About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Kickin Back is located in the heart of Concan, just off popular River Road on a country lane. Across the road is a picturesque mountain range. There are no homes to block both front and backyard mountain views. The property is quite large, with plenty of parking for everyone.
There's something inherently refreshing about sitting and enjoying the front porch mountain views. Here you'll find 2 sets of horseshoe pits with cup holders, as well as cowboy golf. Be sure to take in a romantic sunset resting on a heavy duty wooden rocking chairs while surveying the mountain scape.
Kickin Back is a perfect home for those seeking alfresco living, with a super cool backyard oasis. In the center, there's a custom rock plunge pool with a waterfall that cascades down into a capture pool below. Layout on the double lounge chair while listening to the sound of the waterfall or dine al fresco under the large timber poolside cabana.
There are several relaxation areas over multiple terraces on (3) different levels, all connected by stained concrete walkways. The outdoor fireplace sits on the very top terrace for those seeking a quiet escape. A double lounge chair sits next to the waterfall pool on the middle view terrace while a large cedar wood beamed Cabana with table and chairs is next to the house and custom charcoal grill.
Professional landscaping to create maximum beauty from every angle and soak up the incredible mountain views. The entire backyard is high fenced for ultimate privacy. A fun feature is the super cool cowboy bathroom, with rustic shower, sink and toilet.
Step inside the living room and you'll find a vaulted ceiling and spacious layout. Saltillo tile floors, floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace and leather furnishings add comfortable relaxation. The kitchen is well laid out and the dining room has french doors leading to the outdoor patio and poolside entertainment area. The kitchen has stainless appliances, wine refrigerator and a charming red screen door pantry closet to hold all your food and goodies.
The spacious master bedroom has lots of windows, king size bed and private ensuite bathroom with separate shower and toilet away from the sinks and dressing area. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and custom built-in twin bunk beds. The 3rd bedroom has a full bed and twin bunk bed. There is a conveniently located second bathroom between the two bedrooms. There is also a separate utility room with washer & dryer that leads directly to the backyard patio.
Easy flow living and rustic charm lets you really enjoy this perfect river getaway located only a few minutes to the 2nd river crossing on the Frio River.
Sheets and towels are not provided, but can be added for an additional fee.
The waterfall pool, super close location to the Frio River and lots of amenities are a great choice for the money!

Great house and pool. Beautiful landscaping and lighting. The management team was very helpful and responsive. The pool was very relaxing and the kitchen had everything needed. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
This house was located close to the river, quick drive to the stores and was just perfect for our family. We had a great time, kid enjoyed the pool a lot as he spent most of his time in it, and we can’t wait to go back again soon! Last but not least the leasing manager Nanette was awesome, super helpful and made sure our stay was comfortable!
Booking this rental with a pool was a game changer! Relaxing in pool after enjoying our fav spot at the river was so nice. Can’t wait to book again next summer!
Loved the pool and outdoor space. Pillows and towels could use an upgrade but we’re OK. management a pleasure to deal with.

We had a really great time at Kickin Back! Pool and outdoor oasis were really great! Centrally located to concan, and river entry by the crossings. Peaceful and Fun!
This was our second year to stay at this property and had noticed the kitchen was remodeled which was really nice. Plenty of room for our 2 families. This time around we mostly stayed outside of the property due to the frio being low. Swimming and hanging out by the pool was my favorite part. And if you want to see a beautiful view of the landscape or wildlife just sit upstairs by the fireplace. And while swimming in the pool we were amazed by the hummingbirds and butterflies flying around us. The only downside was the beds could be better. But overall another successful vacation stay!!
Let me start by saying WOW about the outside areas of the property. And I mean AREAS! We watched the stars from the upper deck, cooled off in the pool, played corn hole and such in the front, and used the picnic table to play cup pong. We really didn’t go inside until it was time for bed. Another plus is that they have satellite and wifi! We were able to watch our beloved Astros every night. The inside of the property is rustic, but that’s exactly what our hearts needed at the river. The beds could use some updating, as the mattresses aren’t super comfortable, but when you’re worn out from playing outside, it doesn’t even matter. Great property, and we will definitely be back!

