Everything was great. The property accommodated our group of 21 easily. Everyone particularly enjoyed the blackjack table in the game room and the hot tub outside. When we flipped a breaker the host communicated with us quickly and had us back up and running without delay. Will definitely be back
This was our second stay, and it was just as lovely as the first time. Our daughters loved walking the beach and discovering all the amazing shells and beach treasures! Lots of sea life to be seen right out front also.
What a cool location! This was perfect for our group of five families with kids ranging from 5-17. The grounds are sprawling enough for kids to run around without worrying about disturbing neighbors, and we loved having access to the pool, pickleball, etc. Just a quick drive to San Marcos and New Braunfels recreation areas.
Lovely, secluded, private location in the hill country not far from interstate 35. Nicely maintained. Plenty of room for my family of 29 including adults and children. Check in time was a later than originally stated, but owner was very accommodating.
Our stay was a wonderful experience. Had trouble with the hot tub and the jets didn’t work in the tub in master bedroom. Just some little things. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it for family reunions. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the activities in the big tent.
We had a wonderful holiday here. It’s such a beautiful setting and very safe. The children could just roam the property and play. Huge tent where we played pickle ball. Great for a large group! We would definitely come back!
The house setup was ideal for us and our 3 grown children and their families. We made good use of the casita for one of the families and the rest of us fit comfortably in the house, With the games, pool, and pickleball court, there were ample activities to keep people of all ages occupied. The location near all of the outdoor activities and restaurants in New Braunfels was ideal. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.
We took a group of high school seniors down for a graduation trip. We had both houses full of kids! They had a blast! The houses are both beautifully kept! They had everything we needed for our large group. So easy to communicate with owners for any questions we had. We will definitely be booking again!

We hope you return and we’re so glad to hear that your seniors had a memorable trip!
We were a group little more than 30 people and the property was nice but the interior seemed like old fashioned. Nice place to hang out with large group and had a good time overall.
Pros:
Good outside scenic views.
Nice places to take pictures.
Very spacious outside.
Nice place for kids/adults to play next to the guest house.
Very fast response communication from the supervisor.
Cons:
The bigger stove burner in the kitchen didn't work and the maintenance staff were not able to fix it and we had to be there without that burner.
Saw a mouse multiple times just roaming around inside the house and the glass area above the kitchen. Called the supervisor and they came and put some mouse traps too but of no use.
The grill near the pool was not cleaned properly.
The trash bags were not sufficient for our group.
There were a couple of neighbor's dogs that showed up on the property and eventually the maintenance staff and the dog owners stopped by to take the dogs away.
We are a family-owned and operated business who truly love to travel and love hosting other travel-loving families. Casa Blanca is a beautiful home located at La Dolce Vita Estates, a property that originally began as a wedding and special event venue designed for unforgettable experiences. Over time, and with an ever-changing world, we’ve learned to adapt — growing Casa Blanca into a unique short-term rental that still allows on-site events, giving families and groups a special place to both stay and celebrate. We spend countless hours caring for and improving this property to make it perfect for every occasion — from relaxing family vacations to meaningful celebrations. Everything you see here has been thoughtfully created to help our guests slow down, reconnect, and make memories we know will last a lifetime. It is truly our joy to share this special place with families from all over, and we look forward to hosting you at Casa Blanca.
Why they chose this property
The beginning of the Texas Hill Country is something special, and Casa Blanca truly reflects that magic. The property feels less like a rental and more like your own private nature retreat. Surrounded by mature oak trees and open land, it offers the peaceful atmosphere of a state park with the comfort and convenience of a luxury estate. It’s a place where mornings are slow, evenings are golden, and memories are made naturally.
What makes this property unique
Most rentals offer a house. Casa Blanca offers a compound-style stay — two fully equipped homes, walking paths, gathering spaces, and activity areas. It allows large groups to be together while still giving families privacy, quiet spaces, and room to spread out.
