  Great location for our family reunion. Some floated the Comal River, went to Schlitterbahn, Gristmill, and/or sat on the banks on the Guadalupe River. We were able to set up canopies and tables, corn hole set, washer set in the lower section of the units to gather for the big meal and play some games. It was hot so bring your portable fans (Dewalt is what we had) for the tables to keep yourself and loved ones cool.

  Dennis J from Doss, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Overall a 4. Condo, location, and amenities were great. Our particular condo (J202) had a few problems, but more nuisance than anything that hampered our enjoyment. Master bath had very slow draining sink, and guest bath towel rack wasn't attached to wall. Only real dissappointmnt was that we stayed from Friday until Tuesday, and after the weekend, all trash cans and ash cans at BBQ grills (nice touch) very all stuffed full, and weren't emptied until our leisurely day at the pool and grilling out on Monday was surrounded by overflowing trash barrels.

  • Manager Responded on 7/20/2021

    We appreciate reviews as they help us to enhance our services to our guests and owners. We do provide guests our office and maintenance phone numbers so that the guests may contact us with any issues that arise during their stay. Maintenance would have come out to have fixed the sink and the towel rack. We will notify the HOA Property Management company and let them know that the trash cans need attention to daily in our high season, especially over the weekend.

  Lawrence R from Cleburne, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great time at this Location. It was very clean and spacious, the location was perfect. It was just a short walk from the river and close to all attractions. The only thing we were not pleased with was the two loud parties going on in the condo next to ours. People screaming, taking their clothes off and acting crazy til 3 in the morning and the grounds keeper never told them to tone it down when she clearly seen what they were doing. But other than that it was great.

  • Manager Responded on 8/12/2019

    We wished that you would have called our after hours on-call staff phone number. We may not manage either one of the units next to you, but we could have made a few phone calls, first one to WaterWheel Security and the second to NBPD for back up. There is a noise ordinance here in New Braunfels that could have been enforced. Glad to hear that everything else was great!

  Nicholas K from Flint, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Stayed two nights while floating the Guadeloupe with family. The front of the property and surrounding areas look dim, but this unit is fantastic! Don’t let your first glimpse of the property fool you. Room was nice and clean, and the view from the patio is just fantastic! Every evening, multiple deer would come right up to the building to eat. Beds were comfortable, and everything in the kitchen worked just fine. The Guadalupe River runs just behind the property, so you can literally walk to it and get in! The pool is also in great shape and also has two hot tubs. We enjoyed our stay, and will not look anywhere else when coming back to this area. Rented through River City Resorts and had no complaints. Their staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a perfect stay for our river trip!

  Lesa B from Lufkin, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  The grounds and condo were great. Location was perfect . Pool and river front were spectacular . We came in from a day at Schlitterbahn on Saturday and tried to sit outside in the balcony and eat supper and some of the neighbors thought we wanted to listen to their music ????so loud and obnoxious . Should be a restriction on the noise. Didn’t bother to call anyone to get it stopped . Just disrespectful

  • Manager Responded on 6/28/2018

    We wish that all guests would be respectful of others. Security was onsite and could have asked them to turn down the music. Glad to hear though that the rest you found spectacular!

  Vicky V from BEAUMONT, TX recommends this vacation rental

  It was clean. Hot upon arrival though.
  Would be really nice for a sidewalk or paved path to the river and not grass.
  Bedroom w queen bed could use more sturdy support
  Coffee pot needed to be cleaned - the bath tub in the master room
  is very slippery and caved inward, it was very akward to shower in
  Lots of people brought their dog wish i would've brought mine
  On saturday night, about 8:30 ish there were too many party crowds, they were drinking spilling beer in the pool and cussing around my 12 yr old so we went back inside..
  i am type of person to look past that and avoid that situation but i would stay again
  Its close to schlitterbahn. Like literally 2min
  Its close to HEB.. about 9min drive
  Kitchen had plenty of cookware etc... there was no detergent for my stay
  

  • Manager Responded on 8/28/2017

    Thank you for your review! We are happy that you found your condo clean and in a convenient location. We would like to apologize for the rudeness of some of the guests and wish that we could guarantee that all guests would mind their manners and abide by the HOA rules. River City Resorts has a no pets policy unless we have owners who very specifically wish to allow pets. Many owner do not want pets due to allergies of guests and to possible damages caused by pets in unfamiliar locations. We declare on our arrival information email, what items will be provided (laundry detergent is not provided) and suggested items to bring for the comfort of a guests stay. We hope to see you back soon!

  Shawn M from Corpus Christi, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Over all the condo was comfortable. It was stocked well with all amenities. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean, the beds were clean and very comfortable (best bed in a condo ever!). Unfortunately on first walk-in the walls, doors and light switches, the rug in living-room were all very dirty and worn. There were dirty hand prints and drywall damage on nearly every wall. The parking was also VERY congested at night. There is only one marked parking spot and the second is wherever you can find one. We had to park our second car in the street one night. It is a good setup (2/2 w balcony, nice "backyard" and pool w hot tub) and location (on Guadalupe and very near Schlitterbahn close to downtown). I think for $391/night (fees included) these few things should be addressed. I give it 3.5 stars overall because the bed was comfortable, it was "clean" and a good location, but the owner needs to give it some TLC and the management needs to address parking issues. I would probably rent it again but with lower expectations.

  • Manager Responded on 7/19/2017

    Thank you for choosing River City Resorts ! We will certainly address the wear and tear in the unit so that we can continue to offer the best possible experience.

  a guest from Abilene, TX recommends this vacation rental

  So overall a good experience. We loved the modern feel of the unit, the view out the living area towards the large open lawn & pool (saw multiple deer throughout our stay), and it's location relative to Schlitterbahn (5 blocks away). With that said, we ran into an issue with the wifi not working properly, which River City Resorts promptly fixed...sent a repairman to assess the situation and got us up & running that day (outdated router). The main issue/problem we encountered was the quality of bed in the second, smaller bedroom. If you breathed wrong, the bed creaked...loudly. And we discovered the neighbors above us would leave a dog during the day in their unit that would yelp frequently. Also, I had a personal beef with being required to wear a wristband that was handwritten on by the River City Resort staff...felt like I was at a camp for 11 year olds wearing it all week. There has to be a better system.

  • Manager Responded on 7/20/2016

    We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Waterwheel! We will pass on the information to the owner in regards to the guest bed. Due to the wonderful grounds of Waterwheel, the HOA has experienced many people trespassing on the grounds and taking advantage of the open lawn and pool. The HOA has all property managements issue wristbands to all guests for security purposes and to verify that all the guests (and owners who have yellow removable bands) are permitted onsite. We apologize for the inconvenience, but are working under the rules of the HOA.

  Where do I begin? This condo was very nice from the beginning. Had an issue with the sofa bed, like sleeping in a hole, but the overall stay was great. All the amenities of home & then some. Beautiful property, pool & hot tub. The location was perfect, for multiple activities. We enjoyed Wonder World, Schlitterbaun & was close enough to San Antonio to spend a day at Six Flag Fiesta Texas. Again I say, AWESOME! Fun for the whole family. We will return.

  We really enjoyed this Condo it was very nice. The company that rented the place where very helpful and nice. They gave us inter tubes to use for free for the week. The pool and hot tubs where really nice. We really enjoyed being able to float down the river in back of the condo, we just had to walk a few blocks up to a park and get in to the river and float down to the condo. Also we liked how close it was to schlitterbahn water park, we just walked to the water park. If we ever come back I would defiantly stay here again. It was a really nice place to stay.
