Home away from home

This was a wonderful weekend getaway next door to both San Antonio and New Braunfels. Very accommodating for our trip with a toddler. Also would have been a great getaway spot for just a couple as well. Great amenities and really close to some must needs,movies, restaurants, and HEB. Splash pad in vicinity and you must check out 375 degree social kitchen.

A MUST-DO VRBO in SAN ANTONIO

Interior was smartly-decorated and very clean and comfortable. Backyard was a paradise: covered pergola + a firepit sitting area. Outstanding owner communication and one of the easiest check-in/out I've experienced in my 100+ VRBO nights. If you are nesting in San Antonio, this is a excellent nearby home that has been been flawlessly designed for your enjoyment and relaxation!

We stayed for the Thanksgiving weekend and it was a fantastic fit for our family. The fire pit was wonderful on the cool nights. The neighborhood is quiet with a grocery store right around the corner. The master was very spacious with a comfortable king bed.

12/10, would definitely recommend, and would stay again!

The house was clean and cozy, and stocked with just about everything you need for a relaxing vacation. My family of 4 stayed with our friend’s family of 3. We enjoyed our time at the house playing in the game room, sitting around the table outside, and making memories to last a lifetime.The location was perfect for us; close to San Antonio, without being in the city. We visited the natural bridge caverns, the Alamo, legoland, SeaWorld, and the San Marcus outlets. So many fun things to do nearby that we are already trying to plan our next getaway to this area!

Perfect home in Cibilo, Texas

I want to emphasize the word home versus house. I felt as if this were home. We were in this beautiful house for seven days we cooked a Thanksgiving dinner. My family is in Cibilo, but due to the fact that they have pets we weren’t able to stay with them. This was a perfect alternative. I highly recommend.

Family graduation visit

We were in town celebrating 2 different family graduations and needed a place with plenty of room and close to the interstate. Well this place was perfect, very roomy and comfortable. Neighborhood was family friendly only suggestions is there were no plates in the kitchen. So if you plan on cooking which we did you will need to go buy disposable plates. Which was odd. On first day we just used whatever we found which was bowls and Tupperware lids to eat off of. But place was as described and very comfy.

Hi, Christina! Thank you again for the review, and I am glad you guys spent quality time with the family. Regarding plates, and serving plates, we offer plenty. They are located in the furniture of the coffee bar. I am sorry you couldn't find them. However, I didn't get a message to provide the information you needed. I will make sure they are there after our next guess leave this Friday. They are good plates too (Corelle).

Cozy Charmer

Our large group of 8 (family with teenage and adult children plus several friends) enjoyed a lovely weekend getaway in this charming home. The layout worked perfectly for us. The decor was cozy and so pretty, and the attention to detail throughout met all of our needs. The outdoor space with ping pong table was particularly enjoyable. The hosts were also wonderful! Patricia made the entire rental experience easy and comfortable. Her respectful communication both before and during our stay was helpful and welcoming. We had only one minor maintenance issue, which was resolved immediately. This is a property we would not hesitate to book again. Thank you, hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Barsallo

Host profile image
Hello and welcome! We are a husband and wife duo who have called Schertz, TX (just northeast of San Antonio) home since 2003. Originally from Panama, our journey together began when we met while studying for our Masters in Engineering at Texas A&M University. Over the years, our shared love of travel has taken us to incredible places like Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Roatan, Honduras, as well as various exciting cities across the U.S.

Throughout our travels, we’ve found joy in discovering beautiful vacation homes and creating unforgettable memories with loved ones. We've also developed a passion for cooking and making the most of quality time together.

As first-time hosts, we are thrilled to offer you the same welcoming experience we’ve enjoyed on our adventures. We've put a lot of time and care into curating a space where you can feel right at home, and we can’t wait to make your stay in San Antonio and New Braunfels as enjoyable as possible!

Why they chose this property

Vacasitas Lili was created with love and purpose—named in honor of our beloved mother, mother-in-law and grandmother, Lili, who passed away at the age of 55 from melanoma. Her warmth, joy, and deep love for family continue to inspire everything we do.
Nestled in the heart of NE San Antonio, our cozy guesthouse offers a peaceful retreat where families, couples, and travelers can feel at home. Whether you're visiting nearby New Braunfels, Cibolo, or San Antonio, we hope Vacasitas Lili provides more than just a place to stay—it’s a space filled with care, comfort, and the spirit of family.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Your stay means more than you know.
Lili’s Family
