Family vacation - this condo was the perfect size for our family of four. The location was great, we were in town to visit Schlitterbahn water park. While it is within walking distance, we chose to drive the parks. Great communication with property manager, no issues with check in/out or the property at all. Would stay again

It was a great place to stay on the river.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
We loved our stay here. The property was quite possibly the cleanest vrbo that we have ever stayed at. Our favorite thing to do here at the end of the day was to plunk our chairs in the river and watch our boys enjoy the water. I will rent from these owners again at any of their locations!
6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
Overall, this is a nice property with access to the river and a nice pool. Unfortunately, the king bed was not cleaned. It was made up, but the sheets and pillowcases were obviously dirty. This was very disappointing as I did not realize this until it was past bedtime for my small children that were sleeping with me in the bed. The owner was kind and quick to respond, but there was not an immediate solution as there were no other clean king size sheets available. I fully understand this is the cleaner's misdoing and not the owner's fault, but like I said, it was disappointing to have to deal with that. When you are paying so much to stay here, you at least expect a clean bed.
