Our house was very clean and maintained. The location was very desirable. The city was doing a construction job on Coll St. which made parking and going to and from the property difficult. However, we realize that the road condition was beyond your property’s control!I would recommend this property to family and friends!

Can't beat the location. Property is well kept and worked well for us. There are quite a few stairs to navigate, so if you have mobility issues I would caution you from renting. We had an issue with the dryer, but maintenance came right away and corrected it. Check in instructions were clear and host is very responsive. Would definitely stay there again (the ultimate test of any rental).

Great house and location!

This was a great property in a great location! Access to the river and walkable to downtown. The house was very nice and we used the pool everyday. Only issue was we messaged the host about the downstairs fan outside not working and received no response during our stay.

Great place and location

The check-in was perfect/no hassle. The house was clean, roomy, very nice accommodations. The location granted easy access for our grown kids and grandkids to do whatever they wanted… the bonus was the nice pool in the back with an excellent view and access to the Comal River. We will go again… highly recommended.

Such a fun house to stay in. We spent lots of time on the balcony that overlooks the river. All of the rooms were clean, decorated amazing, and adequate. The pool was nice to hang out in each day.

best on Comal

The PH was top-notch. I am not a crowd person so I do not recommend the Comal on a holiday weekend. However, we left on a Tuesday when the river was quieter and it was an absolute dream. The house was perfect for our group of eight didn't want to leave. We will be back!

Disliked: Communication
The home and location are very nice. Unfortunately the pool was very murky and not clear upon our arrival. The neighbors on either side’s pool were clear and beautiful. When I contacted the host I was discounted and told it was clean. However when I sent photos she did send the pool cleaners the next day. I was told by them that there was barely any chlorine in the pool and the filter was clogged. Also, that this pool doesn’t get as clear due to the tree. The host never acknowledged there was a problem. She refused to speak with me and I spent a great deal of time trying to correct an issue that should have been taken care of prior to our arrival. Also, the door handle of the master bedroom falls off regularly. The large shade in the master is broken so you can’t raise the shade. Lastly, the ladder going to the loft is extremely tall and straight. We were afraid for our 8 year old granddaughter to climb it alone. Especially if she was coming down at night to use the restroom. She slept on the couch.

Gorgeous getaway in New Braunfels, TX - Convenient to San Antonio

This gorgeous property has all the most modern amenities and our family had a lovely stay for Thanksgiving. Really enjoyed renting the golf cart to get around town. The Mets were very comfortable, and the balcony was extremely beautiful, beautiful overlooking the river. The only thing I would say is, we did not know how many steps they were going to be getting into the main level which was challenging for my elderly mother-in-law who walked up both flights very slowly. If only you could install an elevator :). Wish the weather was warmer so that we could've used the pool, but we enjoyed the big family room area, and cooking Thanksgiving dinner.

Beautiful Porterhaus

The Porterhaus was beautiful and the location was great. We only had a couple issues but I think it's because it's a new house and just recently put on Vrbo. The first was I had to call to get check-in instructions, we were told at booking check-in was at 4, that is what we planned for, at 130 pm, we still did not have check-in information, I emailed through Vrbo, and got nothing in return. At 3pm, I finally called the property manager to get the instructions. As for the actual house, the sliding glass door in the living room isn't sealed on the sides, so it it open to the outside air, allowing the heat and bugs in. The refrigerator does not cool very well, but the freezer works fantastic. The loft area is pretty warm and probably need a gate or something up there to prevent a child from sleep walking and falling over the edge. I don't want to sound like the place isn't great, just those few things, the beds were comfortable, the pool was amazing, the grill worked fantastic. We loved the big kitchen and the location. We would probably book again in the future.

This house is in a fantastic location. The house is laid out well, with plenty of space and everything we needed. However, we had major issues that would cause us to never stay here again. The primary reason we booked here was for the pool that overlooked the river. Due to extreme algae in the pool we could not use it during our 3 night stay. I informed the mgmt company upon arriving of the pool condition which I was told they would look into it and that their pool was only serviced on Thursdays. I even provided pictures. Our stay was Sun-Wed. They never got back to me, so 2 days later, I asked for a response. I was told that the pool was safe to use and they would not be servicing it until Thursday (after our check out). I found this to be extremely unprofessional. The mgmt company was about 5 min. from the house, and at any time they could have sent someone out to clean the pool. I have 3 young kids. I do not know many moms that would want their kids swimming around in all the algae. Another issue we had was bugs. I did not inform them of the bugs b/c there was no point after they wouldn't service the pool for us. I have attached pictures of the bugs found on the loft room bed as well as pics of the pool. Do not book this house if you are booking for the pool. Also, being by the river I know there are bugs, but they need to be more on top of their pest service as we were killing bugs on the bed and the floor quite a bit.
