About this property

Cool Waterfront*COMAL*POOL*HTUB - WALK TO DWNTN - TUBES INCL

The COOL COMAL COTTAGE is a beautiful third floor condo with a stunning view of beautiful New Braunfels. The Comal River is known as “the shortest river in Texas”. This two mile river is crystal clear and a constant 68 degrees year round.
I PROVIDE TUBES - THEY ARE STOCKED FOR YOU IN THE BALCONY CLOSET!
We understand that things are a little more difficult during these times than normal so we have instituted:
- A flexible cancellation policy
- Coupons and discounts for future bookings
- Reduced minimum stay requirements
- Reduced daily rates
- Increased discounts for longer stays
- Employing stringent cleaning procedures
- Self check-in tools for no contact check in / out
- Quality work areas and internet for “workcations”
The COTTAGE has an ideal location on the river. It is close to the springs and allows for one of the longest floats on the Comal River. The river area next to the condo also offers the best areas for swimming and splashing in the clean refreshing waters. At the entry you will be greeted by natural wood floors that extend from the door all the way across the condo through the living area and to the balcony on the other side. The beautiful warm tones of the condo stand in contrast to the cool colors that come from the refreshing waters of the COMAL river, the calming blues of the sky and the lively greens of the spring budding leaves.
The bedrooms are simple but elegant and each room is equipped with a television with over 100 cable channels. We also have wonderfully large flat screen with lots of DirectTV channels. 1= King, 2= Queen + Trundle (2 twins), LR= Sleeper sofa.
The bathrooms will make you feel right at home with their comfortable cottage style.
The kitchen will invite the entire family to gather around with its tasteful simplicity and COOL COTTAGE style. The kitchen is open to the living area which is furnished with a nice sleeper sofa, a comfy arm chair and a big screen TV.
Oh and did we mention the view from the balcony? What a perfect transition it provides from the beauty inside to the beauty outside. Take time to “set a spell” and enjoy the comfortable chairs and beautiful mosaic table.
Inside, this attractively decorated two-bedroom two-bath condominium comfortably sleeps six adults. You can squeeze 8 in if some are children. Master bedroom (queen-size).Day bed in master (twin size), Guest bedroom (King-size). Sleeper couch (full-size). Our condo complex has recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation of the exterior.
All the outside walkways and balconies are brand new and waiting for you to enjoy them. We certainly hope that you will choose our COOL COTTAGE in paradise when you plan your vacation to New Braunfels. We have done what we can to make it a wonderful experience for you.
The condo can accommodate a maximum of 8 guests, but realize with 8 people in the unit, it will feel crowded. You can only park 2 cars inside the gates. Any additional cars can be parked outside the complex. I will provide recommendations in your welcome email. Access to the entire condo plus the common grounds which offer the pool, hot tub, picnic area, grills and river access. I am happy to help. Just call or text.
The location is fantastic. Our condos are the closest to downtown (5 blocks) and to the Wurstfest Grounds (6 blocks) The rules of the complex are pretty strict, quiet hours are observed at night. The unit sleeps a max of 8 and only two parking passes are allowed.
Safety: Property has 1 camera: 1 ring doorbell located to the right of the door pointed at the front walkway. This camera will be recording during your stay..
Explanation about the damage deposit: Your reservation may require a damage deposit. If you book via Airbnb, there is no up front deposit, however if there is damage, you will be charged after your stay. If you are booking on VRBO, they will show it as a "Refundable deposit paid at property". That is not accurate. The deposit is simply a credit card hold which is authorized on the day that you arrive and then automatically drops off 7 days after you leave. If you leave with no damage, you will never notice it. If there is damage, I will notify you of what I have found prior to making any type of claim against that hold. I'm sorry that VRBO describes it that way, but I have brought it to their attention, and they say it is the only thing that can be done with their system. I think they are just putting the square peg in the round hole. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Myself, along with my sisters and mom go on a yearly girl's trip and this one was great! Super convenient location to the river and tube rental places. There's lots of delicious restaurants nearby. The condo was nice and cool when we entered, which was a great relief from the heat. It had all we needed. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Best birthday ever!

We brought our granddaughters and parents to celebrate the ten year olds birthday. We had a great time and this was a perfect location for all the fun things we wanted to do. It was clean and a great space to fix meals and swim in the pool when we stayed in. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone wanting to have a great New Braunfels experience.

I stayed here with my dad to float the River for the weekend. Everything was perfect from check in to check out, communication was great during the entire process. The condo itself was clean and perfect for our purposes. Great location! Super quick Uber to downtown or Gruene Hall to hear live music! Definitely plan to stay here again

Formula 1 Weekend Stay

Our company does a company trip every year for the Formula 1 race weekend. We enjoyed our stay at this condo. Condo was very clean and comfortable. What's nice is that it's a 15 minute walk to many spots in New Braunfels to eat and drink. Checking in and out was super easy and the host took the time to send texts to make sure we didn't need anything during our stay. Would definitely book again if it's available next year.

The condo was perfect for what we needed! We only stayed one night to attend a graduation party and to float the Comal the next day before heading home. There was access to the river from the property. Right next door was Texas Tubes. We were able to walk around the corner of the property and enjoy a 2 hour tube ride. Great location!

River Fun!

Great location with quick access to the river, tube rentals and short walk into town. The pool was clean and shaded with trees so it helped keep the water cool at peak times and in the evening. The condo was bigger than expected and had everything we needed for our stay. Owner was very friendly and helpful. He even helped contact neighboring unit to reserve for our large family. His instructions were clear and concise. Only issue we had was dodging wasps and wasp nests on the stairs around the property. Overall we are looking to book again for our next river trip!

Great location!

Our stay was great. The property is on the river and owners provided tubes, so tubing couldn't have been easier. Walking distance to super cute downtown. Antique stores, bakeries, restaurants and shops all within 6-7 blocks. Pool area is convenient and well maintained. The condo itself was really, really clean. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Internet was very good (I was with 3 teenagers, so that was important). Nice TVs in each room. Everything was just as pictured and described. From arrival to departure things couldn't have been easier.

Amazing stay

Cannot say enough good about this property. Once we booked the host reached out and checked to see if we had any questions or if he could help with anything. He answered all questions quickly. The first day of our stay Reed reached out again making sure our checking process was easy. And it was. This property is perfectly located to enjoy a trip down the river. The condo was stocked with just about everything, including tubes and electric air pumps. Very clean and comfortable. The check out process was also super easy. Reed again checked on us and made sure all was great with our stay. We will absolutely be staying again.

Awesome place for amphibious people!

I rented two nights here for my girlfriend's birthday along with her two friends. We had an awesome time staying here! It was an extremely clean and accommodating rental, with tubes and supplies here and there. The bed was actually incredibly comfortable! There was also a well set up Roku TV in the living room, where you could sign into your own streaming accounts if needed. The best part is that you're a two minute walk downstairs to being right at this convenient concrete entry way to the comal river. I 100% would rent again!
