The space
5 bedroom house in a quiet neighborhood. Centrally located to everything San Antonio has to offer. Ten minutes from the airport. 17 miles from each downtown and Fiesta Texas. Three of the 5 bedrooms have been converted into: a Workout Room, a Music Room and a Massage Room. But two of these three rooms have comfortable futons. Additionally there is a queen bunkbed with a basketball goal and a Polar Express theme in the large Sun Room, with external stairway to access the pool.

Guest access
Located on a cul de sac. Driveway parking for up to 4 cars. Short term street parking

Other things to note
Almost everyone who stays here says two things in the Guestbook or in the Reviews. That they wish they had stayed longer to enjoy the many amenities. And they say this place is like no other place they've stayed. This is still my primary home. I recently bought a small ranch two hours away. My only son has moved out. I enjoy giving people the opportunity to enjoy this fun place I've created, while I'm at the Ranch, just as my son and his friends have. This place is all ours, with the exception of one member of my family being here, Molly the Cat. Everyone loves her.

I treat this listing as if I've asked a friend to stay at my house while I'm away. You are welcome to anything you see in unlocked cupboards, drawers and refrigerators. I only ask that you take no more than you need while you're here. Travel sized toiletries, other necessities, snacks, drinks--non-alcoholic except for an occasional bottle of beer or wine left by a previous guest. I take pride in guests telling me that they never had to run out to the store for things they forgot to bring. There are two computers and a wireless printer available for guest use. You are welcome to use my guitars and electric piano, any of several stereos and entertainment systems. Bring your own video game systems, because I've made it easy for you to hook them up, in any of 3 different locations, to an amazing sound system and large screen TV's.

In the past few months, I've invested a lot in the property to help ensure my guests don't encounter anything breaking down. I've replaced both of the Heating/AC units. I've replaced the hot water heater and water softener. I've completely redone the pool. It has a new surface. All of the pool equipment is new, now much easier for you to work the hot tub. And I can control most pool operations remotely, if you want me to. In cooler weather, I will ensure that the pool is at 85 degrees, at no additional charge, for stays of two nights or more.

One more thing. Most guests say they are amazed by my collection of memorabilia. You will feel like you have gotten to know me. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

Thanks for considering booking my place.

Lovely home

Definitely a unique home. Plenty to do. The host was able to keep the pool water at 85 degrees even with the fall/cold weather. My grandkids enjoyed it immensely. The home was clean, organized and homey. I would like to return if the host will have us.

Family birthday.

All the activities and of course the pool is the reason why I chose this house. The welcoming living room to the kitchen waiting for a family meal to be prepared My son and his friends loved playing pool, the ping pong table entertaining for hours. We enjoyed lunch by the pool and relaxed on the swing at the end of each evening. The back yard felt like an oasis in a luxury hotel without having to have anyone else around. My family and I had an amazing time. Thank you Molly and Phil for opening your home to us.

Great Resort-like Environment

We stayed a week in late April 2023. Phill was an excellent host and made us feel exceptionally welcome. We loved the hot tub and pool- He heated it to 85 degrees before we arrived, which was great since it was on the cool side during the week. I played one of the guitars every day and we worked out in the home gym. No need to ever leave the property! And Molly the cat was a nice treat.

golfers weekend

We really loved the accommodations and location. Spent time in the hot tub and pool, even in Feb. Phil had it heated up and ready to go. We felt like we were in a sports museum of sorts! Very cool memorabilia everywhere you look. The only issue we had is we would prefer beds to futons. But the futons we used were not bad.

INCREDIBLE!!!

We had the most amazing experience staying here! Our host was attentive and very hospitable! Our group ranged from 82 years young down to 1.5 years old. We had EVERYTHING we could possibly need and pur host thought of everything....... I mean everything. Anything you thought you forgot was somehow there and available. The home and property are beautiful and welcoming. We lived the guest book and there was even a binder that went through anything you could need to know! This was above and beyond Anything we could have ever hoped for and we hope to turn this into a yearly tradition 😊

Massage room was an added perk!

We had a wonderful stay! House is great and so is Phill! I scheduled an amazing masseuse to come in and give us all massages. We left her business card in Phill's guest book at the house and highly recommend booking her and taking advantage of the massage room. The pool and hot tub were warm and clean, we enjoyed a lot of time in both. Molly is so welcoming and made us feel at home. It was a little different that Phill leaves Molly, food, his bath products, etc. in the house but he is so hospitable we felt like we were staying at a friends house - thank you Phill! Just a note; Phill makes it clear in the vrbo details but I thought I would mention it again here, two of the bedrooms only have futons but the futons are comfortable and did not bother us. We totally recommend this house!

