BMT Graduation

We had such a great week at the house! Our son graduated from BMT this week and we spent lots of time at the house letting him recoup and rest. I would highly recommend this place for the ease of getting to and from the base, the amenities it offers, and the closeness to downtown activities.

Convenient location to Lackland AFB

Host was very responsive. Had everything we needed & was very clean. The only negative was a scented plug in that was overpowering when you walked in. Once we found it, we unplugged it & turned on air cleaner on high.

Perfect for an Airforce Graduation

This house was immaculate - I think the cleanest VRBO I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in quite a few. Relaxing for the Air Force Grad and the family, a quick ride to the Base, and not too far of a drive to the Riverwalk. When I couldn't work the lock when we got there, the host was literally right there with a text to help me (probably more operator error than the lock - but there's an actual key also so it was fine). Simple and cute - highly recommend if you are here for a graduation.

Air force graduation visit

This house was perfect for an Air Force graduation visit…we brought our Air man for a few hours before dinner so he could relax and feel a little bit of home. The house was very clean and comfortable. And communication with the property manager was very helpful. I highly recommend it!!!

Perfect place

We stayed here for my daughter’s BMT graduation. Close to the base, it was great to be able to come back to the house and relax with her and other family that was in town to celebrate her. Very clean, great neighbors and our little kids loved the backyard. Definitely recommend.

Perfect For Us

Son graduated from the Air Force. Perfect distance, perfect set up for my family. Very clean everything you need if you were to cook there. We ended up eating out because we were on a time crunch. But, absolutely everything you could want or need.
