Your Heart's Desire: First Floor End Unit!

Welcome to “Bella Vista on the Guadalupe", an inviting two bedroom, two bath condominium in gorgeous Waterwheel Resort. Conveniently located at ground level, you’ll enjoy easy accessibility and the panoramic views from the most private end unit balcony in the entire complex!

Our winter scenery is brimming with wildlife, but our spring season brings leafy shade over the lawn, full of mature Pecan Trees. Gaze at the peaceful lawn and tree-lined river views from the expanded first floor patio or stroll down to the river for fishing, swimming, daydreaming, or to dangle your toes. Bella Vista has a cozy Coffeehouse atmosphere, complete with a wireless high-speed connection for your laptop. You'll want to call Bella Vista on the Guadalupe your home away from home.

Perfect for a winter retreat or extreme fun in the Summer. In warm weather, you may want to start your float upriver and drift on down to the best gem on the Guadalupe! See our calendar for available dates!

The two pools and four hot tubs are open and available to enjoy year-round. Take advantage of one of the several picnic tables and charcoal grills amidst the expansive lawn. There is plenty of room for running and playing, reading and catching some rays, all within view from your balcony. The towering pecan trees (help yourself to the pecans) and massive cypress trees line the river’s edge. It’s just beautiful!

The home is fully stocked with all your basic kitchen needs, all appliances including a dishwasher and microwave, three smart or cable TV’s, fine linens & plenty of soft towels. You'll be surprised by all the little extras, including lawn games, board games, iron & board, hair dryer, blender, crock pot. There is also a full sized washer and dryer. Bella Vista comfortably sleeps six with two luxurious Queen beds, a Queen sleeper sofa and a Twin sleeper sofa.

Enjoy the beach style riverside pool (heated in the winter) and hot tub. Our very fun pool has bubbling fountains and shallow area for the little ones and is situated adjacent to the hot tub with a small waterfall feature. Also near the riverside pool is a separate adults-only hot tub. The courtyard pool across the parking lot from the condo includes a cool shaded pool, two hot tubs, a charcoal grill, and tables and chairs.

You’ll be walking distance from world-famous Schlitterbahn Water Park (only .4 miles away) and less than one mile from Comal River put-in, or downtown New Braunfels. There are plenty of tube rental outfits to choose from on either the Comal or Guadalupe Rivers, and floating tips, outfitter guide, and walking maps are included in the condo notebook. Check out the New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce website for current event and more area information. Try fishing from your own riverbank or the nearby Cypress Bend Park, which has a playground for the kids. Visit our awesome Public Library, numerous area museums and antique shops. Other area attractions include Historic Gruene, Texas (only a few miles away) for live Music, great food, and quaint shopping. For avid shoppers, either Tanger Outlet Mall or the Forum Shopping Center are within 20 minutes drive. Both San Antonio and Austin are easy drives but you may want to explore the lovely Hill Country towns of Wimberley and Fredericksburg if you plan an extended stay.

Wonderful Sibling Weekend
Our father passed away in January of 2023 and us siblings made a pack we would all still get together at least once a year. Oct. 2024 was the date we chose and this is the property we chose to spend our weekend together as sisters and 1 brother. We chose to cook and hang out at the condo and this place was perfect. We had a wonderful time playing games and spending quality time together. Nice and peaceful. Would recommend to anyone.

Very unhappy, To find out at the last minute, we were having a second story unit very very upset ove
I am sorry to say my family and I were very disappointed. We did not get the unit that we paid for we requested a first floor level and ended up on a second floor level. This was very inconvenient for myself being a 83 year old handicapped individual with a dog of which I had to have my children take care of because I could not manipulate going up and down the elevator after traveling distance to even get to the elevator, very unhappy. I do know that someone stayed in the unit we were supposed to have been in. I do not appreciate the information that you told us why it wasn’t available.

Loved it!!!!
We had an amazing stay! The condo is meticulously clean and dog friendly. The river access is right past the pool and there are plenty of tree roots to anchor your tube if you want to kick back and read or visit. Would we stay again? Absolutely and are already making plans for 2025!!!!

Perfect weekend
My husband, three boys (age 11, 9, and 9), myself and our two pups enjoyed staying at this spacious condo. We loved tubing the river. The dogs loved walks near the woods and jumping in the water. Our boys made lots of friends at the pool. We’ll definitely stay again.

A gem!
The kind of place that makes you go "I wish we could stay longer" when it's time to check out. The porch is the perfect place to kick back with a cup of coffee or a beer, and the interior is pristine while still feeling cozy. Great amenities (we really appreciated the guidebook). Suzanne is tremendously hospitable and responsive. Couldn't ask for a better location for river activities. We will absolutely book again in the future!

Probably the best we have stayed
This unit is perfect. It had every thing we needed. Half the patio was in the shade the other in the sun. It was private and just great for my fur baby. Close to the water and the pool. It was a little chilly so the heated pool was so nice. We will definitely stay here again. I would remind everyone the rules are there for a reason. You don’t want to wake up in the morning and find out your car has been towed because you did not follow the rules! The host was available for any and all questions and was a great help!

Very nice property
Condo was very clean with a lot of attention to details that made our stay easy! The surrounding neighborhood is a little run down, but once you get inside and look out at the grounds and amenities, it’s good! My husband enjoyed fly fishing in the river and even caught a couple ( and threw them back of course).
