Leaky trup

Had a great time, house was comfortable. Loved the fact that access to the river was limited by natural barriers up and down river. Limited our ability to kayak very far, but also limited others using the river where we were.

We really enjoyed Aqua Bonita. The house was plenty big, the pool and outside area are STUNNING and access to the river is just a couple minutes away. We will be back for sure😎

Frio Float Fest 2024!

We love staying in homes like these that feel like home. This is definitely where you want to have your family reunion so the kids can stay in the bunkhouse, and there is so much to do! The hosts are very responsive at what I thought would be unreasonable hours. We will definitely be back next year for Frio Float Fest 2025!

Family Vacation

Our family (parents, siblings & grandkids) of 18 recently stayed at the Swimming Hole and we loved our time there. You could not beat the view from the back porch with all the rocking chairs, the easy river access, the water levels behind the house and all the lovely shade! We stayed outside 90% of the time and the home had everything we needed. The 11 grandkids loved the bunkhouse and all getting to sleep together each night. We brought a video baby monitor from home and could easily communicate and keep an eye on them when needed.

Worked for us

The house is your typical river or lake house. It works really well for a large group of people. The house could use some updates, and better lighting. But all in all it works. There are plenty of beds, and lots of space for people to do all different kinds of activities. The second fridge on the porch really helped with storing food and drinks for so many people. I loved the lights down by the river.

Eclipse trip

This was a good location for our family trip. There is easy access to the Frio with lovely Cypress trees shading the river. There is a hammock and a fire pit down by the river entrance. In the backyard there is bbq, cement cornhole set up, horseshoes, a tire swing, and areas for volleyball and tether ball. Most of the rooms are however are dark (which can be a good thing). A fan is helpful as well. Key pick up & drop off is ~25 minutes away in Concan. We did not have cell service, but the wifi was strong and were able to communicate via that method. TV cable was not set up, so if you plan on watching something, bring a firestick. It’s not a fancy place, but overall it fit our needs for the weekend and worked out perfectly. The access to the Frio is solid.

Great location, house needs work.

The location is fantastic and the house has potential, but it is not well maintained. Positives: Location Outside fridge Porch and rockers were great Plenty of outside chairs Living room couch and chairs are nice The yard down to the river was great The lights on the river are a nice touch Needs work: It was cleaned well, but there was a hole in the floor walking into the guest room that cut a foot - the kitchen ice maker doesn't work - the kitchen trash can was so broken it was almost unusable, really needs a new one -lots of pots but not fully stocked kitchen.. definitely doesn't have enough silverware, but we brought paper and plastic. needs a baking sheet, a cake pan and hot pads. We purchased some and left them for next family. -nasty stains that smelled like puke on the guest bedroom carpets -the sheets were not the correct sizes we had twin sheets on full size beds. -pillows are terrible, bring your own. -the bunkhouse is not a separate building and it shares a wall with the guest rooms, so do not plan on sleeping if you have teenagers that want to play pool and stay up late -no hooks or towel bars in master bedroom or bathroom at all.

Swimming Hole

We had lots of mice droppings. There were notes with fines in the house. This hose slept 20 and only had five forks. The air s could not be turned below 74 because the unit would freeze and I would have to pay the technician 200 to come out. The river was nice but in three days we never saw a sole.

Perfect location

This property has river access and had water when parts of the river didn’t for floating. Very nice to be able to walk out and go get cooled off in the river. Beautiful scenery! House works perfect if you have quite a few teens with you. They had their own area in the bunk house with plenty of beds and space. Would stay again.

Perfect Blended Family Week

This house was perfect for us to being all of our grown kids and our grands to spend the week together. We had all ages entertained and engaged and not stuck in their phones. A couple of ceiling fans on the back deck as well as in the bunkhouse and bedrooms would not go amiss. We had to go and buy some box fans to really get the air moving in the bunkhouse. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Riverfront

The house could use some updating, but it was clean and comfortable and met our needs. The river area is spectacular! They have a large private riverfront area, and we enjoyed swimming, paddle boating, and fishing. There are beautiful lights there at night by the water, and we made ample use of the fire pit down there for nightly s’mores. There’s a volleyball net, horse shoes, a rope swing, and a bean bag tossing game. But we were all too enchanted with the river to do those activities. I’ve already reserved the place for several days next summer!

