Beautiful Contemporary Modern River Retreat on 1.5 acres - surrounded by park land on the original San Antonio River & walking distance to the World Heritage Site San Antonio Mission San Jose.

Enjoy a unique getaway at this secluded and peaceful San Antonio property. Situated in the heart of the Mission district and on one and a half tree shaded acres, this contemporary show place has all of the amenities including three 65 TVs, two king, 1 queen & 1 single bed.

Relax by the full size swimming pool in the Texas sunshine under the shade of a giant 300 year old pecan tree (even in the winter as the pool is heated). Tour the World Heritage Site San Antonio Missions from the property by foot, bicycle or car and enjoy local restaurants at one of America's favorite vacation destinations.

The home is the architecturally designed dream home of a local real estate developer. We purchased the property in 2002. After extensive interior remodeling, Casa Mission Rio is now a modern showplace. We did extensive refurbishment in late 2019. Our son rented the property the past 2 years & it is now back on the market.

Many of our guests say they find the property so peaceful & enjoyable that they just stay home for much of their visit to San Antonio.

The property & Mission San Jose are 5 miles south of downtown & the Alamo. The area is called Southtown & is where the arts district is & many great new restaurants have been locating.

    Easy drive to downtown sights and sounds. Everything you need is a short drive away. Highly recommend bicycles to take advantage of the excellent network of cycling trails at your doorstep.The house, pool and property are lovely and well maintained. Communication with Eric was easy and he responded quickly to any questions we had.

    Our family of 7 stayed here for approximately 1 month while relocating to the San Antonio area. The house is located in the beautiful mission district and is private and secluded. Upon arrival, tge house was immaculate and I am very picky. The pool and game room provided lots of fun for our 3 teenage boys. Eric is a great communicator and was great to work with before, during and after our stay. We use VRBO properties 2 to 3 times per year and this was one of our best VRBO experiences ever. I highly recommend this beautiful house.

    We arrived at the property late and Eric was very reachable throughout our stay. Since we checked in late, we weren't able to appreciate the property until the very next day. This was a pleasant stay in a very convenient location in S.A.! Everything we looked for was within a short driving distance including downtown which was, at times, 10 min away! The property is very well maintained. Eric and the groundskeeper Henry, made our stay wonderfully welcoming! We needed a place where we can stay for a month to get some work done, enjoy our family, get to know the city, and bring our doggo Blue. We loved the layout of the property as it is located in a very secluded and private road. Everything we needed to enjoy our stay was available such as, silverware, glasses, tp, washer & dryer, vacuum, mop, broom, gas grill, and so much more. We will definitely considering staying here again as it was exactly what we were looking for in a property and experience with everyone involved!

    Rented the home after relocating to San Antonio and our house remodel was not completed yet. After staying in a hotel for a week, rented this property. Beautiful grounds and plenty of space for the dogs to run around. Beautifully landscaped and every one we met including groundskeeper and neighbors were very nice. Henry, the landscaper/maintenance man was very hospitable and always greeted us with a smile and was always willing to make sure we were ok. Host was very accommodating as well. Didn’t use the heated pool but, Would stay here again if the need arrives.

    We stayed in this home from end of May through end of August. The owner has thought of so many special touches (like magnifying mirrors in all bathrooms, martini and wine glasses and other amenities). The artwork is a unique touch and was the inspiration for many dinner conversations. The home is located in the middle of the missions national historic district and on the Riverwalk. We enjoyed many many beautiful walks on the river and through the missions. This home is move in ready with everything you will need and the pool is such a treat! Many thanks to Eric and his staff for making our transition to Texas such a beautiful experience.

    Beautiful home, fantastic art, sprawling grounds, fantastic pool. It is impossible not to relax as you listen to the birds and unwind poolside in this hidden gem, close to enough to everything but tucked away in a private oasis. The owners are a delight and the home was the perfect landing pad as we waited to finalize a sale and close escrow on a new house in the city. We stayed here for 7 weeks and it provides ample comfort for live and work needs. Best VRBO experience we've ever had.

    We rented this home to get a change of scenery during the pandemic, and it was nothing short of amazing. The property is absolutely beautiful - serene, peaceful, and quiet, yet only a very short bike ride or walk away from the River Walk and San Jose Mission - and the other missions are easily accessible via bike on the River Walk. Our kids swam every day during our Nov/Dec stay in the heated pool, rode bikes, and played in the huge backyard next to the Old San Antonio River. We saw all kinds of birds including swans and an owl in the woods while sitting by the pool. We also ate fresh pecans from the pecan trees all over the property every day:) The owners were extremely responsive and helpful, and the house was immaculate and clean. The garage rec room and apartment were perfect for having a quiet place to work and call in to meetings. We usually are ready to go home by the end of a vacation, but not this time! We didn't want to leave. Highly, highly recommend!

    Casa Mission is a great property- perfect for working from home but also enjoying summer with the pool and backyard. The office and room in the garage/addition is great. The house was clean, the beds very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and bake. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for an oasis in San Antonio. Having close access to the river and the Mission bike trail was definitely a plus!
