About this castle / palace rental

PLEASE NOTE: WE ONLY BOOK VIA VRBO. THIS IS A VERY POPULAR PLACE TO RENT, WHICH IS PRONE FOR SCAMS.

Come spend your vacation at Captain Jay's Castle on a private, always deep water Lake Travis cove with amazing sunsets year-round ! Lake Travis is not a constant level lake therefore the private floating dock is moved according to lake levels and accessing lake may be more challenging when water is lower but cove is always deep and swimmable! Accessibility may be difficult for young children and those with mobility issues. It’s great for fossil hunting!

Our private dock has a pontoon boat and jet ski for rent (lowest price and best maintained in area) and is well lit at night to enjoy sitting right on the water. Kayaks, paddle boards, and other water toys are available to enjoy at no extra charge. The cove is a local popular fishing spot so anglers bring your gear.

The Castle has 3 large bedrooms with in suite bathrooms, a 1/2 bath downstairs as well as an open sleeping area upstairs with a trundle and full sized bed.

Bedrooms: King-downstairs, 2 bedrooms upstairs- one with queen and one with 2 queens. In keeping with the uniqueness of this home, there are 2 walk-in closets with bunkbeds and pocket doors for extra sleeping. Air mattresses also available for larger parties.

Our per night pricing is for 8 guests, additional overnight guests will be charged 50.00 per night.

We love well behaved pets but there will be charge a 50.00 per pet, per visit.

Our 2.75 acre lot has plenty of room to roam. There is a beautiful large stone patio with fire pit to entertain or just relax at sunset. There are two large decks as well as a rooftop to enjoy dinner and lake and sunset views.

Our property is Wildlife Certified; many beautiful water and land birds to observe as well as country critters so please do not leave food out at night and bring appropriate footwear.

Responsible parties are welcome. We take great pride in keeping the grounds and house clean and we ask our guest to do the same upon their departure. Removing sheets and towels and placed in the laundry room is much appreciated.

Day Use: for additional guests accessing the property but not staying over there will be an extra $10.00 per person charge. For security and liability we must be informed of any extra guests on the property.

We like to greet our guests and provide a tour of the house and grounds upon arrival. Owner lives on the property in a separate house with several small dogs. While we will not disturb our guests, we do make ourselves available 24hrs if our guests need help or have any questions. There is a tenant downstairs, Chico, who has a boating excursion business who you may see coming and going and also helps with guests when needed.

    As always, had an amazing time at the castle this weekend. The house was in great shape, very clean, and had everything we needed for a great weekend. This year the water was up in the lake which provided a great cool off in the summer heat. Jeff had floats lined up and ready for our stay. We’ll be back again next year!

    The castle was a perfect spot on the lake to enjoy a weekend with the guys. The house is very unique and filled with history in every room. We enjoyed using all the great amenities this place has to offer. Jeff was a great host who was available and accommodating whenever we needed him. We would love to come back for another stay.

    Pros: Property can adequately accommodate large parties. Good location and beautiful views. Very friendly and accommodating host. He was available to us 24/7. Eclectic decor. Lots to look at and owner was very generous letting us use all things on property, grills, smokers, binoculars, speakers, fire pits etc. Cons: The kitchenware needs to be updated. Pots and pans had not been properly cleaned before being stored. Tons of plastic plates and cups were provided but they were very well used. Bathroom towels need to be updated. We visited when the lake was 80%full. We had decided not to use the boat because the dock was inaccessible. The owners description on the challenges on accessing the doc is accurate. The rooftop on the property needs some love. It was not as described in the video. Not a home for young, unattended, children. This is great home for large, young adult groups. It’s an experience and adventure. Little bit crazy but definitely kind of cool. Definitely authentic to the Austin vibe!

    8.0 / 10.0
    To start off the owner is a very gracious person and was always there if you had any issues. The property is a very neat place with a lot of interesting items around to check out. We did happen to show up during a flood and got a lot of time to spend in the home and overall was nice but cooking was a challenge with pots and pans being very worn out and the grills needing some maintenance and the knives could barely cut butter. The disposal had a really bad smell. Overall we were able to make things work with what was there. The shower heads upstairs need updated, and the refrigerator had no water pressure. I know these are super small things but just a mention. We did bring our boat though and planned to use at the lake but there was definitely no where we could have even parked it at the dock. The walk way down from the house to the dock is not an easy task especially if you have any elderly or very young. The dock ramp is sketchy with only a 2x12” for the access to the dock so not real easy to access. The dock was also very messy. The rooftop was a neat area but it was kind of a bone yard of broken stuff and is not an easy stair way to get to. There is what we would call very limited parking especially if you intend to have up to the 10 guests it can hold easily. The guide that lives in the downstairs in the house was very friendly. Decent interesting place. Does need some maintenance.

    Thank you to Captain J for a wonderful girls trip. The space allowed up our own privacy but also so many areas to congregate.

    My family joined our friends at the Castle house on Father’s Day weekend. We had a wonderful time. Our host Jeff was very helpful and kind. We were able to access the lake very easily and enjoy taking the boat out. The house comfortably fit all nine of us and was very clean and well stocked. We will definitely book the Castle house again!
