This was a great space for our family while we were in San Marcos for our daughter’s graduation. The owners provided the simplest check-in/check-out processes. It is a great location with quick access to TXST campus, the square, and nearby restaurants. We highly recommend this property.

Perfect and beautiful!!!

We have stayed in many rentals when visiting my son at Texas State and this one takes the cake! The home was so cozy with every possible amenity you could imagine. Our pups loved the yard with the awesome turf (just like home-yay!). I brought along grandma on this visit and she loved the home as well. We cooked meals, watched movies, gathered around the fire pit, and were even able to host a couple of my son's friends for a game of pool one night. Thank you, Kelly for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home. We will be back!

We had such a wonderful stay over Halloween weekend! The house was absolutely perfect for our stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the weekend. Everything was just as described, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The host was so sweet, welcoming, and made everything super easy from check-in to check-out. We made some great memories and truly enjoyed our time here. We would absolutely love to stay again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a great place to stay!
