Summary: Kitchen is fully equipped with cooking accessories. 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!!

Summary: We were looking for a VRBO near the Wedding Venue (Posey Meadows) in San Marcos, this place met our expectations, nicely updated throughout, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths gave everyone the space needed. 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.

Summary: This home has everything! 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.

Summary: The house was nice but I was disappointed with the overall cleanliness of the home. The master bathroom does not have hot water in the shower.

Jan 7, 2025 01:37:36 AM
Summary: This property has a few problems that could easily be fixed. 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.

Summary: Stayed in this house for my son’s college graduation. The house was clean, spacious enough to host a dinner for family and friends, had plenty of parking and the location was awesome! Will stay again if we are ever back that way but goodbye for now San Marcos!

Summary: Karina was a great host from booking to checking out and was quick to respond during our stay. It was the perfect spot for family over Thanksgiving break with a fully stocked kitchen, outdoor seating, comfortable beds, and great gathering spaces in the dining and living rooms. Walking distance to the river and Square!
