The location was convenient, but there was mechanical noise from adjacent properties. We got used to it. The property was well maintained and we loved the pool. It was the main reason to select this listing. I only wished for a comfy place to read with a good light. My husband and I plan to return in 2023..
Great location to Riverwalk, Pearl, shopping, and resturants. The place was as described but it is not very comfortable for 4 adults let alone 5 as indicated The Murphy bed is a full and the couch was small and low to the ground. There is no place for 4 people to watch tv without pulling down the Murphy bed. Only had 4 hangers in the house and had to go buy some. Needs kool-aid pitcher and a garbage can in bedroom . Place better suited for 2 adults and 2 children or 3 adults. Not enough towels and washcloths for 4 people.

Hi Jacky- We are happy to hear that the house was as described. Our best features are location, privacy, cleanliness, style, and of course our private pool and yard. The Broadway Casita is a casita-- meaning small house. And, it is just that-- a small one bedroom house. It is best suited for a small family or 2 couples as there are only two beds and one bedroom as described. 5 people is actually the maximum we allow to stay not the amount we recommend. Towels and supplies in the house are provided for up to 5 people. Our entire home is 880 sq ft (also as described) so it would be difficult to fit more than a murphy bed and a couch in the living area. There are two trash cans outside, two more outside the gate, one in the kitchen and another in the bathroom. There is not a trash can in the bedroom as most guests do not want garbage in their bedroom. As far as the Kool-Aid pitcher goes, we provide a pitcher which I'm sure you could use for Kool-Aid. If we get another Kool-Aid complaint perhaps we will consider designating an official Kool-Aid pitcher at that time. Thank you for the unique suggestion! ;) In the future, we would recommend that you splurge a little more to stay in a larger home with multiple bedrooms as that is something we can't and don't want to change about our cute little place. Thanks again for being our guest!

I regret this booking
The pool isn’t as “private” as described. There are apartment buildings close by that can see right down into the backyard. I wasn’t very comfortable with the neighborhood and would definitely not walk ANYWHERE around there.
The lighting in the bathroom is very bad. I had to go outside to do my make up. We we’re going to stay here for our anniversary because our dinner reservations were close by. We also wanted to use the pool but didn’t because anyone in the apartment complex could look down at us we did not.
The host needs to update their description of this property because it is not accurate at all, and very deceiving. I would not recommend staying here. I was also worried about my car being stolen, which is another reason why we left and did not stay.
I’m very disappointed with this experience. I think VRBO needs to do a little fact checking on the properties they allow on their site or at least offer, refunds or discounts when a host lies about their property. Thanks

We apologize if the pool's privacy did not meet your expectations. When we describe it as "private," we mean it is exclusively for our guests' use and surrounded by a 6 ft privacy fence.- as required by law for all pools. It is not shared with anyone and can only be used and accessed by guests. To say it is not private is 100% inaccurate. While there are apartment complexes at the ends of our street, our neighbors are all other single family residences. The pool area is designed to provide a secure, private and exclusive space.
Our property is located in the middle of San Antonio in zip code 78209. Our neighborhood is safe, walkable and close to the City's best sites, museums, and the University of the Incarnate Word. We provide a carport w/off strret covered parking for up to two cars.
We appreciate your insights, and wish you the best in your future travels.
Perfect house for our Grands trip with our 3 grandkids. Was the perfect size and location for us.
There were so many little touches that made this place perfect for our vacation. We loved the pool and the lights outside so we could enjoy the outdoors once it wasn’t 100 degrees outside. The inside was comfy and perfect for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids! Will definitely stay there again if ever we find ourselves in San Antonio again.

It was okay. All outside area was dirty from pool to furniture pool light popped out in pool while swimming on its on and she blamed me. Place was not ready at check in they were still cleaning house but nothing else. I wouldn’t visit again. Only good thing was the house and space
Was a nice few days for a getaway. Owner was great and took care of a few items that was not there. Clean and comfortable. Swimming in the pool was really nice. We enjoyed the artificial grass. Everything was close by with attractions to go see. Overall will definitely come back and stay. By the way bring spray for mosquitoes. They get pretty righteous out there.
Our family stayed here for a few nights before we moved away from San Antonio. The location was great and easy to access some of our favorite restaurants, and the pool was perfect for cooling off at the end of the day. My only complaints were the broken ice maker (ice cube trays would have helped) and lack of dish scrubber/dish drying rack (there's no dishwasher). Other than that, everything was perfect!
We stayed many rentals with pool, this is the best pool. Perfect size and deep enough for my husbands did his early morning one hour lap. Thanks for floating rings, great for my granddaughters. Great locations to many attractions!
I really enjoyed this property and chose it for the pristine backyard. Unfortunately it rained on our stay and we didn't get to enjoy the pool but the location was great and the place very homey.
We had a great time and enjoyed the house. We managed to use the pool one time... but since it is not temperature controlled, it was short. It's probably a lot better in the summer! The master bed is extremely comfortable. The place was very clean. I really wished the front door had a curtain or covering. It is really bright in the morning in the living room for those sleeping on the murphy bed. Plus, it would feel safer without having solid glass. The shower pressure is not great.. but it was a nice clean bathroom and the flooring was cute! Thanks for your hospitality. It was a great location for sure!
Great little place that was available on very short notice, after our last reservation was suddenly canceled by the owner... owner made check in very easy, house was great and the pool was an added bonus. Thanks for everything!!
It was great to spend some time at a private pool. Thank you!

Great location
1. Upon arrival the towels in the bathroom were still wet.
2. We couldn’t find any extra pillows.
3. The Murphy bed comforter looked like it had seen better days. We wished that the pillows had pillowcases on them instead of shams.
4. The light in the pool was either burnt out or just wouldn’t work.
5. The light above the Stove was out.
6.The bedroom light was horrible to deal with. That switch is too complicated.
However, we loved the location of the house and thoroughly enjoyed the pool! We loved how private it felt and we had a great weekend.
The house was comfortable and clean, and area by the pool was so peaceful you hardly knew we were just minutes away from downtown. Highly recommend and look forward to staying there again.
Thought there were three spectate rooms verses one room and a pull out bed it did not accommodate sl
Had fun with the pool as far as the kids but when it came to go to bed the sleeping arrangements was not accurate

Hi Latoi- We are happy you enjoyed your stay and the pool! We apologize if you were confused, but our house and the sleeping arrangements are exactly as described. The Broadway Casita is a 1 Bedroom 1 bath with a queen bed in the bedroom and a full sized murphy bed in the common area. Thank you for being our guest either way!
