My team and I stayed for a couple of days and the home was perfect. Not only was it in great condition but very very comfortable (especially since we had a demanding work days and early mornings). The beds were very comfortable and I couldn't stop talking about how great the towels, pillows, and beds felt. I would definitely stay here again in the future and appreciate the care they put into their home.

Beautiful Home, Would Recommend

The home was beautiful, just as pictured and described! The house had a basket of snacks on the table and stocked with games for kids, which my boys loved. It was very thoughtful making it feel like home away from home for them. We were very satisfied with everything, and communication with the host was excellent! Would highly recommend this property!!

As Good As It Gets!

One of the many hats that I wear is in Interior Design. I don't hand out compliments there unless they are incredible well deserved. The Owners of this property have checked every box and have hit the marks above and beyond reasonable expectations. Home design, decor, location...if you can book this home then you cannot go wrong!!! If something goes wrong with your vacation it will have nothing to do with the Vacation Home that you booked; that's my assessment!

Excellent experience! Super clean, comfortable, amazing view!

Family of five, we were looking for a place in San Marcos for a few days. When we walked in the door we tried to book it for much longer. Unfortunately it was already booked. I would expect this place to booked solid because it is a great value. The hosts are extremely professional and timely with their communications. The view out back added a great element and the decor was excellent. I would book it again in a heartbeat.
