Fantastic. Had everything you needed at the property itself but also minutes away from sea world, Alamo and river walk. Maria Bonita’s was especially amazing in minutes from property :).

Property was nice place to entertain my three grandsons. We were disappointed with the kitchen. It could use a good cleaning and could use more dishes and some kitchen linens. Edgar was very helpful.

The tennis court and pool were great activities. Comfortable rooms and beds. The house and grounds were fun to explore! The wildlife was amazing - so fun to see the deer, fox, squirrels, and clumsy kittens playing around the yard.

This property was beautiful. You feel like you are out away from the city, but in reality it right in the middle. Everything is so close, and easy to get to but this property had everything needed. I highly recommend.

Family Vacation.
Family Vacation.
I rented it for my family and my cousins family. The property is beautiful with LOTS of big bucks, does, and fawns that we saw everyday. We enjoyed the pool outside and the pool table. The architecture of the home is really neat. Lots of updates but maintaining some of the original design. Main bedroom is at the opposite end of the house from the living area and is very quiet. It’s just as beautiful in person. The bathroom does face the front of the property where the driveway and garden house are so I wouldn’t enjoy a tub bath with the blinds open. Never had any concerns to talk with the owner or Edgar. He was available if we needed him but we had all the privacy that we needed. I would love to go again and stay longer,
