Historic Home w/ Lush Gardens; Military Discount

This review is a little late, but I stopped to stay there in the middle of a move out west to attend my son's Air Force graduation. Shirley (the owner) was very accommodation and did everything she said she would. There were no surprised. The house was in great condition and very clean. The house had plenty of kitchen items, towels and internet service. It was very nice to have a garage to park in. I've stayed at many vacation rentals and feel this one is above average. I would stay there again. The neghborhood is an older neighborhood, but felt safe. We had no problems during our 5 days there.

We stayed for five nights with two adults and four children between the ages of 3 and 13. The house is in a great historic neighborhood that seems to be up and coming. The house had everything we needed, tons of room, and was very close to parks, an outdoor pool, downtown attractions, groceries, and restaurants. We went to Sea World, the Alamo and riverwalk, El Mercado, and took a trolley tour and, on the last night of our vacation, we asked the big kids what their favorite thing was about the San Antonio trip. They all said, "THE HOUSE!"

It's so much better than staying in two hotel rooms--we were able to drive to all of the things we wanted to see and do and then get away from it all at the end of the day by returning to a beautiful home and yard. The adults enjoyed a glass of wine on the porch in the evenings, the beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of towels, sheets, dishes, and utensils. Bring a cord for your laptop to plug into the modem.

Other reviewers have noted that there is a small cottage in the back that comes with the rental--the property manager lives in the cottage now, so it is not used by guests anymore.

We loved our stay and would definitely recommend "Grandma's House" to anyone looking for a vacation rental in San Antonio!

We spent a week with my 3 adult children, my son's girlfriend, son in law, ex-wife and young son, my brother and a family friend and had an absolute blast. Indeed, the front porch is great for people watching, the back yard offered room for BBQ, picture taking, great conversation for my extended family and our guests. The servants quarters accommodated my ex and her son perfectly as the boy really enjoyed the loft. Halloween night was exceptionally fun with all the visitors. There have been reviews that the neighborhood is "sketchy." It’s just an older neighborhood that doesn't have a HOA dictating everything. It just has... character. Enjoy... we surely did.
