Cute House

The manager was prompt at addressing questions. The location was close to Lackland. The bunk bed was great for our little kids. The only thing we would have changed is more blankets.

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!

Would stay here again

House was a great size for 3 adults a teen and 2 younger kids. The youngest loved the outdoor connect four and fenced yard! They were able to play outside while we were home and the teen loved it too! Close to all the places we wanted to go, yet still enough away it was quiet. Large kitchen and washer/dryer sure was a plus! Had one small issue, and while it just was one of those things that happens, host immediately took care of it. what a great New Years family vacation !

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!

Truly enjoyed our stay. Clean, great yard space, comfortable beds, hot water worked well, all rooms had ceiling fans and 2 extra floor fans to use. Location is extremely convenient to JBSA Lackland, HEB, Walmart, Costco, lots of places to eat and shop in Dove Creek and off Potranco. The owners are extremely responsive and thorough with their responses. If other reviews call out cats and lots of cars, I would say do not let that deter you. Yes there are cats but they are not a bother at all and don’t really come to this house and are actually great for bugs. In San Antonio neighborhoods it isn’t uncommon for people to park along the street, so that shouldn’t be a deal breaker. The house is in a culdesac so less traffic zooming through (or none at all). Extremely quiet. Will be our go to when we come in town to visit!

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.
