About this property

Beautiful Home in Historic Neighborhood

The two-story, 2000 square-foot house is located in the historic Lavaca neighborhood just south of downtown. There are two bathrooms and four bedrooms. Three bedrooms have queen-sized beds, and the fourth has a queen bed and a twin. There is also a queen-sized pull-out sofa bed and air mattress available. Cable television is in the living room. Other amenities include DVD player and selection of movies, board games, wireless Internet, washer and dryer, and well stocked kitchen.

Perfect for families and groups. Proximity to convention center makes it ideal for groups attending business conferences.

Groups larger than 8 members must be approved by owner.

Neighborhood : This lovely home-away-from-home is located just south of downtown in the Lavaca neighborhood, the oldest residential neighborhood in San Antonio. From the front door, it is a short walk to the Alamo, the Riverwalk, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Alamodome, the South Flores HEB Market, Rivercenter Mall, the Blue Star Arts complex and many other attractions. If you want to see the best of San Antonio and don't want to deal with driving, our house is perfect for you!

It's a seven-block walk to the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and seven blocks to the Alamo. If you'd rather not walk or if you're headed somewhere a bit farther away, it's only one block to the San Antonio transit system, including the Viva Routes, which pick up every 15 minutes, and buses that connect to all parts of the city. San Antonio Bike Share, our fabulous bike sharing service, also has several nearby stations. If you do have a vehicle, there's easy highway access and off-street parking for four cars.

For your protection and ours, I will need to speak to you on the phone before confirming a rental. Please follow up e-mail inquiries with a phone call or be sure to leave a phone number so I can call you.

Location could not be better. Perfect for Lackland AFB graduations. 15 minute drive to the base. You can walk to Riverwalk in 15 minutes. All kinds of restaurants to walk to close to the home. Randy is a great host. The beds are very comfy. Pantry stocked with some food if you don't make it to the store in time. HEB market is fantastic. We would definitely rent this historical home again. Randy even has directions to the different sites.

Great neighborhood

Great place to stay, convenient to everything. Easy walk to Riverwalk and Alamodome (in town for the Final Four,go Gators!). Off street parking was a plus. The Tommy-provided essentials of fruit, milk, eggs, etc. was a nicetouch. Would definitely stay there again!

OMG! Where do I start! The house was amazing. The owner stocked the kitchen so well, if you didn’t want to leave you had most everything you wanted to prepare a meal. The house was clean and comfortable. You are within walking distance to the River Walk about a mile, we did it and will not do that again. We are old! Lol and it was hard on our bodies in the heat. Some of us, who are cat lovers, loved the cats! I finally made friends with one of them before our stay ended. The owner is amazing! The contact between myself and the owner was great! I would love to talk to him more about the home! If ever returning to San Antonio, I would definitely stay here again!

If this home had been completely restored, this home would be absolutely beautiful! It took me back to my childhood memories. We would definitely stay again if we are back down that way. We all had a great time. Walking distance to riverwalk. Plenty to keep us busy!

A Week in Southtown

Overall we loved the area. Plenty to do within short walking distances for all ages, a ton of great restaurants, and in a great old neighborhood. The house is old and had great character but with any old house its constantly in need of work. There were obvious projects ongoing in and outside the house. No big deal but would've been nice to know prior to arrival (the yard was a mess, nails/screws in the driveway, outside trash cans hadn't been taken to the curb in awhile). To sum it up. We loved the house but it needs some TLC, the area is amazing, and there is no shortage of great things to do.

Convenient, comfortable location with charm

My wife and I with 3 adult children, who were home for spring break, truly enjoyed this 4-bedroom home. It was comfortable for all of us, and in a great, safe location. We were able to walk everywhere downtown (Riverwalk, Hemisfair Park, Tower of the Americas, Majestic Theater, Tobin Center, Alamo, San Fernando Cathedral, ghost tour, also really close to South Town restaurants). San Antonio is a great city, and we feel like experts of its history now. Host was great! We will definitely come back!

Girlfriends get-away

Location was great-close to everything we wanted to do. I love that the host provided some essential groceries including eggs, fresh fruit, and a loaf of bread. That was a nice touch. Everything was clean and in order, the neighborhood was relatively quiet, and the beds were comfortable. We had a fantastic stay!
