Eclipse trip
This was a good location for our family trip. There is easy access to the Frio with lovely Cypress trees shading the river. There is a hammock and a fire pit down by the river entrance. In the backyard there is bbq, cement cornhole set up, horseshoes, a tire swing, and areas for volleyball and tether ball. Most of the rooms are however are dark (which can be a good thing). A fan is helpful as well. Key pick up & drop off is ~25 minutes away in Concan. We did not have cell service, but the wifi was strong and were able to communicate via that method. TV cable was not set up, so if you plan on watching something, bring a firestick. It’s not a fancy place, but overall it fit our needs for the weekend and worked out perfectly. The access to the Frio is solid.

We really enjoyed Aqua Bonita. The house was plenty big, the pool and outside area are STUNNING and access to the river is just a couple minutes away. We will be back for sure😎

Perfect location
This property has river access and had water when parts of the river didn’t for floating. Very nice to be able to walk out and go get cooled off in the river. Beautiful scenery! House works perfect if you have quite a few teens with you. They had their own area in the bunk house with plenty of beds and space. Would stay again.

Frio stay
Location was great and had somewhere to swim. House was a little rough, a lot of broken furniture and window but we did have plenty of room for everybody. Pecan trees where little crazy because there was tons of sap on everything .

Swimming Hole
The location of property is great. There is a deep swimming hole which had water when no one else had water. The river bank and outside area is great. The house itself needs work and a good cleaning. None of the acs worked right. We could not stay in the bunkhouse as it was so hot.

Perfect Blended Family Week
This house was perfect for us to being all of our grown kids and our grands to spend the week together. We had all ages entertained and engaged and not stuck in their phones. A couple of ceiling fans on the back deck as well as in the bunkhouse and bedrooms would not go amiss. We had to go and buy some box fans to really get the air moving in the bunkhouse. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was great. The house worked for our group and was clean. The oven did have something spilled in the bottom that smoked when used, but it was really not a big deal. Informed them at check out, so I'm sure they will clean it up. The place could use a few fixes, but we loved it regardless. The water was low, but the area in front of our place was perfect. We had plenty water to play in. Check In/Out was a breeze.

Needs Updated Photos!
We loved this place and we were shocked at how beautiful the property was! The only two complaints I have is that the check in/ check out location was a bit out of the way for us, a lockbox on the door would have been much easier than driving an extra 30 min each way to the pick up and drop off location for the keys. The only other thing this place needs is better photos of the property and home itself. The photos online are dark and dingy and have a dated feel. Hire a photographer to take some better photos of the house itself, the property, and the amenities. It would also help for renters to know what the house looks like when they drive by so they don’t miss it (not sure why the front of the house wouldn’t be included in the photos).
