First time booking and this place did not disappoint! Instructions were very clear and Carmen always responded quickly to any questions I had! My guests and I loved it…even had a few games of pool! Will be recommending this place and definitely staying here again when I visit. Lovely home for friends and family !

The house was absolutely beautiful. Carmen was an extremely great host and so helpful. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. So many things to do in the area and close enough to drive to San Antonio for the river walk. I would definitely recommend staying at this house. Thank you so much for everything Carmen. I really appreciate everything. ~ Courtney

Carmen's place was fantastic! The first thing that stood out was how incredibly clean it was. The space was spotless and very well-maintained, making it a pleasure to stay in. In addition to being clean, the place was also incredibly quiet. This was especially appreciated after long days of exploring the city, as it allowed for a peaceful and restful night's sleep. ~ Lisa

The location of Carmen's place is also a major plus. It's situated in a lovely, quiet neighborhood that's safe and secure, yet still within easy reach of all the sights and sounds of the city. The easy check-in was especially appreciated, as I arrived late and didn't want to worry about finding the place or having to wait for someone to let me in.
I highly recommend Carmen's place. It's a great option for anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and convenient place to stay in the city. Whether you're here for business or pleasure, this place is sure to make your stay a comfortable and memorable one!

We were there for a graduation. Safe neighborhood, great communication, clean, and amenities provided. The pool table and large dining room table were appreciated. Comfortable beds. Decorated for Christmas. Lots of parking on the street. Close to campus at TX state. We had several changes of adding other people and adding an extra night. Carmen was very responsive and helpful. ~ Laura

The house was beautiful, clean, and spacious. My friends and I really enjoyed staying there, and so did our 2 dogs. Carmen was great at communicating with me before and during our stay and answered all of my questions. I would love to book with them again next time I am staying in San Marcos. ~Maranda

This was an excellent house for our group of 8. There was ample room for everyone. The back porch, yard, and grill were well-appreciated. The kitchen was spacious and clean. The location was convenient (close to grocery store). We even had (wild ) deer visit us in the evening. A perfect place to stay for our party. ~ Jeffrey

May 2022
My wife and I don't normally book properties of this size, but our daughter was graduating from Texas State and we needed a place of this size to accommodate family traveling from out of town as well as a place for everyone to gather and celebrate after the ceremony. My wife spotted this listing and immediately thought this would be perfect, and she was right. Carmen was great at communicating with us all through the process; from booking to checking in on us throughout the stay. I can assure you the place is exactly as advertised and if anything the pictures don't do it justice. We arrived to a perfectly clean property and immediately found everything we needed. Our party was for eight overnight guests, and we comfortably slept in the place and our party was probably at it's peak as many as twenty people and there was plenty of space for everyone to mingle and socialize (the pool table was particularly nice for those wanting some other entertainment). I highly recommend this property to others and have no hesitancy in giving a full 5+-star rating. ~ Cash

It's a beautiful house which is well maintained and very close to everything in San Marcos. we were surprised to see 8-9 deer outside the window in the morning. The house has a spacious background. Jason and Carmen are gracious hosts who would communicate everything with you beforehand. It is a must stay for anyone staying at San Marcos. The house is great for families or friends to take a relaxing break. Thank you once again, our group had a great time! ~ Visakh

April 2022
We really appreciated you hosting us. The home was nice and spacious for us. Beds were nice and comfortable. Everyone slept so well as the beds were so comfortable. Everything was labeled for clear understanding. This was my first BNB experience and left a lasting impression. Communication up until check out was great! The house is simply beautiful. ~ Jasmine

    This was a fantastic place to stay. The host answered all questions promptly! The amenities were top notch and a perfect space for our family gathering. The pool table, fuss ball table, piano and other games kept everyone entertained! The house is located in a convenient spot to the Texas State Campus and downtown area.

    We are all perfectly comfortable at our weekend away. There was exceptional communication from start to finish. The kitchen had all the pots and pans for our family meals. Beds were comfy, water was hot with good pressure. We could find things easily and we had a lot of fun playing pool and foosball. It was an ideal setup for entertaining . I mean perfect. I do recommend this accommodation.

    Property was great overall. 5 stars here Check in process was tricky due to lack of address provided automatically after booking.... Had to reach out to property manager. 4 stars Had a brief discrepancy with the property manager trying to charge us for damaged / lost items. Please be aware. The issue was eventually resolved. Simply be aware! Hoping it was all a misunderstanding and this isn't standard practice. 2 stars Overall stay = 4 Stars
