Home in SA's Historic Monte Vista - Pearl, Trinity/UIW, Riverwalk/Alamo
Just north of downtown San Antonio, in the Monte Vista Historic District, Grand Arbor is a fully-renovated 125 year old home. Completed in 2026, the house is blocks from Trinity University, UIW, as well as Brackenridge and San Pedro parks. 12 mins to Frost Bank Center Walk to nearby restaurants, and enjoy short rides to the Pearl and downtown, both just over a mile away. Two miles to I-10, and one mile to 281, Grand Arbor provides easy access to the airport, shopping & entertainment.
Originally constructed in 1900, this French-style cottage was extensively renovated in 2025 & is now a neighborhood standout. The home offers new vaulted ceilings in the living and 'parlor' spaces, and coffered ceilings in the dining room. The kitchen is equipped with high-end Monogram/GE appliances including a gas stove, microwave, and dishwasher. Dishes, utensils and cookware fill the cabinets. The deep, farm-styled sink makes clean up quick and easy. In addition to being fully sound and weather insulated, the new central air & heat was installed last fall.
The two bedrooms provide space for four. The primary bedroom with king-sized bed and spacious bathroom has a smart tv, luggage stand, variable speed fan, charging station and alarm clock. A walk in shower and soaking tub enhance the beautifully tiled bathroom. Four large windows allow light to fill the spacious feel of the primary bath and bedroom.
The second bedroom has a bay window, queen bed, dresser, chandelier, luggage stand, charging station and alarm clock.
Other notable amenities include antique furniture, beautiful chandeliers, can lights with dimmer switches, wi-fi, alarm system, security cameras, keyless (coded) entry, washer/dryer, hair dryer, toaster, single serve coffee machine (pods), coffees/teas, creamer, iron with ironing board, on-demand water heater, and large windows throughout. An off-street, front driveway and a large, gravel backyard space are available for parking.
The beautiful oak tree has been estimated to be over 300 years old and provides lots of shade while enjoying the backyard. Don't forget happy hour or a late night pizza and a cocktail from the beautiful bar across the street -at ever so popular Barbaro; and Lilly's Cookies is right next door. Our neighborhood is known for being walk-able and has countless other restaurants and businesses nearby. A nice stroll through the Monte Vista section of San Antonio will take you past homes and mansions constructed for cattle and oil barons dating back to the late 1800's.
The entire house is yours to enjoy. For your safety we provide an alarm system and security cameras at each door.

This place was AMAZING! It was clean, modern, and beautiful! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had new appliances, and the neighborhood felt safe. The communication with the owner was great, too! My mom and I had a wonderful experience! We'll definitely return here when we visit San Antonio again.

Thanks Heather, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. You all are welcome back anytime!
Such a very warm and inviting property! The home is clean and beautifully decorated. There is a driveway available for parking. The owner was communicative and easily accessible for questions and recommendations for nearby areas to explore. We would certainly stay here again.
This was not only "one of the best" places we have ever rented, I could argue it IS the best ever.Anthony was great, house was great - the is nothing negative I could say about this house.

Matthew was a wonderful guest! He was very polite prior to and throughout his stay. He communicated well and left the house in great shape! He is welcome to stay anytime!
This is a special place. The home is decorated beautifully, with a wonderful kitchen and relaxing comfort in every room. The shower is great and there’s a lovely tub in the primary bathroom. Very comfortable bed as well. Extremely easy move in and out with parking in the driveway. The host is friendly and very responsive. The location couldn’t be any better. We will definitely stay here again when we visit San Antonio.

One of those places you don’t want to hype too much because you want it all to yourself. This home is everything advertised and more. Location for Trinity events can’t be beat. Completely remodeled as of this writing 5/26. 150’ from one of SA’s best pizza joints. Open, spacious, beautiful light, quiet, and oh Man, that oak tree, shading a gorgeous sunken rock garden, with tasteful statuary is divine. When the host, who is absolutely awesome btw gets some seating out there - cut em slack you can tell they have been working their butts off on the place - it’ll be perfect. Until then, just pack some folding chairs! We took our 91 year old mom to see her grandson snag a Master’s degree. We felt safe, comfortable, and pampered, with a present and concerned host. What more could you want?
This house was perfect for our weekend trip to SA. Plenty of parking tons of updates and amenities, in addition to a ton of close restaurants for everyone to enjoy. We will definitely use them again. Thanks for everything!
Absolutely loved our stay! The pictures truly don’t do this place justice - it’s even cuter in person. The home was charming, cozy, and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was wonderful too - quiet, safe, and in a great location. We would definitely stay here again!!
