For your peace of mind, the property is fully-fenced and offers off-street tandem parking in our gated driveway. A security system is also in use. We have three exterior cameras for our property, as it's vacant from time-to-time. Cameras cover the front porch (doorbell camera), front yard and back yard. The Nest doorbell blinks white when activity is detected, not when it's being monitored. (With two young toddlers, we have better things to do than monitor stays).

Privately owned and operated! You'll enjoy our lux amenities and personal touches. (No third party owner or management.)

We are licensed by the City of San Antonio & Bexar County, which charges a Hotel Occupancy Tax. If you see added fees to your total, it's due to these mandatory taxes.

Government Hill is one of San Antonio's oldest neighborhoods. This tightly-knit community is close to EVERYTHING Downtown: Pearl, the Alamo, Riverwalk, Convention Center, San Antonio Zoo, Museums, Trinity University, UIW, Alamo Heights, the AT&T Center & more! It's less than 9 minutes to the Airport, without traffic.

It's integrally linked to Fort Sam Houston; in fact, you can often hear "Taps" from the front porch. Most Government Hill residents have owned their homes for generations; ours is the only rental on the block. The neighborhood is a mix of old historic mansions, newly updated homes (like ours), and some that are in need of TLC.

Laura was such a tremendous help. We had our booking cancel the night before arrival and Laura was able to accommodate us on VERY short notice. The house was clean and had lots of games and toddler supplies to keep all entertained. The location was perfect for spending time at the Pearl and Fort Sam Houston. The neighborhood is definitely in transition but it was quiet all but Saturday night and we never felt unsafe. I would definitely stay on our next visit to San Antonio.

Spacious, tastefully updated bungalow home; it is the most thoughtfully equipped and comfortable VRBO we have stayed in. Laura was very welcoming and responsive. The house is walking distance to the Pearl. The backyard is lovely, with room for kids to play, a sitting area and a large table for outdoor dining. There also are toys, games and tableware for kids. We will be back!

The Hot Tamale exceeded our expectations. The location is an easy Uber ride from all the San Antonio airport and all the attractions listed in Laura's invaluable guide book. The house was the cleanest VRBO property we have stayed in and the most well stocked. Bedding and linens were top quality and plentiful. Everything we needed for our stay was there, I highly recommend The Hot Tamale.
