Dignowity Hill was San Antonio’s first exclusive residential suburb in the early 1900's as can be seen by the large houses and huge lots. It is now considered a Historic neighborhood of San Antonio. You are in the perfect location to site see and as we mentioned above you are basically 1 mile from all of the downtown tourist attractions (Riverwalk, Convention Center, The Alamo, The Pearl). We are also a step away from the historic Hays Bridge & only one block from the Alamo Brewery!

Our home has been designed to keep its Historic designation but we also added all of the modern luxuries you could desire. Your safety is our utmost priority, and for your peace of mind, so we have added in special cleaning guidelines to sanitize the house after every stay to keep guests extra safe!

We have amazing neighbors and we have had zero safety concerns but if this kind of environment would impact your stay we recommend picking a suburban environment further away from the downtown area.

Like many urban areas right next to the downtown, you will notice the gentrification which includes houses that are not taken care of and often homeless individuals walking in the neighborhood.

A one-story layout the house offers 4 bedrooms that are all themed and gorgeously designed after San Antonio's biggest attractions! It also offers two full bathrooms.

The modern kitchen is well stocked to provide anything you might need to cook a delicious meal, finished with stainless steel appliances.

Our backyard has a gorgeous pergola, perfect patio furniture and also a propane bbq grill that your group is free to use.

Bedroom 1 (The Alamo): The master suite is perfectly designed with a luxury king mattress, and 4K HD Smart TV, and has enough space to set up a pack-n-play we provide.

Bedroom 2 (The Riverwalk): With vaulted ceilings, a Queen bed, your own TV, and a private walkout patio this room is perfect for some privacy.

Bedroom 3 (Tower of the Americas): Pack in the room that offers two full beds!

Bedroom 4 (Mission Trails): The arcade room that offers full-sized NBA Jam, Street Fighter and OutRun (racing game). We also have an amazing glow-in-the-dark fort that can be setup, a full size and trundle bed (two twin mattresses).

The backyard is massive and has one shed and one large storage house that is boarded up. It also has additional parking that is gated for those with many cars or that would feel more secure parking there.

RULES:

We also charge $150 for an unapproved late checkout.

Smoking is strictly prohibited inside our property. You can smoke outside the property but we will just ask to make sure the smoke doesn't go inside and dispose of cigarette butts properly. Violation of our non-smoking policy will result in a minimum fee of $500.

We only host groups over the age of 25+ years old. Will need ID verification.

No parties or events.

We only accept pets that are under 35 pounds and we will just ask for a picture.

Pet Fee is $85 (max of 2). This is a one-time, non-refundable fee as we shampoo the carpets after each pet stay. No pets on furniture, please! Also, please clean up your pet's feces or we will charge an additional $40 fee if uncleaned feces are found.

Please note that a fee of $25 per guest per night applies for additional guests beyond 5.

For cancellations, please note that we do charge a payment processing fee on top of our cancellation policy.

We are available for all of your needs and our number one goal is for you to have a 5-star experience & stay.

Beautiful Historical Home

My family and I enjoyed our stay. Home is completely remodeled and well maintained. We travel a lot, I must say this home was well stocked with extra essentials that most would forget. Kitchen was well equipped, propane grill and fire pit worked perfectly! Would highly recommend and our family will book again!

Perfect House for Groups

We rented this house for a buddy trip. It was a perfect house—lots of room and great amenities. We were able to walk to the Alamo Beer Company, the River Walk, and The Pearl. Perfect place, and the property managers were great to work with.

Awesome host, house, and amenities!

EASIEST CHECK IN I have had yet. A great value and a fun place to stay. The backyard was nice to relax, and the arcade games A+! The rooms were huge and beds comfortable. The kitchen/dining/ living is a big open space, perfect for just about anything. The area is close to everything, we uber'd a lot, but we could have walked. The neighborhood is being revitalized (so 4 stars and really just a heads up), but ultimately it was quiet and we had no issues.

Beautiful inside!

We were a group of five that stayed one night for a quick weekend girls trip. The inside of the house was beautiful, clean and there was plenty of room for all of us. When we arrived the house was a bit warm and we notified Lucas and within hours he had someone come, check it out and got it taken care of within hours. I gave only 3 stars for the location, but only because we wanted something close enough to walk to and from the Riverwalk, however the neighborhood is clearly going through some changes and we decided it was safer to Uber in stead. The Uber ride was about 5 minutes, cheap and convenient. We would definatley stay again!

Excellent location for downtown events

We loved staying at 521 Hays. The property host, Lucas, was very responsive. We had a slight A/C issue which he had fixed same afternoon. We got to the Alamodome in less than 8 minutes, which was AWESOME. We loved the open floor plan of the house and how all doors opened to the great room. Really generous sized bedrooms.

Perfect overnight near downtown

The Hayes house was larger than expected, and met our needs as a group of friends in every way. It’s an easy Uber to downtown SA. The house was clean with comfy beds and plenty of towels. It could use a couple more wine glasses and some hot pads, but our time there was extremely enjoyable!
