Great family weekend

Cabins were clean and comfortably rustic. The amazing well-kept grounds provided decks for early morning coffee, nice areas for grilling, and easy access to the river. Nathan went above and beyond to take care of us. We will be back.

Best stay for families.

Great river spot. We loved it! Only thing is neighbors are super close. We did not had any issues but if you are going make late night loud parties, it may cause issues. Overall great experience. Nathan was very helpful.

Great stay!

The house was clean and the property was great! The river access was amazing and perfectly semi-private. Made friends with the neighbors! The property manager was very nice and stopped by a few times to check to see if we needed anything and to take out trash. Will definitely recommend to friends and will satay in the future!

Hidden Gem

The house was clean the AC worked, Nathan was super helpful. It was nice to have a watering hole in the backyard. Little necessities that we forgot to buy before coming, we were able to buy them at the Family Dollar right at the road, we will definitely book again

Birthday getaway

This was our 2nd time staying at one of the Rio Escondido houses and once again, we had a wonderful time! Absolutely loved the house and private entry into the Nueces River. Special thanks to Nathan for promptly fixing the WiFi connection and making sure we were ok when we briefly lost power from a storm. THANKS Nathan and Rio Escondido!

Awesome stay

We really enjoyed the stay. The place was very well maintained and had no issues. It was nice being so close to the river and having easy access to it. Plenty of shade from all the trees as well. We loved it and are definitely coming back! Owner communicated with us to ensure we had what we needed to check-in. Nathan was great as well.

Family Vacation

This property was great for all ages. Easy access to the river but there is a few stairs. There is a lot of trees for shade and a large area for outside games and kids to play. We enjoyed the fire pit and the property owners left us everything to make smores. We would definitely stay here again!

The best of Texas

We booked the Dragonfly for our family trip. It was our first time on the Nueces, though we are native Texans, and fell in love with the views and crystal clear waters. The pictures don’t do this place justice. Nathan was very kind and hospitable.

Awesome place to stay!

Very cool place to stay! River is only a few steps away, with easy access. House has everything you need inside with what i though were comfortable mattresses and for it being 100 plus degrees outside the window units did a good job at keeping it cool inside when it was time for a break from the heat and river. Outside it had plenty of room for kids to play and run around, firepit and BBQ pit are in good shape, house also has plenty of lighting outside if needed. Already planning our next trip here.
