Spring break 2025

We stayed for one day so my son could enjoy the river for his spring break. This place was perfect for that and everything is very close by if you decide to Uber or walk. This place was very quite and relaxing.

Beautiful home! Everything was just as advertised. Its a lovely spacious home, all appliances/etc worked great, comfy bed, etc. Really liked the location being a little tucked away, but still having very easy and walkable access to most everything in San Marcos. Hope to be back!

Great experience!

Pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed the outdoor space (packed folding chairs). The home was as advertised and very clean. The neighborhood was relatively quiet and we were able to walk dogs safely. Owner was very accommodating and responded promptly to any questions that we had before and during our stay. We would definitely stay again!

River getaway

This experience was smooth, and our stay was perfect! The house is clean with good energy, and style. The backyard is great for dogs, and a wrap around patio makes getting around outside easy. We will use this rental for any future stays! 5 stars
