About this property
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 location. Very quiet and well equipped. Back porch was perfect for our dog. We loved having direct access to the river. The host was great and so kind and helpful. Really nice place
This property was perfect to get out of town for the weekend with our dog. Being on the ground floor and access to the “backyard” to take our dog out was great. The proximity to everything we wanted to do in the area was perfect. Nice furnishings and appliances as well. Check out requests were very reasonable.
Kids loved the river access right next to the property - we spent a majority of our time down there! Schlitterbahn is also right down the street - everything was very easy to get to!
We just came to Gruene for a quick trip and and this place did not disappoint. It was super clean, had everything we needed and more. We loved the heated pool and the great outdoor space, and our 5 year old is now obsessed with Galaga!! Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
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.
This property was wonderful! The location is excellent. We loved having close access to the river and also a pool. It’s the best of both worlds! We will absolutely be back!
Quick trip, perfect condo for our needs, great location to the historic New Braunsfel, short 30 min walk to downtown, great shops, coffee, and live music, wish we could have stayed longer. You can also access the river within the property. Great location!
We had a wonderful time at this River condo! It was a perfect location with great amenities. Suzanne was very detailed and helpful with her communications and was quick to respond. We will definitely return to this spot for future river trips!
This was a trip with my husband and my parents. We enjoyed the end unit. It was quiet and loved the patio. The location was perfect, just a few minutes to downtown Gruene and New Braunfels. We would recommend this place to others and would stay again.
Condo was perfect for the three of us. I had a flashback to my time at Southwest Texas when I ventured out into the river behind the property and chilled out…can’t wait to get back!
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.
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!!!!
Excellent complex location & this corner unit is a great place to visit w friends. Comfortable beds and surroundings. Has river access. Great notes from the hostess.Well furnished. The only drawback is that the unit smelled like cats.
Everything was very well stocked and organized. We even had all the little essentials you need in the kitchen to make a good breakfast. Since it is a corner unit, this is one of the only quiet/private units at Waterwheel. Great place to enjoy with friends and family!
I am glad we chose this location. Where our river access was, was great. It had a short section with a strong current, swimming area, sitting area. It was very nice. Home was clean and had everything we needed.
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).
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!
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.
