Pecan Shores Retreat- Waterfront Home Only 6 Miles from Schlitterbahn!

Enjoy Hill Country sunsets while relaxing on the Guadalupe River at Pecan Shores Retreat! This beautiful 2,800 square foot home comfortably hosts up to 10 guests with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.

Inside you'll find an open kitchen/dining/living room. The living area features ample seating, stunning views, an HDTV, and patio access. The kitchen and dining area are ideal for gathering. The kitchen includes modern appliances, all of the cooking and dining essentials, and plenty of cooking space. The dining table seats 8 with additional seating at the kitchen island.

Pecan Shores Retreat is an ideal destination for those who want to wade, kayak, fish, or just relax by the water's edge in comfort and style, just six miles from downtown New Braunfels.

Need a break from fishing, swimming, kayaking, and generally being a river bum? At Pecan Shores you'll completely forget that you're only minutes from the luxuries of New Braunfels which is known for its many charms such as sampling the treats at an authentic German bakery, shopping the charming antique shops and boutiques, sipping wine at a local winery, or spending a day at Schlitterbahn!

Want to spend a night on the town? Head into New Braunfels to experience Hill Country-inspired cuisine, boot scoot over to Gruene Hall for a good time, spend a night under the stars at a local outdoor concert venue, or take in a movie or play at a local theatre. Finding something to do in town won't be any problem at all, choosing will be the hard part!

3 Generation Family Vacay

We had a Fischer park day, a Schlitterbahn day, and a tube the Guadalupe river day. We also enjoyed evening swims in the river jumping off the boat dock. We grilled dinner one night. Location and house were perfect for our group of 7. 3 kids, 2 adults and 2 Srs.

Family had a great time.

The home was clean, spacious and had a very nice large - equipped kitchen. The yard was large down to the back water. Only two improvements needed. Better mattresses and secure fencing at back by the water. Our family had a great time.

Pecan shores retreat ❤️

This property was just perfect. The house plan is open and spacious. The home is cozy and comfortable. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I met the owner because he was wrapping pipes for the upcoming freeze that was about to take place. He was very kind and welcoming. The outside area is great and we even used the fire pit for s'mores. I would highly suggest this property!

Great Time

My wife and I and 4 other couples stayed here and had a great time. The house was big enough to accommodate all 10 of us and had everything we needed. The only complaint we had was the noise of the AC in one of the upstairs bedrooms. It sounded windy when the door was closed. Altogether we had a great time!

Perfect layout

We used the property the weekend of my son’s wedding. The layout of the home was perfect for what we needed. Overall the property was clean though I had to sweep three inches of leaves off the porch. A little disappointed the backdrop was as weathered as it was.

Family Vacation

This home was nice. The location was peaceful, yet close to town and attractions. We enjoyed using our kayaks & tubes from the boat dock. It was nice to have a dishwasher, laundry facilities available and linens provided. The mattresses could use upgrades and the sheets would not stay on the king size bed. The water heater did not provide adequate hot water for our family of 8. Several of us had to take cool showers in the downstairs bath and the faucet temperature adjustment was somewhat temperamental. I probably just missed it, but I do not recall the website description noting that this was a two-story accommodation. It worked for this trip!

Family Trip

The home was nice, the property was not maintained. My sister and I were walking down to the pier and both of us got cuts from branches even with shoes on. The deck was nice but after getting into the water there wasn’t a ladder to help get out. I understand that this home stated no pets, but I felt it was unnecessary when my daughter and fiance showed to hang out, she brought her 2 little dachshunds I received a phone call almost n a threatening manner for them to vacate immediately! Which they did but the first day of my only vacation was very upsetting.

Girls trip

We really enjoyed this property! We had 10 girls on a weekend trip and it was the best to hold all of us comfortably! Pros: Huge kitchen and had most everything you needed! Huge yard space with dock! Fabulous shaded porch, perfect for hanging out Quiet location- still close to things but not in the heart of town Very good communication from the hosts. They even sent someone out to empty the big trash cans from the people before us Cons: There are very minimal extra bedding items- in particular, blankets The door handles on the back door don't latch well. The deadbolt does, but the handles need some work There were only 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. We actually ended up having to buy our own to make it all weekend The hot water is not fabulous downstairs. Have about enough for whoever gets that first shower We had an amazing weekend and would come back! Thanks for having us!

Family get together

The trees have not been treated for webworms. The worms are everywhere. You could not sit outside without them crawling on you or falling on you from the trees. We called about the boat lift because it did not work and was told that they would call me right back. I have not had a return call. The refrigerator was leaking. There was no dishwashing soap so we were unable to run the dishwasher. Other than these things we loved it! The house is very nice. The webworms should be addressed. Trees look bad.

Family Trip

The location and overall layout of the home was perfect! The washer and dryer worked good! The biggest issue was the plumbing. We did call the first night although I did not hear back. The master bath shower never got even warm,(cold showers each night) had nothing to do with upstairs or other shower) the commode was very slow. The kitchen cold side of faucet does not work well. We also had ants in the master bath. Things need to be tightened and checked. It would have been great if they spent some time on the deck making it ready for guests. It was worn and dirty. We could not sit and enjoy it. There were also cut down branches of trees in the middle of the yard. The cleaning crew needs to do a deep clean in the home. Overall, these few things would make it a great place to come back to. Thank you!
