About this property

Historical Building Right On The Square in Downtown San Marcos! No Pets!

  • Historic Downtown Loft: Steps from the Best of San Marcos
    Experience the heartbeat of San Marcos from the top floor of this beautifully restored historic landmark. Located directly above the legendary Sean Patrick’s Irish Pub, you’re not just staying downtown—you’re living it. Whether you’re here to explore the river, visit Texas State, or hub between Austin and San Antonio, this is your stylish home base.

    The Space: Historic Charm meets Modern Comfort
    This isn't a cookie-cutter apartment. Expect soaring views and architectural character in a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout where privacy is paramount.

    True Suite Privacy: Each of the two bedrooms features its own private, en-suite bathroom—perfect for two couples or colleagues traveling together.

    Kitchen & Living: A fully equipped, oversized kitchen flows into a living area designed for relaxation, featuring a 65" flatscreen TV and high-speed Wi-Fi.

    Thoughtful Details: Enjoy linens, ceiling fans in every room, and an in-unit washer/dryer for ultimate convenience.

    Eat, Drink, and Explore
    Forget Uber—the best brunch in town is literally downstairs!

    Pro-Tip: Don’t miss the Saturday and Sunday Brunch at Sean Patrick’s below.

    Urban Living: Being street-side on the top floor (yes there are stairs) puts you level with the downtown skyline. While the building is remarkably solid (guests rarely hear the restaurant below), you’ll get to enjoy the authentic "urban hum" of a vibrant city. We provide white noise machines to ensure a restful night’s sleep amidst the downtown energy.

    The "Historic" Workout
    To preserve the integrity of this stunning 19th-century building, there is no elevator. A quick two-flight climb up the original stairs leads you to your private sanctuary—it’s the price of admission for the best views in the house!

    Perfect Location
    Walking distance to the Square, local boutiques, and the San Marcos River.

    Central Hub: A quick drive to New Braunfels (Gruene), Austin, and San Antonio.

    Good to Know
    All-Inclusive: All utilities and Wi-Fi are included in your stay.

    Peace of Mind: 15-day cancellation policy.

The apartment was spacious with thoughtful elements for storage and convenience. The location cannot be beat with easy access to the San Marcos square with shopping, dining, and nightlife. You can park your car and walk to all of these places as well as the San Marcos river for recreation. It’s a great place to stay!

Great location!

This apartment was perfect for our 2 night stay in San Marcos. So many close, fun and yummy places to go and eat. Sean Patrick's just below was fun and has a great beer selection! Root Cellar Cafe for dinner was fantastic as was the Blue Dahlia Cafe for brunch. Everyone was very friendly and helpful at the property!

We really enjoyed staying here. The historical building had a lot of character. The property has a very convenient location to many sightseeing opportunities. We visited to view the eclipse and this place was close enough to the Hill Country for a reasonable drive. It is a college town so there are lots of eating places. There is a fun Irish Pub downstairs that was nice for a quick lunch and beer. Even though the pub is downstairs the sound really didn’t bother us. We heard some sound but the bed was comfortable and we were tired from all the sightseeing we did in the area. My usually noise-adverse husband had no comments about it! The property owner is very responsive with questions and even came to the property to show us how to use the shower faucet. The kitchen had everything we needed, although we only used it for quick breakfasts before going out for the day. The washer and dryer are top class and detergent is provided. A real plus in our opinion. There is also a nice TV. The only thing I see lacking is enough hangers in the second bedroom closet and a luggage rack. Traveling from cross country, we had large suitcases with no place to put them or enough hangers to hang our clothes. This is a minor point though. All in all, this is a great place to stay. It is a great location to see San Antonio, and Austin, as well as the Texas Hill Country.

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I rented this loft for our anniversary. It was the best! It had two good sized bedrooms and bathrooms, full kitchen, living area and a small dining area. You do not need the kitchen and dining area because the food at Sean Patrick's is some of the most delicious I have eaten in years. The service was wonderful too. I would definitely recommend this rental for anyone wanting a neat place to stay in a small town.

Was in a great location. Be aware there is a bar downstairs, and this is a very active part of town. It was pretty noisy. The ac was being worked on and wasn't cooling properly. The shower door was broken and was difficult to open and close. I put a lower rating for check in because it took 3 hours (after check in time) to get the door access code. Besides that, the response time and friendliness of the service was great. The Maintenace man and cleaning lady were very personable and prompt. Great set up in the apt with 2 en suite bathrooms and nice size living area. Fully stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals.

Lack of Communication

Had to wait nearly an hour for someone to come open the door because we were not given correct access code. No shampoo or ementites really at this place. Only pro is proximity to square and location, other than that I would never ever rent this place again.

Wish I loved it

1. The check-in process was rough to say the least. We arrived 7:50pm and we weren't able to fet in until close to 10pm. We along with Vrbo could not get ahold of the host and we couldn't figure out the key code to get in based upon the instructions sent to us. It said last 4 digits of renters phone number, which we understood that as being us. In actuality it was the host's number. I would suggest updating the instructions to be very clear to leave little room for interpretation. I will say we heard from the host the next morning and he shared he was sick, so I give some grace there for that. I'm just happy we figured it out through trial and error.2. The biggest issue we had more than the entry issue is there was a strong unpleasant smell as soon as we walked in. It was a cross between animal pee and old grandma house. We couldn't figure out where the smell was coming from. We used the box fan in the living room to try and air out the apt. It did help but the stinch did linger the whole stay.3. Overall the apartment was clean, but the details were missed. We didn't use the fridge or freeze except to put a water jug in the fridge. I looked in the freezer and there were lots of food crumbs from previous stays. The place could use an overall refresh...linens were dingy, shower door and trim were super water stained, floors buckling in some places. 4. Location was great!!5. The walk in shower is really small. My teen had a hard time in there and she's pretty average size
