2BR Pet-Friendly Stylish Retreat with Pool
The aparment was perfect in every way that we hoped for. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, ready to use kitchen and so much more. If we ever go back to San Antonio we will definitely book again!

2BD Luxury Condo | Water Views | Pool | Rainey St
This was a great location – and a perfect place to stay for a weekend! The condo was centrally located to everything so we were able to walk a lot of places and also over a short Uber to everything else. The inside was super clean. I did think that the master had a king bed but both of the beds were queens. I would definitely say that the one thing that it was missing which it had everything else with a full length mirror, especially for a group of girls to look at our outfits, but everything else was great!

Romantic RiverWalk Gem: Historic Charm & Comfort
First visit to San Antonio and I’m so glad we stayed here. The location is lovely and super walkable. I walked downtown with my 6 year old son, and there were plenty of cafes and restaurants along the way. The hosts are very responsive and the room was perfectly clean.

La Concepción | King BD • Resort Pool • Gym 24/7
great place to stay, especially on a short notice thank you Maria and Alex will for sure be back again!!

Downtown CityView Corner Gem:Riverwalk,King.Arcade
Location was tier S. There is a parking fee but definitely worth it for peace of mind and trust me you won’t be needing to move your car much. The riverwalk is literally just a couple feet away with the touristy area less than a ten minute walk including the Alamo. Location provides everything you need from a full clean kitchen to a washing unit for those with longer stays. At first I was worried about the squeakingness of the floorboards but it being a historical building it’s understandable and it gives character to the place. Only issue for me was the morning city sounds but it’s easily overlooked by everything else this location has to offer. Recently broke my leg and although not as “handicapped” this building is def equipped to facilitate anyone on a wheelchair or that is mobile restrained/constricted. It has elevators and a small lift for the entrance for wheelchairs, as well as an inside ramp. Our host was amazing. Very responsive and clear on instructions. Great place to stay!

Incredible View Of Downtown | Walk To Rainey St.
Amazing place with amazing views! We would definitely come back again!

Luxury Texas Condo on The Island, Lago Vista

Downtown condo on the River

Waterfront house rentals

Waterfront, Pet-friendly Sanctuary w/ Hot tub
We had a wonderful time! The host was very communicative & checked in often! The home and property were beautiful and had everything we could have wanted to make the weekend super fun and memorable! We loved our stay!

Hill Country Waterfront Lake Travis House
Wish we could've stayed longer! The area is located in the middle of so many things that would be great to do wine tasting, whiskey places, restaurants, bars, attractions. If you do your research before arriving you'll have a list of things to do. Nonetheless, if evem if you don't, and you decide to stay at the house its feels secluded enough and spacious enough that that youre not crammed. The kitchen has so many cooking utensils and pots/pans that it felt like a home away from home. The grill was such a plus and with a full propane tank! Lastly, the dock offered so much space that if needed you could dip and sunbathe all you want. I will be back!

Boat Dock Road House
Lacey’s place was nothing short of amazing! Easily accessible, very clean and tons of things to do at the lake house! We enjoyed the kayaks, and fishing, and hiking. The ONLY thing that was a bummer was getting to the boat dock. Due to the low water levels, we had to walk down several stairs to get to it, which was stressful with a toddler. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, Lacey was quickly responsive and even checked on us the morning after our first night to ensure we were comfortable and set up.

The Lake Shack on Lake Travis
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home! The location is unbeatable—right on the water, with a private area perfect for fishing and unwinding in total peace. The house itself is cozy, spotless, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. But the real highlight is the patio—spacious, inviting, and offering stunning views that make it the perfect spot to relax. The host was incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back!

Lake Travis Waterfront,Amazing Views,Games,Pets OK
Teresa was great! Was so helpful in helping us. The house was beautiful and comfortable. Will definitely be staying here again!

Spacious Waterfront-Hot tub Fire Pit Arcade Kayaks
My group had a great time. The pictures were spot-on with what you get; it was clean and so spacious. Everyone loved the outdoor area too

Home w/Dock & Firepit, Long Stays near Lake Dunlap
Had a great stay at Michael’s place! The property is in a beautiful, quiet waterfront location — perfect for a relaxing getaway. The home itself was very well maintained, clean, and comfortable. Everything was just as described, and you can tell Michael takes pride in keeping the place in excellent shape. Would definitely stay here again!

New Lakefront! Huge 1-Story! Ample Space! Must See
House was a good choice for our large group of people! River front was quiet and peaceful with lots of outdoor space to relax. Location was convenient to downtown New Braunfels, but far enough out of the hustle and bustle. Would recommend and would stay again! Chad and Gaby were great hosts!
Waterfront condo rentals

Private River Access • Balcony • Pool • Hot Tub
The place is great with plenty of space for 6 people. The living room/main room area was very spacious and we never felt crowded. We enjoyed coffee in the morning on the balcony and heard over a dozen species of birds with a beautiful view of the very large lawn. The property is on the river but is so incredibly quiet. We really enjoyed paddle boarding and wading in the water and fishing. Recommend taking fishing poles and live worms, you’ll catch lots of bass. Also recommend taking inner tubes because there’s a great little rapid on the river that we had a blast going down. The water was incredibly clear too. It was easy parking wise and a short trip to Gruene. We will be back!

Dos Rios Retreat- Downtown Riverfront Condo
Nice place just like described. Nicely setup, on the river, although we did not use it, it was cold when we were there. Host always communicated very well. Clean, all the amenities needed were there. Neighborhood outside of gated community was a little rough, but not a knock against the place. Great price and great place!

Comfy Comal River Condo at River Run
Ideal location and beautiful property. Condo was well furnished and very clean. Comfortable linens and beds. Would absolutely stay here again!

ATX Hill Country Hacienda at Island on Lake Travis
We really enjoyed our stay! Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but if you go during a nice sunny time there would be lots to do! It’s a sweet little community and all the deer coming up to us was so fun!!! The place was exactly what we expected, and it shocked us that there were other guests staying there the night before us and you couldn’t even tell it was clean!

Splendid Lake Travis Island Condo
I had a wonderful stay while on a work trip at Obichukwu Joshua’s condo. Directions were easy to follow for parking and check-in. The condo was clean and nicely equipped. The building is in a beautiful setting along the water with a nice pool area.

Waterfront Condo on Lady Bird Lake
Great apartment. Super clean. Beautiful setting, right on the waterfront. Good location. Easy check in. David provided clear instructions and was a great communicator. We would love to stay here again when we are back in Austin.

Treasure on the COMAL! Downtown with Pool/Hot Tub!
Responsive to questions, nice place, great location, would rent again

Comal riverfront condo, walk to the Bahn, 2b/2b
We could not have picked a better place to vacation with our family. Thank you for the peace of mind!
