Nice Location and Backyard

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location, and the backyard was great for my dog and grandson.

Great family house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in a great location if your attending the water park and/or floating the Comal. Close to everything. Perfect size for a family of 5-6. If you love turtles this is the home decor for you. Bathroom sinks need aerators in the faucets.

This property was perfect for our family of 7. We loved the backyard games. Also location is perfect if you want to be close to the river. Parks and restaurants are within walking distance.

We had a wonderful stay. The property management company is super responsive and check in and check out were very easy. The house is a little small but the location is absolutely perfect! You are just across the parking lot from the main entrance to Schlitterbahn. The house came with tubes so we bought a mini air compressor at Walmart and used those to float the river. That saved us 25/day/person because we didn’t have to use an outfitter. If you stay here, walk around the corner to taco loco (in the gas station), you won’t regret it! It’s a great rental! Just book it!

Great location!

Great location. You can walk home for lunch from Schlitterbahn. Loved the blackout curtains in every room for sleeping. Also, I really appreciate this property having so many extra pillows! The property is beautifully decorated! The layout of this property was well thought out- It is very small but used every inch efficiently. We really enjoyed our stay!

Schlitterbahn vacation house

Fantastic vacation house for a Schlitterbahn vacation. House is directly across the street from the original Schlitterbahn entrance. You can easily go back to house for lunch while playing in the old side of the park. Back yard was great and the house is nicely furnished. Its a small 3 bed 2 bath so its a little cramped, but if your here for the water park who needs much space in the house.
