Guadalupe Getaway

The place was comfortable and clean. Very close to several recreation spots and restaurants. The property is excellent with multiple pools and hot tubs and river access. This particular unit is not very private which is fine if you are there for activity. We’ve come out of a stressful season and wanted a place to just sit and rest so I was a little disappointed in the fact that the balcony is open and right by the walkway and staircase…not quiet and not private. Also the quiet hours are 11 pm - 7 am and the noise started at 7:01 am every day. Again fine if you are going to be up and going but since we were wanting more of a quiet trip it was a little disappointing. Not at all worth taking a star off. That was my fault for not doing more research. Overall this is a wonderful place and we would definitely come back for an “active” trip.

Great pool and hot tubs gave us plenty to do for the day without even leaving the condo. Very convenient location within walking distance of tubing and attractions. A very short drive to historic downtown square and wonderful German food at Alpine House!

Great pool

This was the clearest condo I have ever stayed in. Everything was immaculate including the grounds, pools, and hot tubs. This condo is centrally located near everything and made getting around so easy. Thank you for a wonderful and stress free stay!

We always love the River behind the hotel. Didn't get to get in the River this year due to the rapid moving water. Maybe next year. Always love staying in New Braunfels and this Rental place.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was really close to Schlitterbahn (about a mile walk or quick drive). And the condo property is on a pretty and calm section of the river with easy access. The condo was clean and had everything stocked in the kitchen and bathroom. We had a nice patio with table and chairs too. We also used the community charcoal grills and picnic tables which was convenient. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of extra linens and blankets. The only negative was that the plumbing was extremely loud. Every time the upstairs guests flushed their toilet in the middle of the night, it would wake us up. It sounds like a deluge in the bedroom closet. I know that’s out of there control but heads up for next guest. There was also a minor issue with the couch. A piece fell off and had exposed sharp screws sticking out. We don’t have any children so it wasn’t a big deal. I messaged Vacasa and they were courteous and offered to fix it. We were ok with it until after we left. Overall, we had a great trip and would come back.

My husband and I stayed here for our baby moon. We absolutely loved the location and the place overall.It was peaceful and quiet. The only problem we encounter is getting kicked out of the pool by security because our place did not have any wrist band for us. We were upset because we read on the instructions that these were supposed to be in our room. Overall I would rate this place a 4 out of 5 simply because we were able to call management and they were able to provide us with wristband. We will for sure be back.

This is our second year staying at Waterwheel for Wurstfest. The condo is comfortable, clean, and meets our needs perfectly! We felt safe entering, exiting, and using the amenities. Security is present on the grounds, and while things are lively in the pools during the day, nighttime is quiet and peaceful. The condo was nicely decorated, and the host included lots of info on things to do around town during our stay. We didn’t use the provided tubes this trip, but did walk down to the river and it is very nice and calm in this section. We talked about going back this summer to enjoy the river. The host was great about reaching out with check in info prior to our stay and we had no issues. Definitely recommend!

The pools, and private river access are the main reasons I booked but everything about this stay was fabulous. The Texas themed condo we rented was perfect for a 34th birthday bash haha.

Schlitterbobs Hideaway has become more than just a place to stay; it’s a part of our family’s story.We are incredibly grateful for the consistency and quality of this wonderful property. It has provided us with a backdrop for countless happy moments and continues to be a highlight of our summer.

We can't recommend it highly enough!Thank you for another fantastic stay, and we look forward to many more summers at this wonderful condo.

The condo was fantastic. The view and balcony were fantastic. Short walk to either pool and also right down into the river! Awesome!! A couple of suggestions, the 2nd bdrm could be laid out differently. Double and twin bed was great but we had 3 physically grown teens. Replacing the twin bed with a set of twin bunks would have been much nicer for the girls to not have to double up in just a double bed. They wanted to be in the room together. There is a pull out sofa but that wasn’t an option for them.😉 Also, both bathrooms had mold in the showers. I do realize that is a hard battle to fight but after recalking, leaving the shower door open to dry out will help a lot. We took our dog, this unit allows dogs 🙏 wonderful perk and not outrageous fees. I highly recommend this VRBO!! The mgmt company was wonderful to work with!

