Riverfront condo / water park
It was so lovely. Such a cute place, thoughtfully decorated/stocked. Will absolutely return

Lake Travis Water Front Apartment with Boat Launch
BEAUTIFUL location and home!!! Extremely picturesque, feels secluded and private, the bathroom is gorgeous, all the amenities are perfect and George and Kim were amazing hosts, went above and beyond to make sure we were extremely comfortable and had a great vacation.

Tube or Yak like you own the river+ Pool Hot Tub!!
This condo is centrally located making getting to downtown, Landa Park, the water park, and just about all N.B. offers very easy. You could walk to Wurstfest from this location. It is right on the Comal river so you can jump in the river anytime. The unit was very comfortable. You will hear the trains when they move through town since the tracks are right next to the complex so take note if you are a light sleeper.

Wake up to Lake Views from Every Window
Nice clean with a great view. We really enjoyed our stay.

2BD Luxury Condo | Water Views | Pool | Rainey St
Dakota's apartment was an excellent stay. The view is absolutely amazing. The apartment itself is very elegant, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is sufficiently stocked for cooking and great coffee. The beds and living area furniture are very comfortable and a nice quality. The showers are also nice. The location of the apartment building is great and very walkable to restaurants and entertainment. The apartment building is nice, safe and efficient (as well as the valet parking). The front desk staff are friendly and will securely store luggage until check-in time. Note that the check-in staff seem to only rely on the host for details of the apartment, thankfully Dakota is very responsive. We look forward to staying here again!

Romantic RiverWalk Gem: Historic Charm & Comfort
Not only was this space charming, it is full of amazing history! We were able to walk almost everywhere we went and that saved a ton on parking for our adventures! Gina is an incredible host! Ive stayed at quite a few Airbnb’s and Gina is by far the best host I’ve ever had. Very clear instructions and extremely responsive! Gina was very hospitable and truly helped make our trip an incredible experience. This home and host truly were the cherry on top of an amazing San Antonio vacation!

Riverwalk spacious apt by downtown PearlAlamo|pool
This place was absolutely amazing! It was close to everything within walking distance. The pool was a plus in the hot weather. I would stay here again when I visit San Antonio.

The River Inn Condo on the Comal
We had a great stay. Location is excellent. Close to Schlitterbahn. Can easily get in and float to public access and walk back. Also walking distance to downtown.

River Access | Firepit | BBQ | Pet Friendly
We were in town for a baseball tournament and this was the perfect place to stay! Great location, comfortable and the river close by gave the kids something to do! Will definitely book again!

Red Bird River House
The river house was clean, comfortable, and in a nice location by the water. It had everything we needed for a quiet stay. Kerri was responsive and helpful whenever I had questions, which made things very easy. Overall, a great experience.

Best Lake Travis sunset! Pizza oven Pool Spa Kayak
We had a fabulous stay at this property. Gorgeous location and plenty of extra amenities. Kathy is a very responsive host that gave great local recommendations and keeps her house well stocked with everything you might need. She is very thoughtful too, it was my daughter’s first birthday and when we arrived we were welcomed with a balloon and birthday candle that made the stay feel extra special. Beds are quite comfy and she was also able to provide a crib for my daughter. Beautiful views especially at sunset. Pool was clean and felt refreshing after our swims. Plenty of grilling options to choose from as well. We would definitely stay here again 👍

Modern Lake House~Private Pool/Spa~Lake Views
Jay's place was absolutely amazing. Very peaceful, clean, comfortable, easy to find and even has neighborhood park with pickle ball, pool and lake access. Close to lake Travis and Austin, but with a private and exclusive feel. The pool was amazing, but most of all the host was very responsive, respectful, friendly and accessible. It overall is a 5 star experience! I would definitely go back and I highly recommend!

Float, Fish & Chill | Riverfront-SUP/Kayaks/Grill
Jennfier was a super host. She was very responsive to any questions we had in advance of our arrival and checked on us once we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed and that we found things. The house was just what we expected based on the description and pictures and was very nicely appointed and comfortable. It was like being at home. The location on the Guadalupe River was perfect and allowed us to enjoy some time out at the river since it had such easy access. We couldn't have booked a more perfect place our weekend in New Braunfels.

Rusty Rock Guadalupe River Getaway
This place was great for so many reasons. private access to the river, so spacious, lots of beds and stocked with anything you may need on your trip. Definitely recommend for a group that is looking to have fun and float down the river. All of the kids in our group had a blast.

The River House Guadalupe
This vacation home was everything we wanted and more! My friends and I truly enjoyed every single thing. Will 100% book this again next year!

Riverfront Property on the San Marcos River
My family enjoyed our stay at Robert's place during our daughter's graduation at Texas State. The house was big enough for us to host several friends and family. The beds were comfortable, big bathrooms, and the house was stocked with everything you need! The river in the backyard is so beautiful and we got to enjoy that as well. I would highly recommend.

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

Retreat on the River! Heated Pools & Hot Tubs
This is our second time staying at Matt & Nikki’s place and we enjoyed it almost just as much as the first time. The condo itself is so nice and Matt & Nikki do a great job adding a lot of aesthetic touches and conveniences that make us feel right at home. Also, with easy access to the water park, the river, pools, and great restaurants, the location makes this a perfect vacation spot. I do have to mention that our vehicle was towed to San Marcos during our stay, which was unfortunate… we put the parking permit away when we went out to dinner on our last evening and forgot to put it back up when we got back the condo. When we woke up in the morning, our vehicle was gone. However, Matt was very responsive (on a Sunday) and accommodating in giving us extra time on checkout day and helping me find the information to get it sorted out. Don’t let that scare you away though. All that is just to say, take Matt & Nikki’s warnings about keeping the parking pass visible at all times seriously!

Downtown Rainey District 29th Floor
I recently enjoyed this stay, and it was everything I hoped for, relaxing, refreshing, and absolutely perfect! From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was inviting and peaceful. The building accommodations were spot on, and provided all the comforts of home with an added touch of luxury. I loved the bar (for drinks and coffee) downstairs. Friendly and attentive staff without being intrusive. Parking was by (24/7) valet or paid street parking only. I highly recommend this stay to anyone wanting the downtown Austin vibe.

Mission Amore ❤️ Island @ Lake Travis
This place was absolutely the best! Great pictures. Very accurate. Great location! Great hosts! Very informative. Checked in with me making sure all was well and reminded me of check out time and process. This I can say was one of the best Hosts and places I’ve ever stayed. Very satisfied and will Definitely book again with them!

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!

Hot Spot on Comal River. Best Location in town.
Great spot on the Comal River. Made it easy to float, and quickly get back to the Airbnb. Communication was good, and the place was clean and the beds were comfortable. Will stay there again in the future.
