LUXURY SPANISH HACIENDA ESTATE | HEATED POOL | GAME ROOMS | CANTINA BAR
Welcome to Epic Vacation Rentals and one of San Antonio’s premier luxury short-term rentals. This stunning Spanish Hacienda–style estate combines timeless character with modern, resort-style amenities to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
Located in one of San Antonio’s most desirable neighborhoods, you’ll be just minutes from the Alamo, River Walk, Pearl District, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and SeaWorld—while still enjoying the privacy, space, and comfort of your own luxury retreat.
We’re continually adding new amenities and fun things for our guests to enjoy, so it’s nearly impossible to show everything this incredible property offers in photos. You’ll discover even more special features after you arrive!
PRIVATE BACKYARD OASIS | HEATED POOL OCTOBER–APRIL
Step outside into your own private resort-style backyard. This is where many of our guests spend most of their time.
The centerpiece is the heated pool, which is heated from October through April at no additional charge and typically maintained at approximately 88 degrees during the cooler months. It’s perfect for relaxing mornings, afternoon fun, or evening swims when the weather cools down.
Around the pool, you’ll find comfortable loungers, hammocks, and plenty of room to unwind. The covered patio features a 65-inch TV, gas fire-pit table, and bar seating for eight—perfect for watching the game, enjoying drinks, or spending time together.
We recently added a commercial ice machine, so your group will have plenty of ice for drinks and coolers. We also added a swamp cooler to help keep the covered back patio more comfortable during warmer weather.
Guests now have two grills to enjoy: a four-burner gas grill with extra propane and a new Pit Boss pellet grill—perfect for everything from quick family meals to slow-smoked Texas barbecue.
The gazebo’s warm bistro lighting creates an incredible nighttime atmosphere and makes it a favorite spot for photos. Whether you’re relaxing quietly by the pool or gathering with your group for a memorable evening, this backyard was designed to feel like your own private resort.

The bar is fully equipped with an ice maker, wine refrigerator, blenders, bar tools, and elegant glassware—everything you need to prepare and enjoy your favorite drinks.
“LA CUEVA” — THE ULTIMATE 1,900-SQUARE-FOOT GAME LOUNGE
La Cueva is a fully climate-controlled, 1,900-square-foot entertainment space created specifically for fun, connection, and unforgettable group experiences. This isn’t simply another game room—it’s an entire private entertainment lounge.

This was the best stay we've ever had. My son-in-law said he hasn't stayed anywhere that felt like home and that he felt relaxed enough to be his self. And they travel a lot because my granddaughters are traveling cheer leaders so they stay on the go. We enjoyed the house and the Cave a lot. Thank you both for having use stay in your home.

Thank you so much! We’re so happy you and your family felt at home and were able to relax and enjoy your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you!
The house is perfect for families with kids: pool & gameroom had lots of fun activities. There were even pool towels provided! We have 2 points of feedback. The kitchen is small & isnt laid out efficiently. Appears more frequent spraying for bugs is warranted, at least on the inside.

Thank you for your five-star review. We’re glad your family enjoyed the pool, game room and activities.
We were surprised by the concerns, as all communication during your stay was positive and neither issue was reported. Kitchen layout can be subjective, but the size of this kitchen has consistently received positive comments in more than 100 reviews across multiple platforms. Guests frequently praise its spaciousness, extensive appliances, quality cookware, and exceptional level of stocking. The kitchen is large enough to even have two full size refrigerators!
The home also receives professional pest control every month. Your stay followed unusually heavy rainfall, which can occasionally push a small outdoor insect inside. This has never been mentioned as an ongoing concern in our reviews, but we take all feedback seriously and will continue our monthly professional service.
This home was the best it's very huge and nice so many activities through out the home. It was 16 family members in our group and we still had extra space. All the extra bathrooms help a lot. Having two refrigerators and two ovens was very nice. If anyone is looking for a nice huge place that has so many things to do this is place for you. My family absolutely love it. Mr. Davis was only a phone callaway to any question you may have. We will be planning to go again.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, Joseph. I’m glad our house worked so well for your family gatherings and that “La Cueva,” kitchen gear, and location hit the mark. Looking forward to hosting you all again next year!
Great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was responsive and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Perfect guests! Took wonderful care of the home and left it so clean. Welcome back anytime!
Incredible! Best VRBO experience we’ve ever had! Beautiful property and home. Outdoor space/pool was very private. The new game room was a huge bonus- so fun! Home was stocked with everything you’d need. The hosts communication was outstanding! Location was great being close to the airport, restaurants and River Walk. I highly recommend (and already have to friends and family)! If ever back in the area we’ll definitely stay again! Thank you for making our family vacation so awesome! I’d give you 100 stars if I could! Linda and Brian Nordmann

