About this property

Charmer in Downtown SA. Near River Walk / Alamo!

Our beautiful light filled home built at the turn of the century is located in the Five Points Neighborhood of Downtown San Antonio. Our home is a short drive to all the major attractions, including the River Walk, The Alamo, Six Flags, and SeaWorld, and is walkable to many restaurants, stores, and conveniences We provide an amazing outdoor oasis that includes a gazebo with a fan to give you shelter from the sun on those hot days, and a lighted firepit area to enjoy the outdoors day or night.

After heading up the large front porch you enter the home into a large foyer area with a bench to sit on. From the foyer you can walk straight into the sitting room, a nice comfortable spot in the center of the home with a speakeasy feel to it. The two dedicated bedrooms are large with tons of light entering through the massive windows with area rugs and ceiling fans, and king sized beds. There is an additional bed in the main living room that is a queen size sofa bed also. There are two bathrooms, one with a standing shower and one with a clawfoot soaking tub.

Our guests have access to our entire home with the exception of our locked supply and linen closet.

Our neighborhood is filled with many long-time residents, some well over 30 years. The neighbors are amazing people and very friendly. It is a downtown neighborhood, however, and there can be some transients/homeless walking around as in any downtown neighborhood. We have always had pleasant interactions with everyone. There is Sanchos Cantina, the Cove, and MK Davis restaurants, all within a very short walk as well as a local market for basic groceries just a block away. Also, being in downtown, it can be more noisy that a rural area home so please be aware of that also.

San Antonio has a seeminglyendless list of things to do! We find that the quickest way from point a to point b outside of walking distance is Rideshare such as Uber or Lyft You may also opt to take the city bus which can be caught just a half block away.

We provide a BBQ grill under a fan cooled gazebo. Or you can visit the firepit area and our propane fueled fire table. The backyard is an amazing place to relax.

San Antonio

This property was exactly as represented, but better! It was clean, bright, airy and so so comfortable. We only made coffee and toast in the morning but could have made a complete meal, anything and everything was there for cooking and serving. The location was a quick drive to the River Walk, it was not walkable due to the neighborhood. We would stay here again for sure when visiting San Antonio.

Great house, comfy beds, the outside front porch was dirty, couldn't even sit on the dirty chairs, they should have been cleaned. Very noisy neighborhood. Work needs to be done outside. But we did enjoy it.

What a Charmer

Beautiful home, easy access to everything, and owners, Ben and Kat were extremely helpful. Being able to visit with our family around the fire pit in the backyard was an amazing feature. From the hard wood floors to the beautiful decor, it was like being at home. Thanks again.

Gentrification - neighborhood is a Work in Progress

Overall, the interior was lovely, my type of antique design with a modern twist. The hosts were accommodating and wonderfully responsive. However, The neighborhood is sketch, it’s going thru gentrification a few houses on the block were condemned and other houses were pretty beat up. I encourage renting this property if you’re not bothered by run down neighborhoods in the process of gentrification. Neighborhood didn’t bother me at all, however my co-worker didn’t handle it well

Great spot for a small family weekend

We really enjoyed our stay here for a long weekend with our family. As all of the other reviews mention, the house was extremely clean and accommodating. The hosts were very attentive and responsive! Our daughter loved setting her “new room” and the location itself was extremely close to everywhere we wanted to go. The beds and linens were so comfortable, and everything was super fresh (every towel, every blanket smelled amazing). At first, I was concerned about the neighborhood. Especially staying with a young child, I was caught off guard. However, I took another look at other reviews and agree - I’d describe the neighborhood as gritty but we felt safe. And honestly, not too much different from the other neighborhoods we drove through in San Antonio.
