Home away from home!

This property was so lovely. The art, the color, and the feel were better than the pictures on Vrbo. Ashley has every detail covered to make this place feel like a home away from home. She was very responsive to any questions I had and incredibly helpful with suggestions, both via the Vrbo app and the binder that was in the kitchen. We are already talking about another trip to San Antonio and we would absolutely stay in this place again. Honestly this has been my best experience with a Vrbo rental and host. Thank you Ashley for a wonderful experience.

Just Perfect

Our family of 5 was celebrating a college graduation and visiting San Antonio for the first time. The house provided a perfect home base for us as we enjoyed San Antonio. It’s an easy walk to the Riverwalk, great restaurants and bars. A local restaurant/bakery “Blush” which is right down the street has a wonderful bakery and delicious brunch. We enjoyed hanging out at the pool and inside playing games and working on a puzzle. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to San Antonio!

Spring Break

The house was fantastic! It was well stocked and the extra touches (snacks, drinks) were appreciated. There was an issue with the hose in the backyard, which was promptly managed by the owner with easy communication. My teens loved the hot tub (weather was too cold to use the pool much). Just blocks from some great restaurants. Definitely would rent this house again if we are back in San Antonio!

Great place, great location

We were in town for a conference, and the property was an easy 10 to 15 minute walk to the venue. Lots of great little shops and restaurants and bars within a short walk. Short walk to the Riverwalk. Place was stocked with everything you could possibly need.

Holiday Haven

From the minute we walked in, this felt like home away from home. Everything from the delicious treats awaiting us to the informative binder providing us with San Antonio tips allowed us to have a fantastic vacation. The backyard hot tub helped us enjoy our time when not exploring nearby sites. Record player was an especially fun blast-from-the-past. was This was our first Vrbo experience and Ashley made sure that nothing was missing: beautiful home, excellent location, and clear communication. Highly recommended.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!

This property was worth every dollar. The location is perfect and the house is even better. The owner has literally thought of everything. The house comes with any all items you need while staying away from home. The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful and just a few blocks from so much of what downtown San Antonio has to offer. It was the little details of this place that made this experience perfect. My family and I truly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back. First class all around!

A++++++

This property was definitely one of the best I have stayed in using VRBO. Ashley was a delight to work with from the very beginning. The house was extremely clean, good beds, good sheets, pillows and towels. Decorated simply but nice and the attention to detail was unbelievable, she thinks of everything you would need to be more then comfortable. The pool was an extra treat, especially since it was near 100 degrees. Plenty of seating too! The location of the home is excellent too - walking distance to many attractions, good restaurants and bars. Nice quiet neighborhood, so be sure to respect her neighbors. She also provides a San Antonio guidebook which was very useful, even before we arrived in San Antonio - we had a good idea of what we wanted to do. I would highly recommend this home! She deserves a 10 star in my opinion.

We loved staying at this Southtown location! It has all the amenities you could need and the back yard space is amazing. We really enjoyed the pool and it was so nice that there was coffee, creamer and other refreshments available on our arrival. It is walking distance to several great restaurants and the Alamo.

Super clean upon arrival, excellent communication with Ashley, the host. The location was walkable to a few restaurants, the river walk, and the convention center. Beautiful view of the Tower from the hot tub & got a picture-perfect memory of it when taking a morning dip during the sunrise! Basics provided for cooking meals at home. Backyard was perfect for entertaining! Would definitely stay here again if I need to travel to San Antonio in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Veselka

I've lived in San Antonio for years. We loved living downtown and we now offer the entire home so that everyone can experience the magic that downtown San Antonio has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This historic home has so much charm. The property has several historic buildings on it and features a cocktail pool, hot tub, and outdoor shower. You will love the modern touches I have added to this property.

What makes this property unique

You will be staying at one of the CLOSEST houses to the Alamo, the Riverwalk and the amazing nightlife downtown San Antonio has to offer. If you plan on doing anything downtown, you don't need a car - you are just a few short, flat blocks away from EVERYTHING. You can walk everywhere.

At night, the neighborhood is quiet, friendly and safe. This is THE best neighborhood in San Antonio. The property has a RARE downtown pool, you will not find many of these.

My guests love my colorful, eclectic San Antonio/Fiesta design aesthetic - the home is filled with art from local artists. My guests also rave about all my special touches; from my custom Southtown guidebook to the complimentary chips & salsa, local chocolate, local beer six-pack, and sparkling waters awaiting you on check-in. You can look forward to popping open a cold beverage, picking out a record from the vinyl collection, and relaxing. Dip your feet in the pool while gazing at the Tower of the Americas. Then walk to one of the numerous noteworthy bars and restaurants mere blocks away.

I answer any questions you may have ASAP, most often within minutes. I am here to provide you a 5-star experience in a unique atmosphere convenient to the best that Southtown and San Antonio have to offer. Come stay with me. You'll want to come back, like so many of my other repeat guests.