Exceptional guests!!! They maintained the home in impeccable condition, adhered to all house rules, and followed check-out instructions precisely. Their communication was prompt, courteous, and professional throughout the entire booking process. It was a genuine pleasure hosting their family vacation, and we are grateful they enjoyed the property, pool area, game room, and location as much as they did. We would welcome them back anytime without hesitation. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!
This property was perfect for our family trip to San Antonio, It was clean and just like we expected from the pictures. The host coupe were always quick to respond with any question we might have. Highly recommend this property!
This is a beautiful, spacious property in a quiet neighborhood that is conveniently located near restaurants, shopping, and the airport. It was perfect for our girls trip and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend by the pool. The hosts were very attentive and responded quickly to messages. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We had a great time at this residence. The place was great with many amenities and it was clean beyond our expectations. Thanks for making our trip memorable. I would highly recommend this Vrbo house.

Thank you so much for the great review! This property is becoming one of the most popular in San Antonio! Hope you come back and visit again. We are adding even more amenities and fun things to do at the home!
Our stay at this vacation rental was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the space felt thoughtfully curated—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and filled with small touches that made it feel like a true home away from home.The hosts went above and beyond, providing clear communication, local recommendations, and amenities that exceeded expectations. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the outdoor space was the perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploring.What really set this place apart was the sense of calm and comfort it created. Every detail—from the cozy lighting to the high‑quality linens—made our stay feel elevated and effortless. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our next visit. This rental is a rare find and absolutely deserves five stars.

Near airport. Nice pool in back yard. Had game room with pool table, pac man and a video game. Coffee bar was great in the morning.

Thank you for the great review! This home has so many amenities. Often times, the coffee bar isn't mentioned. I believe that our coffee bars are some of the best out of all of the short term rentals in San Antonio!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything was clean and well kept. They had so much available in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. We didn’t have to bring much it was wonderful. Location was great for us to go to Alamo and Sea World. We would stay again for sure!
The property is beautiful and we enjoyed out stay. Much care was taken to provide a comfortable enjoyable experience and it was much appreciated. We have rented many VRBO homes and the extra small touches provided by this property were amazing! Our party believed that while beautiful, the beds were too hard. We recommend this property!

Hi Doug! Thank you for the great review and feedback. We always try to set our home apart from others by offering personalized service (rather than bots and AI) and attention to details to all of our guests.
Sorry that you thought the the mattresses were too firm. We use the same memory foam mattresses in all of our homes and normally receive fantastic compliments. Even to the point of guests asking what brand and where did we buy them. But we understand that everyone has their own preferences.
Hope to have you back in the future. You took amazing care of the home.
Also, I just had a meeting with the owner and we will be adding many more amenities and fun things to do at this home in January and February! So stay tuned as it will be even better than advertised.
Hope you have a fantastic Holiday Season!
David
House was beautiful, clean and met the needs of my family ranging in ages from 3-45. Kids loved the game room and had a blast! The house was the most well stocked house we’ve ever stayed in! Every last detail was considered from extra blankets and pillows to kitchen appliances and utensils to toiletries and most importantly the amazing coffee bar! Thank you for a great stay in San Antonio!
This home was perfect for a Family of 4 ( ages 15-65) another family of 5 ( ages 3-45) and a Family of 3 ( ages 15-48) to join together for 4 days and 5 nights. Plenty of space for food prep and storage - easy access to amenities and activities including a Gymnastic Meet in the downtown convention center. Also, so close to the airport - but I swear I never heard a plane! Really beautiful and full of games and activities for all ages.

