Top Rated Pet-Friendly Lake LBJ Cove Oasis:Pool, Hot Tub, Kayaks, FirePit & More

Sweet Summer Cove

We are excited to share our 3 BR, 3.5 bath lake house with you that comfortably sleeps 12 (up to 14 when factoring 2 memory foam roll away beds that are stored in the master closet) We take pride in earning 5 star ratings and will work hard to make your visit memorable.

Our lake LBJ home is located on a large private cove in the Hill Country Cove development. This Kingsland property is perfect for large gatherings of friends or family

The front covered porch welcomes you to Sweet Summer Cove with 4 rocking chairs that are an ideal place to to read a book or catch up with friends. Upon entering the home you will find tall vaulted ceilings and a large open living/ dining area with views of the pool and cove.

There is a well equipped kitchen with granite counter tops. The Kitchen Aid stainless steel gas range, microwave, and dishwasher are new (November 2022) Most things that you will need to prepare meals are provided such as a variety of cookware, cooking utensils, grilling gear, spices, coffee pods (Keurig), dish soap, dishwasher detergent and paper towels. The window above the sink overlooks the pool and waterfront. There is a second refrigerator, freezer and icemaker in the laundry room.
You will also find a 1/2 bath just off the living area. A little further down the hall you will find a large laundry area along with the entrance to the Master Bedroom. The Master Bedroom has private access to the covered patio and great views of the cove. The downstairs master has a king bed with high end linens and Ritz Carlton pillows. The master bath has a soaking tub and separate shower. You will also find a large master closet, separate water closet and a vanity with 2 sinks. Toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, soap and toilet paper are also included.

Upstairs you will find a second bedroom of similar size to the master bedroom that has views of the cove. This large room also has a king sized bed with high end linens from West Elm and Ritz Carlton pillows. There is also a twin size daybed with a trundle so the room sleeps a total of four people. The upstairs king room has a private bathroom that is outfitted with a stand alone shower, vanity and a toilet. The third bedroom is a bunk room with two twin over queen sized bunk beds that sleep six. (Bedding from Pottery Barn) The bunk bedroom also has an adjoining bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet. The house comfortably sleeps a total of 12 or up to 14 when including 2 memory foam roll away beds that are stored in the master closet. The covered outdoor patio space is outfitted with a comfortable sectional sofa , 2 club chairs and ottomans that provide seating for 9. 2 oscillating fans were mounted on the patio to keep air moving on hot days. We also added bluetooth speakers on the patio for you to play your favorite music from your phone.

The pool and hot tub provide fun year round. The spa is heated at no additional cost and the pool can be heated for $125 per day. The pool/spa has great views of both the cove and an 75” TV! Plush pool towels are included.

The terraced and fenced backyard is a hit with pet lovers that want to bring their furry friends on vacation too. The cove is ideal for swimming, fishing and water sports. There is ample space to tie up a boat and/or jet skis. Non motorized lake toys are provided . You will have access to two kayaks and 2 stand up paddle boards. Life jackets in varying sizes are also available. Fishing is great (crappie, bass and catfish)right off the dockside. Fishing rods and tackle are included.

Large smart flat screen TVs with Hulu Plus Live TV streaming (includes all major channels, ESPN+ and Disney+) are located in the living room (65”), on the patio (75”), in all bedrooms (55” - 60”) and in the garage game room (60”). There is a gas log fireplace in the large living room. Stained concrete flooring is found throughout the main level of the home. You will find carpet on the stairs and throughout the upstairs with exception of the bathroom floors that are tiled.

As mentioned previously, this property is pet friendly with a fenced yard and dog run (very small dogs may be able to fit through the 4 inch wrought iron fencing).

We offer multiple entertainment options. You will find a 12 foot shuffle board table in the main living area. You will additionally find a 7 foot slate pool table and an air hockey table in the garage. (not climate controlled but there is a large fan to move air). There is also a 60” TV and Bluetooth speaker in the garage.

You won't find a better value on the lake for a pet friendly water front home with a pool and spa. Please take a look at what our previous guests are saying! We are very proud of the 5 star reviews and appreciate that so many of our guests have made Sweet Summer Cove their go to place when visiting the lake

We are located just 5 minutes from Kingsland with easy access to grocery shopping (HEB), dining and boat rentals (Splash Boat Rentals).

We love Sweer Summer Cove!

This is our third trip to Kingsland and our second time staying here. It’s pet-friendly, and the hosts have gone above and beyond to think of every detail. Tons of games, water toys, and thoughtful specifics that make our trip easy. We are always relaxed when we stay here. We will definitely book again! The hosts go out of their way to ensure communication is easy for check-in, during our stay, and check-out. So thankful for this experience!

We loved our stay!! We had so much fun and made so many memories!! This place has everything you could want! The boys loved all the games in the garage. If you are bringing a boat, the boat launch is one of the best we have used. Loved the yard for our dogs! Truly, can’t say enough good things about this wonderful property!

Beautiful Lakeside Home

My college friends reunited for a brief stay at this home. There were ten of us in total, and we had a blast! There were fantastic amenities, including a fully stocked kitchen. We spent a lot of time at the pool and hot tub, which were clean and comfortable. It was also nice having the cove in the backyard - a little quieter than the lake, but still close enough to kayak to! I think this house would be perfect for a family gathering, too.

Wonderful time

We needed a few days of R and R. We decided on this place because it had great reviews. The kids enjoyed the gameroom and pool. We rented a boat for the day and enjoyed the lake and docking up to the side of the house to take a break. We hope to be back soon for another weekend.

Exceeded Our Expectations

The location, house and host were amazing! Can’t wait to go back! We swam, went kayaking, relaxed in the hot tub and on the patio a lot! The fishing was amazing as well, especially mid-mornings. There were only three of us but this place can easily accommodate a much larger group. Definitely planning to take more family back. We booked 4 nights and after getting there added a 5th night and they graciously let us. We were there during the week and it was so quiet. Highly recommend!

Everything you need

This property is beautiful, comfortable, and stocked with all the activities you need for a fun getaway. We used the pool, hot tub, kayaks, paddle boat, outdoor tv/speakers, fishing rods, corn hole and grill. We could have continued with shuffle board, air hockey, fire pit, paddle boards…you get the idea. Each bedroom has a connected bathroom, beds and linens are super comfy. Lots of dining space and lounging space, you can’t go wrong. And, lastly, no laundry lists of tasks to do before you leave. Money well spent for what you get to enjoy!

Birthday weekend

This was a great place to stay. Very open. I will definetly be back during the summer. The home has way more perks during the summer. Was a very relaxing stay. The garage game room was a very fun touch. Driveway is extremely steep though. Kinda scary if it was icy out. A great stay with an excellent location to be able to get around all the small towns with ease.
