  3 Couples from PA ,
  • Thank-you for the use of your lovely home! The house was spotlessly clean, no little dustballs on hardwood corners, no dust anywhere. The beds were comfy and the white towels were lovely. We loved going for a walk around the quiet neighborhood, driving the short distance to the Riverwalk, walking to the coffee shop,etc. We also appreciated all the 'tourist'information you provide. We made use of the games,too.The house was perfect for us, 3 couples coming together to attend a wedding in the area. Thanks again.

  • My husband and I stayed in this cottage for two weeks in January. We loved it! The location was central to all that we had planned to do, and the comfortable home was immaculate with an updated, highly workable kitchen. David was easily available if we needed help and was friendly and most helpful. We are definitely recommending this property to our friends.

  • The house was spotless when we arrived. Excellent amenities, great kitchen with all cooking and dining needs, lots of clean towels, great furnishings for the six adults and two children in our party. The owners were easy to work with and clearly care about their guests. Our family had a great time!

  • A gem in the heart of San Antonio. Thank you David & Vicki for sharing your home with us. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. The house is cozy and incredibly inviting. The location of the property is fantastic. The park and zoo were our children's favorites destinations. We will definitely be returning. Thanks again!
