Commonly Asked Questions

Are there life guards on duty?

There are no life guards on duty,  no fence or barrier restricting persons from entering the water and no depth signs. Under water hazards may exist and swimming is at your own risk. Renter is responsible for the safety and well-being of all guests and is responsible for keeping a close watch on all swimmers as well as non-swimmers or persons who may enter or accidentally enter the water. Should the Renter/Responsible party be absent from the Property for any length of time, it is his/her duty to designate another person within his/her party for this responsibility.

Are kayaks and paddle board use included in the cabana fee?

No, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard to keep at your cabana and use at your leisure or buy a watercraft wrist band that gives you unlimited use of all our kayaks and paddle boards in 45 minute sessions from the kayak station.

What should we bring?

Beach towels, charcoal, lighter fluid, BBQ utensils, ice, ice chest, favorite drinks and food, bug repellent and a smile – it’s time to have some fun!

Can we drive to the island by car?

Yes! No need to bring a boat as we have a 100 foot long wooden bridge that you can drive a car across.

Where do we park? Is there a limit to how many vehicles we can bring?

We have parking on the island, but we limit the parking to two cars for each cabana. If you have additional cars, we now have a lot nearby with golf cart shuttle. The cost is $20 per vehicle. 

Can we bring our own kayaks, boats, jet skis and/or floats?

Yes, you are welcome to bring any of these items yourself. 

Reserve a Cabana

Are pets allowed?

No, we love pets but unfortunately our insurance does not allow them to be on the Island.

Are there alligators, snakes and spiders?

There are no monster or small alligators in Lake Placid. Anywhere in Texas you can find snakes and spiders and Son’s Island is no exception though we don’t have more here than other places. When you are outdoors, it is always best to use caution and avoid weedy and heavily brushed areas and stay to lighted paths at night. We have never had a guest bitten by a snake and have had tens of thousands of visitors to Son’s Island.

Is the water level low?

No, we are on a constant level lake. In 2018 the water level did drop due to work the government was doing on the dam, but the water level is back to normal.

Is the water clear/blue?

Son’s Island is an actual Island in Lake Placid which is fed by the Guadalupe River. As with any natural body of water, the color does change depending on the amount of rain, sunlight etc. After a hard rain or flood the water can look muddy brown. If we haven’t had a hard rain in a while the particles settle, and the water turns a beautiful blue!

How deep is the water? What is the bottom like?

Son’s Island is just under 4 acres and has almost a mile of lakefront. The depth varies depending on where you are at and range from 2’ – 12’ deep. The bottom varies as well, some areas have a rocky bottom, others a muddy bottom.

I noticed some bad reviews online.

We do not filter our reviews at all. I’m not sure exactly how many 5-star reviews we have but I’d imagine for each bad review we have about a 100 5-star reviews. Some people you can’t please no matter what.  Everyone else seems to have a blast at Son’s Island!

More Commonly Asked Questions

Are there any restricted items?

Absolutely no glass, fireworks, loud music or pets; please refer to our rental agreement for full list of restrictions.

Do I need to wear a life jacket when using the kayaks and paddle boards?

Yes, life jackets must be worn no matter the age.

Do you have a place to change clothes?

Yes, we have changing rooms located on the property. 

Do you have bathrooms?

We have 2 air conditioned trailers with 9 bathrooms as well as numerous port-a-potties located around the island 

Are we allowed to BBQ?

Yes, each cabana has its own charcoal BBQ pit. Please be extremely careful to keep fire away from the roof as the palm leaves are extremely flammable. Also be sure not to dump coals around the landscaping.

Do you have a restaurant at the island?

No, but there are many great restaurants in the area and we know Papa Johns in Seguin delivers to the Island, as we order from there occasionally.

More Commonly Asked Questions

Where can I get ice, is there a gas station nearby?

We now have ice at the Island!  If, we run out, the next closest place to get ice is at the gas station located at the corner of 78 and 1620, it is only 2 miles from the island. HEB, Walmart and a variety of other stores are located in Seguin near the corner of HWY 90 and 123, which is only 5.5 miles away from the island.

Is there a boat ramp nearby?

Yes, there is a public boat ramp directly under I-10 where it crosses Lake Placid. It is located less than a mile away from the island by car or boat.

Address:  2767 IH 10 W Access Rd, Seguin, TX 78155 

Is there a place to dock our boats?

Yes, though each cabana has its own dock we try to limit boat docking to the larger docks closest to the main part of the lake to keep the rear side of the island swimmer and kayak friendly. Cabanas #B-10# and #B-11 as well as #C-1 through #C-6 are best for those wanting to bring their own boat as they are located on the deeper side of the island. WARNING: THERE ARE MANY ROCKS LOCATED IN FROM OF THE ISLAND.