Our stay was great. The house worked for our group and was clean. The oven did have something spilled in the bottom that smoked when used, but it was really not a big deal. Informed them at check out, so I'm sure they will clean it up. The place could use a few fixes, but we loved it regardless. The water was low, but the area in front of our place was perfect. We had plenty water to play in. Check In/Out was a breeze.

Needs Updated Photos!

We loved this place and we were shocked at how beautiful the property was! The only two complaints I have is that the check in/ check out location was a bit out of the way for us, a lockbox on the door would have been much easier than driving an extra 30 min each way to the pick up and drop off location for the keys. The only other thing this place needs is better photos of the property and home itself. The photos online are dark and dingy and have a dated feel. Hire a photographer to take some better photos of the house itself, the property, and the amenities. It would also help for renters to know what the house looks like when they drive by so they don’t miss it (not sure why the front of the house wouldn’t be included in the photos).

Swimming Hole

The property and the Frio was awesome. For the money spent, I was a bit disappointed in the house itself. We had some sewer issues that prevented us from doing a few things that needed to be done, like showers, dishes and laundry. While the Frio Fun owner came out Saturday and we were back up and running around noon or so, it still interrupted our stay. We also had some miscommunication with check-in that the house was clean and ready when it really wasn't. No biggie, we went down to the river and enjoyed the scenery until they were done. I did share this as well as a couple other minor details with the Frio Fun owners, but a bit disappointed that they didn't offer any sort of discounts for the mishaps.

Frio

This is the 2nd time in this house. Two years ago we had plumbing problems in the bunk house and a new toilet was installed. This time the same toilet would periodically leaking, accompanied with a stinky odor. Consequently, the part of the family staying in the bunk house refused to use that bathroom at all so we were operating with only the 2 bathrooms in the house. Also, they were working in the bunkhouse bathroom and left the shower floor dirty. I cleaned it. But as I said, the teens refused to use that shower or toilet. We love the setting of this house but won't book it again due to said plumbing problems. I will say that the owner came again and again to try and fix the problem.

We'll Be Back

We enjoyed the property, especially the river and beautiful yard with volleyball, etc. There were plenty of picnic tables and lounge chairs. The house has a great layout had more storage for our groceries and other items than we've ever had before in a rental. But the utensil and large pots and pans were sparse. They brought us some new ones on Thursday so the good news is that if you tell call Frio Fun, they will respond quickly. When we first reserved the property the listing said the main bedrooms had 2 Full size beds and 1 Queen size bed. But we were pleased to find a Queen in each room. Yet the linen package we purchased didn't include any fitted sheets so that was a challenge. The bunks in the bunk house were really high so we were afraid to let the youngest, our 8 yr old, sleep on a top bunk even though he wanted to. Also the shower curtain in the bunk house bathroom was not long enough so water came out on the floor every time someone showered. And then we had the commode issue in the bunk house. That was a 24 hour inconvenience, especially since it encompassed a night. But once we reported it was repaired as quickly as possible. We appreciated that. We have plenty of experience with vacation rentals so know there are always issues. But our group said they wanted to come back to this property again and that's a first. Unfortunately we alternate between the Frio and the beach so will not get back to the Frio until 2021. But hopefully I can secure Swimming Hole as soon as you open the July 2021 calendar next summer.

Frio stay

Location was great and had somewhere to swim. House was a little rough, a lot of broken furniture and window but we did have plenty of room for everybody. Pecan trees where little crazy because there was tons of sap on everything .

Swimming Hole

The location of property is great. There is a deep swimming hole which had water when no one else had water. The river bank and outside area is great. The house itself needs work and a good cleaning. None of the acs worked right. We could not stay in the bunkhouse as it was so hot.

The river tight outback was amazing and we truly enjoyed playing horseshoes. Our family had a nice vacation. Love pet friendly Vaction homes!
