Vacation Rentals in San Marcos, TX
Your Gatsby-inspired pool home minutes from Texas State University, the San Marcos River, and the Hill Country
Why San Marcos?
San Marcos sits in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, about halfway between Austin and San Antonio. It’s home to Texas State University, the crystal-clear San Marcos River, one of the biggest outlet shopping destinations in the state, and it’s the gateway to Wimberley, Gruene, and some of the best small-town Texas weekends you can find. Whether you’re visiting for a TXST parents weekend, a graduation, a tubing trip with friends, a wedding in Hill Country, or a remote-work getaway, San Marcos has the goods — and Breezy Vacation Rentals has the home to match.
Top Things to Do in San Marcos
Float the San Marcos River
Grab a tube at the Lions Club, hop in at City Park, and drift past Sewell Park and the TXST campus. The water is crystal-clear and a steady 72°F year-round.
Texas State University (TXST)
Our featured home is a short walk to campus — perfect for parent weekends, graduation, football Saturdays, freshman move-in, and recruiting visits.
San Marcos Premium & Tanger Outlets
Over 350 stores between the two outlet centers — one of the largest shopping destinations in Texas. Perfect for a rainy-day activity or a bachelorette weekend.
Wimberley & Jacob’s Well
Thirty minutes west of San Marcos you’ll find Jacob’s Well, Blue Hole, the Wimberley Market Days, and some of the best views in Hill Country.
Gruene Historic District
Twenty-five minutes south in New Braunfels — Gruene Hall (the oldest dance hall in Texas), riverside dining, and live music almost every night of the week.
Meadows Center & Aquarena Springs
Glass-bottom boat tours over the spring-fed headwaters of the San Marcos River, operated by Texas State. Great for families and first-time visitors.
Schlitterbahn New Braunfels
Twenty-five minutes away — one of the top-ranked waterparks in the country. Summer days don’t get much better.
Austin & San Antonio Day Trips
Both major cities are under an hour away. Base here and explore both without big-city hotel prices or traffic headaches.
Our San Marcos Home
We currently operate one curated San Marcos property — a renovated Gatsby-inspired 5-bedroom retreat walkable to Texas State and equipped with a private pool, fire pit, gym, piano lounge, and smart TVs throughout. It’s designed for groups of up to 12: parents visiting students, wedding parties, tubing trips, Hill Country getaways, and extended remote-work stays. Booking direct through Breezy gets you the best rates and a real human to call.
Gatsby-Inspired 5BR | Private Pool | Walk to TXST
Step into 1920s elegance at this renovated San Marcos escape. Private pool, fire pit, full gym, piano lounge, and smart TVs throughout — including the patio. Walkable to Texas State University and minutes from the San Marcos River, Sewell Park, and Hill Country day trips. Perfect for families, friends, and group getaways for up to 12 guests.
Planning Your Stay
San Marcos is a year-round destination. Summer is peak tubing season on the river. Fall brings TXST football, cooler evenings, and the best Hill Country weather. Winter and early spring are quiet, affordable, and perfect for remote-work stays or small-group retreats. If you’re attending a TXST graduation, parents weekend, or move-in day, book early — our San Marcos home fills up 3–6 months in advance for those dates.
