On the water

Public docks sit on the water directly next to the house, a place to head out if you want to boat or jet ski. Two kayaks, life jackets in child and adult sizes, a YETI cooler, eight chairs, beach towels, and a portable wagon are on hand for a day by the lake.

Jones Brothers Park is a short walk down the steps, with a large grassy lawn, a playscape, a baseball diamond, basketball courts, covered picnic areas, tennis courts, and lots of lakeshore. Be careful on the steps up to the house and down toward the lake: they are old, and at times stones can be loose. Water levels fluctuate over the course of the year.

The description places the house 0.1 mi (0.2 km) from Lake Travis, 30 minutes from downtown Austin, and 45 minutes from the airport. The location module lists Lake Travis at 0.3 km (a three-minute walk) and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) at 46 minutes.

Porches, hot tub, and a grill

Two spacious front porches look out over the lake, a welcome spot for breakfast or an evening outside. A hot tub is on site, and a new 5-burner grill is ready for cooking outdoors.

The Lucky Rabbit and Lucky Rabbit Live Music Bar & Kitchen are a nine-minute walk (0.8 km). Rounders Pizza is within walking distance, and Quetzal Mexican Restaurant is a five-minute drive. An H-E-B, a Super Target, and a Costco are about a 15-minute drive.
