Quick Getaway
Karina provided us with detailed instructions and was always very responsive! A beautiful property that has the perfect location. It was a very short walk to the San Marcos River and park. Also, short driving distance to popular areas such as the San Marco Shopping Outlet. The house provided all the things we needed brand new! First rental that we were not missing something. Plenty of space for our families, and big yard for the kids to run around and enjoy. Will definitely be back!
