parking.

The Oasis on Lake Travis, Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, and Rudy's Country Store & Bar-B-Q are a five-minute drive, per the location module.
