Charming Family Friendly Home Near Area Attractions

Dear Traveler to San Antonio,

Do you need a place to stay that is affordable, yet attractive and spacious? Would you like to be within a short drive of many area attractions? Do you travel with small children who need special amenities? If any of the above apply to you, we would like to have the privilege of hosting you on your next trip to San Antonio.

Our home is a one-story, renovated ranch-style house located in a quiet, residential neighborhood on the north side of San Antonio. North Star Mall is two blocks away, the airport -5 minutes, the Alamo and Riverwalk area -15 minutes, and Fiesta Texas and Sea World - 25 minutes.

We really enjoyed living in this home for 11 years. We try to maintain an allergen free environment - no carpeting or drapes. The décor is an eclectic collection of antiques and flea market treasures. The living room bookcase has toys, books, a family-appropriate collection of videos and DVD's, and music CD's.

Our kitchen is fully equipped, and the dining room has an eleven foot table at which 12 people can sit comfortably. We will provide booster seats and high chairs if needed. The pantry is stocked with basic cooking ingredients and the refrigerator is stocked with bottled water, juices and sodas.

The French doors from the dining room open to a large patio and fenced yard. Three large trees provide shade (very important in South Texas). Children can enjoy swings, tricycles, a basketball hoop, tetherball and other fun outdoor toys. Try out our Weber grill!

All our beds have comfortable mattresses and we also have a sleeper sofa (ideally for children) and a queen air mattress. We will provide a porta-crib if needed. The master bath has a shower only, but the guest bath has a tub/shower combination. The utility room is stocked with laundry detergent, fabric softener, bleach and dryer sheets.

The garage is converted, but the shady driveway has space for two vehicles.

San Antonio has many interesting places to see. Our favorites are the Alamo and River Walk, and the Tower of the Americas with it's 4D "Skies over Texas" ride and adjacent Water Gardens. San Antonio has a wonderful Zoo on the banks of the San Antonio River. Adjacent to the zoo is a miniature railroad which is 2 ½ miles long and goes through a tunnel. If you like plants, don't miss seeing the Botanical Gardens with their soaring, futuristic glass enclosures. If you would like to visit the Zoo or Botanical Gardens, we will see that you enter for FREE!!!

If you think our home might serve your needs, please email us or give us a call. We've been welcoming guests for two years, and we look forward to hearing from you!
