The outdoor/pool area was a great place to gather, chill out, and make plans. The weather was in the 90's, so the pool was refreshing after being outside all day. Enjoyed our stay, and the house was roomy and had everything we could want.
We absolutely loved this property! The house was very clean and well-organized. The floor plan worked great as far as sleeping arrangements and hangout space for 2 couples and 3 kids. The design is beautiful! The kitchen and bathrooms were very well-stocked. The location can't be beat. The house is within walking distance of Hemisfair Plaza, La Villita, the Riverwalk, and more. We wish we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend this place. Corey was fantastic with communication. Thank you for sharing your property!Michelle and Paul, Houston, TX
I can't say enough positive to really capture how wonderful stay was. Corey did an outstanding job staying in contact and was always helpful. The place is immaculate and well put together. 10 stars and would definitely stay here again!
My husband and I, along with 3 teenage boys had the most wonderful time at this VRBO in San Antonio. The house itself was perfect with aged, authentic character but modern design. All 5 of us loved the large open kitchen and living room. We spent our days exploring the city and nearby attractions and nights relaxing at home. This house is 10/20 minutes from everything and very safe. Our 16 year old boys walked, scootered or ubered to everything (six flags, the zoo, riverwalk, natural bridge reserve). My husband and I walked to lunch or dinner every day, ran through the clean and beautiful trails along the river and lounged in the back yard. We ate at the Chart Room, in the Tower of the Americas, which slowly spun to view the entire city, it was a cool experience. We also went to the Rodeo- which was AWESOME! And the Pearl district. So much to explore! Thank you for letting us stay at your adorable VRBO!
This house makes you feel like you are in the Alamo! Definitely captures the historical vibe of San Antionio with modern comfort. The property is obviously meticulously cared for and the owner does a good job communicating and preoaring you for your stay. Walking distance for a healthy adult to all the fun places in town. Or you can jump on a blue e bike and get to the Riverwalk, Alamo, towner of Americas, ect ect. I would recommend this rental to my friends and family.
