The pictures are beautiful. However, the moment you drive through the gate you know you have arrived at not just a beautiful property, but a beautiful experience. As you walk through this house you realize that attention to all possible needs are met. But, when you step onto the back patio and see the grounds, the family of deer and beatiful lake, you know you are in for an amazing time. Oh and you have to walk barefoot through the grass.
Everything was wonderful from the long driveway, seeing all the deer, easy straight forward entry into the beautiful clean home, wonderful screened in back porch, and sitting areas with wonderful views of the lake. We played in the lake, fished off the dock, and enjoyed the board games. We went to wonder the tube chute and enjoyed the river and went to San Antonio! Windy Shores was wonderful and close to
We had a quick last minute trip picking kids up from summer camp. It was perfect for our adult kids and grandkids. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us.
This is a great house and is in an excellent location! It was close to everything my friends and I wanted to do, and the back screened-in porch was great for us to hang out in.
The home itself was great. It was very clean and had every thing. The only thing that was a little disappointing was how hard it was to get to the water. There was a ladder that didn’t seem sturdy enough to climb down from the dock to the water. Due to this we felt the description of the home was misleading. You really can’t swim from here and if we had kayaks it would have been really hard to get them down and then back up that ladder. The home was perfect for my elderly parents but my teenagers were bored and disappointed.
My husband and I rented this beautiful property for the month of February. If I could, I would have given them even more stars. . Everything was even nicer than we expected. Wende and Sandy were very pleasant and helpful. It was a great experience! We hope to make it back, next year! I would highly recommend this property! You won't be disappointed!
Cozy, clean, plenty of beds, great yard, good location, overall great property!

Beautiful property and very homey.
We all loved staying there. The outdoor space and dock area are beautiful and relaxing! Even though there are houses all on the water, it was never too loud at any time of the day. The outdoor screened patio was great for sitting out when it gets dark and having some wine with good friends. The home is very spacious and comfortable. Wish we had decided to stay longer!

Absolutely beautiful home and awesome waterfront property
We had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful home for a weekend and absolutely loved every second of it. The home is the perfect and the waterfront is beautiful. Gorgeous screened in porch to enjoy the views of the backyard. Wende was very kind and easy to work with. I highly recommend staying at this property. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!

Perfect place to enjoy a weekend or spend a week!
Great setting. Loved the screened in porch, large yard and semi-secluded back yard. Perfect access to the lake for swimming, boating, fishing or just a relaxing evening by the water. Hosts were easy to work with and the house is large enough that your not tripping over each other. Will be back for sure.

A great house for family & friends to gather
We spent the weekend with family and enjoyed it very much. The course is very comfortable, and well appointed with everything we needed. We loved the huge yard, and the docks made it easy access for kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Layout and Excellent Location!
We fell in love with this house. The location is convenient to Gruene, New Braunfels and even San Marcos. We rented the house while we moved in our Texas State Bobcat. The house slept our niece and her friend in one room comfortably. My wife and our two young boys slept in another bedroom. My sister and brother in law slept in the master. We had room for a few more folks with the rollaway beds and couches.
The layout is excellent for families. We loved the back patio and open living area. The home is very well maintained and wonderfully equipped with most everything you need.
The water front is beautiful. We caught several fish (one big 24 inch catfish as well!) and enjoyed watching the water skiers.
My only regret is we didn't bring our boat and stay longer!

Beautiful location, relaxing stay
We loved staying at Windy Shores. The house is clean, inviting, and comfortable...just enough in terms of decor but no personal effects to make it feel strange. Sleeping areas are large and roll away beds accommodate lots of kids! Great location on the quiet side of the Guadalupe with gorgeous views and a sprawling lawn. Only a short drive to town, tubing, Schlitterbahn. We will be back! Thank you Wende

Scenic & Relaxing
In 40 plus years of travel world wide I can honestly say this is the cleanest and best maintained rental property I have experienced. Completely stocked all you need to bring is a few personal items. Ownership is extremely responsive and easy to coordinate with. The screened porch and view of the backyard and river are breath taking. This was the second consecutive year we vacationed at Windy Shores and we are planning to make it an annual event.
This is definitely a home away from home and I highly recommend it.

What a fabulous place! The view is awesome and the home is so nice. The owners are so gracious and have gone out of their way to make this place welcoming and comfortable. The location is very convenient but yet you feel like you are out of the city. We certainly were not ready to leave! Thank you for a wonderful place to come with our family! We hope to come back soon.
