Convenient to DT San Marcos and our venue. The only area of improvement would be to have a larger water heater as with the nice garden tub in use and showers going hot water struggled to keep up, easy fix. We would return, we enjoyed our stay. ##### Jim W. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean R.

Location is perfect - close to the river, campus, and stores. Communication was excellent. Overall we had a great experience! ##### Sarah C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bill P.

The master bathroom does not have hot water in the shower. ##### Bill P. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHRISTINA H.

A beautiful property that has the perfect location. It was a very short walk to the San Marcos River and park. Also, short driving distance to popular areas such as the San Marco Shopping Outlet. The house provided all the things we needed brand new! First rental that we were not missing something. Plenty of space for our families, and big yard for the kids to run around and enjoy. Will definitely be back! ##### CHRISTINA H. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Leah M.

The biggest is that two of the showers don’t have hot enough water - it was only lukewarm. The host was very responsive but if the maintenance man ever came, we didn’t see him, and the water problem never got fixed. Also, the house needs a luggage rack or dresser. Better curtains would help as well. ##### Leah M. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kerri S.

Location is perfect for trips to TXST, town square, grocery store and restaurants! The neighborhood is old but very quiet and we felt perfectly safe! Inside the house is completely redone and exceptionally clean. Beds and linens were great, lots of space in the living room and kitchen for visiting, great natural light and the temperature inside was balanced and comfortable. The extras made the stay even better! The coffee bar came with gourmet-tasting coffee, filters, and tea choices- and sugar (thank you!) The bath had bath salts/bubbles and the showers had great shampoo/soap/conditioner. This is one of the few places that allows you to bring your pet and the backyard was amazing for my dog. My TXST student was really missing him and it made for a special visit. If you have a tiny dog be aware there is space around the side where a little one could squeeze under the fence. The host was easy to communicate with and very nice! Obviously, I recommend staying here. ##### kerri S. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Wendy A.

Cons: All but the owners room and bathroom had guaze/sheer curtains so no way to block the sun or prying eyes (for the bathroom). There were two bedrooms where the doors malfunctions. One due to the hinges coming off but never fixed and the two doors required special work to keep closed. The water never got warmer than a tepid warm. Overall, it served our purposes but it wasn’t in great shape. ##### Wendy A. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### burt b.

The proximity is amazingly close to Rio Vista (free municipal park) about a four block walk. Made it so easy to spend the morning at the river. Come home for lunch. Go back to the river and still have an evening of family time. The access to I 35 is awesome. Having four bathrooms with 10 people made things very nice. The proximity to the Olympic outdoor center on the other side of the freeway, makes it extremely easy to get to professional guides and rental of toys and access to tours and professional kayak instruction at kayakinstruction.org. ##### burt b.

Plenty of room to move around, and great backyard for extra gathering space. ##### Anne J. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom W.

We prepared meals and enjoyed family and friends for dinner. Exceptional access to the river walk, parks and walking path. Our host was very responsive. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were welcoming. The back yard is in close proximity to the interstate. No issues with noise or safety. A very pleasant stay! Thank you!! ##### Tom W.
