This listing is for the FULL ESTATE, including the Main 3-Story Home & 2-Story Guest House (Garden House).

The Palms on Lake Travis is an exclusive and privately-owned, gated, high-end, 3 story, waterfront, estate vacation rental home with a 2 story guest house for those who wish to relax on Lake Travis. We are proud to have received more than 129 perfect 5 star reviews across platforms!

This Mediterranean-style jewel is absolutely stunning! This is our primary home. We live here and rent it out occasionally, and we are excited to share our extraordinary piece of Texas waterfront paradise with you! We expect our guests to treat our home with care and as their own.

The Palms is conveniently located lakeside, 1 mile from the Oasis restaurant ('The Sunset Capital of Texas') on the scenic Comanche Trail drive around the main basin of Lake Travis. This location is prime for those who want to enjoy Austin - it is only a 30 minute drive to downtown Austin and about a 35 minute drive to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport!

Please note that we do not accept bachelor parties, spring breakers, or any party groups. We strive to be a peaceful and relaxing getaway for families, couples, mature friends, low-key celebrations, and corporate retreats. If you desire more of a party atmosphere, then another location would be a better fit for your group. Thank you for understanding!

All children are included in the total guest count. If you are bringing a child or baby under the age of 5, you can rent baby gear to make your travel easier at BabyQuip - https://www.babyquip.com a=4285eb8. They will sanitize, drop off, and pick up things like cribs, strollers, high chairs, toys, and more to make your trip even easier.

Please submit inquiries with your information via the contact form or email for a faster response (vs phone calls). We give priority to VRBO Contact Forms and direct email.

A cove and covered dock is available to use for swimming, fishing, and sunbathing. Boaters may tie up to the dock with advanced notice. A public boat launch is located just across the main basin from us (you can see it from the property) at Mansfield Dam - it's about a 5 minute boat ride. The dock is shared with neighbors, so you may see others at the dock during your stay.

WEDDINGS AND EVENTS: Please note that, due to our setup, we are unable to participate in weddings or other events with more than 30 total guests. We welcome your out of town guests and family members of the bridal/groom's party to stay with us, and we will make every effort to ensure they have an extremely enjoyable stay in Austin! If you have a wedding or event with more than 20 guests, it must be pre-arranged with a minimum 3 night weekend stay, a contract, and an event fee. Please contact Rodney & Robin if interested.

Our preferred method of contact is the Request Form on VRBO or direct email. We have day jobs and receive too many calls to return in a timely manner. We have found that we can respond to you much more quickly via email.

    The guest homes are beautiful, clean and well-stocked. We had three couples and stayed in both of the guesthouses. Beds were very comfortable, plenty of linens and many extras! Robin and Rodney were the best hosts! Looking forward to visiting them again. Highly recommend!

    The Palms is a fantastic property including everything you'll need for a memorable vacation whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. The hosts are more than thoughtful including a well stocked kitchen if you want to cook. It's also close to great restaurants for dinng out. Questions and requests are responded to immediately. Can't recommend The Palms and our hosts highly enough. This will definitely be a return destination for our annual girls trip.

    Location is right on the lake, partially shares a view with The Oasis, which is just down the street. Very cool upscale neighborhood nestled into the cliff side. Easy access to shopping for needs and wants. Everything you could really want, this house has it except one thing: you are sharing the property with the owner. I value privacy above all other amenities just about. I was aware from the listing they lived on property but they actually occupy the same structure as the guests. So much for walking around nude. They were very nice and helpful and did not encroach on us, you would not know they were there except you can hear their footsteps and they talk fairly loud or possibly had a game night or party because they did get pretty loud during “quiet hours”.

    You will not be disappointed with this place! The location is perfect and the houses are beautiful!! I was worried about privacy but it was not a concern at all. The owners were available to help when we had problems getting a TV to work but other than that we never saw or heard them. We will be back!!

    The check-in was very easy and the property was gorgeous. Everything was very clean, even the deck outside. They have made it feel like you have ventured out of Texas for a moment in time. It was so relaxing from the music everywhere, to the comfortable furniture, all the lounge chairs outside, the swing, and of course the wonderful spa! The only negative I have is concerning the boat dock. It was not located directly down the steps as it looks in the picture on the listing. I had people in my group that cannot climb rocks and the trail to get to the boat dock was dangerous. We had brought all our fishing gear and swimming peril to enjoy but due to the location and the journey to get there we decided it was far too dangerous. That was quite a disappointment. The owners told us they had to move the deck out further because of the drop in the lake level. Overall it was beautiful and breathtaking but I would not be willing to come back and pay what we paid without the deck more accessible.

    House is as advertised. Very responsive hosts that go out of their way to make sure they don't impede on guest privacy. Beds are comfortable and AC works great. The one time, we did need to get something serviced, it was addressed within minutes.

    The Palms at Lake Travis is beautiful. The main house has many upgrades and everything is in excellent working order. The home is situated where a nice breeze blows through the back porch area which kept us comfortable (in August). The property is very well manicured and the lighting around the place is impressive. The beds are comfortable and the A/C system works well. The walk to the dock is challenging (as advertised) so good shoes are a must, but the cove is protected from wind and waves. We had a great stay and recommend the place.