Family time is priceless no matter the circumstances
AC didn’t work, toilets didn’t flush well, uncomfortable beds and I chose not to complain at all and chose to let the property manager know when leaving so all issues could be addressed for the next guests and she was extremely rude and abrupt even tho I wasn’t asking for anything I was merely letting her know so they could fix the issues I never asked for a refund or demanded anything yet she was VERY unprofessional in her quick responses calling me an idiot basically for not saying something when I checked in....I was thankful I didnt complain when I first checked in because if that response is what I would have gotten it would have ruined our entire weekend.....

Issues
First, having to bring all your own linens (sheets, towels, pool towels, kitchen towels) is a real pain, and we were not told that linens were not provided until after we had already rented the house. Further, the house had some cleanliness issues. The control panel on the stove was covered in grease, the refrigerator apparently had not been cleaned in quite some time, and there was even trash in the floor of the master closet and bathroom when we arrived. The beds were like sleeping on slabs of plastic. In fact, the beds were so bad that we checked out a day early and left, even though we had already paid for the whole period. The pool is much smaller than it appears in the photos, and there is not room in it for two adults and three teenagers. Overall, we were not happy.
I wish we knew that there is no phone service unless you have AT&T. Not a deal breaker but we could have prepared with burner phones and had a back up if there was an emergency. All in all, the owners went out of their way to help us out and we appreciated that! Thank you again!
We made a last minute reservation for this house 2 days before our stay. They do not provide linens and you must let them know 2 weeks prior to your stay. This is not anywhere on the VRBO description. I made a recommendation to add this to the description of house on VRBO and not just their Frio Fun website as many people use different search tools.
We got in late around 6:30pm so we looked past the lack of cleanliness. Bunk bed needs new mattress the springs are broken in several spots (my son didn’t notice he’s 7, but I did when I laid with him). We were outside about 90% of the time during our stay and enjoyed the beautiful landscaping, plunge pool, and river. There is dust all over the wood ceilings in bathroom, black mold on shower curtains, trim around shower, and bathroom baseboards. Both showers did not drain well and need to be un-clogged. Dead bugs inside light fixtures in kitchen, dead bugs behind couch in living room, the outdoor shower was capped off so we could not use.
We would stay again with the Frio Fun owners as they have fantastic customer service, but at a different house they have with a pool.
The first night the ac wasn’t working so it was miserable. We called the office the next day, they sent someone out quick but it did not fix the problem. So we had to call a second time that evening. After that the house was decent. The property was great, the pool was nice.
This house was perfect for what we needed. House was clean & the layout was awesome. Communication w/Nanette was easy. Loved the outside area that surrounded the pool, which we spent most of our time there.
The home was nice, and clean and the pool was a great plus! the kids loved it. The younger kids ages 2 and 5 were able to play in the overflow splash pool and it was perfect for them and for us to not worry! It all looked bigger in online pics but was still the perfect size for everyone to enjoy. Was hoping for a fire pit to roast marshmellows but we just used the grill instead lol. Staff was super nice, my keys ended up getting locked in my car right at checkout and the guys knew a locksmith to call. Toilets didnt want to flush that great but we were able to just fill up a trash can of water and pour in the toilet and it would flush then. The back yard was a little grown up around the house like it needed to be pruned a little but was still so beautiful! The extra ice box was a plus too because we used it as a drink fridge and the other for normal food. House had everything we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our hill country vacay.
Overall we had a great time!! Thank you!! I paid for linens....they were minimal. Flat sheets only. Only one bath towel per person. It was difficult. The washer dryer helped. Kitchen utensils, pots and pans, were less than adequate. I will bring my own linens and kitchen needs in the future, Just needed to know this before I packed.
