What guests think
Across reviews of Historic Home with Yard Near St Marys Strip!, travellers consistently praise the central, walkable location near the River Walk, Pearl, and St. Mary’s Strip, as well as the comfortable interior, quality beds, and tasteful, updated decor.
Most guests find the home clean, though a few note missed spots in the kitchen cabinets or counters. Outdoor areas and yard maintenance vary by stay, while the deck and fenced yard are appreciated by travelers with dogs. Common drawbacks include limited storage or shelving in the bathroom and no closets, occasional early-morning noise from the adjacent post office, and mixed communication responsiveness from the manager. Overall, expect a comfortable base in a prime neighborhood with a few practical trade-offs.

This property perfectly met our needs, including the fenced in backyard for the dog. I made a low fuss holiday meal without any trouble. We were comfortable in the cottage and enjoyed being walking distance to entertainment.

This is a quaint, old style home in a popular area of town. We happened to stay there during a heat wave which is very taxing on the air conditioning system when there's little to no insulation in the attic. Owner was great and had a service tech come out the evening we arrived. A few things to note: the yards are in horrible shape, over grown and high weeds with stickers (not abnormal for SA VRBOs for some reason). The house was clean except for the kitchen which had dirty stove & countertops (sticky). There are NO closets and the bathroom doesn't have shelving or countertops for your toiletries, etc. I have full faith that the owner will improve the issues with the home and will make it a great place to stay. For us, it was good enough for our needs and we were able to enjoy our graduation weekend in SA.

The outside of the house was pretty shocking to drive up too. Everything is overgrown, dirty and run down. The inside looked like they tried to fix it up but it was lacking common comforts like a closet, a place to hang your clothes, a shelf to put a bar of soap on in the shower, an extra blanket, a mirror, iron or coffee. The back yard was just overgrown weeds. It wasn’t horrible but we were disappointed for sure.

We loved our stay at the house! Very comfortable setting, listing looked just like the photos, and we were able to easily access everything we wanted to see in SA. Our only downside was the overgrown backyard, though we loved having a doggy door for our pup.

Several reviews said the yard was overgrown, but it was well kept for our stay. There’s lots of brush lining the yard, which made it very private. The house was immaculate. The only complaint we had was about storage in the bathroom/shower. We absolutely loved the location. So many great restaurants within walking distance. We took full advantage of that.

Grass in front and back looked like it had not been cut in weeks, dogs were not happy with that and made it difficult for potty breaks. No where to place anything near bathroom sink or in shower. Night stand only on one side of bed, so had to put glasses, phone, water on floor beside bed. Remote to turn light and fan on in bedroom didn’t work.

Location, location, location! This cottage was the perfect distance for Alamo, Riverwalk, & Pearl activities & just far enough to be quiet. The space was charming. The gate was broken so I was nervous to let our dog out. The inside cabinets & drawers could use a bit of tidying (crumbs, ect) but overall we were quite happy with this sweet little house.

Darling cottage less that 2 miles from everything. Was able to walk to church and to many restaurants. The two queen beds were high quality with a memory foam built in. Very comfortable! The kitchen had top of the line appliances and the updated bathroom had a huge rain shower head. The built in Roku TV was large and very convenient. Enjoyed sitting on the back deck and letting our small dogs enjoy the fenced yard. I definitely would stay here again and highly recommend it.

Place was nice but the parking/ yard was a not great. The trash cans block the drive up so only one car fits in the drive, the yard was not desirable. The house was exactly how they portrayed.

The house was clean and kitchen updated. I was surprised that there were absolutely no staples in the kitchen: salt, pepper, cooking spray, etc. No ice in the freezer. And no dishwasher soap or shower soap. If my granddaughter wasn’t living close by, I would have had to buy a lot of items. The property manager was good about reimbursement for the broken coffee pot.

We absolutely loves this charming little house, it was clean and very comfy. Loved that it is in an established neighborhood and appears to be upcoming. Lots of local flavor with restaurants within walking distance. Wonderful breakfast at El Milagrito and if you want a burger, Tycoon Flats is has a burger for everyone and if you catch them, live music too. Down the road from both of these establishments plenty of other food and coffee choices. We also had a special treat as there was a community bike ride on St. Mary’s and that was super to see all the neighbors on bikes, trikes, bikes with babies, bikes with puppies. It was a local affair fun and festive. We were here for the eclipse so had several days prior to explore the city. Riverwalk and the Alamo of course along with off the beaten path neighborhoods and shops. Excellent BBQ wherever you go…we did not have a bad meal once. The property has everything that you need. If you cook, everything you need is there, if you don’t, take a walk to one of the local establishments. The house is clean, airy and was easy to get to. Owner checked in just before we did and let us know if we needed anything to reach out. Overall, wonderful stay, wonderful city, and would recommend.

