Cozy and Safe Spot
My husband and I plus our two tiny Chihuahua’s found this home to have lots of space, a fenced in back yard, cozy beds and a nice size kitchen. The neighborhood was very safe. We stayed two nights and it was the perfect spot. Really appreciated the laundry room. To top it off we had access to the garage which so convenient. We will stay again if we are in the area.

Homecoming weekend
We were in town for homecoming weekend at UTSA to see my daughter cheer at the game. Really lovely stay at a really lovely place. Everything was as described. Really enjoyed watching the deer in the backyard. The location was really convenient to UTSA and the Alamodome.If I were a knitpicker, it would be that the water didn't get quite as hot as we like. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Super comfortable and convenient
We needed a place to stay near our daughters in-laws for a family gathering. I also needed a large kitchen to finish decorating the cakes I had made. This was a very comfortable home to stay in. I enjoyed sitting in the sunroom Several times a day. We love to walk Morning and afternoon and the neighborhood was very pleasant to walk in. Cathy was very easy to communicate with and Home was very welcoming.

Relaxing atmosphere!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay from the moment we walked through the door. Everything felt so welcoming and the enclosed room with the big windows was the best. The rock walls and the pot belly stove made it all seem surreal.We loved watching the deer roaming around. I surprised my husband with that info. Ty for having us stay. My the day. the day. the day. The hostess was so very sweet

Great house. Perfect for our stay
I love so many things! The house had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable. Almost like home. Nice neighborhood and close to where we were visiting. We went to the Riverwalk and Morgans Wonderland. And it was too cool to see all the deer in the neighborhood. Just hanging out in the front yards. The only con was the water pressure in the kitchen sink. But it was not a deal breaker as everything else was awesome including the price. I would stay there again.

A sweet home away from home.
We really enjoyed staying at this property. The area was quiet and felt very safe, which was a bonus for two women, one of which had never stayed at VRBO rental. It made a very good first impression on her. If you have any doubts about the trundle bed in one of the bedrooms, don't. I have sleep issues but this bed was very comfortable and I slept surprisingly well. Host was great as well. I plan on coming back to to San Antonio next year and hope this home will still be available. I would stay here again for sure.

Very nice and cozy home that was clean and had amenities to make us feel at home. The backyard was nice and large enough for our dogs. There are many restaurants and shopping located nearby. Neighborhood was nice and quiet, plus had many deer roaming to make you forget you're in the city! Without hesitation we would stay here during our next visit to San Antonio.

San Antonio vaca
For us the most important part of a vacation is the rental property and this home exceeded our expectations! First, it was very well kept including the yard and dang near immaculate! So clean! Second, the house was well stocked with all the basic necessities I could not believe it we could basically unpack and relax. Didn’t miss a detail. Highly recommend this home and omg the deer! Amazing to see on a daily basis. 10++

Comfortable stay!
We really enjoyed this home for our little getaway to San Antonio. It’s so convenient to everything we planned to do. (We are from DFW and everything in San Antonio seemed to easy to get to) A nice quiet neighborhood and comfortable house. We really loved the sunroom, great for reading a book or having conversations. There are neighborhood white tailed deer that hang around in the yards and that was fun to see. When we come back to San Antonio we plan to stay here again.
