Many thanks for a great 9 days at your condo - very quiet and peaceful throughout the week. We thoroughly relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. Very nice place, very homey. I'm sure we'll be back. Best regards, Kim and John McAndrews
Thanks so much for the use of your great unit. We had a nice time and would love to come back and stay longer. If you're in Galveston call. We have a big house on Bayou Vista and would love to have you. Take care and God bless. Janice and Randall.
Thanks for a wonderful place to spend the first night of our marriage. Kyle + Britt
Thank you so much for helping me create this birthday surprise trip for Jules. He absolutely loved his birthday trip! It would not have been the same without your beautiful condo. We want one! Little did I know we would be enjoying the romantic setting to celebrate our recent engagement as well. :) Between the movies, CD's, warm decor and amazing view from the balcony, we could not have asked for more. We will be in touch about a return trip! We do not want to leave, but unfortunately we must return to reality. Thank you for the dream and until next time ... Sincerely, Future Mr. and Mrs. Trotter.
Had a great time on the lake! Beautiful condo - so well appointed! The Seays of Katy, Texas.
You have a delightful place. We sure enjoyed our three days here. You have made it a home away from home, but very relaxing. We came with a wedding party and we were glad this was our place while we were here. Thank you so much for the basket of snacks. The view is so fantastic from the balcony. We also rested so much here. God Bless You. Rev & Mrs. Leroy Montoya, Farmington, NM
Hey Tom. This sure beats Chicago winters huh? My boyfriend & I are so glad we made the move to Austin - and coming out to the lake are one of the top reasons why! I think we are definately coming back - we couldn't think of a better way to enjoy the lake. Your condo is amazing and has all the nice touches to make you feel RELAXED and @ home. This was a great way to show oof & host our guests from back home. Thanks again for making everything so convenient and simple ... if only everything could be that way! Thanks. Tina & guests
We have had the most wonderful and relaxing time these past few days here at your condo. The Island is absolutely spectacular - quiet during the week - and all of the deer! This is truly an idyllic place to relax. Your condo has all the amenities. It is very, very comfortable - we wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this place so special, and for making it available to us. We will tell our friends! Sincerely, Tom and Leslie, Dallas, Texas
Enjoyed the stay. We'll definately be back. Brad & Sonya.
Wow, what an amazing time we had! Your place is so warm and quaint. Thank you for making it available to us. My 35th birthday has been filled with many great memories. And Unit 2104 will be in the midst of them.
May you be blessed with prosperity and longevity through this slice of Heaven on this side of earth! Thank you, Melanie and the girls!
We had an absolutely glorious time. Your condo was everything we expected it to be - plush and beautifully decorated. We also loved the lake view and the beautiful, cool pools. Our vacation was everything we hoped it would be and more... Blessings on all you do in the future. Derrick, Jill, Jess & Rachel
Thank you for handling our last minute reservation so quickly and efficiently. I just love your little condo. It is very comfortable and decorated so beautifully. I had everthing I needed to cook - it is so well stocked. This morning's breakfast with coffee on the balcony made it feel like a B&B. We really enjoyed our short stay. Thank you. Nicole DeFalcis.
Thanks for an amazing getaway! We loved it!
We truly enjoyed ourselves! Your condo is beautiful and we had a great time boating on the Lake. Would definitely tell our family and friends about this place. Thank you. P.S. We loved the Welcome Basket!
It was so wonderful to just get away and be lazy. We loved the condo and the Welcome Basket was such a surprise and so apprecited. Look forward to another stay some time. Thank you. C. Redus.
What a glorious vacation! Condo is beautiful & stocked with any & everything a peson could need. We enjoyed morning walks with the deer, tennis, the pool & the lovely lake view. We will tell our friends about our special find and hope to return again soon. Thanks for the great basket of goodies...we enjoyed every last crumb.
Perfect little getaway! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous condo with us for our 10th wedding anniversary! Your HD 50" is just like we have so the awesome win by my alma mater, Texas Longhorns, was perfect! We would love to come back someday soon and would probably like another day or so to allow for some lake activities. Best of luck to you!! Thanks again! Hook 'em horns. The Brian White's, Frisco, TX P.S. We loved the basket of goodies!
It was so easy to find ourselves imagining we were on some tropical Island in paradise somewhere. We didn't feel like we wanted or needed to go anywhere else for entertainment. We ventured out to "the Pier" yesterday for lunch and a beer...was okay but we quickly decided we had a much cooler and romantic place right on our balcony...so we came back and didn't leave again!
We very much enjoyed walking around The Island and lounging/swimming in the pools. The only thing that could have made our stay any better is if we had a boat to tool around in. However, we wouldn't have gotten the rest we enjoyed so much. We were able to put our cares, concerns and work life on hold for the 3 days we were here.
Finally, your condo is lovely...very well done. We did feel like we were in a "5 Star" hotel, but better! Thanks for the basket of treats! I didn't want our stay to end...but we will be back...and if your condo is available...it would be fun to stay here again. Thank you for making it available to us. Dee & Larry
Thank you so very much for your kindness. As my father would say "you're good people". Our stay at The Island was fantastic. The view is amazing as well as your condo. Very classy! Without you our wedding night would have been ruined but because of your generosity it was better than perfect! I don't know how we will ever repay you! It's nice to know there are still good souls in the world. Anyone who is lucky enough to stay in your condo will agree you have a terrific place. Again thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Mr. and Mrs. Fleming.
It was a pleasure to stay at The Island! We were looking for a lace to escape from our busy lives in Houston and we did just that by coming here. It was a wonderful day yesterday for everyone in the family. Even though we had the kids it was very romantic and a way for them to enjoy themselves also. We took your advise on the boat rental and jet skis, they came right to the boat dock to pick us up. After that we all went swimming in the pool to cool off. The kids were all beat up tired so we got pizza and watched movies that night. Thank you for everything. You sounded so nice on the phone, and everything was perfect to follow it. Our stay was special thanks to you. We loved your condo and will recommend it to our family and friends. We will be back. Amelia, Rudy and Family.
What a wonderful place you have. Our family had a great time, swimming, fishing and just relaxing on the balcony. Arron and the boys caught lots of fish. We also took your advice and rented a boat. We had a blast. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you. The Mundy's
You have such a beautiful condo and you really thought of everything to make our stay special, especially the welcome basket - which was so thoughtful of you. It was so nice to be able to get away to such a relaxing place with gorgeous views and the best kept little secret in Texas. We will recommend it to our friends. Thank you so much! The Saenz Family.
Thank you for a beautiful stay!
Thank you so much for working out with us at the last minute. We were finally able to relax even though we had a short stay. If we had planned this a little better we would have stayed longer and probably even picked up the boat while we were here. The weekend was absolutely gorgeous! We truly enjoyed our much needed break. I look forward to coming out here again. You have a beautiful place. Take care! Sincerely, The Stackhouse Family
We had a great time. Your condo is so nice. A getaway that we will remember. Thanks again.
Very nice time. Can't wait to come back. Take care.
Such a beautiful and comfortable condominium. The view is spectacular. Very romantic stay for us. We'll be back to your condominium soon.