Our family of four stayed here for a long weekend and enjoyed our stay. The home was as described and the location great. I only issues we had were on check in with the old fashioned key holder and a couple of issues with the furniture. I emailed the management company and never heard back. The dining table top is not attached to the base and the glass coffee table was about to break- we only discovered this with our small children while trying to use a portable high chair on the table and with them using the coffee tables for toys. Other than this, and the occasional noisy car at 2 am, the house was great. I would just say it’s best for families or renters without small kiddos.

This home in the historic Tobin Hill location is perfectly located for exploring one of San Antonio's most bustling entertainment districts, the Saint Mary's strip. Tons of local-centric restaurants and bars within walking distance -- with live music venues close by. This is the neighborhood where San Antonians go for great drinks and food -- not the tourist-centric spots at the Pearl. House is well-furnished and decorated with personality. Do be aware that it shares a fence with a Post Office hub and if you're a light sleeper, you may want earplugs to drown out the pre-dawn noise of trucks loading up to head out on their routes.

This is such a cute cottage that is less than 2 miles from everything. Our favorite hangouts were Nola Brunch and Beignets, and The Pour House. Both just around the corner within walking distance. The kitchen had top of the line appliances and granite countertops. The bathroom was also updated with tile and new fixtures, including a huge rain shower head. Both queen mattresses were very high end memory foam.

A few things to note: the yards are in horrible shape, over grown and high weeds with stickers (not abnormal for SA VRBOs for some reason). The house was clean except for the kitchen which had dirty stove & countertops (sticky). There are NO closets and the bathroom doesn't have shelving or countertops for your toiletries, etc. I have full faith that the owner will improve the issues with the home and will make it a great place to stay.

Our stay at this historic home was wonderful. The property itself was beautiful, in a great location & very comfortable. The communication with the property manager however was really poor. I contacted her 3 times in advance of our arrival with a query, but only heard from her a few hours before we were due to check into the property. My query was in relation to whether it were possible to have a pack & play at the property for my 2 year old, & while the listing doesn’t have this as an available amenity, the property owner herself contacted me & arranged to have one available for us at the property which we were so grateful for. We appreciate that she went above & beyond to do this for us - thank you.

We absolutely loves this charming little house, it was clean and very comfy. Loved that it is in an established neighborhood and appears to be upcoming. Lots of local flavor with restaurants within walking distance. Wonderful breakfast at El Milagrito and if you want a burger, Tycoon Flats is has a burger for everyone and if you catch them, live music too. Down the road from both of these establishments plenty of other food and coffee choices. We also had a special treat as there was a community bike ride on St. Mary’s and that was super to see all the neighbors on bikes, trikes, bikes with babies, bikes with puppies. It was a local affair fun and festive. We were here for the eclipse so had several days prior to explore the city. Riverwalk and the Alamo of course along with off the beaten path neighborhoods and shops. Excellent BBQ wherever you go…we did not have a bad meal once. The property has everything that you need. If you cook, everything you need is there, if you don’t, take a walk to one of the local establishments. The house is clean, airy and was easy to get to. Owner checked in just before we did and let us know if we needed anything to reach out. Overall, wonderful stay, wonderful city, and would recommend.

This property perfectly met our needs, including the fenced in backyard for the dog. I made a low fuss holiday meal without any trouble. We were comfortable in the cottage and enjoyed being walking distance to entertainment.

Great little house in a central location, everything you need! Clean, nice kitchen and hot shower. The only drawback is the post office parking next door is busy at 2 and 3 in the morning.

This home in the historic Tobin Hill location is perfectly located for exploring one of San Antonio's most bustling entertainment districts, the Saint Mary's strip. Tons of local-centric restaurants and bars within walking distance -- with live music venues close by. This is the neighborhood where San Antonians go for great drinks and food -- not the tourist-centric spots at the Pearl. House is well-furnished and decorated with personality. Do be aware that it shares a fence with a Post Office hub and if you're a light sleeper, you may want earplugs to drown out the pre-dawn noise of trucks loading up to head out on their routes.

Several reviews said the yard was overgrown, but it was well kept for our stay. There’s lots of brush lining the yard, which made it very private. The house was immaculate. The only complaint we had was about storage in the bathroom/shower. We absolutely loved the location. So many great restaurants within walking distance. We took full advantage of that.

Location, location, location! This cottage was the perfect distance for Alamo, Riverwalk, & Pearl activities & just far enough to be quiet. The space was charming. The gate was broken so I was nervous to let our dog out. The inside cabinets & drawers could use a bit of tidying (crumbs, ect) but overall we were quite happy with this sweet little house.

Inside of home was good. It has been remodeled and was generally clean. Outside is shabby both front and back. Neighborhood is okay, generally quiet with good coffee and food nearby.