The condo was exactly as pictured and described. The management company was very responsive after hours. Cleanliness was outstanding. The furnishings, kitchen ware, linens, etc were nice and there was a satisfactory quantity of each. Proximity to the pools and river are excellent. This is a really nice property for a small group.

Amazing! It was very clean and exactly as advertised. In addition there were. It a lot of “chores” to do when checking out. Good communication when I locked myself out after hours.

Good for a winter stay. Nice apartment. Huge master bedroom. Smaller second bedroom. Tiny bathrooms. Lots of cooking items in the kitchen, but they all needed to be rewashed. River good for wading at the location.

The condo was exactly what we hoped for. Everything was clean and ready for us to enjoy. The bed was so comfortable it was like sleeping on a cloud. We look forward to staying here again.

I just wish it was closer to the river so you can see and hear it from the covered patio.

Seriously close to EVERYTHING. You can float 2 plus hrs with a 10 minute walk from the condo. Very clean and well run property. Only negative thing I can say is the walls are a bit thin. So be mentally prepared for early morning noise. You could also hear the toilets flush from upstairs... kinda loud. All in all it was fun and $ was not over costly.

The condo itself was okay. The bedroom with trundle beds was awful hair, straws, hair ties, and dirty sheets on the trundle beds, plastic on the mattress so when you moved it made a crinkle noise, not to mention furniture would need to be moved to pull out both beds.

Location is great!There was a strong ethnic food smell during our stay. Well worn sofa. Minimal dishes. Otherwise the beds were comfy.

This was a perfect place to spend a few nights in New Braunfels. Everything as expected, with simple check-in/check-out processes.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The door code provided did not work upon arrival. I called the number for property management and was told the maintenance guy would be there in 10-15 minutes. We had already unloaded our car and carried our luggage up to the third floor, so my husband stayed with our stuff while my daughter and I waited in the car. Upon arrival, the maintenance guy was able to access the property, but only by pushing down on the door handle with his entire body weight while simultaneously ramming the door with his shoulder. I tried to call management back and explain that I am a 5’ woman and cannot use my body as a battering ram all weekend to get in and out of the condo. My kids couldn’t work the door at all. I called 3 times and kept getting hung up on. It was almost 7 PM by this time and I had to find somewhere for my family to stay. I booked a hotel room and we left, and I requested a refund due to the property being inaccessible. The property manager initially declined to refund the rental fee and said they could have put us in a different unit in the same complex. I had no way of knowing that because nobody would answer the phone. I had to dispute the charge with AmEx to get the credit issued.

The location can't be beat for the price, and the grounds are beautiful, with private Guadalupe River access. The management company left a bit to be desired. We had to call to request linens for the sofa bed. They were delivered an hour later, which was reasonable, but after the housekeeper left we discovered that we only had two sets of towels for four people/three nights. Rather than call back, we just made it work. On our second night, the fire alarms in the building went off at 4:30 am. Since the only number we had was the Vacasa "24/7 service" number, we called them along with the fire department. Unfortunately, Vacasa never called back to check on us. Given the quality of the property and the length of our stay, that was disappointing. I suspect the property owners would not be pleased to hear that their management company just ignored that situation. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

This house is managed by Vacasa. I had a family emergency come up and I didn’t think I would be able to make the trip. VRBO let me request a schedule change and said I would hear something within 48 hours. Well after 48 hours passed and I did not hear anything. I finally called Vacasa myself. They declined to move or change my dates. I really didn’t want a refund but they would not budge even after telling them my Mom had gone into hospice care. I was just going to lose almost $400. My siblings and my Mom all told me to go ahead and go and to let them handle her care for the weekend. It was much needed and definitely worth the money. The unit was awesome.

Great place to relax. Just my wife and I stayed for a few days. There were plenty of places to eat, shop, grab coffee, etc. Great location. Steps to the pool, and a few more to the river. I should have brought a fishing pole, but I will next time.

The place was very clean and exactly as advertised in the listing. A nice, short walk down to the river. Great amenities, and great communication. Schlitterbahn was right down the road, both, the guadalupe and Comal county rivers were very close by. Within very short driving distance to so many restaurants as well. We will definitely remember this place when we come back!! I think the only complaint we’d have is that other guests in the complex did not abide to the quiet hours rules, but that’s not the fault of the host. We will be back!
