About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming screened porch hang-out, quiet locale 10-min to downtown. Pet Friendly!

Your vacation truly begins as you step onto the airy, screened-in porch — a true oasis at sunset, with a cozy sofa and a dining table waiting for your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Then step on through into this, private, fully remodeled 1930s bungalow in Alta Vista, one of San Antonio's best-kept historic neighborhoods. Exposed shiplap walls bring historic charm into every room, paired with an open floorplan and curated art throughout — modern comfort meets old soul, in a 1,700 sq ft home built for slowing down and spreading out.

SLEEP — Three spacious bedrooms and a queen sofabed sleep up to 8, with large, streaming TVs in the living room and two of the bedrooms. The primary retreat features a king bed and bamboo memory foam mattress, while both queen rooms come with extra-comfy hybrid memory foam mattresses — one bright and TV-ready, the other a peaceful, screen-free room with soft honeycomb shades. Every room comes with a spacious closet with built-in organizer, a comfy chair, dimming lights for a soft wind-down, and blackout coverage for sleeping in.

BATHE — The bathroom features a dual vanity and an oversized 3' x 6' walk-in shower with river-pebble flooring, a massaging handheld sprayer, and an on-demand tankless water heater — hot water never runs out. Spa-quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided, along with plush towels, cotton swabs, and makeup-removal towels.

GATHER — The dining table seats up to 8, perfect for family dinners or catching up with friends. The living room comes with a large streaming TV, dimming lights for movie nights, board games, and books for a slow evening in, and the fully-appointed, spacious kitchen makes cooking easy for any group.

UNWIND OUTDOORS — Once the sun goes down, the screened-in front porch turns into the best seat in the house. Settle in and listen to the crickets, and you'll understand why guests linger long after dinner. The fully-fenced, pet-friendly backyard means your furry guests are welcome too. We've got them covered with stainless steel bowls, doggie treats, furniture covers, doggie towels and blankets, and waste bags.

LOCATION — You're centrally located to everything San Antonio has to offer: downtown, the River Walk, and the Alamo are just 10 minutes away, and the St. Mary's Strip dining corridor is just minutes away. Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Lackland AFB, and BAMC are all about 15 minutes out, and SeaWorld is a quick 20-minute drive. Alta Vista itself is a quiet, friendly, family-oriented neighborhood of well-loved and well-kept historic homes — come see why locals consider it one of San Antonio's most charming places to call home, even if it's just for a few nights.
