  After searching forever for a reasonable Hotel deal, this web site came up and I am telling you this was IDEAL!!! We were able to bring our son home from BMT graduation to a warm home, bake cookies, make him a home cooked meal and let him relax before headed on to his next destination. It also allowed his grandparents to arrive by bus and others by car all to join us with plenty of space and comfort. We were so pleased that everything we needed to see was also only a short car ride away and stores for supplies just right down the road. It was truly a home away from home that was also fully stocked with necessities, clean, modern, inviting and in the end, cheaper than any Hotel. Also a great neighborhood to walk in the early morning. P.S. Our son was so relaxed that he even proposed to his girlfriend this weekend! Thank you!!!!

  Owner response: Kristine, Thank you for being our first review for the new 2013 year. I have read your review a few times now and a few more times to members in my family, including our Retired Air Force Father. His Air Force Career started our in a similar way. Thank you for sharing very personal information about your son. You are the first family to inform us of an actual engagement taking place after A BMT Graduation. I'm sure there have been several others, but we are very pleased that our home offered you and your family a home atmosphere to give you these great and unforgettable memories. I hope your son and his future wife come back some day to visit in the future, to see where it all began. Thank you very much for sharing what our home has to offer. Marcelino

  We (me, husband, daughter, grandma & grandpa) stayed for our son's BMT Graduation this week. This was the BEST idea we have EVER had!!! After a 3 day drive to get here, we were so pleased to come inside and feel "at home"! Very clean and comfortable! On Friday we brought our son back and cooked his favorite meal. We all fit around the table and had a GREAT visit! If we had stayed in a Hotel, we would have been sitting on the edge of the beds, trying to all fit in one room. My son had an Airman in his Flight that also rented a home from you. They were the envy of their dorm when they explained what they ate and did! Thanks! Your directions and instructions were perfect and it was easy to get to everywhere!

  Owner response: Thank you for the great home review concerning your choice to stay with us and providing the great details our home has to offer along with the surrounding area. I'm glad our home provided you all the comforts of home. Our home tends to be over looked due to the 15 miles to Lackland AFB, however its location for you and your family to enjoy without driving all over San Antonio once your Airman was at home with you, seems to be the best part of your stay with us. Having three vacation homes to offer, this is the first we have had families of two Airman in the same flight class to occupy two of our homes at the same time. Thank you again for the great comments to share with others.

  Wonderful place to stay for Air Force BMT Graduation. The home has everything you need for a "home away from home". It was great to be able to BBQ and give our son the home cooked meal he wanted, and have a place that he could unwind and relax with family and friends. The home was very well maintained, and very comfortable. Shopping is close by as well as Lackland AFB. Thanks again for sharing your home with us. Walt and Tami T.

  We loved staying here! We were in town (Nov 2011) for our son's graduation from USAF basic training (BMT) with 4 grandparents, his sister and 2 friends... It was wonderful to have a home where we could meet, eat together and share our long weekend. Our new airman especially appreciated having a place to go and hang out and relax away from the crowd. I can't imagine trying to do this with 3 or 4 hotel rooms! Personally I was surprised and delighted to find that we even had wireless internet access - we had other family members anxious for pictures and also business email to monitor. We also appreciated having so many of the "extras" provided - coffee, filters, salt, sugar, soaps etc - those things that you 'must have' but only in a small amount. Overall, this was a great place and Marcelino pretty much thought of everything!!! Thanks in part to the excellant accomodations, our weekend was nothing short of wonderful. As for "location", the home is very easy to find in SE San Antonio and in a nice neighborhood with a park nearby. Also it was an easy drive of just under 20 minutes to the Valley High gate (best for the graduation events) taking the loop - traffic was never an issue and the roads are clearly marked. It was super simple getting to and from Lackland. Thanks Marcelino for providing such a fantastic service! It's looking like we may be back for another BMT graduation next year and will definately stay here again if at all possible!

