Wonderful host and house

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The host was absolutely amazing. She gave us great ideas of things to do with our young kids and made us feel at home. We loved the house! It’s updated nicely and is cozy. Highly recommend staying here. Centrally located so you can be to all the great tourists sites within 10-15 minute drive and some you can even walk too.

Wonderful Home Away From Home

My mom and I booked this for our girls trip to San Antonio. House was beautiful with its historic charm, open concept, and very clean. Very accessible to all the things we wanted to do. Slept well in comfortable beds and linens. I definitely recommend and would book this home again for a return trip. Thank you for having us!

Disliked: Location
The house is lovely. It truly has early 20th century charm. The large windows, brick columns, cute walkway, iron fence, and architectural details of the home were all adorable. The hosts responded right away to any questions we had and offered great recommendations for places to visit and eat. Over-all we had a great time. The only downside was the neighborhood. It isn’t quite as deep into the King William district as we were hoping, and didn’t feel as secure as we liked.

Hope to have a reason to stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay in this house. We chose this house over having to get multiple hotel rooms for our family. We made the right choice! This house is very spacious, cozy and charming. It had everything we needed for our stay.

Great house

This was our first time in San Antonio and we loved our experience here. The house was perfect for us since we like to walk and it is close to the River Walk. We loved being close to all the cultural events, but not being in the downtown area. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped.

Perfect location

Our family had a great stay. The music upon arrival was a wonderful touch. Destin was great to communicate with and was quick to respond with any inquiries. The location was great, we were no more than 30 minutes away from all of our destinations. Downtown was even closer than that. Plenty of restaurants within a mile or two. The house was clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We had a great time!
