Best place to gather the family

The large family area and fabulous kitchen makes gathering the family simple and easy. We cooked meals together with cleanup super easy with the 2 dishwashers and 2 refrigerators. The extras of pool table and air hockey kept everyone entertained. We will definitely stay again!

Great Place!

This place is an awesome place to stay for your vacation! The location is about 15 minutes from the airport, Six Flags, and Downtown/Riverwalk. The house is spacious with plently of rooms to give everyone their own space. The pool is one of the best I have seen at any property. AC and WiFi all worked well and the game room was awesome for the kids. I would highly recommend this place and stay here again!

Ladies of the Convent

Very large and somewhat disjointed home, however a large group would be will handled. Our group of 6 had dwindled to a group of only 4. Great location and good restaurants close by. We enjoyed being close to Traders Joes for a quick meal.

We immediately fell in love with the homes history. There are so many rooms and hallways! Great for night time hide n seek! The convenience of all grocery stores and easy access to highways make this a prime spot!

Close friends annual group getaway

It was a very spacious property both indoors & outside. We enjoyed the game tables and the privacy of the property. The only thing that we felt shorted was not having tv’s in all the bedrooms and the mattresses in the upstairs bedrooms were very stiff.

Wonderful property! Will stay there again!

This home more than met our expectations! Conveniently located, beautiful property and tons of off-street parking.The house itself was amazing-perfect place to gather with family, and has so much space for staying with multiple families. Kitchen was stocked like a gourmet kitchen, and the amenities allowed for so much fun. We hope to go back this summer and use the pool! Staff was super friendly and easily reached. Rent this house!

Great Place, so many rooms

It was amazing. Rooms everywhere. Multiple kitchens. So many places to hang out in. Beds were comfortable. The pool has a deep end, I think 7 feet, which is a plus for adults. The kids loved it too.

Perfect San Antonio Home

I’m not sure what this house had more of - charm or space - but definitely had plenty of both. This house was an experience in itself. We loved it. 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms with more room than you’ll ever need to stretch out!! Hide and seek paradise! This was probably the best rental I’ve ever stayed in. It was also clean and had great amenities!! I will be back!!!!!

Comfortably

The outside is not appealing at all. But once inside, it's comfortably. The outside everything is overgrowth. You can't see the beauty of the outside at all. The pictures do not do the place any justuce. But once in side. It's very different but really nice. Love the bedrooms and bathrooms. Everyone loves the game, room.

Awesomely unique!

What a house! 10 min from the airport. So much space, so uniquely mixing vintage and modern. Seriously, if I lived in TX this is the house I would have to live in. (We're from NY. And I learned that I just don't love Northeast vintage, I love all vintage!) We think the front half of the house was built in 1929. And clearly a well thought out expansion was added more recently. Tons of space, inside and out. The pool was lovely also. Grand and equipped kitchen space, but bring aluminum foil and the like. The air hockey and pool table got tons of use. The pool was actually a great space to relax in peace. In a neighborhood, but didn't seem so. Looked like a quiet park on one side and lots of privacy "growth" on the other. Circular dive and carport for plenty of parking space. I seriously hope to have a reason to rent this home again!
