"Absolutely Stunning Stay at The Elegant Manor!
This trip to San Marcos was made extra special thanks to our stay at Carmen’s beautiful home. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how gorgeous and spacious the house was. It was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated with charming, elegant touches throughout, and incredibly comfortable for our group of 10 friends though the home could easily accommodate up to 15 people!
The house is tucked away in a peaceful, upscale neighborhood with a serene view overlooking the golf course. Mornings on the patio with coffee and evenings enjoying the calm surroundings were a real treat. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, they even complimentary wine and fridge was full of drinks.
San Marcos river tubing 20 min, Restaurants & bars (5-10 min).
Carmen was a wonderful host — kind, responsive, and always willing to help with anything we needed before and during our stay. Her hospitality really made us feel welcoming." ~ Rinaz

"We stayed at elegant manor for a local area wedding. The location in Kyle was very good and easy to get to. Carmen was proactive and gave us all the information that we needed! We were able to check in a little early. The decor was so rich and comfortable! The house was super clean as well. I really appreciated the clear directions everywhere in the house and the manual on the counter. It makes it super easy to ensure that we are doing everything right. My favorite thing about the house was the very comfortable beds and amazing linens. So comfy to sleep in after our events. A bonus for me was the thick curtains in each room. So often BNBs have thin curtains that let too much light in- but these were great! Additionally there was a little welcome gift and complimentary coffee! I would definitely stay here again!" ~ Shannon

"Elegant Manor was absolutely gorgeous! My guests and I had a wonderful time in this crystal clean, beautifully decorated home! The curb appeal was amazing and the home sits in a nice, quiet and safe location that offers great restaurants and shopping centers nearby. The backyard was just as nice as the interior. My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was my very first stay in a rental home so I didn't know what to expect. Carmen left an instruction manual that was so very helpful and a wonderful idea! Carmen maintained contact with me and walked me through everything step-by-step--but from a distance. She didn't overcrowd me nor was she overbearing. This made the stay that much more pleasant. Because of Carmen, I will utilize short term rental homes moving forward. I will also recommend Elegant Manor to all who travel that way! ~Roshika

Our entire family enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere inside and out. Can not say enough good about the Hosts Tom & Carman . Very Welcoming and Responsive to any questions we had. Would highly recommend to any family traveling to Kyle Austin TX area. You will NOT be Disappointed at all." John & Brenda P
"We had a fantastic stay at Carmen’s and Tom’s beautiful home! We were in town for the 1a state golf tournament. A few of us decided to stay in an short term rental instead of a hotel—and thankfully, we found this home situated right on the golf course. The convenient location was perfect!! In addition, Carmen and Tom have a home that makes you feel at home! From the pristine landscaping to the elegant decor in the home to the outdoor patios—this house is a COMPLETE package!! I was able to communicate with Carmen from the time I booked until after I left with ease. She is extremely prompt in replying. I highly recommend choosing to stay here if you are visiting the area, and especially if you will be playing golf!!" ~ Heather

"If you think the pictures of Elegant Manor looks nice, just wait until you see this place in person! From the moment of booking, communication was efficient, checking in was simple, house rules were clear, and check out procedures were short and easy. The house is well kept and fully stocked with kitchen ware, hand soap, bath soaps/shampoo and towels. The beds were so comfortable and smelled nice and clean! The balcony is huge with plenty cushion seats for everyone to sit and look out to the golf course. The backyard is super cute and relaxing. She even has really fast wifi to connect to! Importantly, this home is in quiet neighborhood where we felt safe here. " ~ Kat
