    Really an island. Really a danger. Lost one star because no free WiFi. Good place to bring your pups though.

    The service was really nice and the prices were way better than at any other marina. Could use a…read morefew updates.

    Well, I dropped the ball by not reading reviews in advance! First of all, I think it is strange…read morethat their business name seems to be different depending on where you look. Yelp shows Lake LBJ Resort & Marina, their website is lakelbjfun.com and at the top of their website it says Lake LBJ Marina and Country Club. This run down place is neither a "resort" nor "country club". When we first pulled up we were a little concerned but headed inside anyway since it was our daughters birthday and we had 4 teenagers super excited about tubing. Reeked of cigarettes inside so I asked my husband, "before we rent can we go and look at the boats". We went outside to the small dock and looked at two boats side by side, one was very decent looking and the other was HORRIBLE! A guy yells down at us from the bar area, we asked which boat was for us? He points to the run down nasty looking boat that had very moldy seats, dirty towels on board, torn back seat and dirty floors. I pointed to the boat and said "this one"? He responded yes, and I repeated "this one, not the other?" He raised his voice and said "I am just going to cancel you, it is obvious from your questions you will not be satisfied". He continued yelling at us saying if we wanted to rent a $300,000 boat for $300 we were crazy and should just buy our own boat". Absurd that a business owner would say such a thing. I admit my response was poor (with my shock and dismay getting the better of me), I replied "we have a boat a**hole (fuel pump broken) so we know how a boat should look". As we were leaving he continued ranting and raving to anyone within ear shot. He then called me an a**hole to which my husband then stepped in and the guy shut up. I don't know how this place is still in business and I mean that with all sincerity. To say that their equipment is "painstakingly maintained" is a blatant lie! Went to another rental place by Horseshoe Bay and got a nice, CLEAN boat with very friendly and polite staff.

    Woot! I did It! I swam from Volente Beach out to Starnes Island today! Ok I had to get that out! It…read morewas that exciting. The 5 stars is for the actual overall experience not the island itself. This morning 4 of my adventure friends and I met at 620/Bullick Hollow and piled into James' truck for the ride out to Volente Beach Water Park - since the Island does not have an address that is the address I used for the island. To swim out to the island pass the water park and turn into the first private driveway on the right pay 5.00 per car and drive all the way to the water - you will see the island out off shore. If you want to swim out to this island you must have swim fins a flotation device for water and dry pack and I highly advise some sort of flag since there are boats in the area. We swam up to a sandy beach and hiked over to the other side that has cliffs and huge boulders to jump off of. The guys jumped first to prove to Tracy and I that it was safe:) yes the water is still deep enough here. Even though the water is low it was a good 1/8 mile swim out to the island that took about 20 minutes. I highly recommend the island for anyone who likes to explore, swim or scuba dive.

    A buddy and I decided to go kayaking on Lake Travis, little did I know just how far we'd go. We…read moreput in at Jones Brothers park in Jonestown and just started paddling. We were having a great time but neither of us wanted to be the first to say they were getting tired. Next thing we know we could see the main body of the lake and see Starnes island (isn't it aka "Snake Island?) and paddled furiously towards it. We got there and were well rewarded. I am totally going to pack the 'yak for an overnighter on the island, its a great place! That is, once my shoulder heals up. Next time I'll probably wuss out and put in at Volente. Great times had by all!
