3br Luxurious Mid-century farmhouse, welcome BMT.
Henry and his family went above and beyond of making us feel comfortable and right at home. The check in was smooth, the entire home was immaculate, beds were so comfy, and beautiful. The host and his family even brought over some delicious sweet treats for us to enjoy. This host and the home has been bar the best place we've stayed. We cannot wait to come back to San Antonio to stay here again. Thank you for everything Henry.

We totally enjoyed our stay! The house is great, there is plenty of room, and it had everything that we needed. Love the quiet neighborhood! Hope to be back soon!

Cheerful three-bedroom home-TDY-Traveling Nurses
Todd was quick to respond to any questions I had. The property is cozy and feels like you are right at home. I would stay at this location again.

Luxury Home Only Three Minutes from Riverwalk and the Pearl
A lovely home in an excellent location. Renovated with all the upgrades in a location you can't beat. Easy walking to the Pearl, CIA & the Riverwalk. This home is spacious, loads of amenities and some extra touches to make it special. Plenty of plugs with both standard and USB outlets. Easily understood labels on switch plates, appliances and the fabulous master shower. Literally steps from the Riverwalk and the Pearl, and yet SO quiet. Felt completely safe and enjoyed it immensely.

Stunning 4-BDRM I Walk to Pearl Brewery/Riverwalk
Great place in a great location! Perfect for our group.

Superb Home 7 minutes from Lackland Air Force Base
We picked this home because of the proximity to the AFB where our daughter was graduating from BMT. We were able to stay here with our dog, we felt right at home, and our daughter loved relaxing there with us when she had a break and even said, "Mom, I'm so glad you rented this house, its really nice and cozy". The host was friendly and responsive, the home is clean, beautifully decorated, and in a nice neighborhood. We would absolutely stay here again if we are ever back in the area.

The house was beautiful, the furniture was super comfortable, the kitchen was extremely nice ( I wish mine was like that). We enjoyed our stay and we had a great time.

Spacious 5 Bdrm Home, just minutes from Downtown.
A home away from home. We enjoyed our San Antonio family vacation. After long days of sightseeing etc it was always nice to come back to a restful place. The location is great as well. Very clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely book again if we ever traveled to the area again. Many thanks.

Escape near Seaworld, Fiesta Tx, Lackland AFB
Super CLEAN with tons of room. Gorgeous home. Safe neighborhood. The heated pool was AMAZING we were hoping for a weekend full of sunshine but the weather had other plans but because the pool was heated we were still able to enjoy ourselves. Home is cozy and inviting. We would definitely stay here again.

Off the Hook Americana Getaway/on Guadalupe/pets
My wife and I went to the pickle festival at the fairgrounds, and this location was perfect. Could walk to the fairgrounds and downtown is a 5 minute drive. The condo was homey, clean, and perfect for our weekend getaway. Carrie was very friendly and responsive, couldn't ask for a better host. Highly recommend.

Palomino Paradise w/ Private Pool & Pool Table
This place was immaculate! If I return to the area, this would be my first pick! I loved the complementary snacks and drinks and all of the included amenities. You can tell that great thought was put into making this Airbnb perfect for guests. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Hilltop Paradise! Valley View! King & Queen beds!
10/10 would definitely recommend! The hosts were quick and so easy to talk with, and the home was just absolutely gorgeous. The inside and outside gave such a great and unique impression that screamed “Welcome to Texas”, and the beds were so clean and comfortable. There wasn’t a single issue, and my group was very satisfied with everything. The location is perfect if you’re trying to get to San Antonio or Austin, and Canyon Lake is not from the property. It was a little chilly during my visit, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying my favorite part of the home, which was the balcony. It was relaxing and so tranquil, and each level had its only balcony. When I’m back in this part of Texas again, I will MOST CERTAINLY book again without hesitation!

Infinity Edge -Heated Pool/Lake View/Chef Kitchen
THE BEST AIRBNB WE HAVE STAYED AT. We were all very impressed with this home!! Beautiful views, very clean rooms, kitchen was loaded, the gas stove was very awesome, the hot tub was nice and warm upon arrival. We didn’t even leave the home, it was so cozy. The music connection outdoors was nice too! The infinity pool was very nice with an amazing view. The host was very responsive and made sure to accommodate us, we will definitely be back 😍

Lakeview Villa-Mediterranean Oasis with a View
Sandy's home is wonderful! The views are stunning, and every inch of this large home is interesting, clean, and delightful. There were "only" 8 of us, and we had lots and lots of space and were thrilled to be there. Did we mention the views?? Yes indeed. We hope to be able to rent this incredible home again.

Your guide to Comal River
Welcome to Comal River
Nestled in Texas’s bucolic Hill Country, the wide, blue, spring-fed Comal River is nothing short of idyllic — short being the operative word here. Locals have dubbed the waterway “the longest shortest river in the world” because it flows for just 2.5 miles, entirely contained within the city limits of charming New Braunfels.
The Comal is best known as a tubing destination. Folks flock here with inflated inner tubes to enjoy a respite from the heat, as they float along in the cool water, stopping at sandbars to picnic or swim. While the nearby Guadalupe, another popular tubing spot, has a few rapids and attracts boisterous crowds, the Comal offers a leisurely experience.
If you are looking for thrills, the Comal does run by — and feed — a popular waterpark. But you don’t have to get in the water to enjoy this lovely little river, which is lined with tree-shaded parks, home to endangered species, and an excellent spot to fish, canoe, and kayak.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Comal River
The best season for tubing in Texas is summer, when temperatures sizzle. But the Comal River stays a refreshing 70 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit, year-round, making for comfortable swimming on almost any sunny day. With approximately 25 million visitors every summer, booking one of the area’s rentals can be more challenging during this season, and the atmosphere becomes particularly spirited on holiday weekends. Plan to visit on a weekday if you want something a bit calmer. If you’d rather canoe or kayak — or enjoy the river from shore — consider visiting in the off season, when the weather is still warm and the river, bereft of tubers, is serene.
Top things to do in Comal River
Landa Park
The headwaters of the Comal River are located in the 51-acre Landa Park, where you can picnic riverside under sprawling oak trees. The park also includes a small lake, an arboretum with more than 80 species of trees, tennis courts, a mini golf course as well as a full-size one, hiking trails, and a miniature train. Two neighboring parks, Prince Solms Park and Hinman Island Park, also border the river and have areas for swimming and fishing.
Dive the Comal River
Scuba diving offers a completely different perspective on the Comal. The visibility of the spring waters is excellent, revealing numerous species of shellfish and small fish, including the endangered Fountain Darter, a little reddish-brown fish found only in the Comal and nearby San Marcos springs systems. The quick drift dive only takes 15 to 30 minutes, and divers can rent gear from shops in town.
Tube the Comal River
Tubing is a serious pastime here. Most folks start downriver from Wurstfest Grounds (home to the annual all-things-German festival in November) and float down to the Last Tuber’s Exit. Bring your own tube, or rent from one of the local outfitters, who offer every variety necessary and also offer air conditioned bus rides back to your starting spot.
