Our family of five had a wonderful stay at this condo. We for comfortably in the space, beds were comfy, kitchen had everything we needed and they even provided washing pods and supplies such as that so we didn’t need any of our own. This condo is a short walk to the on site pools and to Schlitterbahn which was a huge help because that was a main attraction of our trip. Owners are very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this property! ##### Meghann M.

Condo is as pictured and well stocked. Kitchen has everything you need. Beds were comfy. If you’re coming here to float, take an Uber to the drop off point (or tube company) and exit right at the condo.

We are residents of New Braunfels but working and living in Mexico. We are always looking for a nice place to stay when we come back to visit our family. We absolutely loved this condo. It is beautifully furnished. The king size bed in the master is super comfortable. We are clean freaks, and this place was cleaned to our standards. The decor was "homey". Great wifi and TV's. This is the first place we have stayed where the kitchen actually had all the extra appliances, cookware, and utensils you need to cook anything. Even a nice Keurig for coffee. We had a great time with family. Very quiet and peaceful place, plus a perfect view towards the river. Seriously, this place has it all, you will not be disappointed renting this condo. ##### Jeff D. Stayed 12 nights in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vanessa G. 28 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location This was a great property the only issue was the water shut off for a few hours and though it wasn’t the owners fault and there was nothing they could do. It was very inconvenient as we were all wet and cold from the pool and needed to wash clothes. It’s a shame to pay practically $450 a night for something like this to happen. It took about 4 hours before it got turned back on. ##### Vanessa G.