Thank you Ara! This is one of the most popular homes in San Antonio. Hope to have you back again. You were great guests!
Our stay was good. The house could have been cleaner. There were fingerprints all over the fridges and the cabinets. The pictures definitely do it justice. It is a lot bigger in the ad than it is in real life. The game room was a nice option to have for younger people. we definitely missed not having a hot tub.
This Spanish hacienda was even more beautiful in person. We had 4 families stay in the home last weekend and everyone enjoyed all the amenities, from the coffee bar to the heated pool that felt amazing. The kids really enjoyed it. We are not used to enjoying a pool in this cool weather. Thank you, David and Marcela, for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had a great time. :)

Thank you for the great review! You were great guests to hosts. We hope to see you back in the future. This January and February we are adding even more amenities and fun things to do at the home!
I can’t say enough good things about this property. We checked out from a 10 day vacation today and we are sad to leave. There were 14 of us and we ALL loved the home.The pictures were a perfect representation of the property. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and effort to provide an enjoyable and comfortable stay. We all plan on staying here again. If you are a large group, definitely plan for some down time to enjoy the home and all it has to offer. Put a Pool Tournament and Foosball tournament on your list of things to do!!

Thank you for the great review and for staying with us. You are welcome back anytime. We are adding even more amenities to the property for guest enjoyment!
This property was perfect for our group of 9!
Plenty of space to hang out together and still plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when desired. Rules & check in/out procedures were clearly communicated and completely reasonable. The few questions we did have were answered promptly.
Everything was great and as expected based on the listing and pictures. In addition, the house was well labelled -- light switches, fan switches, cupboards, etc were all clearly labelled which made everything that much easier. Pool was perfect and the kids couldn't get enough swimming, nice that it was heated so they could keep swimming into the evening.
Great location, even though close to the airport there was no issue with airplane noise.
Would definitely stay again when travelling in the San Antonio area.
We had a great mini weekend get away. The house IS beautiful. We visited San Antonio for my son's birthday. The house was spacious and filled with more items than we expected (toiletries, bath and pool towels, kitchen amenities and supplies). Loved the coffee bar. The 2 fridges came in handy and were very clean. The kitchen had an electric range top which we're not used to and range top was a bit small but it all worked great. Lots of comfortable sitting areas. The game room was very nice. Two arcade games which was cool as it brought back memories from the 80s, LOL. Rooms were very comfy and the entire house esp restrooms were very clean. The backyard was also beautiful and the pool was very well kept. Everyone enjoyed being in the pool; again, lots of sitting areas. Did not encounter any issues where we needed to contact host. Host sent clear instructions before and during our stay. Would definitley recommend this home!
Fantastic stay overall! The hosts took care to keep toiletries well stocked, and there were plenty of towels/dishes available to accommodate guests. Checkout instructions were clear and reasonable. We had a group of 8 adults and 5 kids. There was plenty of space to spread out. Some games may be out of order from time to time, but that is expected at any rental due to repair times/cost. Most of the games worked well, and there was plenty of variety to keep everyone busy. Pool was well maintained and clean. There are trees in the area, so leaves may need to be scooped out from time to time based on guest preference.If you are doing traditional tourist stuff, we found that SeaWorld, Six Flags, Natural Bridge Caverns, Animal World and Snake Farm, SA Zoo, SA Botanical Gardens, Brackenridge Park, and downtown San Antonio were all within a 15-30 minute drive. The airport is very close and convenient to get too. There are several good restaurants within 10 mins of the house. We tried out Los Azulejos, European Dumpling Cafe, Gino’s Deli, and Pizza Break. I would recommend all of them. Overall, this was a great VRBO experience and the hosts know how to do things right!
