We rented the house for a girls' reunion weekend and comfortably slept 11 adults. The house was great - super clean, great kitchen, lots of seating and catching up areas to lounge. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of bathrooms. The communication with the owners was excellent. Location was perfect if you are needing to be close to Trinity or UIW. Also close access to Downtown. We would definitely rent again.

Wonderful experience!

The house was very clean, comfortable and welcoming. Debby was very kind and helped us whenever we had a question. She event went as far as to hang the Trinity University flag outside for our graduate. The location was great! We were a short drive to the Pearl and airport. I would 10/10 recommend staying here.

Clean, Roomy, Great Kitchen, Pretty, Helpful Host

The home was immaculately clean. There were many different spaces to spread out and either read alone or play games together. The kitchen was well appointed from the nice appliances to good pots and pans. We cooked a lot and always had what we needed. The pool is small but was fun as was the jacuzzi. We used the fire pit almost every night for lovely ambiance. The home was beautifully furnished and the Host even had Fiesta Decor to greet us since we stayed during Fiesta Week (the last 2 weeks in April each year). Deby & Lance, the owners, were very helpful with a couple small issues that arose while we were there. Deby was especially helpful before our stay with recommendations on the best Fiesta Events and restaurants we could go to with our small children. La Fonta's was a short walk from the house that even our 1 and 4 year olds enjoyed. We went across the street to "Extra Fine" almost each morning for coffee and breakfast fare. We walked to Lily's cookies for delicious, frosted homemade type cookies. And while there went next door to Barbaros Pizza for the best cauliflower dough pizza I have ever had! It was a great week at this lovely home!

Fantastic Birthday Weekend

This home was perfect for our gathering of 11 friends and family for a birthday celebration. The host could not have been more accommodating and communication was always fast & easy. The house was spacious, with lots of separate seating areas so we never felt we needed to be in the same space all the time. It was tastefully decorated and had all of the amenities we could need from shampoo in the showers to every type of drinkware, pots, pans, towels, etc. Our guests loved the modern updates as well as the vintage charm. The bedrooms were large and the upstairs loft area was a hit with our younger set. There is ONE bedroom that had a trundle-type bed, which would have been awkward had we needed it because you have to cross it to get to a bathroom and the very back bedroom. We ended up not using it so that worked out. There's a cute little coffee shop/cafe right across the street and a restaurant with little shops around the corner. It was close enough to the Riverwalk that my oldest daughter was able to get to there on a rented street scooter. We will DEFINITELY use this host/listing again!

Perfect extended family gathering spot!

We loved this house and we loved the host! Extended family met up and stayed here and the house was adorable and great for our group, including a pack and play for a toddler. We loved that there was a huge dining table everyone could fit at. Debby went above and beyond to get the small pool ready for us, and gave us some good recommendations for things nearby. I really can’t say enough good things about the house and our experience!

Charming and elegant home in the best part of town!

Wow - Debby is truly the ultimate VRBO host! We live in the neighborhood and booked this house for our out of town family during Christmas. We ended up cooking and hosting our holiday meals here instead of our own home because of the amazing kitchen/dining/living area. We comfortably cooked and dined with 16 adults and 7 young children. The bedroom situation is amazing for an extended family set up or for couples, as there are four kind bedrooms! We look for this in vacation rentals all the time and it’s very hard to find. It’s so nice for each family to have their own room. Plus, there are smaller bed options for the kids - a twin with a trundle and the smaller bed(s) in the upstairs room. Two of the downstairs king bedrooms share a bathroom, but it is nice and big and so charming. Three bathrooms total made the sharing a non-issue. This is truly a well-appointed rental, and you can tell that Debby puts much thought and care into the details of this charming home. Sometimes you can tell when properties are simply vacation rentals versus when the owner wants it to feel like a true home. In this case, it really feels like Debby has made her beloved home available to you. Additionally, she’s quick to respond and extremely hospitable. Check-in was a breeze and everything was extremely easy to find and the house was easy to navigate once we were there. As far as location, we may be biased as locals who live in the same neighborhood, but you can’t beat the IYKYK vibes of this neighborhood. Right across the street, an amazing bakery/cafe/coffee shop. Around the corner, a cocktail bar with our favorite pizzas. And then just a short 10 minute walk east on Mistletoe and you are among the best restaurants, bars, and most fun places in San Antonio - both of Cullum’s spots (Attaboy and Attagirl), NOLA, Singh’s Vietnamese, Curry Boys, Little Death wine bar…you get the idea. If you want to experience the less touristy version of San Antonio while still being a hop away from downtown & Pearl - this is your spot!
