      Extraordinary Plantation-Style Home on 4 Acres, Blending Rustic & Modern Styles

      Bedroom # 1 (King & Sofa Sleeper), Bedroom # 2 (King), Bedroom # 3 (King), Bedroom # 4 (King), Bedroom # 5 (2 Queens)

      Extraordinary 4,000 sq ft plantation-style vacation home that blends the best of rustic and contemporary styles in a private setting. Southern Charm is located on the southwest side of San Marcos, Texas down a long-shaded driveway tucked back in a grove of tall oak trees. San Marcos is centrally located between Austin, San Antonio, and New Braunfels making the list of nearby activities endless.

      Enter to the intimate sitting area with brandy leather chairs strategically placed in front of the bar stocked with stemware. Walk in farther to the cozy living area that has a massive 12-foot long sectional sofa, 65” Smart TV, and wood-burning fireplace. Just off this room is the fully stocked country kitchen with double islands, stainless appliances, and ice maker. Just off the kitchen is the elegant dining area that has a 9-foot solid pine dining table that seats 10 placed beside another wood-burning fireplace. Also located on the first floor is one full bathroom offering a walk-in shower and a bedroom that has two queen size beds.

      Make your way upstairs to the enormous master bedroom. The king size bed sits opposite of the sitting area that has a queen size sofa sleeper and a 55” Smart TV. There is also a door leading out to the upstairs deck, a luxuriously done walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with jetted tub and walk-in shower. There are three more bedrooms located upstairs, each with a king size bed. Also, upstairs is one more full bathroom with a bathtub/shower.

      The outside grounds are absolutely magical! Enjoy a morning cup of coffee swinging on the long front porch. Watch the kids swim from the fully shaded upstairs deck with steps right to the pool. Or cool off in the swimming pool complete with shallow sitting pool great for toddlers to play and splash in. Surrounding the pool are 4 chaise lounges, a picnic table, and an outdoor dining table that seats 6. There are commonly red birds and hummingbirds fluttering around and deer grazing in the field. This property has such a peaceful atmosphere, a great place to relax and recharge!

      WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS HOME
      - The back yard is securely fenced has lots of mature trees and is very shaded.
      - Pool can be heated in winter (additional fee applies). The pool must be heated for the entirety of the reservation.
      - Every bed in the house has a new 14-inch thick, medium-firm, memory foam mattress.
      - The large upstairs deck has been fully screened-in providing a bug-free area to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
      - Tons of activities 15 minutes away or less including the San Marcos Outlet Malls, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Gruene Hall, and San Marcos River.

      Southern Charm is Charming but...
      The home is beautiful. The kitchen was fairly well stocked and the large yard and the heated pool were a BIG HIT! However, we had some issues. First of all, there are only 10 places to sit at the dining table and no extra chairs. If a home advertises it accommodates up to 14 people, but provides room for only 10 at the table, does it really accommodate 14? The treads on several stairs were falling off and dangerous for anyone going up or down. The hand rail was also wobbly and did not provide the needed stability. The sink in one of the bedrooms leaked. We contacted the property manager to find out how to turn off some outdoor lights, but never heard back from anyone. In general, we enjoyed our stay, but these issues would have to be addressed before we would reserve the property again.

      What an amazing location! Huge home with plenty of room for family celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. Spent a lot of time in the pool, whirlpool or hot tub. Got to see some wildlife. A great experience! Thank you!

      Roomy
      The house was big, roomy and clean for for 10 adults. The kitchen was very well equipped. The pool was nice but very warm. The decking got hot quickly but we learned to wear shoes. The air conditioners works very well in the hot heat.

      Our group of ladies have booked this property. Each of us travel from different areas of Texas & find the location to be a perfect destination for all. The house fits our group & the pool makes even the brutal heat bearable. I'm sure we will book again for next year.
