This is by far our favorite place to stay and each time it feels like we are coming home again. Thanks so much for lending us this space

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.

It was a weekend rental and we enjoyed every bit of it .
Location is great with short drives to all exciting city locations, with quit hill country feel area , highly recommended !

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.
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,

Very cool property with lots of deer! I’m sure in the 50s this was the coolest house around.
But! It’s pretty rundown. The pool definitely was dirty. Most of us didn’t even swim because it was so merky. Vacuum doesn’t work which is a bummer because critters are around so if you want to clean up the kitchen after cooking… the vacuum isn’t an option. kitchen is not very well stocked with basic cook wear and what is there is very old and looks gross. Bbq didn’t come with bbq cookware so we had to use whatever we could find in the kitchen.
One of 3 lounge chairs at the pool is completely broken.
Ice machine is broken so you’ll have to buy your own.
Overall the house is very cool and looks amazing on the website but it definitely it is very understocked in usable items. Not a lot of extra linens or blankets, the laundry facility is gross and has missing buttons and has a bunch of dead bugs in it… also my pillow after removing the case had a huge dead spider in it.
It accommodated the family but I wouldn’t even consider staying again. Please put some love into the ambassador house! Because it would be top notch if it was just given some love.

Great property
Stayed at the property with extended family. Great entertaining space, we really enjoyed the pool table, table games, and the great views. My parents loved the deer that would visit daily while they had coffee. While it sits in the middle of a neighborhood close to everything ….it feels very secluded. Thanks for a great stay.

Beautiful country house in the middle of the city!!!
We loved this house! It’s so beautiful with a family of dear and a fox that seem to live on property! It’s so awesome to see them in the mornings and evenings. The house is very large. It is a bit dated but has everything you could possibly need. The only complaint my family had was that there are only 2 TVs in the house. One in the master bedroom and one in the livingroom. Other than that we had a perfect stay.

Super cool house perfect for families
We loved this house! Stayed for a week of summer camp for my kids. It really has everything you could want for a getaway - pool, tennis courts, pool table, a HUGE yard! We would love to return again next summer. Really, really great VRBO.

This property has amazing charm and a fabulous feel, like stepping on to a movie set. This house was definately built for entertaining. The indoor pool table, private pool, and tennis courts kept our family entertained all weekend. There are so many indoor and outdoor chill areas I recommend bringing your yoga mat, and hammock to fully enjoy the amazing yard and watch for the beautiful free roaming deer.

The house is gorgeous and spacious, surrounded by beautiful landscaping, deer and overlooking downtown San Antonio, in the distance.
It was clean and beds were comfortable and sheets soft.
The check in process was easy and stress free.
There is another smaller house on the property that they rent out, but they are very upfront with that and wasn’t an issue with us, because we never saw them.
The location is great and close to major highways, lots of restaurants and shopping.

Beautiful and Peaceful!
Beautiful property in the middle of San Antonio. Plenty of space in the house for entertaining. We had deer in the back yard every day and a family of foxes visited one morning. Edgar was very helpful with a minor internet issue and was readily available for any questions. Good communication with the owner as well. The location was excellent with easy access to many attractions, shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful. Stunning. My family and a few friends stayed here Feb. 20-23, 2020. We could not have been more pleased. The home is gorgeous and the property is incredible. It is more breathtaking than the pictures show. The owner was very attentive and quick to respond to any questions. The on site caretaker was also very polite and helpful. 5 stars doesn’t do this property justice.

Over the Christmas/New Year period, ten family members ranging from 5 to 80 years old had a most memorable time in this wonderful home and stunning setting of magnificent live oaks. It had everything we could have wished for - just as described on line. The location was perfect with easy access to shopping and places of interest. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful, a pleasure to communicate with and very accommodating. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

When looking for a place to stay for our Dad’s 80th Birthday in San Antonio in July we had 2 must haves, a pool and enough space. The property is stunning amongst the oak trees. We rented both houses and had family come in from all around the country to join us. Both houses are very spacious with plenty of areas for people to sleep. If you’re looking for something new and fancy this probably isn’t the place. If you’re looking to create memories that will last a lifetime amongst family and friends this is your spot. It is such a peaceful location yet near anything you need in San Antonio. Working with the owner and the property manager was so easy and they were always quick to respond to any requests or questions. If you have any intentions of having a family gathering in San Antonio this is where you need to stay.
