This little cottage was the highlight of our 3 night stay. It was very neat, clean, and very cozy. It was perfect for us! And the private parking was a definite added plus. We can’t wait to come back and stay again.

Clean and had all the basics necessary to cover my needs on this short trip. I appreciated that the kitchen wasn't stocked with left over condiments from past travelers. My only constructive advice... the wall air conditioner blows directly on the bed and it cannot be redirected so you may want to look at that.

Cute cottage

This cute cottage fit my needs for the time I needed. The yard was perfect for my dog to run around and play. The communication with Carlos was outstanding. Any time I had a question or concern Carlos happily handled whatever it was.

Clean Home base for SA Vacay

I was here for vacation and Final Four Weekend. This place is close to the airport/highway, was clean for my stay, and there was good communication with Carlos. I appreciated it as a home base for my time in San Antonio. When first arriving I was confused about where to go but I learned how to navigate soon enough. I would say the area has some closed businesses around it and an older hotel so it may seem sketchy to some but I always felt safe. Overall the experience of cleanliness, communication, and convenience were good and that's what I needed for my stay here. I would recommend with the one caveat of the location.

Mom's wkd

Pros: great convention location, clean, safe, private, stocked well, TV ans wifi good, ac nice and cool. Carlos was SO nice and great to work with. Very accommodating! Cons: bed too firm (hard to sleep in), toilet needs work (simple plug inside water chamber need to be replaced and wouldn't always flush on its own), found some used towels behind the bathroom door upon arrival, and place was hard to find at the end of the day. Alley way is not marked and you need to use the alley way to access condo. Suggestion: give renters specific directions before they get there. There are some fantastic directions inside the cottage on counter that would of been very helpful to start out with before we arrived and couldn't find the unmarked alley in the dark.

Hi Leslie! It was a pleasure to host you, thanks so much for your stay. I really appreciate the invaluable feedback. In fact, we rely on guest feedback such as yours to ensure our guests will have a comfortable stay; I'll get on these things you mentioned. The access and arrival instructions are provided in the e-mail, I'll be sure and compare them to our notes in the cottage to ensure guests are able to navigate to the designated parking area. Please remember, I'm always a phone call away and happy to assist no matter what the hour. Overall we're glad you found our cottage to be in a safe and convenient location, clean, well stocked, with good TV/wifi and nice & cool A/C! :-) We can't wait to have you back out to our cottage. Thanks so much for the 5 star review!!!

Long term stay

The Cactus Cottage was a really good choice for my extended stay in San Antonio. The cottage was plenty of room for one person and the neighborhood was safe. Only a few minor complaints about the bathroom door not shutting all the way and the occasional lack of hot water when someone was doing their laundry. Despite these things, I would definitely recommend the Cottage for anyone looking for a place in SA!
