We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful stay at this property. The location on the river was ideal with a perfect swimming area in front. Perfect for relaxing on tubes or whatever. And literally 3 minutes from the restaurants in town.

Nice house/pretty property
The house was very nice with a pretty view from the porch. Access to the river was convenient. It’s very close to the bridge and it’s a very busy street. The noise was annoying. We didn’t feel like we’d gotten away from the city. Overall it was enjoyable.

Perfect location for a Wimberly getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Spanish Sanctuary. The location is excellent and the house is clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the sunset. Plus, Hayley does a great job of communicating and responding to questions. Great rental!

Wonderful Weekend in Wimberley
This beautiful house sits right on the Blanco River. It is clean and equipped with everything you need. The view from the porch overlooking the river is so peaceful and beautiful. The town is literally a quick car ride across the bridge. Wimberley is the cutest place ever! It was decorated for Fall and Halloween and looked so festive. There are lots of shops and restaurants in the town square. All walkable after parking your car.
Thank you for a wonderful girls weekend! We will be back.

Great house & Great location
We had a wonderful stay. Experienced really bad storm and weather one of the nights. Great location close to town. The linens on the beds had me looking on the tags so I could buy them. Everything was wonderful. Great communication and responsive management. Would definitely love to stay her again. Thank you!!!
