Everyone's favorite room in the house. The sunroom. In 1907 when the house was completed this was an outdoor patio. Now it is our bright and sunny (and air conditioned) sunroom.

Thank you for staying at Brack House. It is a fabulous historical property near fabulous walkable restaurants and to the Pearl. If you didn't get a chance to see The Japanese Tea Gardens (less than 1 mile away) while you were here, you must come back again. We would be happy to host your group again.

Family Galentine Weekend…This home was perfect for our family of 4 adults (cousins, sisters, so all separate rooms) and a child plus a local family day-visiting. The home is very comfortable for group, offering many indoor conversation areas. We especially enjoyed a night eating dinner under the lights in the backyard. It was Feb, so the cowboy pool wasn’t on and we didn’t use the hot tub, but perfect for outdoor dining. Things that I care about in a rental that this house has: Home: comfortable conversation areas nice bedding water pressure (showers) clean! Seriously, probably one of the cleanest rental houses that I’ve ever rented. easy parking (which we didn’t need, so we use that area as a safe place for the children to ride their scooters that we brought)Host: great communication easy access to check in very easy checkout procedures Location: -on bus route (actually 3 nearby routes) that takes you straight downtown-beautiful Monte Vista, picturesque homes-Walking distance to coffee, Italian, Texmex, Mexican fine dining, st Mary’s strip (burgers, clubs, -central location: 1.1 mi to The Pearl, 1mi to Landa Library, 2mi to zoo, Witte, brackenridge Park, 1mi to San Pedro Springs.

Thank you so much for choosing The Brack House for your Galentine weekend — we absolutely love hosting sister and cousin getaways! I’m thrilled the layout worked so well for everyone and that you were able to enjoy dinner under the backyard lights. Those evenings in Monte Vista really are something special. It means a lot that you noticed the cleanliness, bedding comfort, water pressure, and conversation spaces — we work hard to make the home feel welcoming and truly comfortable for groups. And I love that the parking area turned into a scooter zone for the kids! The central location is one of our favorite features too — so close to The Pearl, Brackenridge Park, and so many great restaurants within walking distance. We would love to host your next family weekend anytime!

We rented the house for a girls' reunion weekend and comfortably slept 11 adults. The house was great - super clean, great kitchen, lots of seating and catching up areas to lounge. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of bathrooms. The communication with the owners was excellent. Location was perfect if you are needing to be close to Trinity or UIW. Also close access to Downtown. We would definitely rent again.

Perfect extended family gathering spot!

We loved this house and we loved the host! Extended family met up and stayed here and the house was adorable and great for our group, including a pack and play for a toddler. We loved that there was a huge dining table everyone could fit at. Debby went above and beyond to get the small pool ready for us, and gave us some good recommendations for things nearby. I really can’t say enough good things about the house and our experience!

Clean, Roomy, Great Kitchen, Pretty, Helpful Host

The home was immaculately clean. There were many different spaces to spread out and either read alone or play games together. The kitchen was well appointed from the nice appliances to good pots and pans. We cooked a lot and always had what we needed. The pool is small but was fun as was the jacuzzi. We used the fire pit almost every night for lovely ambiance. The home was beautifully furnished and the Host even had Fiesta Decor to greet us since we stayed during Fiesta Week (the last 2 weeks in April each year). Deby & Lance, the owners, were very helpful with a couple small issues that arose while we were there. Deby was especially helpful before our stay with recommendations on the best Fiesta Events and restaurants we could go to with our small children. La Fonta's was a short walk from the house that even our 1 and 4 year olds enjoyed. We went across the street to "Extra Fine" almost each morning for coffee and breakfast fare. We walked to Lily's cookies for delicious, frosted homemade type cookies. And while there went next door to Barbaros Pizza for the best cauliflower dough pizza I have ever had! It was a great week at this lovely home!

Fantastic Birthday Weekend

This home was perfect for our gathering of 11 friends and family for a birthday celebration. The host could not have been more accommodating and communication was always fast & easy. The house was spacious, with lots of separate seating areas so we never felt we needed to be in the same space all the time. It was tastefully decorated and had all of the amenities we could need from shampoo in the showers to every type of drinkware, pots, pans, towels, etc. Our guests loved the modern updates as well as the vintage charm. The bedrooms were large and the upstairs loft area was a hit with our younger set. There is ONE bedroom that had a trundle-type bed, which would have been awkward had we needed it because you have to cross it to get to a bathroom and the very back bedroom. We ended up not using it so that worked out. There's a cute little coffee shop/cafe right across the street and a restaurant with little shops around the corner. It was close enough to the Riverwalk that my oldest daughter was able to get to there on a rented street scooter. We will DEFINITELY use this host/listing again!

Kimberly, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. I didn't realize anyone had scootered from the house to the Pearl. It is an easy ride. Please come again. I am glad you explained the "passthrough space" in your review. It is mentioned in the listing that it is a passthrough space, but I do fear many don't see that. This should help.

Charming and elegant home in the best part of town!

Wow - Debby is truly the ultimate VRBO host! We live in the neighborhood and booked this house for our out of town family during Christmas. We ended up cooking and hosting our holiday meals here instead of our own home because of the amazing kitchen/dining/living area. We comfortably cooked and dined with 16 adults and 7 young children. The bedroom situation is amazing for an extended family set up or for couples, as there are four kind bedrooms! We look for this in vacation rentals all the time and it’s very hard to find. It’s so nice for each family to have their own room. Plus, there are smaller bed options for the kids - a twin with a trundle and the smaller bed(s) in the upstairs room. Two of the downstairs king bedrooms share a bathroom, but it is nice and big and so charming. Three bathrooms total made the sharing a non-issue. This is truly a well-appointed rental, and you can tell that Debby puts much thought and care into the details of this charming home. Sometimes you can tell when properties are simply vacation rentals versus when the owner wants it to feel like a true home. In this case, it really feels like Debby has made her beloved home available to you. Additionally, she’s quick to respond and extremely hospitable. Check-in was a breeze and everything was extremely easy to find and the house was easy to navigate once we were there. As far as location, we may be biased as locals who live in the same neighborhood, but you can’t beat the IYKYK vibes of this neighborhood. Right across the street, an amazing bakery/cafe/coffee shop. Around the corner, a cocktail bar with our favorite pizzas. And then just a short 10 minute walk east on Mistletoe and you are among the best restaurants, bars, and most fun places in San Antonio - both of Cullum’s spots (Attaboy and Attagirl), NOLA, Singh’s Vietnamese, Curry Boys, Little Death wine bar…you get the idea. If you want to experience the less touristy version of San Antonio while still being a hop away from downtown & Pearl - this is your spot!

About the host

Hosted by Debby Villers

Host profile image
I am a happily married high school math teacher and short term property manager. My husband and I live in downtown San Antonio and have been here for over 30 years. We are excited to show off our city to the many visitors that come to the area each year. We know the best restaurants, coffee houses and parking spaces! We are happy to help with making your stay extraordinary.

Why they chose this property

Why this property? You will not be asking that within seconds of entering this unique property. It is museum quality. We call the house "The Brack House" because they were the original builders in 1905. It was designed by James Walker Flood, well known designer that also designed the famous Saint Anthony Hotel here in SA. At the time of completion (1907) this house was the most expensive house, to date, in the country (price/sq. inch).
Please enjoy becoming part of the history of "The Brack House".

What makes this property unique

This house is in the perfect location. Walk to some of the best restaurant this town has to offer. It is near EVERYTHING, downtown, The Pearl, the airport, Fiesta Texas and 20 minutes from Seaworld. Museums and the Alamo within 3 miles.
