If you’re looking for more than just a place to stay, welcome to The Star House — a rare property that feels like your own private resort. This 7-bedroom, 6-bathroom home sleeps up to 18 in beds (plus 3 more on couches), making it perfect for large families, reunions, or group retreats. Designed with families in mind, it blends the comfort of home with the fun of a vacation resort.

Why Guests Love The Star House

Resort-Style Backyard – two pools, a hot tub (seasonal), pool slide, trampoline, playground, sports courts, and outdoor fireplace create endless opportunities for fun. Guests often say the kids never want to leave the backyard.

Family-Friendly Touches – from Pack ’n Plays to high chairs, the house is designed for all ages, from toddlers to grandparents.

Backyard Resort

Designed after the Texas Hill Country Hyatt, the backyard is a destination in itself:

Two Full-Size Pools (not heated)

Pool 1: 3’-5’-3’ depth variation

Pool 2: 9’ deep across

Water Fun – pool slide + dive rock

Large Spa (8-person) – open in the cooler months for cozy evenings

Playground on Soft Turf – swings (traditional, tire, and spider), slide, climbing wall, fireman pole, and a large elevated treehouse

Sunken Trampoline with safety net

Sports Galore – ½ basketball court + tetherball

Outdoor Living – fireplace, dining for large groups, grill, fridge, and lounge seating throughout

This is a backyard where memories are made — from kids splashing in the pool, to s’mores by the fireplace, to family basketball tournaments.

Parking & Privacy

Important Note: This is our primary residence. On rare occasions, part of our family may be staying in the private casita (available to rent upon request if extra space is needed) located on the side of the home. The casita has its own entrance and garage, ensuring privacy. We do not use the outdoor areas during guest stays, so you will have the entire backyard and amenities to yourselves.

The Star House is not just a rental — it’s a place where families reconnect, kids run free, and everyone can enjoy the best of San Antonio while feeling like they’re at their own private resort.

Great family vacation

Our group of 15 - 8 adults & 7 kids (ages 4-10) had a great time here! After exploring some nearby attractions, it was a great place to come back to. A lot of time was spent in the pool & backyard play area. The main kitchen & 2 adjacent dining areas worked great for the many meals we ate in. There was enough fridge & pantry space to accommodate a weeks worth of groceries for our large crew. (Costco & H‑E‑B nearby.) The kids enjoyed hide & seek & scavenger hunts throughout the house & the dress up clothes in the closet under the book nook. Our 3 girls loved the girls haven & the boys loved in the sports room. Courtney was quick responding to all of my questions to help with our planning & packing. We felt like we had our own private resort for the week.

About the host

Hosted by Trent Kimball

Host profile image
My husband and I are proud parents of nine children, and family is at the center of everything we do. Back in 2003, what began as a small sketch on a napkin grew into the dream home we’ve been blessed to live in for the past 20 years. We’ve cared for this home as if it were our tenth child, filling it with love, laughter, and countless memories. Because of our large family, we wanted to create a home that felt like a resort—where kids could play freely, friends could gather, and everyone had space to relax. That vision became The Star House.

We’re originally from Texas and love spending time outdoors, traveling together, and enjoying big family meals. What we enjoy most about hosting is opening our home to other families and watching them create their own special memories here. It’s a sacred place for us, and it brings us joy to share it with you. We simply ask that you treat it with the same care and respect that we always have.

Why they chose this property

The Star House is perfectly located in North Central San Antonio, giving you easy access to everything the city has to offer. You’ll be just minutes from restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores, as well as a short drive from amusement parks like Six Flags and SeaWorld, the famous River Walk downtown, outlet shopping in San Marcos, and several beautiful Texas lakes.

What we love most about this neighborhood is how peaceful and family-friendly it feels, while still being close to all the action. It’s the best of both worlds—quiet mornings with a view of the temple, and adventure just around the corner.

That said, many of our guests tell us their favorite memories are right here at The Star House—lazy afternoons by the pool, kids laughing on the playground, and evenings gathered around the outdoor fireplace. This home was built for family fun, and we’re thrilled to share it with you. Your stay here not only gives you a place to create lasting memories, it also helps us support our kids through college—something we’re very grateful for.

What makes this property unique

What makes The Star House unique is that it was designed from the ground up with family in mind. Unlike most vacation rentals, this isn’t just a house—it’s a home created to bring people together. With four sets of washers and dryers, three refrigerators, and plenty of beds and sleeping spaces for up to 21 guests, it’s built to comfortably handle large families and groups.

The backyard sets us apart: a sunken trampoline, elevated playground with swings and climbing wall, half-court basketball, two full-size resort-style pools, and towering oak trees that shade nearly an acre of space. Add in the outdoor fireplace, grill, and games for kids and grandkids, and you’ll quickly see why so many families say they hardly leave the property during their stay.

This home was designed to make family memories—whether that’s a big reunion, a holiday gathering, or just time away to reconnect. It couldn’t be a more family-friendly home.
