Beautiful home! Everything was just as advertised. Its a lovely spacious home, all appliances/etc worked great, comfy bed, etc. Really liked the location being a little tucked away, but still having very easy and walkable access to most everything in San Marcos. Hope to be back!

Great house and perfect location

Beautiful house very close to the parks along the San Marcos River and the Town Square for shopping, restaurants and bars. Charming deck and covered patio which showcases Cameron's gorgeous plants. We only ended up using the microwave and refrigerator/freezer but the kitchen is fabulous and has all you need to make your own meals. Would highly recommend this house if you're looking to visit San Marcos.

Great experience!

Pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed the outdoor space (packed folding chairs). The home was as advertised and very clean. The neighborhood was relatively quiet and we were able to walk dogs safely. Owner was very accommodating and responded promptly to any questions that we had before and during our stay. We would definitely stay again!
