Excellent house for our family adventure
We were very pleased with the house and the amenities. The location was perfect for all our activities. The communications with our host was great and very easy. This was our first experience with VRBO and we will use it again. Thank you to Courtney for all the help. Enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back.

What’s to say but WOW!!!
This is an exceptional vacation rental!!! It lacks nothing and is definitely the best equipped, and decorated, place we’ve ever stayed. Everything was spotless and well organized. Courtney was a delightful host who answered every question and request for recommendations within minutes. The beds are comfy and there’s lots of room to spread out or gather together. The location is convenient to everything, but just enough out of the center not to be bothered by the hubbub. The neighborhood is quiet and filled with lovely trees. Overall an A++ experience. Thank you Courtney!!!

Enjoyed the property and loved to be able to sit outside with a little privacy. Just enough afternoon shade on the deck. The resident gray fox on top of the shed during the day provided us with a lot of good conversation.

Beat house ever!!
Being a family of 6, we stay at a lot of vrbos because the price point and value is so much better than hotels. I say that because my kids ranked this house the best they've ever stayed at! They want to come back this summer, and I hope I can make that happen for them! The house is well stocked with all the things you need, plus thoughtful extras! The backyard is amazingly beautiful and a great place to run around. The house was very clean and all the beds and linens so comfortable after long days of walking! Thank you for letting us stay! We loved it!

Great family hangout!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our visit in this SA home and wish we had had more time to play bumper pool and ping pong! Easy access to Loop 1604 made it a quick trip to the San Antonio grandparents we came to visit. Super cute decor, comfy beds, spotless bathrooms, and a quiet neighborhood all made for a great visit! We would definitely stay here again!

Wow!! What a House/ Host
I’m from San Antonio but living in Dallas with my family. We travel to San Antonio for Easter every year to celebrate with our large extended family. I cannot say enough about this house and host!!! The house is super clean, plenty of towels- bath/ kitchen, utensils, trash bags, coffee, snacks and all the things you don’t want to pack or even know you need. Courtney, the host, has thought of everything!!! The house is so spacious, plenty of storage and seating areas for a large group yet still cozy for a small family. The beds are really comfortable too and we absolutely loved the kitchen and extra large island! My family loved the games, TVs and basketball hoop in the backyard. The backyard is simply awesome!!! So much fun for Easter egg hunts, barbecues, playing ball or just relaxing. The neighborhood is super safe, friendly and quiet. No matter what you’re doing in San Antonio- the location is perfect!! Centrally located and easy to get anywhere in the city. Also so nice to have grocery stores and gas station less than 1 mile away. We’ve used VRBO for several years now and have stayed in some truly wonderful houses- but this house really exceeded our expectations. Courtney is very responsive but also allows for privacy. The pictures don’t do this house justice- it’s simply beautiful with great finishes and lots of windows & lights. I would HIGHLY recommend this house. We can’t wait to come back!!

The house was in an excellent location for everything we wanted to do in the San Antonio area. The house was clean and beautifully renovated. We loved the Texas decor. The house seemed bigger than pictured. The rooms were nice and we enjoyed the back yard. There were games and puzzles in the house that we got to use. We had 1 issue with the house while we there and the owners/managers fixed it in a very timely manner. We would stay here again.

Cozy, spacious home
The house is in a great, quiet neighborhood at the end of the street and still close to the highway, grocery stores and restaurants. It is well decorated with comfortable furniture and a spacious kitchen. We (family of 5) and our friends (family of 4) had plenty of space and the kitchen is well-equipped so we could cook for ourselves. Everything is included and in great working order. The beds are comfortable. The owners are easy to get in touch with and answered all of our questions. Check out instructions are reasonable and easy to follow. Highly recommend this property to anyone traveling with a group.

The home has a beautiful private backyard that feels like you are not in the city. There are so many little things provided in the home that make it such a smooth transition to moving into the vrbo.

We had a most wonderful vacation in this beautiful home! From the moment we walked in, I was so impressed by the spaciousness and beauty of the home. Well stocked from games to kitchen made it easy to enjoy our time there. One of the things that stood out to me is how clean everything was. I pulled a dish towel out of the draw and was greeted with the scent of “freshly washed”! I am a huge stickler for cleanliness and this property definitely met the highest standard!

We had a great stay at Woods of Shavano. The house was exactly as pictured/described. The kitchen was well stocked with gear for cooking (toaster, Keurig, coffee pot, pots, pans, etc.). Very quiet neighborhood location, easy to get to local attractions and an easy drive into the San Antonio River Walk area. The house was very clean and the bedrooms were all a good size with comfortable beds. Looks like the entire house was recently remodeled and opened up, the great room was perfect for hanging out in the evenings. We appreciated the cooler that was provided as well, worked great for daily outings. We would definitely stay here again.
