The house was great! Clean and spacious for three of us. Wonderful location and the host was very communicative. Highly recommended and we plan to stay there for future visits!
We enjoyed our stay, this is a nice quiet street and a comfy house and decor. Great location for folks traveling to Texas St. or anything else in the area. Michael was very responsive to our questions and we would stay here again.
The house was really nice and located in a nice neighborhood. The house was clean and provided everything we needed as well very spacious. Would definitely get again if I go back for another trip.

Thank you for the thoughtful review, Gabriel. We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the home and found it clean, spacious, and well-equipped. It’s great to know the neighborhood added to your experience, too. Looking forward to hosting you again in the future!
This place is even more beautiful than the pictures! The location was perfect and the owner was so amazing to work with on our stay! We will definitely be staying here again when we’re back in town! Thank you for an awesome experience!
We came to San Marcus for a shopping trip after a convention in San Antonio. We had a grat time together staying at this property! It had everything we needed! Very spacious and not crowded! Property manager was very accessible.
What a fabulous home in a nice quiet neighborhood. We picked this home to have a gathering place for family for my Daughter's graduation from Texas State. It did not disappoint. It was large enough to hang out together in the evenings and to cook and have dinner together. The backyard was so cute and we were looking forward to enjoying the patio but the weather didn't cooperate. The host Michael was very quick to respond to any messages and checked in with me to make sure our stay was going great. If you are looking for a nice clean home in a great little neighborhood look no further.

Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because I could really see myself enjoying life here. Whether it is waking up on a nice Saturday morning and going for a walk.
Or having friends and family over for a cook out.
I love seeing all the deer, the beautiful homes, nice neighbors, and enjoying a fun but peaceful day at home.
