About this house rental
Location, location, location! The LavacaCasa is an absolute escape in Southtown/Downtown San Antonio and offers the best location you can find in a short term rental.
Our house is steps from Hemisfair Park, King William, the San Antonio Convention Center, The Alamodome, The Alamo, The Riverwalk & some of San Antonio's best restaurants! Walk, bike or ride a scooter to the best of San Antonio's attractions. This 120-year-old cottage has been masterfully renovated with modern bohemian decor throughout. Enjoy the interior, sit on the front porch in rocking chairs, or escape in the backyard.
NEW: Hemisfair's Civic Park just opened! It has an amazing water feature that kids and adults can play in, along with a beautiful lawn and other features. Hemisfair is approximately one block north on Alamo Street.
Enjoy our heated lounge pool, covered deck, BBQ pit, eating area, lounge chairs, privacy fence and driveway! The lounge pool is 8 x 15 feet and 4 feet deep and provides a fantastic way to cool down in the summer or warm up in the winter, and it is heated year-round. We also have a propane heater on the back patio.
We provide parking onsite, with a private driveway and gate.
Southtown is an eclectic neighborhood with a mix of remodeled and original homes! The people here are diverse and extremely neighborly, and the area encompasses a large creative community with a unique mix of artists, locally-owned bars, coffee shops, boutiques, museums and art galleries. It also includes King William, a Victorian-inspired neighborhood filled with history and charm.
LOCATION:
The Tower of America and Hemisfair Park has a new children's park with a fun splash pad, and this is 1/4 mile away! They also recently opened Civic Park, with a water feature, beautiful lawn and lots of festivals and events.
The San Antonio Riverwalk is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, and it is about an 18 minute walk to the main area! You can enjoy miles of the wind downtown river with restaurants, riverboat taxis and tours, and much more.
The Alamodome is barely a 1/2 mile away! You can walk to concerts and sporting events.
The San Antonio Convention Center is 9/10ths of a mile away. The Alamo is also less than a mile away. We are truly in the heart of Southtown and downtown San Antonio living.
Guests are walking just steps from restaurants such as The Battalion, Rosario’s, Maverick, Bliss, Cascabel, Pharm Table, Senor Veggies, my favorite sandwich shop The Filling Station. ... and TOO many others to list! There are spots within a few hundred feet for lunch, brunch, breakfast and dinner.
Also steps away are great bars such as The Friendly Spot, Bar America, the historic Rathskeller, Beethoven’s old German hangout and many more! Brown Coffee is a stone’s throw away if you want some sweets instead! The Pharm table has delicious food, drinks and brunch. Rosarios is a classic. There are too many attractions nearby to mention.
FIESTA:
Fiesta is one of the premier festivals in the entire United States, taking place every April, and you will be in the heart of the festivities without worrying about driving because you are walking distance to everything!

We had a great time on our stay in San Antonio. The Southtown area is a super convenient spot and an easy walk up to the Riverwalk area. It also offers plenty of great restaurant options just a few blocks away. The backyard area and pool were great for just sitting around and relaxing. The home itself was represented very accurately on line and fit our needs perfectly.

This home was very beautiful, updated, and perfectly fit our family’s needs. It was affordable and the owners were so kind and very responsive! We traveled from Alabama to San Antonio for a tournament, but we were also able to relax a few of those days. To me, I enjoyed the home as much as the trip itself! We were able to walk to many locations that we visited. Our kids loved the pool! The outdoor area is very relaxing. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this home!

This rental met all of our expectations, and then some! Communication with Lori was very fast and helpful before and during our stay. The little splash pool worked out great as an oversized Jacuzzi dip every evening and the ambience of the hanging lights was very cool as well.comfortable bed, fairly well stocked kitchen, and excellent internet. Well within walking distance to the Riverwalk and Cycling. Great restaurants within a block. Just rent it and stop looking.

We absolutely loved our stay in this property. The house is exactly as pictured and described. The location is amazing. We could easily walk to many interesting sites, parks, and fantastic restaurants. A bike tour with Cycling San Antonio showed us exactly how amazing the location was as we learned all about the surrounding areas. Even our Uber drivers told us about more restaurants we could walk to. The house supplied everything that we needed to cook and stay there, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend.

Close to most things to see within walking distance. Kids loved the pool. The king size bed was very comfortable, the double bunk bed not so much. Kitchen well stocked. Neighborhood a little sketchy but looks like some properties are being upgraded. Happy with our stay overall.

Very homely and comfortable! Wonderfully accommodating for our group of 9. Location is just far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to downtown attractions to not keep you in the car for long! Communication with the owners is very easy! I have already recommended this home to a family member that plans to visit the area!

We enjoyed a 3 night friends reunion in this adorable home! Location was perfect for walking to coffee shops and great restaurants, and the proximity to the river walk is nice

comfortable house in a great location
This house is almost exactly one mile from the Alamo, which is the center of lots of the tourist stuff you want in San Antonio. There are also lots of restaurants (pizza, Mexican, etc.) within easy walking distance. (even walking in 100 degree heat!) There's a grocery store a couple of minutes' drive away and the neighborhood itself is friendly and original. The backyard setup with grill, lounge chairs, and (small) pool was SO relaxing! I LOVE the location and neighborhood especially.
The house was spread out well for our family of 6 without feeling like we were on top of each other. The kitchen was modern and neat with a big deep sink; excellent for cooking.

Family celebration
This wonderful house perfectly met ALL of our needs. The weather ended up being a bit harsh for TX during our stay. We had to cancel some of our plans, but we enjoyed staying in and took advantage of the games, media options and the comfort of this house. The surrounding neighborhood has GREAT food options to enjoy.

Beautiful home walking distance to convention center
This place is a gem, we truly loved the cleaniliness, and amenities of this home. We were in town for a conference and were tired of paying way too much for a tired hotel room on the waterway. This home is walking distance to the convention center with restauarants literally around the corner. I will definitely stay here in the future for conferences in San Antonio!

Pan Am flight attendants from 1979 reunion!
This lovely house could not be more perfect!! Extremely well-equipped; kitchen to die for, beautiful, modern bathrooms, smart TV, Alexa, and a lovely swimming pool. There is a nice gas grill with gas in the propane tank! Just perfect. And immaculately clean! In a superb location a quick walk to La Villita and the Riverwalk. It was a perfect vacation for we women! I noticed lots of safety precautions that will be great for families with children.

Great location for my training
Each yr, I attend training at a riverwalk hotel. I hate staying there so I look for other cool spots. Lavaca casa is the place to stay. So convenient to everything you need, yummy restaurants & bars close by in a fun eclectic neighborhood. The house is decorated very cute with all amenities you’ll need. A cute little pool is a fun plus. I would definitely recommend Lavaca casa & we hope to visit again
