As the Texas Hill Country transforms into a warm tapestry of gold and amber, unwind on the expansive lawn, breathe in crisp autumn air, and create lasting memories with those you love. Direct access to Canyon Lake — a sparkling jewel framed by changing leaves — invites you to spend your days kayaking, paddleboarding, or enjoying peaceful fall swims. For a little adventure, head to the Guadalupe River just 20 minutes away, where tubing and rafting feel magical under the golden glow of the season. After exploring, gather in the lush garden and open lawn, the perfect setting for evening firepit chats, cozy sweaters, and stargazing under clear fall skies. Watch graceful deer wander through the property and let the slower pace of the season remind you to savor simple joys. Whether you’re planning a Thanksgiving getaway, a family reunion, a friends’ retreat, or a romantic small wedding, Waters Edge is more than a vacation rental — it’s an experience. It’s where you’ll reconnect with nature, celebrate the season, and make memories that will warm your heart long after autumn ends. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - In-room accessibility - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Unit size: 2,300 square feet ## Similar properties ![Games room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/290000/288400/288321/ef3ca433.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Riverwalk Plaza Downtown San Antonio - Pool - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Air-conditioning 8.0 Very good 6,377 reviews £85 includes taxes & fees 19 Feb - 20 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=288321&PinnedHotelID=288321&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/10700/10636/b322b66a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk Downtown San Antonio - Pool - Spa - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi 9.2 Wonderful 2,018 reviews £198 includes taxes & fees 21 Feb - 22 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-21&endDate=2026-02-22&selected=10636&PinnedHotelID=10636&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1120000/1113200/1113168/4657a7fb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hyatt Vacation Club at Wild Oak Ranch, San Antonio Far West Side - Pool - Hot tub - Water slide - Parking included 9.0 Wonderful 1,453 reviews £105 includes taxes & fees 1 Mar - 2 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=1113168&PinnedHotelID=1113168&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (4 Bedrooms) | Private kitchen | Microwave, oven, dining tables](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93650000/93647900/93647885/w2843h1900x19y0-92bedf22.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Your Dream Stay 4br/2ba Near Downtown & Riverwalk Near East Side - Kitchen - Dryer - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews £181 includes taxes & fees 25 Feb - 26 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=93647885&PinnedHotelID=93647885&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90680000/90675700/90675646/w2843h1900x19y0-a8439d76.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Adorable 4BR 2BA Close to Riverwalk and Downtown Arena District - Kitchen - Dryer - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews £195 includes taxes & fees 25 Feb - 26 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=90675646&PinnedHotelID=90675646&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82870000/82864800/82864753/w2843h1900x19y0-44833117.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Captivating 4BR 2BA Home Near Awesome Downtown Arena District - Kitchen - Dryer - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 7.2 Good 12 reviews £157 includes taxes & fees 23 Feb - 24 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=82864753&PinnedHotelID=82864753&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94480000/94471200/94471179/828ac044.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Lake Retreat w/ Patio & Boat Parking!
