Historic home with heated lounge pool: Walk to downtown San Antonio & Alamodome!

Location, location, location! The LavacaCasa is an absolute escape in Southtown/Downtown San Antonio and offers the best location you can find in a short term rental.

Our house is steps from Hemisfair Park, King William, the San Antonio Convention Center, The Alamodome, The Alamo, The Riverwalk & some of San Antonio's best restaurants! Walk, bike or ride a scooter to the best of San Antonio's attractions. This 120-year-old cottage has been masterfully renovated with modern bohemian decor throughout. Enjoy the interior, sit on the front porch in rocking chairs, or escape in the backyard.

NEW: Hemisfair's Civic Park just opened! It has an amazing water feature that kids and adults can play in, along with a beautiful lawn and other features. Hemisfair is approximately one block north on Alamo Street.

Enjoy our heated lounge pool, covered deck, BBQ pit, eating area, lounge chairs, privacy fence and driveway! The lounge pool is 8 x 15 feet and 4 feet deep and provides a fantastic way to cool down in the summer or warm up in the winter, and it is heated year-round. We also have a propane heater on the back patio.

We provide parking onsite, with a private driveway and gate.

Southtown is an eclectic neighborhood with a mix of remodeled and original homes! The people here are diverse and extremely neighborly, and the area encompasses a large creative community with a unique mix of artists, locally-owned bars, coffee shops, boutiques, museums and art galleries. It also includes King William, a Victorian-inspired neighborhood filled with history and charm.

LOCATION:
The Tower of America and Hemisfair Park has a new children's park with a fun splash pad, and this is 1/4 mile away! They also recently opened Civic Park, with a water feature, beautiful lawn and lots of festivals and events.

The San Antonio Riverwalk is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, and it is about an 18 minute walk to the main area! You can enjoy miles of the wind downtown river with restaurants, riverboat taxis and tours, and much more.

The Alamodome is barely a 1/2 mile away! You can walk to concerts and sporting events.

The San Antonio Convention Center is 9/10ths of a mile away. The Alamo is also less than a mile away. We are truly in the heart of Southtown and downtown San Antonio living.

Guests are walking just steps from restaurants such as The Battalion, Rosario’s, Maverick, Bliss, Cascabel, Pharm Table, Senor Veggies, my favorite sandwich shop The Filling Station. ... and TOO many others to list! There are spots within a few hundred feet for lunch, brunch, breakfast and dinner.

Also steps away are great bars such as The Friendly Spot, Bar America, the historic Rathskeller, Beethoven’s old German hangout and many more! Brown Coffee is a stone’s throw away if you want some sweets instead! The Pharm table has delicious food, drinks and brunch. Rosarios is a classic. There are too many attractions nearby to mention.

FIESTA:
Fiesta is one of the premier festivals in the entire United States, taking place every April, and you will be in the heart of the festivities without worrying about driving because you are walking distance to everything!

Great home for small kids

Spring break

This was the perfect place for our spring break trip! It is a conveniently located, comfortable little place. There was an issue with the pool heater that was fixed promptly! We exhausted ourselves exploring during the day, the beds were so comfortable for crashing at night! We would absolutely recommend this historical house to anyone! Thank you so much!

Cute house, good neighborhood, easy walking to everywhere

This is a very cute house, super clean, everything we needed. Pool heater went out, and owners worked quickly to get it replaced and working for us! We walked all over. Great restaurants in every direction, about an 18 minute walk to Convention Center, Riverwalk, market, etc. Would definitely stay again!Jen

Cute, Clean and Convenient

We had a great time on our stay in San Antonio. The Southtown area is a super convenient spot and an easy walk up to the Riverwalk area. It also offers plenty of great restaurant options just a few blocks away. The backyard area and pool were great for just sitting around and relaxing. The home itself was represented very accurately on line and fit our needs perfectly.

This is genuinely one of the best places that we have stayed with our family. The property is exactly as it looks in the photos. The home was immaculate when we arrived-fresh bedding, clean appliances, well stocked and clean items in the kitchen. This property has a beautiful outdoor space that even in December we enjoyed. The neighborhood is lovely and the neighbors were very kind. We loved staying in this home! An absolute 10/10!!

Perfect place to stay!

This home was very beautiful, updated, and perfectly fit our family’s needs. It was affordable and the owners were so kind and very responsive! We traveled from Alabama to San Antonio for a tournament, but we were also able to relax a few of those days. To me, I enjoyed the home as much as the trip itself! We were able to walk to many locations that we visited. Our kids loved the pool! The outdoor area is very relaxing. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this home!

Wonderful house in a great location

We absolutely loved our stay in this property. The house is exactly as pictured and described. The location is amazing. We could easily walk to many interesting sites, parks, and fantastic restaurants. A bike tour with Cycling San Antonio showed us exactly how amazing the location was as we learned all about the surrounding areas. Even our Uber drivers told us about more restaurants we could walk to. The house supplied everything that we needed to cook and stay there, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend.