  Owner response: Brenda, Thank very much you for the 5 star view. We Appreciate that you chose to spend your stay with us and that our home provided you and your family a Home Away from Home Environment with many little "extra's" that we provide and are included with your reservation. We have over 25 years in Customer Service Experience and I Manage all three of our vacation homes and perform multiple inspections to insure that our homes provide Excellent Accommodations and a Relaxing stay. Thank you for mentioning that our home is not as far away from Lackland AFB as it seems to be and an easy drive under 20 minutes. This is a new neighborhood with all new restaurants, grocery and retail stores just 2 miles from the home with no need to spend too much time driving around for a place to eat and gather and allowing more time to return home and spend quality family time. Thank you again and we sincerely hope to hear from you soon on your next visit to San Antonio. Marcelino

  Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!! From the first contact we had , the entire process was so easy. The home was such a wonderful place to use as our "home base" during our son's BMT graduation. The layout and furnishings we "top notch". Thanks so much for providing the "basics" - paper goods, coffee, seasonings, soaps, etc. It was nice to have these already there and not have to worry about purchasing things we would only use a tiny bit of. The home itself is beautiful and spacious. The pictures do not do it justice. We had plenty of room to spread out so we could visit. Things were spotless!!! We will definitely be back!!!

  Owner response: Thank you very much for the five star review. All that we provide is from previous experience from our own vacations and we even get input from our kids. We want to provide a home away from home experience for everyone that stays with us. Our kids ensure that other kids will enjoy our homes and surroundings for all three of our vacation homes with their input. The majority of our phone converstations at the end of some of our vacations stay, all inform us that their kids enjoyed their vacations that much more from walking in the front door to driving out of the driveway on the way back home. This is a great way for families to get together and share great memories. All thee of our homes provide very spacious living rooms for all to sit around and watch TV or just talk. Thank you again and we hope to see you again very soon.

• BMT Grad Perfect for Airman Town Pass

  BMT Grad Perfect for Airman Town Pass

  "Wow" was the first word I said as we pulled into the drive. The house looks amazing, outside and in, from every angle. Walking inside I was instantly filled with ease, a feeling of relaxation hit me suddenly. It literally felt like i was at home; full furniture, TV's, lovely interior, decor setup/design, supplies, full kitchen and bathrooms ready to use. As a freshly graduated airman this has been the most perfect escape from BMT, as well as the best way to spend my town pass with my whole family. Thanks to the Borrego's and their vacation home we stayed in, the kick-start of my Air Force career will definitely be a moment I'll never forget! I highly recommend this vacation home for any Air Force family celebrating their Airman! Whoya Air Force!

  Owner response: Wow is definitely coming from us. I would like to thank you for being our very first BMT Graduate Airman to write us a 5 star review. I also want to thank you for the personal text messages you and your mother sent me when arriving in our home. Your mother was a little worried during the whole reservation process, but I was happy to read her text message when she arrived in our home, she texted, "We love it, Love it so much! I'm glad we were able to convince your mother that the experience in staying in our home would surpass any hotel. We appreciate the experience that you have shared for others to read. We have had great success with all three of our vacation homes in San Antonio and receiving wonderful 5 star reviews from all homes, from mothers, fathers, grandparents, Aunts & Uncles and even little brothers and sisters, but this comment coming from an airman himself, gives us great gratitude in knowing that our past and future airman and women can spend quality time with their family in a comfortable, clean and a relaxing time in our homes. Many thanks to you, Marcelino.

  Feb 2-6, 2011: Thank you so much for having such a great house! The moment we stepped inside we knew we made the right decision to rent (this is our first house rental too)! Everything was very professional with clear instructions (thank you for the email directions to the Air Force base). We were here for the Artic Blast of 2011 and we got "trapped" in the house waiting to pick up our airman, much later then we tought (base closed). We were very grateful for the extra room to spread out and the kitchen. We were much more comfortable here than we would have been in a hotel. It didn't take long for everything to melt and the moment they opened up the highways, we got our airman and brought him back to our new "Home Away From Home". The Heaton's, Beaufort, SC.
