Your Heart's Desire: First Floor End Unit on the Guadalupe! Dog friendly!

Welcome to “Bella Vista on the Guadalupe", an inviting two bedroom, two bath condo 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!

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 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 new, highly rated King & new 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 sits across the parking lot from the condo includes a cool 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. Try fishing from your own riverbank or the nearby Cypress Bend Park, which has a playground for the kids. Visit nearby 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 lots of fun shops. 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.

The door is equipped with a digital lock for seamless, contactless, self-check in. There is also a ring doorbell for added security.

Great spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gem on the river. It was so nice to find a great place that also allowed us to bring our dog. Suzanne was an awesome host and communicated with us every step of the way. It was quite refreshing to have stay somewhere that was well equipped with basic essentials and was exactly as described, if not better! We loved it and are already discussing when we might be able to visit again. Thanks for everything!

Spring Break Getaway

My family took the grand daughters for a short spring break getaway and we could not have been happier with Suzanne's place. There was plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 littles. They had a great time and the location was perfect for what we had planned to do with them. San Antonio was to the south and the Tanger Outlets were just north of the condo.We would definitely stay again.

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.
