Dear Traveler to San Antonio,

Do you need a place to stay that is affordable, yet attractive and spacious? Would you like to be within a short drive of many area attractions? Do you travel with small childern who need special ameneties? If any of the above apply to you, we would like to have the privilege of hosting you on your next trip to San Antonio.

Our home is a one-story, renovated ranch-style house located in a quiet, residential neighborhood on the north side of San Antonio. We enjoyed living here for 11 years, and we live just 8 minutes away now. North Star Mall is two blocks away, the airport -5 minutes, the Alamo and Riverwalk area -15 minutes, and Fiesta Texas and Sea World - 25 minutes.

We try to maintain an allergen free environment - no carpeting or drapes. The décor is an eclectic collection of antiques and flea market treasures. The living room bookcase has toys, books, a family-appropriate collection of videos and DVD's, and music CD's.

Our kitchen is fully equipped, and the dining room has an eleven foot table at which 12 people can sit comfortably. We will provide booster seats and high chairs if needed. The pantry is stocked with basic cooking ingredients and the refrigerator is stocked with bottled water, and sodas.

The French doors from the dining room open to a large patio and fenced yard. Three large trees provide shade (very important in South Texas). Children can enjoy swings, tricycles, a basketball hoop, teatherball and other fun outdoor toys. Try out our Weber grill!

All our beds have comfortable mattresses and we also have a sleeper sofa (ideally for children) and a queen air mattress. We will provide a porta-crib if needed. The master bath has a shower only, but the guest bath has a tub/shower combination. The utility room is stocked with laundry detergent, fabric softener, bleach and dryer sheets.

The garage is converted, but the shady driveway has space for two vehicles.

San Antonio has many interesting places to see. Our favorites are the Alamo and River Walk, and the Tower of the Americas with it's 4D "Skies over Texas" ride and adjacent Water Gardens. San Antonio has a wonderful Zoo on the banks of the San Antonio River. Adjacent to the zoo is a miniature railroad which is 2 ½ miles long and goes through a tunnel. If you like plants, don't miss seeing the Botanical Gardens with their soaring, futuristic glass enclosures. If you would like to visit the Zoo or Botanical Gardens, we will see that you enter for FREE!!!

If you think our home might serve your needs, please email us or give us a call. We've been welcoming guests for two years, and we look forward to hearing from you!

  • Richard & Becky, Thanks for the wonderful house to stay in while we were in San Antonio for vacation. We really enjoyed having enough room for all of the family. It was nice to be able to sit out on the patio. The location of the house is great. We were able to find everything we needed from the notebook you put together. The washer and dryer came in handy. We could keep our swimming gear clean. Thanks again for the beautiful house. We will look you up againg next time we get to San Antonio. May God bless you and your business.

  • Richard and Becky, We had such a wonderful time at your beautiful home. It has such a warm and loving atmosphere. We appreciated all of the toys and the swing set was a hit. We spent a lot of time in the back yard and the house was great at holding several family members. The location was perfect and was close to Sea World and right around the corner from the zoo. Thanks for giving us such a wonderful place to stay and we hope to be back soon. Whenever we are in San Antonio we will always try to stay here. Amy and Chris Pennell Rockwall, TX

  • I am very pleased to say that my experience with this property has been wonderful! I had a gathering here for a special occasion in May and it was perfect for a group of adults and children. The large open kitchen and huge dining area were enjoyed by all. The kids had a great time in the shady back yard which has lots of play equipment and a lovely patio. The whole house is comfortable and well decorated. Everything is clean and in order, and best of all, close to all the fun places in San Antonio. We had a great time!

  • Richard and Becky, We had a phenomenal stay at your home. Once we were inside, we immediately felt right at home it was very comfortable. We loved staying in San Antonio and being so close to all the things we had on our agenda to see. The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. Becky your home was clean and inviting, your kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you so much for all your thoughtfulness and efforts. You really helped make it a very special family vacation especially since my husband will be deploying again soon. We appreciated all the details you thought of in making our stay enjoyable...like, the information binder with the maps and information packets to tourist attractions around the area and all the games and toys for my kids. My kids especially had a great time and really enjoyed the backyard. Your home was very child friendly. We will definitely reserve the use of your home for future visits to San Antonio. Sincerely, Alex and Maria
