Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Owner Jim Smith moved to San Antonio in 2006 from Washington, DC where he spent most of his adult career as a Realtor, Home Builder, and later as a Building and Zoning Code Consultant. In the earlier years Jim spent his free time as a Special Olympics County Coordinator in Maryland (10 years) where he set up a county Special Olympics program which included five hundred Special Olympians spread around 35 schools. Later, he spent his free time as a community activist, being the President or Board or Committee Member of scores of community interest groups including his civic association, and also served on several Washington, DC Mayoral Commissions including the Building Code Advisory Board (8 years) and the Recreational Trails Commission which decided where to spend public transportation funds for recreational trails in Washington, DC (6 years).
The fast pace and hypertension of Washington, DC was too much to bear, so Jim transplanted himself to San Antonio, Texas.
In San Antonio, Jim has remodeled six properties, including his home and five other rental properties that are fully furnished. The furniture and ineriors were selected for each home by Jim and his sister, Jan, and the result is a fine rental accommodation that is reasonable in cost.
Jim's full time job is making Guests comfortable, and helping them navigate San Antonio to its many attractions and restaurants. This adventure for Jim has been anything but a progression for retirement, having 14 bathrooms, 19 bedrooms, 24 beds, six sleep sofas, six kitchens, three pools and five hot tubs keeps him totally busy all the time along with his helpers.
Why the Owner Chose San Antonio
The home is near the airport and North Star Mall, just one mile to the 281 communter freeway downtown. The neighborhood is in the demographic center of San Antonio as is the International Airport, so getting around is very fast. Also the homes are less than two blocks from retail and food locations, the commuter skip bus stop is one or two blocks away depending uon which home your staying in, convenient to get downtown on public transportation.
To Jim, San Antonio offers magical things that cannot be found quite the same anyplace else, such as the River Walk, the magnificant dining, the attractions such as the Alamo, the cultural events, the happy visitors, and the spontaneous, friendly folk of San Antonio. Even though San Antonio has a few nights of colder weather, Jim was attracted to San Antonio for its HOT weather, where for most of the year you must dress casual to survive, and where excecpt for a dozen or so nights per year does the temperature go below 30 at night.

Review Submitted: 06/24/10
My family stayed at this location while attending our Granddaughter's graduation from Lackland Air Force Base. The ride was only about 20 minutes and almost a straight shot to the base. The listing description, photos and amenities were as described by the owner. The owner (Jim) was very helpful. He went beyond his requirements to make us comfortable. I would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone. Also the property was very clean and very well maintained. Thanks Jim, you made our stay worth the long trip.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with young children, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, tourists without a car.
