• Roaches

  1/5

  This home has potential if it were properly maintained. The washer is broken, so don’t plan on laundry. There are 2 other washers sitting in the garage too. The kitchen is very ill equipped for cooking. The pier scared me quite a bit, as there are no rails off the sides and the water was almost not there at all underneath. Mostly just rocks, so my kids couldn’t go down there. If they fell it would be a 20+ foot drop (estimate). But the worst part was noticed near the end of our stay. We didn’t stay at the house the majority of our trip or we may have seen this sooner. There are roaches. We very much over payed to stay here and then had to spend time at a laundry mat cleaning all of our clothes before potentially bringing roaches back into our homes. I guess I should have had a clue when we saw that there was a pest control company’s card in the pantry. When I sent the owner pictures of the roaches, I did honestly expect at the least an apology. Instead the only response given was “ok, I’ll call pest control”. I wanted to love the house, but we were sadly very let down. The bunk beds creek very loudly with every move and the pictured “floor chairs” are about half the size of those in the pictures due to deflation. We had to hunt them down to even find them hidden away in a closet. I do feel like we were sold something that was false advertising. I wouldn’t have even paid half of what we paid for what we got, and I would never rent a house with roaches. Not water bugs. Roaches.

  The inside of the home was clean and well kept, that being said the outside is not kept up at all and the enclosed patio was so dirty and not enjoyable. There are cobwebs everywhere and the patio is not usable at all. Please put in your description that the Dam is broken (has been for a while) and because of that there is hardly any water in the river. We were not able to jump in or dock a boat since there is hardly any water. I would not have payed as much as I did if I would have know that you cant swim right in the backyard. Washer was broken so we could not wash any clothes.

• River trip

  5/5

  Our family of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids 12-19yo) stayed for 4 days to relax and enjoy the river. Plenty of room. Water level at the property was really low so didn’t do much at the property, river wise. Owner was very attentive and check in was a breeze. Property was very clean. Nest thermostat was set to 93 when we arrived and took awhile to cool off. Grass needed to be mowed.Screened in porch is nice and we enjoyed watching the river. Unbunked beds are tempurpedic mattresses which was super nice.Kitchen is beautiful but minimally stocked to cook meals in. 2 large pots, medium and small frying pan. One glass casserole dish. Toaster. Keurig. We cooked all our meals and didn’t eat out so slightly challenging but doable. There are only 3 coffee mugs.We floated the Comal river and went to Schlitterbahn, both about 30 minutes away.Check out was simple. Overall comfortable, clean and enjoyable stay. Thanks!

• Terrible place to stay!

  1/5

  We had issues with this rental from the moment we arrived. The keycode did not work so we couldn't access the home. When we called the person in charge of managing this home, she was aware that the keycode was not functioning, so I'm unsure why this information was not given to us prior to arriving. Once we entered the home, we were met with unbearable heat. The AC was set to 90 degrees. We immediately set the AC to a lower temperature but with it being 100+ degrees that day, the AC didn't cool the home to a comfortable temperature until around 3 in the morning. Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep our first night. The following day, we made sure that the temperature was set to a cooler temperature prior to leaving for our adventures. When we arrived back at the rental that afternoon, the AC was yet again set to 90 degrees (come to find out, the owner has control over the temperature remotely). So, another day and night spent at this home with unbearable heat. Our 4 kids had to sleep on the living room floor both nights because there was no fan in the bunkroom and the living room was the only place in the house with a fan for them to sleep. And unfortunately, the AC was not the only problem we had while staying at this property. There were multiple other issues we had with this rental. The yard was in need of mowing and upkeep. The side porch and sunroom were a complete mess. The sunroom was full of dead bugs on the floor and furniture, that I ended up sweeping myself as soon as we arrived. The TV in the bedroom was unusable. It required the homes IP address and password, which we did not have access to. The oven did not work. The display does not function, so you have no idea what the temperature setting is and the bottom oven heating element is out. So we were out of all the groceries that we bought to cook in this home. Many of the pots, pans and baking sheets were unusable and need to be thrown out. River access was listed, however with the river being so low, there is nowhere to access the water without walking to the neighbors property, which was listed as being unusable. Honestly, if the AC wasn't such a big issue, we would have been able to overlook many of these problems. But being so miserable for two straight days, everything added up. We contacted Evolve in hopes of them making this right for our family and they had the audacity to offer us 131 dollars! Save your money and stay elsewhere. This place is not worth the hassle.
