Riverfront condo / water park
Our son's birthday weekend was everything we hoped it would be...comfortable beds, lots of room, loved the balcony, beautiful views, well stocked kitchen. Very lovely...will definitely choose this place again!

2BD Luxury Condo | Water Views | Pool | Rainey St
This was a great location – and a perfect place to stay for a weekend! The condo was centrally located to everything so we were able to walk a lot of places and also over a short Uber to everything else. The inside was super clean. I did think that the master had a king bed but both of the beds were queens. I would definitely say that the one thing that it was missing which it had everything else with a full length mirror, especially for a group of girls to look at our outfits, but everything else was great!

Riverwalk spacious apt by downtown PearlAlamo|pool
Lina’s place is in the absolute best location in San Antonio. We hardly moved our car out of the parking lot, everything was walkable along the Riverwalk, and the walk is so beautiful! We loved the amenities available at the complex, and enjoyed the pool, gym, and pool table. Lina was extremely proactive in communicating the check-in and check-out process. We hope to be back again soon!

Downtown CityView Corner Gem:Riverwalk,King.Arcade
Location was tier S. There is a parking fee but definitely worth it for peace of mind and trust me you won’t be needing to move your car much. The riverwalk is literally just a couple feet away with the touristy area less than a ten minute walk including the Alamo. Location provides everything you need from a full clean kitchen to a washing unit for those with longer stays. At first I was worried about the squeakingness of the floorboards but it being a historical building it’s understandable and it gives character to the place. Only issue for me was the morning city sounds but it’s easily overlooked by everything else this location has to offer. Recently broke my leg and although not as “handicapped” this building is def equipped to facilitate anyone on a wheelchair or that is mobile restrained/constricted. It has elevators and a small lift for the entrance for wheelchairs, as well as an inside ramp. Our host was amazing. Very responsive and clear on instructions. Great place to stay!

The River Inn Condo on the Comal
Sabrina was so very accommodating! She allowed us both an early check-in and a late check-out. We barely used our rental car because we were able to walk to lots of coffee places and restaurants from the condo. Her place is very convenient to river tubing as the exit off of the river is literally across the street. The beds were comfy and everything was clean. We loved our stay!

Incredible View Of Downtown | Walk To Rainey St.
Amazing place with amazing views! We would definitely come back again!

Guadalupe Getaway
Amanda's place was very clean and looked just like the pictures. Located right next to the river, floating devices are provided.

Downtown condo on the River
Great unit! Walkable to everything downtown NB, Texas tubes right next door, peaceful - loved seeing all the deer! Host was super nice and even had a crockpot waiting for us when I inquired about one!

Lake Austin Waterfront! Family and Dog Friendly!
Ann’s place was exactly what we were looking for. It was quiet, comfortable, there was plenty of space for everyone and most of all a beautiful location. This place is great for a larger group and anything you need is there or available nearby. We had a relaxing few days there, fished, enjoyed being outside and our dogs really enjoyed the water:)

Waterfront, Pet-friendly Sanctuary w/ Hot tub
We had a wonderful time! The host was very communicative & checked in often! The home and property were beautiful and had everything we could have wanted to make the weekend super fun and memorable! We loved our stay!

*Dock | COZY Lake House
We had a great stay! The house was clean and very well stocked. The location was perfect and we loved sitting on the back patio enjoying the view! Jacob was very responsive as well.

Anchors Away - Lakefront Home
We had a great stay at Anchors Away! Nice house with a great view of Canyon Lake. The furniture and decor made us feel right at home. We really appreciated all of the extra touches of convenience - Qtips, toiletries, spices, etc. Also really appreciated a fully equipped kitchen to cook our meals. This is SO hard to find!! Plenty spacious for our family of 7. We enjoyed a lot of time out on the large deck. Enjoyed seeing deer in the backyards each morning and evening. Highly recommend!

Rustic Waters, on the beautiful Guadalupe River
Great location. Very comfortable and quiet. Hosts were excellent and extremely responsive. Recommended.

Lake Dunlap Lone Star
Great place to stay. Quiet and peaceful. You can sit out by the lake and fish. I would definitely stay there again. Deloris was quick to respond to emails.

The Lake Shack on Lake Travis
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home! The location is unbeatable—right on the water, with a private area perfect for fishing and unwinding in total peace. The house itself is cozy, spotless, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. But the real highlight is the patio—spacious, inviting, and offering stunning views that make it the perfect spot to relax. The host was incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back!

River View Retreat
Our stay was wonderful. We've been going to New Braunfels for years and this has been a favorite stay. Check in was easy, the house is in a great spot, has easy river access, and we loved that there was plenty of space for the entire family to spread out and be comfortable. Our one year old grandson had plenty of room to play in a safe place. The sunroom or the screened in porch is a perfect spot for coffee in the morning and having the chairs and BBQ pit were perfect for the evening. We floated twice from Little Ponderosa and got out right at the house which was great especially since some chose to just hang out in the river by the house. We will definitely look into staying here again. Thank you for being great hosts!

Downtown Retreat w/ Pool Access | Mins to DTN
Highly recommend. Great location it’s easy to everyone we had visited. Nice area too we always feel safe at home

Luxury Condo Walk to Rainey St & Lake, Pool & Gym
Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. The condo was beautiful, spacious and the amenities were great! Having a doorman to facilitate the checkin made the whole process feel just like a hotel. Really excellent BnB. No complaints.

Private River Access • Balcony • Pool • Hot Tub
The place is great with plenty of space for 6 people. The living room/main room area was very spacious and we never felt crowded. We enjoyed coffee in the morning on the balcony and heard over a dozen species of birds with a beautiful view of the very large lawn. The property is on the river but is so incredibly quiet. We really enjoyed paddle boarding and wading in the water and fishing. Recommend taking fishing poles and live worms, you’ll catch lots of bass. Also recommend taking inner tubes because there’s a great little rapid on the river that we had a blast going down. The water was incredibly clear too. It was easy parking wise and a short trip to Gruene. We will be back!

Jaw-Dropping Luxury Condo | Rainey | Rooftop Pool
First off Jason was super communicative. The instructions for this location are superb. The layout and amenities were perfect for our four person group with one set of bunk beds, a pull out sofa, and a master bed. It has a full kitchen as well. The location is incredible and definitely worth every penny. There is a bar downstairs with friendly bar tenders and this location is such a melting pot it was fun to start up random conversations with interesting people. It took less than 5 mins walk to be at Rainey St. It felt like everything else was about a 7 min uber ride. Thanks Jason for the detailed instructions and quick response times. Your place helped us make many amazing memories. Can’t wait to come visit again!

Dos Rios Retreat- Downtown Riverfront Condo
We had a great time in this cozy space!

Hot Spot on Comal River. Best Location in town.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, it was a nice room with a pool, hot tub and river nearby. Definitely enhanced my stay.

Comfy Comal River Condo at River Run
Ideal location and beautiful property. Condo was well furnished and very clean. Comfortable linens and beds. Would absolutely stay here again!

Shared Hot Tub & Pool | Grill | River Access
This was our second time to stay on this unit and it was great both times.
