Convenient to Downtown, Riverwalk, Pearl, Zoo and Museums! New Hot Tub!

Not your average short-term rental! This inviting and upscale 100 year-old house is nestled in a charming and desirable historic district in San Antonio and is remarkably convenient to downtown with easy access to highways and popular local attractions. This second floor unit is quite the escape, featuring a backyard oasis with a new hot tub, dining table and string lights, an EXCEPTIONALLY well-equipped chef's kitchen, high-end furnishings and a peaceful neighborhood vibe.

PLEASE NOTE that while this house is a duplex (meaning it contains two separate residences) this listing is for the TOP FLOOR residence. The bottom floor is listed as a separate short term rental residence. HOWEVER, if you are interested in renting both top and bottom residences, because you need the space, we can provide you the link to this separate listing that includes both residences (for a total of 4 beds and 2 baths).

This lovely quaint, colorful and eclectic loft-like home has had a recent playful renovation and it is both comfortable and clean. It is close to downtown, airport, and most of the visitor attractions (Pearl, Trinity University, Zoo, etc.). There are several aspects of this home's interior that make it special. It sports original hardwood floors that have been lovingly refinished, and there is colorful artwork throughout the house. The house has a very spacious LIVING AREA, where a TV is located (with ROKU providing DIRECT TV NETFLIX, HBO Max, and Amazon PRIME channels). We provide plenty of games and cards for your use.

There are 2 nicely furnished bedrooms: (1) MASTER BEDROOM - there is an Ethan Allen bed with luxurious custom bedding. This bed has a SLEEP NUMBER mattress (queen), which most people find incredibly comfortable and fully adjustable and has an en suite sitting room; (2) GUEST BEDROOM - there is one wrought iron bed (queen) with upscale bedding and sports a western theme.

The BATHROOM is vintage with refinished tub, new fixtures and plenty of towels, soaps, shampoos and other necessities for your use.

The KITCHEN is a first class chef's kitchen with plenty of new new appliances, gas stove/oven, side-by-side refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker (pods provided). Most of the furnishings are from Williams Sonoma. You will also find spices and many of the kitchen basics that you will need if you chose to cook. Note that there is also an OFFICE nook with a desk with an Apple computer and printer for your use (WIFI is fiber optic). The LAUNDRY ROOM is furnished with new washer and dryer, and a generous amount of detergent is provided for your use, there is also an iron and board available for use. Lastly, the BACK PATIO/YARD features a new hot tub, large dining table and festive string lights.

Enjoy the entire home including the backyard and large patio. We continue to improve the property. However, just ask if you have some particular storage needs (e.g., bikes, equipment, etc.) we may be able to accommodate storage during your stay in the shed in back.

Wonderful stay / great location
Great location for anyone visiting San Antonio - especially if you have kids at trinity. Convenient to some of our favorite restaurants and a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Also to note - when many places state their kitchen is stocked it’s far from it. In this case it really does have everything you need. Highly recommend.

Loved our stay in San Antonio
We had a terrific time here while in San Antonio. The home is spacious and comfortable. Everything we needed was well thought out and provided for us. Great Kitchen!!!! Comfortable beds. Convenient to Grocery store (HEB) Nice places to eat out. Close to Park, Japanese Garden, Zoo and Botanical Garden. Short drive to Riverwalk. Host was accessible and welcoming. Thanks so much. We'll definitely return and would love to stay here again!

Beautiful furniture & Rental is on the 2nd floor
I love the quality and comfort of the furniture at this property. Most rentals have used, mismatched, and uncomfortable furniture. Not this place! The furniture is lovely! Upon entering the front door, you have to climb stairs to get up into the 2nd floor living space/rental property. The stairs may be a challenge for those with mobility issues. I may have missed it on the rental description, but I was a bit surprised that someone lives in the lower level (first floor) of the property. Also, parking is in front of the property; however, if you want to park in the carport, the drive to the back of the property is long and narrow; therefore, we just chose to park in front of the property. The location was perfect as it was close to downtown and the Pearl Brewery restaurants. A few blocks from the property there are local restaurants; but at this time, it is under heavy construction. It will be really nice once the construction is complete. We so appreciated that Don and Karin were responsive to all our inquiries.

Cool house. Perfect for small family
Well stocked kitchen in a completely renovated 100yr old classic with a classic feel and all the perfect modern touches. Our family of 4 had a perfect stay in this super cool house. No issues at all, the owners were super communicative and helped with anything we needed. Just a few minutes from downtown and in a super quiet neighborhood that is a 5 minute walk from cool bars and shops. Would definitely stay again.

Very Nice Home in San Antonio
This is one of the nicest homes we've stayed in! From the moment we walked in, it was readily apparent that the owners are very meticulous in every detail in regards to the decor and functionality. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with higher end appliances and high quality cookware. While not really walking distance to downtown, the home is a short 8 minute drive to downtown San Antonio. The neighborhood is safe with a nice mix of different home types which gives it a lot of character. Definitely recommend!

Great Getaway Trip!
Only good things to say about our stay! It is a duplex with a separate entry to your upstairs house. It felt completely private and the check in/out couldn’t have been simpler. It was cleaned to perfection and was a neat mix of a historic home with modern upgrades. We came in for the rodeo and some other things and everything was under 15 minutes for commute. The only thing to note was the hot tub was down outside the first floor home, so we didn’t end up using it because it was less convenient than I expected with the cold weather. My guest and I said numerous times we plan on coming back to this VRBO!

Wonderful Getaway spot
My husband and I decided to take our girls on a impromptu mini-vacation when their school closed unexpectedly. We booked on a Sunday afternoon and arrived on Monday. The property was gorgeous and very well maintained. The kitchen was stocked better than any rental we've ever stayed in and was perfect for us as we didn't want to eat out too much. The hot tub was great fun for our girls, the office was a welcome amenity since I still worked some while we were there and my husband and I enjoyed the balcony after our girls were in bed. The only communication we had with the owners was upon checkout, but that was a very positive experience and we even chatted about my daughters obversion with the cat who visited outside. The location was ideal for us as it was close to the zoo, Japanese Tea Gardens and downtown. The rental really was perfect for our family's mini-vacation and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience.

Cute House
We loved our stay in Monte Vista! The house is on the second floor of a duplex. The space was perfect for a few friends to stay together. The home is very comfortable and clean, plus we loved relaxing in the Hot Tub! Monte Vista feels very safe and is walkable to so many great restaurants
