Checkerboard House 3 Bedrooms-Sea World, Lackland

Fun & comfy 3 bed/2 bath house in San Antonio. Located inside Loop 1604, it's a 15 min drive to Lackland AFB & Sea World and a 20-25 min drive to downtown attractions, The Riverwalk, 6 Flags, and the San Antonio Zoo. Pets are considered on a case-by-case basis.

You will enjoy the open concept floor plan with a large dining table and a built-in bench for plenty of seating & the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare and serve meals!

The Master Suite includes a king size bed and a walk-in shower. Bedroom 2 has a full size bed and bedroom 3 features a twin over full bunk bed. The hall bath includes a tub/shower combo and there is a washer & dryer in the garage stocked with laundry detergent & bleach.

Smart TVs in the living room and 2 of the bedrooms so you can stream your favorites from Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc. A high chair, pack-n-play & stroller are available for your little ones.

The back yard features a covered checkerboard patio with giant checkers as well as a picnic table with umbrella, fire pit, charcoal grill, hammock and giant Connect 4!

Cali Family visiting San Antonio

1st time to San Antonio, so we, of course, were not familiar with the area or neighborhoods. But enjoyed our stay. House was cute and quant and was easy to get to. House was close to multiple options for food and grocery shopping. We were about 20 minutes from downtown, the river walk, the Alamo, Airport and also visited the Hospitak which was also about 30 minutes in differnet direction. Overall, our visit was nice. Rooms are spacious and back yard is nice for visiting and enjoying a bbq or just drinking coffee. I'd stay again.

KIND OF CREEPY

THE PROPERTY WAS FINE, IT WAS EASY ACCESS ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY SO GETTING TO ACTIVITIES WAS NOT DIFICULT BUT THE FIRST EVENING WE WERE THERE A MAN WAS WATCHING MY GRAND DAUGHTERS THROUGH THE FENCE (IT REALLY NEEDS REPAIRED) I STEPPED OUT AND HE STARTED EXPLAINING THAT HE WAS THERE TO ASSIST WITH CLEANING OUT THE BACK YARD OF THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR. HE WALKED AWAY FROM THE FENCE AND I HAVE TO SAY NOTHING WAS CLEANED IN THE BACK YARD. IT WAS AND STILL IS A MESS. I KEPT A CLOSE EYE ON THE KIDS WHILE THEY WERE OUTSIDE.

The neighborhood is old, but the house is updated and comfortable. It was about 15 minutes from Lackland Air Force Base, where we attended grandson's graduation it seemed we were able to get to all of the attractions within about 15 minutes.

Just right!

We stayed here for our BMT graduation. It was clean, comfortable, exactly as listed. The neighborhood was quiet. The house was well stocked with things you might need for a stay. Owners were very responsive to any questions. Beds and bedding were comfortable. My only suggestion is to add another piece of furniture to the family room. We had 5 adults staying and a couple others visit during our visit with our airman those days and there wasn’t enough room on the sofas for everyone. Would stay again! Great value!

We stayed here for our son’s graduation from BMT at Lackland and it’s just inside the 1604 loop. The house was clean and the AC worked great! Lots of restaurants nearby and Lackland was about a 15 minute drive, depending on traffic.

Nicely appointed rental!

Very well kept, and comfortable home. Quiet neighborhood with a hoard of resident cats! 😂 One of the more well supplied kitchens I’ve found yet; since I like to cook for my crew, this was a nice surprise compared to the spartan inclusions at most VRBOs/Air B&Bs. Highly recommend!
