  Wendy J from New london, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We were there for the comal and Guad. rivers. We didn’t expect river access so being across the street was not a deal breaker for us. If you have jet skis or a small boat, the dock access that comes with the house will suffice. It’s a nice quiet neighborhood. The home was very clean and well organized. I’ve stayed in rentals not near this prepared for guests and not near as clean. The owners were easily accessible by email and responded within minutes. I didn’t really need anything but had a question about trash pickup.
  Overall, nice home for our needs.

  This was a wonderful place to stay with plenty of space for a family of 7 to have a Thanksgiving feast! It had 2 wonderful living areas and a spacious kitchen. This was close to the outlet shops, San Antonio and Austin. It was a quite and peaceful neighborhood and close to the water.

  We had a great stay at Zipp Away. Note that the property is not on the waterfront and you have to cross the street (this was not clear to us from the description). All amenities were there. There was a Keurig machine although when I asked they told me just a drip machine. The waterfront and back yard are really great. Firepit was a great success. Yard is spacious. Recommend!

  Our family truly enjoyed our time at Zipp Away LD this past weekend. At first we were taken back by the location of the house and not being right on the water. The pictures were a little miss leading but after reading the house description again we quickly saw it stated across the street. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to make it an enjoyable weekend. We did however bring a few air mattresses due to the lack beds for 2 families. Overall it was a great trip and would definitely rent the house again.

  • Manager Responded on 6/23/2020

    Thank you for the great feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at this wonderful home. I apologize that the pictures were misleading, we did try to make it abundantly clear that the river access is across the street. We hope to see you again on your next vacation! Thanks, NBE

  Carissa B from TOMBALL, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Quaint little neighborhood in New Braunfels. The home is located across the street from the Comal River, however, after seeing signs DANGER ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK and a speed boat going by at accelerated speeds we decided that the river running behind the houses across the street was more of a docking area for boats rather than tubing recreation. We had a blast going to the Comal river, Shopping at the Gruene, swimming at Landa Park and on the way out we went to the Natural bridge caverns where they so generously kept our dogs in my kennels in a shaded area in the back. I might suggest a sign and roll of bags in the back yard to clean up after your pets because there was pet excrement left behind by the previous renters. I always carry pet pick up bags on my leashes so I didn't need any bags. The only other suggestion I may have is it might be nice to have a dishwasher installed soon to sanitize dishes properly.

  • Manager Responded on 6/22/2020

    We are so glad you had such a great time experiencing all that New Braunfels has to offer! We appreciate the feedback with the trash bags for pets and the dishwasher. We hope to see you again on your next vacation in New Braunfels! Thanks! NBE

  It was the perfect weekend. We had a great time. The house was the perfect set up for hosting 9 people. We never felt crowded. The backyard was amazing! It had a nice covered deck with a grill and lots of open yard space for games. The house is a easy walk to the river. We drove up stream and floated to the house.

    Thank you!! I'm so glad y'all enjoyed your Memorial Day Weekend and the close river access! We look forward to seeing you again! Thanks, NBE
