    You really can’t beat the amenities or the location of this place. The bed is so incredibly comfortable, the coffee station was lovely, and there’s a ton of space to spread out. And South Main in BV is magical. Great shops, food and drinks are all just a stone’s throw away — as is the cities network of trails around the river. We’ll be back!

    My family had a wonderful time here at this home and in Buena Vista. This home is in close proximity to the Arkansas river - our favorite place to hang out. Also there is a nice brewery, bakery, and bike shop next door. Main Street is only a 20 min walk. The owners were wonderful and available for any questions and suggestions. It was a warm weekend so the A/C was appreciated!

    We had a great long weekend! The location was absolutely perfect! Property was just as described. It would be just right if you’re coming with kids - they have everything to suit the needs of a small family! Not ideal for 6 adults maybe (we ran short on glasses every day), but overall I definitely recommend this Property!

    This is our 2nd time to stay at Beat the Heat on South Main in Buena Vista. We love that area and we love staying at Amanda's place. Always easy to work with, always clean and updated. Always a relaxing, joyful time with our family. Legit 5 stars!

    We had a wonderful stay. The location with walking distance to great restaurants? Coffee shop,hotel restaurant and bar and cool shops was a huge plus. Check in and out was a breeze and the property was probably the most well stocked condo we have ever rented. There is so much to do in Buena Vista. We can't wait to come back.

    Such a great location and comfortable home. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort in the upkeep. They were very prompt responding to snow removal on slippery steps which was very appreciated. The coffee bar was such a great touch.

    We enjoyed the property, well equipped and great location. However almost every other house in the area had a porch. Buena Vista in summer is a place to spend as much time as possible outdoors. There was no front porch in the pictures and because of that, we assumed there would probably be one on the back of the house. Sorry. That was our only disappointment.

    It was so nice to be here again. Shane and Amanda are great hosts, and willing to jump in and help with even the oddest requests (eg., how to solve for an Amazon delivery that got caught up at the local post office). We've stayed here before, and we'll stay here again. Awesome property!
