About this property
Family and Pet friendly
A quiet neighborhood to call home whether coming to work or to play or maybe to visit family and friends. This comfortable home is convenient to much of what San Antonio has to offer. It is close to great shopping (La Cantera, The Rim and North Star), dining, Hardberger Park, Fiesta Texas, UTSA, the South Texas Medical Center, USAA and the San Antonio Airport. Downtown attractions such as the famous River Walk, Pearl Brewery, Hemisfair Park, the Alamo, and Majestic Theatre are an easy 20 minute drive away.
This is a clean, NON SMOKING property perfect for a family to meet up for some San Antonio fun or a business trip where you want the feeling of home.
This was our first home and has sentimental value to us. Early in 2017, we decided to turn it into a rustic style home for visitors coming to San Antonio. We have decorated the home with reclaimed rustic wood - mostly reclaimed heat treated pallets. It has truly been a labor of love and many months of work, as we did all of the work ourselves. From staining the floors, to tearing apart pallets, distressing the wood, to scrounging hard wood flooring that others were throwing away, we turned what some consider trash into treasure. We are still working on landscaping the yard - seems like that will never end - UGH! There is plenty of parking space with room for four cars in the driveway (which is partially shaded) as well as street parking, but the garage is not available for parking.
There is a gas/charcoal grill in the back yard as well as a nice patio area with a table and chairs to sit and chat with family or friends.
There is a 55" Roku TV on the wall in the living area as well as high speed WiFi internet access.
The entire home and yard are for your enjoyment. The garage is not currently available for guest use.
Sean and/or Karen will be available to assist and we encourage our guests to get to know us. We enjoy the hospitality of it all.

We enjoyed our stay for a weekend in San Antonio. The location was quite convenient for the activities we had scheduled. The house was very dog friendly, so our dogs enjoyed their stay also. We would stay here again.
The house was in a quiet neighborhood. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Sean and Karen were quick to respond when we had questions. The dogs loved watching the squirrels overhead in the safety of a fenced in backyard!
We had a great time visiting Texas. This house was perfect for our stay and exactly as advertised. The pictures do not do this home justice! Will definitely stay here again when we return to San Antonio.
Quiet neighborhood, all kitchen items, linens, and every day items provided. For those traveling with a pet, the fenced yard is a great feature. Sitting outside with morning coffee and listening to the birds singing in the tree canopy was a pleasure.
Lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. The owners made sure we had everything we needed and were easy to contact. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting San Antonio.
We loved our stay! The house is beautiful and very clean. It was perfect for what we needed it for. It’s close to all the attractions and worked well for our special needs child and our toy poodle. We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts are very friendly And I really felt like I was at home in their house. Hoping to go back next year!
We had a great time. The house was clean, plenty of space and we even got to enjoy the neighborhood pool. We were staying to attend my son’s Basic Training graduation. It was an easy 20 minute drive to Lackland. I highly recommend this home.

Excellent home in a fantastic location
Our two families had a wonderful time sharing this house while enjoying much of what San Antonio has to offer! Close to the theme parks and the Riverwalk as well as so many great restaurants, the location was awesome! The house was clean, comfortable, and the owners were extremely accommodating! Plenty of room for two couples, four kids, and two dogs! We will definitely stay here anytime we can when we return to San Antonio!
The hosts were kind enough to allow an early check-in and approval for our dogs to stay. We needed lodging while we were moving out of our home and preparing to move to Illinois. We are so thankful!
This property is perfect for a quick trip, which is what we did, or a long stay. It was more than enough room for my husband and I and our two dogs. It's located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood and its close to shopping and dining with easy access to the expressway. The dogs loved the backyard. We loved all the little special touches this property provided. We will definitely be return guests!
A lovely home base that we could come back to after a long day of visiting family, sightseeing, and shopping. Everything was available that we hadn't even thought of. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed your stay-hope you can come again soon!
Very comfortable home in lovely neighborhood. Mattresses were very comfortable and kitchen was well appointed. We even baked 2 pies, roasted a few pieces of turkey and made gravy for a family dinner we attended. Loved the property just be aware of multiple levels throughout the house.
We stayed for several weeks while visiting family. Everything was great. There are quite a few places inside that have one or two steps up & down which took a little getting used to. Hosts are doing a nice job with the Texas themed remodel.
If you’re looking for a spacious house, this is it. It has the feelof a real home, not like the ones where you afraid to touch for fear ofbreaking great quiet neighborhood Shawn was very helpful and telling us where to and not to go. He even help me find another place when our time is up if I ever go back to San Antonio, I would definitely stay there again.
My wife and I spent over two weeks here visiting our son and new daughter in law. The owners were accommodating and responded quickly to all questions we had. The house is a comfortable setting with most everything you would need for daily living. We also had our two dogs with us. The back yard was perfect for them and the neighborhood was great for walking them. We look forward to renting this home for our future trips.

Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you as guests again!
My mom, sister, and I decided we wanted to do an adults trip with our husbands. I knew just the place we would stay! My husband and I stayed here last summer with our kids and it was perfect. We’ll it was perfect again! We all felt like we were at home. The back yard is big and perfect for our dogs. Everything is about an hour away and being from Houston that’s normal for us. We went to Fredericksburg, Canyon Lake, and Gruene. The host are always amazing and just a call away if you need something.
This place fit me perfectly. I felt comfortable in the neighborhood when walking and was pleasantly surprised by how friendly the people there were. This was important to me because I stayed for 2 months. The fenced back yard was necessary for my dog to allow her off leash. It's close to groceries, dog parks, trails for walking, bus route and easy driving distance to the downtown River Walk and surrounding areas.
Originally we had a trip planned with my parents but ended up just being my husband and I with our 4 kids. This house was perfect! My husband and I are native Houstonians and avid outdoors people so the decor fit our style. The house is perfectly located to do anything you want in San Antonio. We also visited Gruene and Austin as well! The kids loved sleeping on the bunk beds and were so happy we could bring our family dogs with us. The neighborhood was so cute and very quiet! It was the best birthday vacation I’ve had!
What an awesome Christmas!! The house has so much Texas charm. Sean and Karen were great hosts, ensuring all of our comfort and needs were met. Since most of our immediate family is in the San Antonio area, we were so grateful to visit with them in such a comfortable home. Thank you, Sean and Karen, for giving us the opportunity to make such great family memories. God's blessings to you and your family for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2022!! The Polanco's (Michigan)
