About this property

La Casita on Simon. A quaint cottage behind our home in historic Southtown SATX

Escape to La Casita on Simon, an original turn of the century home built in one of San Antonio's oldest neighborhoods. The Casita is the original cottage build our property and is now repurposed as our guest house. It is located in our backyard. Secluded and quiet, it is a calm oasis in Southtown. We are steps from the famous River Walk and an easy stroll to some of downtown's best dining. The casita blends historic and new with 2Gbs fiber optic internet; Tesla Solar Roof; EV charging; great air conditioning; and Amazon Fire TV. Our friends and family clamor to stay in our casita when they come to visit.

Treat yourself to this unique neighborhood and all her charms.

We had a wonderful staycation at this property. The proximity is closer to La tuna and Habitat for Humanity, which allowed us easy access to all the fiesta festivities. We will definitely go back again. It was very clean, quiet, and offered all the essential amenities.

Very kind. Glad you enjoyed your stay. We are also very pleased that you got to use the Level II charger for your car. It has always surprised me how seldom people charge their EV during their stay. I hope others read this and feel comfortable using the charger. Hope to see you again.

The host is very welcoming. We've stayed here twice now. It's always very clean, lots of drinks and snacks, and such a lovely property. It's a great location if you're visiting Southtown or downtown. The best part for us is that they provide a level 2 charger for our electric car. You will need an adapter if you own a Tesla. We will definitely be staying here again.
