Easy check in, house in immaculate condition, awesome weekend with family
Loved the communication with the owner we arrived at night everything was as excellent, centrally located to everything as described. My wife and kids really enjoyed the stay as do I. Will definitely love to visit again.

Renee, thank you for booking with us for your Christmas vacation. Going to the Riverwalk and seeing all the lights is always our guest favorite thing to do. Hurry back soon!
The house is in a good location, situated between our places of interest which were sixflags and downtown, close to the 410 loop which gives easy access. Nearby HEB and fastfood restaurants. Overall a nice place to stay with a big family.

Mizael thank you so much for enjoying our home during your vacation with your family. We are happy to hear you were happy with our location being centrally located to everything. Hurry back!
Jennifer’s place is outstanding - spacious, clean, and in a great neighborhood. There were eight of us in the house and it never felt crowded or noisy. The bedrooms are comfortable (and dark, if you want them to be) and the common areas are well appointed. The yard is lush and private - great for hanging out in the evenings. Communications were great and check-in / check-out were a breeze. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Location was close to airport and most everything. Easy to reach owners who were responsive to any questions and needs. We probably would have benefited from an additional bathroom - one for three bedrooms. It was hot so not any time in yard. Overall - a nice visit to Dan Antonio.

Currently in the process of getting this rating reviewed, as this is a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home NOT a 3 bedroom 1 bath. Additionally, Texas weather can get hot outdoors if you are not from here. We do feel we went above and beyond to accommodate guest throughout their stay during Memorial weekend.
This home was well suited for our family stay although we were short family due some unexpected events. Nice and clean. The host was kind enough to add Congrats sign in front yard!!!! So sweet and made it extra special.
The home was nice and close to our dinner event which made it very convenient.
We will defninitely be back!

Thank you Chris for your kind review. We were able to grant them a late check out as requested and they said they were very happy with the house. We reached out to ask how we could have done better to reach five stars instead four, no response.
Beautiful home and newly remodeled. The owners are very friendly and respond quickly to any questions if they arise. There’s a beautiful story in the rule binder of themselves and how this was their home raising their own children. Truly enjoyed the little get away. Recommend for families, older adults and responsible people who don’t mind following rules and procedures to take great care of their residence they take great pride in their home. It is conveniently located near lots of family friendly activities and if you aren’t familiar with the area the owners have lots of recommendations in their rule binder for wonderful suggestions! Thank you Jennifer for having us again and I hope we can come back in the near future with another needed getaway. :)

Thank you Devin for choosing to stay with us. We work hard to make sure our guest are comfortable and happy during their stay. Hurry back!
Jennifer was extremely fast in communicating with us about the property and even offered AMAZING suggestions for places to go with our girlfriends Friday night.
We enjoyed the backyard and fire pit! We didn’t use it, but it was still nice to sit around and enjoy our fellowship together!
The home was super spacious and clean!
We actually got to meet Jennifer face to face and she is super sweet, funny and outgoing!
This beautiful home is a must for anything San Antonio:)

Nice home, reasonable neighborhood but several issues
We were set to check in at the set check-in time of 3 pm. I was contacted by the owner that the previous guests had left a lot of laundry and it would be delayed. She quoted a 3-5 pm check in (nope - that's on her listing with another company, not her VRBO listing) and thought it would be ready closer to 5. At 5 I tried to get more info on check in and was told it was not ready, they were working very hard to get it cleaned up after the last guests. OK it's obviously more than just laundry but she did not tell me that initially. I then get a message that she has hurt her hand due to rushing to get the place ready (she did injure it significantly) and the initial suggestion in the conversation is that it was my fault since I rushed her to get the place ready. SO... the checkin was rough. We got to the home finally at 6 pm - many lights burned out, washer had been replaced that day but oops they forgot to connect the water (which we did), the dishwasher didn't work and many items in the kitchen missing after the last guests. She kindly replaced the kitchen items and the dishwasher a couple of days later. She did try to correct issues that were present so we were thankful. It was just not a good start. There were some other smaller issues but I will not elaborate on them. The house needs a thorough checkup by the owner.

