My girlfriends and I had a mini high school reunion and everyone loved the house. It was beautiful, comfortable and very clean. The location was great and we would not hesitate to rent here again.

Loved our time at the property with our adult kids and young grandkids. The house was exactly what we were looking for - quiet, away from crowds and partiers, water access (we had knee-deep water in August, which was fine for us), and multiple places for hanging out indoors and outdoors on the property. We found the house well-supplied, the beds and pillows comfortable, and overall one of our favorite family weekends. We would love to come back when it’s not quite so hot and so we can enjoy more time outside!

This house is beautiful! Layout is perfect, plenty of room inside and in the yard for all activities. Extremely clean, has all the kitchen/BBQ items you need, check in/check out process very easy and great communication with management. Only negative was the river was so low, we had very little water on this water front property. Nothing owner can control. Luckily there were penalty of other water places to go and the town of Wimberley has lots of great shopping and food. Will definitely book again.

If I were reading this house solely on the cleanliness of it, and the home decor, it would get five stars. I gave this property two stars because there was no hot water. For five days my whole family took cold showers. Except in the master bathroom, and we washed dishes in cold water. Not only that, but the cold water had such a strong stench. It would stink up the whole room, very repulsive!!! Another reason for two stars is because there was no waterfront. At best it was a trickle even if the water level was at a normal level it would be maybe mid calf deep. To say this property is “waterfront” is false marketing!!! we had to walk onto someone else’s property to find water for the children to play in. I am very disappointed in this property and the way they advertise it. I had tried to send emails to ask several questions before our stay and finally had to find a phone number to call because no one ever responded. The person that I spoke with was in Belize. Talk about impersonal… They had no idea about the property. I don’t know if it’s Vacas or vrbo to blame for all of this but I feel very ripped off. We come to waterfront to find water and you certainly don’t pay the prices that I paid to shower in cold water. Disappointed is an understatement.

The house is well-appointed and in a nice location, but it is not well-managed. Took two hours and multiple phone calls to get access to a part of the house. Hot water was spotty, as was power and wifi. Coffee maker full of grinds clearly accumulated over a long period of time and therefore bot functioning. Probably will not repeat Vacasa-managed home.

Gorgeous home and was the perfect Thanksgiving get away! The fall tree leaves were so vibrant this year and we’re so stunning on the Blanco River! The house was warm and cozy and didn’t feel like a rental! If you love to cook this is your home. Two dish washers were a major plus!

We were in Wimberley for a wedding and this home was the perfect gathering place for our family. The furnishings and artwork were fantastic, the kitchen was fully equipped, all bedrooms had nice linens and were comfortable. The views out front were spectacular including deer sightings. There were many different seating options both inside and out.
We didn't love the internet equipment that stayed on 24/7 in the twin bedroom. The lights from the equipment were blinking all night. Also, the water pump? made a loud noise when anyone was in the shower but overall we had a fantastic stay and would like to return.

The house and garage apartment were both beautiful, spacious and super clean. Great yard and location. Everything you need is here, except the internet is spotty at best. Internet is satellite - we had the best luck using the Vacasa login id and pw. There is also very little phone signal here due to the hills, so if that's a big deal for you , you may want to find another property. The screened in porch is AWESOME and we spent most of our time out there eating and socializing.
A few notes to the owners: The hot water in the apartment only worked for 3 mins at a time. The 2nd dishwasher in the house needs a serious cleanout (we could only use the 1st dishwasher and the inside soap dispenser didn't work, so we had to toss the soap pods in the bottom of the dishwasher. Minor inconvenience, but worth noting).

We had a wonderful 3 day stay at Luna Rio! The house was spacious, decorated beautifully, and the amenities were perfect. Our group plans on renting it out for our next trip altogether! I’d also like to add that the local Ops Manager, Scott, provided outstanding customer service when we did run into a few issues. He was communicative and so quick we barely noticed what happened! Highly recommend staying here.

The house was big and spacious, the location was great, and there was plenty for everyone to do while on the premises. And to top things off, we enjoyed sitting on the back patio in the mornings and watching the deer while drinking coffee. We had a great time!

Overall the home was very nice and the property was left very well stocked - shampoos, towels , kitchen supplies etc.
Beds were very comfortable and views and grounds were well kept to just sit on porches to take in view to relax in the evenings.
Water levels were very low when we went so not much to do at the river there at the house to cool off but to be expected with lack of rain.
Master bath was amazing! But other showers in house and garage apt were very hit or miss- hot then cold, pressure or not- but as is with well water .
Enjoyed our stay and our kids had a great time staying up late playing cards and dominos so great memories made!

Very nice accommodations, fully stocked kitchen, multiple living areas inside and out, takes a little bit to get down to the river but well worth it when you get there. Highly recommend.

This home is beautiful and was perfect for our family to gather for Thanksgiving. There is a large dining table for meals. There were plenty of cooking utensils and pots and pans for cooking our Thanksgiving dinner.
There are 2 porches overlooking the river, one is downstairs and the other is upstairs (spectacular view).
We would stay here again!

Had a great time with my friends and family. It was nice to have all amenities including the soap supplies. Everyone felt so comfortable and with room to stretch out. The weather was wonderful and the river was flowing and it was so nice to listen to. The hot tub was amazing and the master shower was so nice. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home.

We liked the house, very nice and clean and roomy. However, to say this house is "on the river" is a joke. The "river," all 2 inches of it, was down a long yard, over a dry river bed and then through some weeds and mud into a rocky, very shallow river.
I was most upset at the charges. In addition to the quoted day rate, I was charged 30 % extra in fees, for "booking" and for "service fee," in addition to the other charges for the house. These add-on fees were made known to me as I was booking the house. I won't use VRBO again.
I am most upset about the fact that, after almost $1000 per night, I was charged an extra

We have an annual couples trip and this house has been our best property yet.
Sheets were so soft, beds were comfortable, air conditioner was superb. All of the areas in the home accommodated hosting on a new level. When you say at the dining table it felt like a restaurant. The back patio was our favorite hang out!
The river was so perfect to lay in and float rocks. Watch out for snakes though, they aren’t bad. Just be aware and mindful.
