Nice and relaxing
We had a great time at this property. John was easy to work with and also let us check in early and depart late which made departing relaxing. The condo is exactly as in pictures.

Awesome Stay!
Highly recommend this place! It was perfect for my family and I to spend some time relaxing. The host was very accessible and friendly, and made our vacation much more enjoyable. The pool was never over populated, perfect distance from our condo. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

Fun Vacation
First off John was the Best . He replied quickly to any of my messages and cause of that everything ran smoothly. Thank you John . About the Condo we liked it all . It had what we needed for our stay. We loved that they had all the bed sheets pillows and bathroom towels that we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you need for cooking and baking . The air conditioning was nice and cold after a long hot day in the pool or river . The POOL was so nice for all of us . Didn’t want to leave it . Over all I give it a 5 star review! We are planning on going back this year . Happy I found this place 😀Thank you again John !

Upstairs
Next time I would definitely make sure I was in one upstairs! Neighbors were very inconsiderate on how loud they were,other than that stay was amazing… pool was best part. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go on River ,it was to shallow. But our stay was GREAT

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. I wish you would have said something about the loud neighbors, we could have asked someone to go talk to them.

Little slice of paradise
This property was amazing and perfect for hosting a 13 years old birthday. The condo was very clean and accommodating. The property is beautiful with plenty of room to run around or swim in the awesome pool. The covered cabana type area was a great asset for guest attending the party. Outside restrooms were great for guests and swimmers. Everything was neat and clean. The trash was constantly being check by workers. Playground was fun as was the volleyball courts. The communication was great and easy check in check out process. The only little negative was cameras on the back porch. Felt a little intrusive while sitting out there enjoying the view and talk privately. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Thank you for the nice review, Kanda. We're glad you had a good time and that your little guy had a good birthday. As far as the outside cameras, our listing does disclose that we have them. We don’t have any cameras inside the condo. We actually disable a lot of the camera functionality when the condo is occupied, so that it doesn't drain the batteries. We don't monitor it or watch any of the video unless something is reported that may benefit from it. The cameras are mostly for our peace of mind when the condo is not occupied. That's when we enable the notifications to let us know if the cameras go off. If you choose to stay at our place again in the future, please remind me and we will turn off the cameras during your stay.

Great Getaway at Garner
Excellent location for families. The playground was a hit with the littles and the pool was a hit with tweens and teens. Convenient location to the state park and everything else. Blazing night time skies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Clean, Great and Quaint Condo
This a great condo that is very close to the Frio. Very clean, comfortable beds and a great location. We stayed during off season and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. You gotta try the food trucks across the street…great coffee and breakfast! Will definitely stay here again…appreciate the exceptional communication from the owner.

Relaxing Getaway
The condo was clean, comfy and had everything we needed. Check-in and check out were super easy and John answered any question I had in a super timely manner. The property had great amenities. Don't miss out on the hiking trail right behind the condo for some beautiful views especially at sunrise.

We really enjoyed this property. Clean condo, and the pool was great! I loved the fact that there is a small playground for kids, and my 3 year old really enjoyed it. Would for sure stay again!

Not close to the RIVER!!
When I first saw the listing description it stated that it was a five minute walk to the river, when we go there it was at least a 10 minute drive and nowhere within walking distance. The stove did not work it was old. The pools slide was broken the entire week of stay. The couches were nasty with a horrible odor. The kitchen was FULL of ants all over the counters and restrooms. The codes for the front door were never working so I’d be standing trying to open the door for more than five minutes each time. The worst part was the AWFUL beds, they are the most uncomfortable cheapest beds EVER… you go on a family trip to relax and my family and I woke up daily with out neck and backs hurting.

Jackie, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay at our condo. I’m going to address each of your complaints below: DISTANCE FROM RIVER - Our listing has never stated that it was a 5 minute walk from the river. What it has always stated is that it’s about one mile away from the river. I’ve walked it myself in about 18 minutes many times. There are other crossings that are a little bit further out. On April 29, you asked me on VRBO what the distance was to the river, and I replied that the nearest river crossing (Neals Crossing) was about 1 mile away and that it would be a 15-20 minute walk. STOVE - You called me about the stove on Monday evening, after 9 PM, and I got on the phone with a maintenance tech to come out there the following morning. I even came up with a contingency plan, in case it was something major and emailed you about it early Tuesday morning. You replied back saying that the stove WAS working, that the electrical plug wasn’t in all the way, and that pushing it in had fixed the issue. So, I cancelled the maintenance tech. We have had no complaints about the stove at all. POOL SLIDE - I checked with the HOA about the pool slide, and they are currently working with a contractor to get it repaired. That’s something completely out of our control. COUCH - We’ve had no complaints about the couch at all. We spend quite a bit of time up in Concan, as well, and we’ve never noticed any smell. I will have our cleaning crew check on it. We did just get a brand new futon a couple of months ago. ANTS - We have never seen ants in the condo. We have a pest control service that comes out every month, exactly because we don’t want to have problems with bugs in the house. While we’re talking about ants, I will tell you that our cleaning crew told us that when they walked into the condo after you checked out, there was trash and food all over the floor. That could certainly attract ants. Most of our guests take the trash out, which is listed on the Check Out Procedures, and leave the condo in decent shape. We’ve never had any complaints about ants or any other bugs. FRONT DOOR CODES - We’ve never had problems with the door codes. I see on the activity log that an invalid code was entered a few times throughout your stay, and then the correct code was entered, and the door unlocked. I also gave you the code to the lockbox, so that you could get the actual key and didn’t have to deal with the keypad codes. MATTRESSES – We haven’t had any complaints about the mattresses. We go up quite a bit ourselves and sleep on those mattresses too. Which also reminds me that you emailed us on VRBO and asked us to EXTEND your stay the day before you checked out. We weren’t able to extend it, but if you were having such a bad experience, why would you want to stay longer? We responded to all your emails promptly and always answered the phone when you called, so we're a bit disappointed by your rating of our condo.