We are not surprised with a less than perfect review from this guest. Our check in time is 4pm. Due to Covid new cleaning protocols we must follow new cleaning procedures and open all windows to air out the house. A minimum of 4 hours between stays. She became upset by the Covid guidelines, and didn't want to wait even if it's for the safety of all guest and CDC guidelines. If your a homeowner you understand appliances go out. Nothing was wrong with the washing machine because housekeeping used it that day. Dishwasher went out the third day of her stay and we replaced it with a new one that same day. Upon her arrival she saw us replacing two lightbulbs in the dining room. But, the under microwave night light was out. I feel like a 3 star review is unfair but what can we do, when she messages that there isn't a hand towel to dry her hands when there's plenty of them in the linen closet next to her and a roll of paper towels on the island!
Plenty of space for family. Location of property was convenient to shopping and highway. Only concern it was quite dusty and only one bedroom has a tv. However, overall it was good.

Thank you for booking with us. I'm glad your family of 12 and dog loved the home. I know it was your first VRBO stay, as mentioned upon check in if there is any concerns about anything you could have reached out to us about dust and we would have sent back housekeeping. We also don't advertise TV's in every bedroom, just living room and master bedroom. A 3 star rating is unfair especially when we are not given an opportunity to make things better during your stay. We have contacted our housekeeping company to ensure they are being more thorough.
Great place and clean and good location near my family
Reasonable priced and good location for us.

Fix a few things and this could of been a higher rating.
Location was nice, but there are a few simple things that need to be done to make staying there more pleasant. Such as, disposal needs a really good cleaning out or a replacement. I had to clean the inside because the smell was really bad. Toilet paper and towel racks need to be fixed and kitchen needs to be exterminated for ants. Cleanliness was okay, floors need a good mopping.

Doug thank you for staying with us. We always we strive for perfection and for all guest to have a pleasant stay. Upon check in we always ask our guest if there is anything you need to not hesitate to ask.
As far as ants, we went through the guest book which is left on the island for you to reference and our quarterly pest control was done three weeks prior. If there are any issues their phone number is listed. Thank you for making us aware of the garbage disposal. We will look into that. Some bathroom racks can become loose due to kids hanging on them or towels being pulled too hard, but we can tighten them.
This home is comfortable for large groups and families. The neighborhood is quiet and near so many amenities in the San Antonio area. Extra kudos for the master bedroom. The bed was so comfy and the bathroom area (it’s huge!) was luxurious. We all greatly enjoyed our stay. I’d recommend this home to anyone, and Jennifer is very kind and quickly responsive to all needs and questions.

Thank you for allowing us to host you amd your family. We love hearing how guest enjoyed their stay and loved the house. We welcome you and your family back anytime!
Jennifer was AWESOME! She accommodated part of our groups early check in at last minute. She was easy to contact/communicate with. Jennifer even had Congrats Grad decorations put up to celebrate our family member graduating from Air Force BMT which was the reason for our trip. That was super thoughtful and very much appreciated. The home was perfect and provided a cozy environment for us to hangout for the weekend. Our only recommendation to accommodate guests a little better would be to add mirrors in the bedrooms so large groups can get ready in other areas besides just the bathrooms. Would definitely recommend this home and property manager for your future stays!

I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your stay and nice review. As advertised the home has high speed internet via WIFI and ROKU streaming services in the living room and master bedroom. This allows guest a great selection of movies and shows. As far the beds, there were only two bedrooms furnished at the time which included brand new Sealy mattresses. The other two rooms were vacant. This summer we now have all four bedrooms furnished.
I am an Internet Marketing Consultant and Santos is a Software Engineer, and an Army veteran. We both love to travel, hike, and explore. We are major Foodies and enjoy trying new foods in different cultures. We are both originally from San Antonio and our family is still there.
Why they chose this property
Our Texan home is 22 years old and perfect for people who want an open concept and lots of room. It is centrally located to so many different places and surrounded by all the major highways so easy to jump on and off. HUGE backyard and you just don't get yards this big these days!
What makes this property unique
Castle Hills is a quaint and quiet neighborhood with lots of mature trees.
