The Hillcrest Home has everything you need to enjoy your time in San Marcos. The home is cozy, welcoming, super clean, and quiet. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen stocked, the AC pumped out cold air, and the showers were so nice we had to remind our teenager there was not an endless supply of hot water, there might have been, it never ran cold!!!!!!! There are tubes available for river activities, a cute library of books, a cozy couch to read them, and a great backyard for tossing a football. Our host, Alex, has provided a comprehensive Welcome Book and was available for any of our questions about the property and the surrounding area. He was outstanding. We can't wait to come back and know that we have a place to stay while our kiddo attends school at TXST. Thanks for an amazing stay Alex!!
