Enjoy our beautiful and cozy three bedroom - two bath home in a quiet neighborhood, with incredibly easy access to anywhere you want to go. Five minutes from the airport, loop 410, Hwy 281. Its not even loud.
This home is ideal for families, with children, a friends get away, and for honeymooners. The neighborhood is beautiful, and the weather is always interesting. However it is always pleasent. The neighborhood is safe, hardly a place reported for break-ins or even other related disturbances.
Local Shopping: This home is located behind a well maintained stip mall that has restaurants, best buy, and many other essentials. The home is not the quiet East side of the mall, and allows for an easy walk. The North Star mall is also right down the street, a great General Growth property and a premier shopping center.
Missions/History:Quick and easy drive to the 10-13 minutes to the famous historic Alamo, 15 minutes to the beautiful Mission Concepción, and 15-20 minutes from the well known San José Mission. These are just a fresh breath of the many historic establishments in San Antonio, and your easy accessability from our locaion.
Local Attractions: River-walk,(10-15 minutes), (15-20 minutes) SeaWorld, Six Flags-Fiesta Texas, Schlitterbahn, Hill Country, Lackland AFB, Austin and lots more (especially shopping).
Local Restaurants: There are many restaurants, the texas famous taco cabana, down the street, as well as many privately owned rare and special establishments.
Feel like you're at home when you return from a long day of exploring and melt into the recliners. Feel like you're also at home if you just want to spend the day reading or walking without any of the distractions of your "other" home!
Bedding Situation: Two bedrooms with queen beds, one bedroom with two twin beds.

Our family stayed here during the BMT graduation weekend of my daughter. It was very convenient. The home is very well maintained. It was perfect for us and our family members. It was a great gathering place for everyone. Our daughter loved the fact that she could come to a home and get in her 'jammies' and eat and play Yahtzee! It is very close to the airport, without all the noise! It is very close to the mall, which my sister loved! We loved every minute of the stay. Thank you Ryan and Virginia!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.

I went there for a family gathering. The home looked great when I arrived. I traveled with my family, with 2 kids, and my sisters family with one child. The home is perfect size for 7-9 people. It is setup perfectly, 2 bathrooms, nice large backyard, and you can get anywhere in town. It was only 5 minutes from the airport. The person in Tucson was especially helpful in getting accomidations for me, and working with our budget. Would recommend to anyone!!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

We recently stayed in this home during the 5 days we were in San Antonio to attend our son's graduation from AF BMT. We were very pleased with the accomodations (everything we needed except for a hair dryer) and the location (very close to the airport and only a short drive to Lackland) was perfect. Lots of restaurants and shopping close by and a nice quiet neighborhood. It was a GREAT option for us since our son really just wanted to hang out & visit with family while we were there. Easy access to the freeway and the location would have made visits to area attractions very easy and quick if he had wanted to do that. Our party was quite large: Mom, Dad, Brother, Brother's Girlfriend, Sister, Grandma and Grandma's Friend...and our Airman during the day. We even had Uncle, Aunt and Cousin and Grandma's Friend's Husband visit during the day and we didn't feel cramped with the living room,large front room and yard (it has been very dry in the area and the grass wasn't as lush as the pitures depict, but that is certainly understandable and the covered porch out back made for comfortable relaxing even in the San Antonio heat). 3 bedrooms and 2 baths was plenty of space for us all to sleep comfortably and get ready for our visits. Access to the washer & dryer was great too. Plenty of parking for us and visitors as well. Ryan and Virginia were both great to work with and their flexibility was really appreciated. I would not hesitate one second to recommend this place and am already looking forward to an excuse to visit San Antonio and stay in Contessa again sometime very soon!Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.

I recently just stayed at this property. The location is excellent right next to the airport with minimal noise. The property is well maintaied, setup perfectly for a rental home. We stayed at this location for 10 days, the property and home is more than sufficient for the money spent. The site manager as well as the person in Arizona you deal with is kind and genuine. The home is located about 15-20 minutes from everything you want to visit in San Antonio, TX. Should I visit again I will definately come back here. Thanks soo much!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

It was the first time we tried a rental home and now I would not do it in any other way, it definitely beats renting rooms at hotels when travelling with a large family. This place is truly in a convenient spot, very close to the airport, highways, walmart supercenter and the mall (which has a cheesecake factory..mmm). The property was clean and the pictures accurately portray the place. As the other reviewer said, it is a very quiet neighbourhood apart from the noise of trucks loading (as the backyard faces the back of a plaza). I would definitely recommend this place. Oh and yeah.. if you are tourist and feel like staying in for a movie, use the $1 dvd rentals at redbox found in convenience/walmart stores. Also you can get a passport-coupon book for free (using s.a.v.e pamphlet in tourist info places) which you can use at the mall. Great for ladies - further discounts on shopping and free "makeovers" for special evenings.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.

1) We enjoyed our stay there. The city is great and the home was as advertised. It was well furnished and comfortable. 2) The location is much better than we had anticipated. It's easy to get everywhere from there and the freeway addess is great. We were able to get to Riverwalk, Alamo, Tower of Americas, San Jose Mission, Sea World, Natural Bridge Caverns, etc. with ease. 3) Although there was a little mixup in setting up our arrival, I was able to contact your agent when we got to our stop in Salt Lake City. He said she was at her other job and had already left the keys under the front mat. That was fine with us and we were able to check everything out on our own. My cell phone had been off, and I didn't notice the voicemail message from your dad until we were already settled in. I probably should have called him back - sorry. 4) The neighborhood was very nice and quiet. Despite the proximity to the airport, the related noise was not much at all. If there was any noise, it was usually from the trucks unloading at the back of the shopping mall beyond the back yard. Overall, for the price you gave us, we have no complaints. We certainly got our money's worth. Speaking of that, I noticed on my credit card statement that you refunded $50. I don't remember what that was to be for. If we decide to visit San Antonio in the future, we will certainly consider your house.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My family truly enjoyed our experience in this rental. The house itself was older and the flavor of that was maintained in the decor and original features. Everything was as advertised and the photos were accurate. One unexpected pleasure was the back deck and yard. It made our stay more relaxing. We were in San Antonio to experience our son's graduation from military basic training at Lackland AFB and even though it took about 20 minutes, the trip was a straight and easy shoot down the freeway. I would recommend this rental to any friends or relative.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: I currently live in Tucson, AZ, and I am a General Manager / Managing Partner for a landscaping company here in town. Prior I was in the metrology business as a Business Manager. For many years before Tucson, I worked for a hotel company which required the ability to create a suitable homestead or living quarters for people of all backgrounds and needs and work a system that best fit their desires and budgets. This has been a big motivation for me working the the Vacation Owner Business, and this home has been a great success.
Why the Owner Chose San Antonio:
San Antonio has soo much to offer, from the Alamo, to Six Flags, to the Universities and Military Posts and Forts. The reasons are overwhelming to point out one particular reason why San Antonio is great.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
This property is located right next to the airport, opposite to the traffic pattern (less noise). Minutes from the North Star Mall, and 15 minutes from down town, it creates the perfect place for couples and families because the neighborhood is clean, neighbors are friendly and the property has a great backyard. There is a park down the street w/ play equipment and soccer fields.
