The classic charm of this eclectic and luxe 1920 San Antonio craftsman home mixed with modern style and conveniences will create a fun, welcoming retreat for your vacation! You will have a blast with your friends or family.

The location can’t be beat! We are centrally located near all of the best that San Antonio has to offer, from the Zoo to the Riverwalk to sporting events at the Alamodome! We are less than a half mile from Incarnate Word.

The home is directly across the street from the Witte Museum, the San Antonio Zoo and Brackenridge Park so it’s great for adults, families and kids.

Adults have a blast with the local restaurants next door.

Kids have a blast in the small pool with mini waterfall and the fun zoo-themed home with cool animal and jungle decor.

You can walk to the parks around the zoo, which include miles of trails and tree-covered park benches, with a miniature train for kids to ride!

The beautiful Botanical Gardens are also right down the street, and the Doseum is about a mile away.

The free Japanese Gardens are also across the street next to the Zoo.

For adults, there is a great barbecue place next door that has great food, drinks and even a playground to keep the kids occupied!

The Pearl, which is a fantastic area with shopping, restaurants, farmer`s market and children`s splash pad, is 5 minutes by car. In addition, the Brackenridge Golf Course and downtown are all 5-10 minutes by car. The Alamodome is an 8-minute drive away. And the Rodeo is about 14 minutes away at AT&T Center!

The holiday lights on Broadway Street and at Incarnate Word University will wow you! We are very close to Incarnate Word (a half-mile or so).

The spacious and eclectic living room has room for the whole family, and our dining room table is big enough for 8 people. We have a classic mid-century modern bar as well. We have games on hand for you to enjoy.

The full-sized kitchen with island includes all items you need, from cookware, utensils, a blender, a coffee maker, coffee and much more.

The bedrooms all include Roku TVs and plenty of pillows, blankets and accessories, such as a sleep machine, to keep you comfortable and to sleep soundly. Our first guests said they slept better than they had in a long time!

Escape into the jungle-like backyard for outdoor fun all year, with outdoor seating, and even a heated small lounge pool! (This is smaller than a pool but larger than a spa.) Our garage has a dartboard, a poker tabletop and a small gathering spot for more fun outdoors.

Our home is located in Mahncke Park, which is an urban historic friendly neighborhood in the heart of San Antonio! Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills are very close.

We are steps from Broadway Street, where you will find some of the best San Antonio destinations. Our home is right next door to a fantastic BBQ place call the Smoke Shack, which has the best brisket you can find in San Antonio! Sometimes the Smoke Shack or the Pigpen (it`s outdoor BBQ garden) has events as well as a playground where you can enjoy BBQ and a beer, and it is such a blast! They have a FANTASTIC Sunday Brunch! We provide sound machines, if you like to go to sleep very early!

You can walk across Broadway to the Zoo, the Japanese Tea Gardens or Brackenridge Park and picnic near the river or enjoy the bike/hike trails or some golf! The Witte Museum is directly across the street, and the children`s museum, the DoSeum is close, along with the Botanical Gardens.

The Pearl is just down Broadway, to the left, 5 minutes by car. Downtown is just past the Pearl.

Central Market provides groceries nearby. Some of my favorite restaurants nearby include The Hayden, Cappy`s (for brunch) and Cheesy Jane`s Diner.

Trinity University is across the highway, just a mile or two away, as is Fort Sam Houston.

SeaWorld and Fiesta Texas are about a 20-30 minute drive away.

The historic homes in the area are well taken care of!

The airport is 5 miles away (a 10-minute drive) to the north.

The Pearl and Downtown San Antonio are also about 5 miles away to the south.

We are next door to one of the best BBQ places in the south: The Smoke Shack! If you don`t feel like cooking, pop next door! It is so delicious!!

Cappy`s is also very close and has an upscale Brunch. Another great new restaurant nearby is called The Hayden.

    Our family enjoyed every bit of the house! Lori was great and so easy to work with. The house was so cozy and had everything we needed and more. Kids enjoyed the pool, we took advantage of the outdoor grill and spent lots of family time outside and in the garage game room. Can’t wait to come back!

    This was a perfect house for us to stay in with our grandkids and take them to the zoo! We loved the sleeping arrangements and comfortable living area; and, especially loved having a full kitchen for making meals. The back porch area is private and the kids liked being able to cool off in the mini-pool. My only complaint would be that there are several popular bars and restaurants right next to the house and, although we were not bothered by noise, we did get blocked in the driveway once, with all the cars parked on the street. Other than that, great stay!

    This house had it all — great location, great hosts, great amenities and oh so charming! And spacious! And, I must say, I have not stayed in a more thoughtfully, well stocked VRBO. We would definitely stay here again

    We were close to the Zoo and Museums while still having a variety of dining options. Smoke Shack BBQ was delicious and conveniently next door. Plenty of room for my family of 6 and the kids loved the heated pool.

    This property was amazing in so many ways...*If you cook meals, they have a complete kitchen and backyard grill set up ...the chef in our group was even impressed. Much better than most rental places. There are even child safety features on stove. * Backyard pool area is perfect -- teens & adults spent most evenings in clean & warm mini pool with a heat lamp for when you get out in the winter. * There is room for kids to play in yard or enjoy pool with adult supervision.*Game room garage was enjoyed by adults and teens.* TVs in all bedrooms & in comfy family room with lots of seating.* Plenty of eating/game playing space.* House has surprisingly large rooms and ample closet space.* Plenty of beach & shower towels provided.* Overall, home-like feeling with cute decor -- very thoughtfully put together and clean. We really enjoyed the place.We spent a week here and were happy to be at the house in the evenings as there was plenty to do and lots of space for our group of 5. The owners are lovely and got back to us right away.Location was terrific...* several good restaurants within walking distance (next door and across the street). They were not noisy despite proximity. * parks across the street to walk/run through* kid museums literally across the street & playgrounds behind them along with a small zoo.* River walk area a short and easy 8 minute drive away.* Shopping (mall, etc.) 10 minute drive away for the teens & college kids.

    Stayed her with another couple and our 4 year old son. The place had a fun vibe and well decorated. Had all the things we needed to feel comfortable and then some. The pool is little but it totally worked and was plenty of space for the 5 of us to hang out and cool off for a bit. The location was next to some easy activities for kiddos and a few restaurants for some quick food. We had a great time and would def stay here again.

    My family loved the home so much with the comfortable beds, relaxing pool, and convenience to the zoo, restaurants, and the Riverwalk. Perfect vacation for myself and teen grandsons! We all agreed that it beat staying in a hotel hands down!
