Great stay even with minor issues
Our goal for this trip was to see our daughter graduate BMT. Grant is awesome, he stayed in contact before and during our stay. Check-in was easy. Pool table and foosball table were big hits! The one downside to this stay was the cleanliness and items being broken. Several handles were broken on the kitchen cabinets, and kitchen trash can lid was broken. Everything was still usable. Could tell that the floors were not cleaned, could see footprints from previous renters, fridge wasn’t clean, several light bulbs were out in each bathroom. Shower curtain in upstairs hall bathroom needs to be replaced asap as it had mold on it. We could also tell that the comforters weren’t cleaned. There were only 2 sets of towels in each bathroom for 7 guests. We ended up buying more towels and then found where the extra towels were kept. We ended up bringing our towels home. Not a big deal. I did let Grant know about the issues and he was very responsive. My suggestion for Grant would be to hire a better cleaning crew and maintenance team (to fix broken handles, and replace the back stairs). They are really rotted and could be a liability. They are definitely cutting corners and I hope Grant can get that fixed. I would stay here again if the items mentioned were taken care of. Like I said, Grant was very responsive and I would hate to see bad cleaners be the cause of any bad future reviews.

Bring House Shoes!
I chose this home because it’s in the loop, close to base, had basic entertainment and had enough space to not feel crowded. I was pleased at a glance, but that quickly fell short as our stay progressed. Bring house shoes or wear black socks! The floors look pretty clean, but they are not! All the bottoms of our socks were literally black before bedtime. One of my sons refused to sleep in a bed before the sheets were laundered because of stains and hair on them. No disinfecting wipes or cleaners to wipe down sticky counters or tabletops. The kitchen faucet leaks, master bath sink fills and drains slow when in use. Outlets around the home do not work so choose wisely where you plug in your devices needing charged. There are tvs in all the bedrooms, but not all of them work either. The deck leaves much to be desired as well. The sliding glass door has a plank of wood laying in the track to “lock” the door because there is no lock! Top notch security! The “grill” outside could’ve been a nice touch if the bag of charcoal wasn’t sitting in the dirt and rain in the yard and the grill brush laying in mud. Luckily, it rained a lot and we didn’t spend time outside. Once our grad was able to join, they tried shooting some pool until balls were falling out of un-stapled pockets. I was disappointed in my choice of homes and convinced that the price you pay for “cleaning services”should be REFUNDED because YOU are the cleaning crew with a list of chores framed nicely hanging on the wall!!

I'm very sorry to just now be hearing of the issues you experienced during your past stay. Guests who raise suggestions or complaints during their stay usually have them corrected the same or next day. Being that there was no communication during your stay, I assumed all was well. However, being a former BMT graduate myself, I fully understand that spending time with the new Airman was top priority and the absolute best use of your time. I would have done the same thing. I have read your public review and am taking action to make sure that each one of the home's shortcomings is addressed as soon as feasible. I would love the chance to host you again in the future. I'm certain you would have a better experience. Thank you again and congratulations to the new Airman.

Great vacation stay
Property was perfect for our family. Very close to SeaWorld. Not far from the riverwalk or caverns. It was a great place to relax after a busy day. We had plenty of space and everyone enjoyed the game room. Would stay here again.

NEEDS NEW BEDS
The house was great but all the beds need to be replaced. They were not sturdy underneath and one of the beds did not have a mattress just a board and a thick blanket over it. Overall nobody seemed to be satisfied with the amount we paid due to the sleeping conditions.

Home away from Home
We were looking for a place to stay for my son’s graduation from BMT and this place was perfect! It’s 7 1/2 miles from the Valley Hi gate at Lackland and easy to get to which is good for the early morning activities for graduation. It was spacious, clean, set up to entertain, in a nice neighborhood, and we had awesome communication with the owner. It was the most perfect place to let my son adjust to the real world again and for our family to spend time together. The owner even allowed us to check in early so the food we brought didn’t have to sit in coolers in the hot weather. We would definitely stay here again. So if you are looking for a place for your family for BMT Graduation, look no further!! You can rent without hesitation!

Quick Easy Access to Seaworld!
The AC is great! Washer/dryer work fine! And...Fridge was dirty. Ice maker doesn’t work. Keureg machine hadn’t been emptied/cleaned. Shower curtain was dirty. Hand soap isn't provided at all sinks. Sliding door wasn’t locked. The only thing to hold it closed is a plank of wood, not in place when we arrived. Two windows were unlocked. No covering for the sliding glass door that opens to the backyard adjoining the gas station. Drain flies in the master bathroom and tiny bugs in the kitchen. Towels + sheets (all white) were thin; many of them stained. Bunk bed mattress is very thin. All mattresses covered in plastic. Some pillows and mattresses are very stained/dirty. Master toilet runs after a flush if the handle isn't jiggled. Two toilet seats aren’t tightly fitted. Shower head in the master bath is set to “pins and needles.” Bath faucet handles are odd—left is cold/right is hot/straight up is off. Dust pan is useless without the rubber edge. Dirty Swiffer pad was left on the sweeper. The neighbor’s car alarm went off with every passing car and sometimes “just because.” It went off continuously during a nighttime thunderstorm. Even though they were in states of disrepair, the pool table, foosball table, tic tac toe, checkers, etc. were big hits and greatly appreciated. Seating in the game room would make it a better experience. Overall, knowing the little idiosyncrasies of this property so we could be prepared, given its location, we would stay here again.

Wonderful spacious house
This is a very nice, spacious house, located in a good neighborhood. We enjoyed the pool table and foosball table. It is a relatively short distance from all the attractions in San Antonio. We would definitely stay here again.

Super convenient to Seaworld
The house is roomy and spacious; comfortable and easy to bring children into without a lot of clutter or breakables to worry about. The upstairs tv area and game room downstairs were a big hit with the kids. Its proximity to Seaworld, dining, and shopping is great. The neighborhood feels safe and we noticed that even though we were not very far from a busy street, there was virtually no street noise or lighting to bother us during the night. We had a few issues starting out but Grant was very responsive and quick to resolve them. Overall we had a comfortable and pleasant stay.