Awesome stay!

We wanted a house with a heated pool since our stay was in February. We found Phill's house and it was amazing! We got a wonderful hostess out of Molly the Cat. She was so sweet and loving with all of us. On top of that there was plenty for the two kids to do when they weren't swimming. Phill was so easy to work with and great about communicating with us before the stay and the day after we checked in. We are hoping to come back again in the future! When we come back, we owe him a load of capri suns since my kiddos drank all of them. They loved the different treats and learning how to play pool. Thanks for a great stay, Phill and Molly! - Amanda

About the host

Hosted by Phill Hunter

Host profile image
Welcome to my home. Many People have suggested I refer to my home as my bachelor pad. During your stay, you will probably notice that my emphasis has been on substance rather than style. I have resisted expensive furniture and art, in favor of making the place functional and fun (LOL). I realized we wouldn’t get much use out of a Dining Room, so I turned it into my study & man cave, the room in which I spend most of my time. With only one child, a son, we didn’t need all 5 bedrooms as sleeping rooms. So I turned one into a workout room and another into a Music Room, with a futon that makes it double as a sleeping room when needed. After my son moved out I turned his bedroom into a massage room, again with a futon for sleeping when needed.

Originally from Ohio, I moved to Texas from Minnesota at the end of 1994. My son was 6 years old. My goal was to find a house that would be a fun place, a favorite place to be for my son and his friends. I couldn’t afford a house that was everything I’d envisioned. So I bought a house with the potential. I became quite a handy man, spending hundreds of hours in evenings and on weekends turning it into a fun place. When my son got married several years ago, he had six of his best friends as his groomsmen. As I sat in the front row during the ceremony, I realized that I had watched all six of these kids, now successful young men, grow up in my house.




Why they chose this property

I’m a huge sports fan. I’ve been commissioner of a fantasy football league since 1985, well before the internet. I wrote my own rules and created a computer program for tracking. I frequently have people over to watch football. I’ve been to many major sporting events. One of my hobbies is to see a baseball game at every major league ballpark. I’ve been to all of the ones currently in existence with the exception of the two newest ones. I’ve seen a game at 49 different major league ballparks overall. My biggest sports allegiances are the Cincinnati Reds for Baseball, San Antonio Spurs for Basketball, and, most of all, the Ohio State Buckeyes for college football. I’m also a big fan of classic rock music as well as American history, especially anything having to do with presidents or the Civil War.

This home is still my primary residence. If you are staying here, it means I’m probably spending time at my ranch approximately two hours away. Since my retirement in 2020, the ranch has become my new project.

Please feel free to use anything you see in the unlocked cupboards, drawers and refrigerators, etc. Please take only as much as you need while you are here. If you experience any problems or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I’m glad you’re here.

What makes this property unique

The property is in a perfect central location to enjoy all of the many places of interest in San Antonio (SA). There are 3 freeways that pass through downtown. The central one is highway 281 aka I 37. The property is in north central SA, just over 1 mile east of 281. The airport is just off of 281, approximately halfway between the property and downtown. It's 17 miles from the property to downtown SA, with the Riverwalk, Alamo, etc. The property is 1 mile south of loop 1604. Many of the attractions that aren't in downtown are off of 1604. The property is 13 miles from Six Flags Fiesta Texas and 25 miles from SeaWorld, both via 1604. The nicest restaurants in town are either in Downtown, in the Pearl district, on the way to downtown, or within a few miles of the property. 25 miles to Canyon Lake. 1 mile from McAllister Park, with the best hiking and biking trails in town. There is also a green belt in the neighborhood, 2 blocks from the property. 5 miles from Stone Oak with its medical complexes.

The Property is on a cul de sac. Driveway parking for up to 3 cars, maybe 4. Short term street parking available for 1 vehicle. 4 vehicle maximum without approval. No parking permitted in front of the homes of any of the neighbors

Many Amenities and Displays. A guide to the amenities and instructions for using them will be waiting for you on the table. There are also signs posted throughout to assist.

After staying here, my hope is, you will feel like you've gotten to know me. I really treat this as if I'm just away from home for a few days and I've invited a friend to stay.
