This place was just what we wanted for the weekend. We had a little issue with the thermostat right away but got it resolved pretty quickly - technology? The place was clean, comfortable, and located just where we wanted to be. And, thanks for having a comfortable, firm mattress. That rocked!

Magnífica estancia. James siempre fue amable y atento a cualquier solicitud. Estuvimos por trabajo hospedados casi 2 meses en su departamento y nos sentimos como en casa. Gracias por todo!!!

The apartment was exactly as it was described on the website. It was homey and a nice place to come back to after a long day. The apartment was nicely stocked…the only thing we wished they had was ice trays in the freezer so we could have ice in our drinks. James’ recommendations were perfect and spot on. At two points in the week we had questions and James was immediately available and answered the questions. He was incredibly gracious.

PERCECTION!!! There is no other word to describe James' place. James is an amazing host, always providing helpful information and taking care of every detail. The apartment is spacious and super comfortable, with plenty of amenities, and close by to everything there is to do in New Braunfels. My kids loved the easy access to the river and we made some carne asada in the grill by the pool. We were there just for a couple of nights but the apartment complex on it own is a perfect place to stay a few days since it has everything every member of the family can enjoy. It's a short drive to Schlitterbahn and to downtown where James can recommend plenty of places to eat and grab a drink, plus fun activities for the family to enjoy. Definitely will go back for more than two nights in the Summer. Thank you James!!!

Very peaceful. We had everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Everything was very clean. Convenient location. You have access to walk out the back to the River. Make sure you immediately put the car tags in your cars and park in the designated parking spot or on the street if you have more than 2 cars.

You'll have two parking spaces, one dedicated and one in general parking. You can walk to much of downtown New Braunfels, and most sites are within a few minutes drive. Ubers are usually available and reasonably priced, although you may want to check availability around busy times.
