Great house and location to downtown is amazing!

This is a charming house and is definitely worth staying at! We really enjoyed our time here and the proximity to downtown. At first glance the neighborhood can appear rough, but once there it’s awesome! We walked to restaurants and bars and to downtown. Give it a stay! You won’t be disappointed!

Incredible Remodel of this Historic house!

What an incredible stay and an incredible remodel and renovation of this historic house. From the moment we walked in, we were in awe. Such beautiful finishes, cleanliness, and just overall excited to be staying here. Communication with the host was great. We arrived after hours and had easy access through the gate in the backyard and the house itself. Would recommend anybody staying in San Antonio to try this historic house out. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful Home

We absolutely loved staying at this home! It is just like the pictures. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. The bunk beds were a huge hit for our kids. Everything was very clean. We would definitely stay again.

Luxurious property

Very nicely renovated historic property. Luxurious touches throughout. Huge backyard that our kids enjoyed playing in. The rest of the neighborhood wasn't nearly as nice as this house, but it's centrally located near a number of attractions in San Antonio.

Nice property close to several favorite downtown spots.

Great house! Very clean and well furnished. Exactly as described on the site. Close to Pearl, Frost, and the Riverwalk. Host is very responsive to communications. Only slight draw back is the neighborhood didn’t seem to be the best, but we didn’t feel unsafe.

San Antonio gem

This home felt like I was back at my grandmas house with a modern twist. The time and detail that was put into the remodel of this older home made this stay feel like home. The beds are heavenly and the showers were spa-like. The home perfectly matched the photos. Tammara was the perfect host and helped make our stay perfect. I highly recommend this property for families and even single travelers. I’m not someone to repeat stay at properties but this property will likely be a home away from home for me.

Feels like home!

Myself, my husband and two daughters (ages 12 & 14) stayed in this gorgeous home for five nights in May 2025. We all LOVED this home so much. Getting to the home from the airport was only about a 20 minute cab ride. Some of the streets leading up to the home made me a little nervous (due to what appeared to be a large homeless population near the overpass). However, pulling into the home eased my worries. The outside of the home is well maintained, with a private driveway and parking available behind a locked gate.The inside of the home was immaculate! Every nook and cranny was fresh and clean. It even smelled really great. Everything in this home feels so luxe and there is no detail that has been missed. The decor is beautiful, like something straight out of a magazine.Every bed in the home has a very comfortable tempur pedic mattress, which we appreciated. The bedding was so comfortable and soft and all of us loved that they provided throw blankets throughout the home as well. Similar to the bedding, the towels in the home were also very soft and cozy. This home had everything that we needed, and more. Each bathroom has shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The kitchen has ample amounts of coffee pods and tea bags.I also appreciated that there was a very user friendly alarm system that we were able to utilize during our stay. We adored this home. It truly felt like home and we were all very sad when it was time to leave.

Feedback to Tamara.

House was nicely decorated and clean. The house is well equipped for cooking and sleeping. I am not sure why the balance for our rental was not charged with the credit card information that I had provided in the beginning. Is that a VRBO practice? I did not know until our arrival day that you had not charged the balance. I did not receive any notification that it was outstanding until we were ready to check in. Also, not sure of the cause, but 4 adults and one child in our party had sore throats the last day of our stay. My wife who is a nurse speculated that there could be some sort of mold issue in the house.

Style.History.Proximity.Comfort

The location of this home is ideal for anyone visiting the Alamo, Pearl District, Convention Center. East drive to any of these spots. The home itself is very nicely decorated and offers some history in the home which is such a personal touch. It’s ample bedrooms and kitchen lends itself for a comfortable stay for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. We also enjoyed a group dinner one of the nights with friends/family in the area. It was a fantastic stay, thank you for sharing your home with us!

Martial arts tournament

It is a beautiful property conveniently located to downtown. We chose to stay here as my children were competing in a world taekwondo tournament at the Gonzalez Center. Perfect for my family, my parents, and my inlaws to comfortably vacation together while there.
