Best VRBO I’ve stayed at!

This house is perfect! It has so much character and the decor is outstanding. Everywhere you turn the owners have thought of everything! Collection of outstanding antiques and art objects! I can now understand why you don’t allow children under 12. House is very well equipped for visitors. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Quiet Vintage Paradise

This property is absolutely beautiful! The backyard area is perfect and overlooks the river: it rained on our trip, but there was still plenty to look at and do. The home is furnished with vintage items and plenty of plants and things to look at. It was fun to go from room to room checking everything out, We sat out back and talked to the geese, watched the birds, and just relaxed. Nearby there was a market day event to walk to. They have plenty of things to cook with and all sorts of spices, etc. We truly enjoyed every minute of our getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Sheehan

Pat and Susan grew up in the military, sharing many of the same experiences. After raising their two sons in San Antonio, they moved to their beach house in Port Aransas. They now reside between San Antonio, Port Aransas and Blanco, Texas taking frequent trips to Dallas to see their grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

As a realtor, Susan sold the property to the prior owner fifteen years ago. She never lost her infatuation with the uniqueness and tranquility offered by the River View Guest House. When it was time to pass ownership, Susan and Pat were eager to become the next stewards.

What makes this property unique

The first glimpse of the quaint rock house with the large arches on the front porch, the River View Guest House grabs your curiosity and begs you to step inside. A porch swing and rockers create the stage for the relaxing experience ahead. Walking through the home you see the gorgeous river and the many opportunities ahead to fish, hike, paddle board or lie in a hammock and dream. Beautifully decorated through out, there are several living areas for guests to spread out or congregate as the mood inspires. A large island kitchen or the charcoal grill by the outdoor covered palapa offer great spaces for preparing meals swapping stories. Abundant shade in the day and fireflies at night create a dream like experience that you will make you say, "let's come back."
