We enjoyed our visit to Carols home and to Spicewood. The listing is 100% accurate and the pictures and virtual tour really helped me to understand exactly what to expect. Unfortunately for us, we picked a time during a record breaking heat wave to visit the area, so outdoor activities were limited due to heat and low water levels. The water level in the swimming area was unfortunately too low for us to enjoy it on this trip, however we would have spent a significant amount of time there to help beat the heat.
The house was incredibly well appointed. We didn't miss any comforts of being at home. Tons of utensils and dinnerware, great coffee machine, electric kettle, blender, toaster oven, etc. Also, quality knives, cookware and mixing salad bowls, etc. Further, the Samsung Smart TV's were great to watch direct TV or streaming media. The internet speed was a little slow, but sufficient to watch streaming media with minimal buffering.
We visited several restaurants in the area. Opie's Barbeque is top notch and I will always stop there if in the area. Get there early. J5 Steakhouse was excellent and we were introduced to 71 Painted Wines. Great wines with an excellent purpose, so I highly recommend. Pizzeria Sorellina and La Cabana Grill (Get the Mexican Martini) were also excellent.
Carol was incredible responsive and an excellent host and we would confidently rent from her again.
