Very nice condo in a great location

We enjoyed the stay immensely. Clean unit in a great location with a very good view of the Walden Marina. One key was the ability to dock our boat at the bulkhead right outside the window. We highly recommend this property.

Great Place To Stay!

The condo we stayed in was very nice, clean and comfortable. There was easy access to the lake. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and the pool and fishing off the dock. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Convenient location for boaters

We only used the condo for a place to sleep and shower as we spent all of our time out on the lake. The marina is very well protected and plenty deep enough for our 25ft boat with lots of bulkheading and cleats to tie up overnight. It's a big marina so it takes 5-10 minutes to navigate before you get to open water. Boat ramps are also about 10 minutes away from the marina. Condo is walking distance to a restaurant with a view for dinner and brunch, or take your boat over and tie up at their courtesy docks with space for 4-5 boats. The neighbors are very friendly but also lively as indicated by the host. Definitely a great place to stay for the price.

We stayed here after a football game in College Station. Great space, well appointed, comfortable beds, very clean! Loved the access to the Walden amenities - walkable to the Racquet Club with great tennis and pickleball courts. Easy access to stores and restaurants.

Great view and location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay over the weekend. The location close to Walden Marina is great. The condo was clean and beautifully decorated. The owner was quick with communication and that is always so appreciated. I only wish we could have stayed longer. We hope to be back soon!

Absolute gem for our quick staycation

This condo was perfect for our stay. Communication with the host Sarah was precise, timely and she was so polite. Everything was clean and anything we needed for cooking was available. The lake view was beautiful from our balcony and bedroom. I would highly recommend this place and would stay again in a heartbeat.

The View is EVERYTHING

My stay was amazing. The view again is EVERYTHING. I also wanted to state, "You have great neighbors. We could not remember the code to get into the gate. The sun had caused us to become bitter to each other. I can not remember his name, but he informed us that he was the downstairs neighbor. Long story short, he saved us from the dessert sun." I wanted to stay longer.... 5 stars all the way...

Location, location, location

We enjoyed our stay even though there were some setbacks. The condo was clean for the most part except the ceiling fans had a layer of dust on them which we had to clean in order to turn them on and not have dust fly everywhere. The front room is warmer than the master bedroom which is why the fan was needed. The bathtub function didn't work in the hall bath which we informed the owner about. The listing needs to be updated to reflect there is one parking tag as opposed to two. Other than those things, we enjoyed our stay. It's a corner unit which is nice. Rarely heard the neighbors so mostly quiet. We walked to a restaurant in the complex which was convenient. If we had a boat, it's nice that you can tie it off in front of where you're staying. If the owner had refunded the cleaning fee since it wasn't entirely clean when we got there then i would've given this five stars.
