Historic 1927 Spanish Casita Minutes from our famous DT destinations.

Casita is pet friendly as long as your furs are friendly to casita. And as long as my wonderful guests don’tkeep honoring this, I will not have pet fees. 🐶 For some reason the app is saying casita does not allow pets, but she most definitely does.

Only a few minutes from downtown locations, 15 min from Fiesta Texas and 30 min from SeaWorld, casita is a perfect and safe getaway with the property all to yourself and contactless check in and check out.

Feel the San Antonio culture with this festive, historic Spanish-style 1927 home. This El Mercado inspired home features a cozy interior/exterior with vibrant artwork/decorations thruout. Enjoy a meal or cocktail outside where you'll find a BBQ/pergola area that includes a fire pit and over-sized cedar benches with room for everyone. Entire residence is fenced in. Inside, relax at the bar, dining room or cozy living area.

Additional amenities: Casita is pet friendly as long as your furs are friendly to casita (see pet instructions below). There's a TV in every room, Alexa in stereo inside and out, record player (see care instructions below), Scrabble, Boggle or my fav, Mexican Bingo, quaint work area, faux fireplace, kitchen bar, claw tub in master bath, king bed in master bedroom, queen bed in guest bedroom and a queen-sized blow up mattress. There are also two patios to lounge on as well as the fire pit area and hot tub deck so the hammock. There's free parking all around the residence and the car port can fit 2 cars or trucks comfortably.

You’re close to every one of these hot spots I’m listing. Alamo, Riverwalk, El Mercado, The Pearl area, Southtown, Blue Star Complex, Alamo Heights, Broadway dowtown, SeaWorld, Fiesta Texas and our zoo if you have kids and so much more.

Famous places to eat at, pick up or have delivered include Mi Tierra's, La Margartia, The Original Blanco cafe, Chris Madrids, the Smoke Shack and the Cove to name just a few. There are also a ton of authentic dive Mexican eateries you can check out via take out or delivery. My favorite is just down the street ... El Rafas Cafe. And omg tacos ... you gotta get you some taco take out ‘cause San Antonio has the best tacos on the planet! There’s an awesome authentic taco spot down the street ... Rolando's Super Tacos!

There’s also a local Neighborhood HEB grocery store right down the street.

There’s plenty of delivery options for anything you could want or need. If you aren’t driving to casita but flying in, there‘s a bus stop down the street and car rental, there’s also ride share, that’s always my go to. Whatever option you choose, if you decide to go out, it’ll all be convenient because you are just a few minutes ride to most of the hot spots.

GENERAL HOUSE RULES:
Check in: 4 pm
Check out: 11 am

WiFi: Casa De San Antonio
PW: 2816877726

If you have pets, please ensure there is ZERO evidence your fur babies were ever at Casa De San Antonio. Las Casita es mi preciosa gem. I lived here for 5 years and put a lot of blood, sweat and tears in it. Also the property is fenced, but your furs could figure their way out, so I wouldn’t ever leave them unattended outside.

RECORD PLAYER AND ALBUMS ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN TO HANDLE., but tacos they can handle all they want! AND ADULTS, PLEASE HANDLE THE NEEDLE AND ALBUMS LIKE IT’S YOUR ABUELITA - with extreme care.

CHECK OUT is at 11:00 a.m. Please put all your used towels in the washer or the hamper. No need to strip the sheets, we will take care of that. Wash, dry and put away any used dishes. Be sure to close the hot tub lid and the security gate on your way out.

For guests with extended stays: Recycle day (blue bin)is every Mon. Trash day (back bin) - every Thurs.

HOT TUB USE: Remove cover when in use, put it back on when not in use. To operate the control panel, keep temp at 99-102 degrees by pressing the + and – button. The button next to that, press it once to turn the hot tub on, press again to turn it off. Press the light button next to that button to turn on the lights when using at night, press it again to turn it off when not using. Do NOT touch the last button.

Thank you so much for your care and respect of my home.

Additional things to know about casita:

To get Alexa to work outside, look inside the bar, there’s a black box with buttons on it. Press the patio button and Alexa will join you outside. Same for the master bathroom. Don’t forget to switch it back to the kitchen and living room if you want to hear her inside. There is also a a little black remote control for lighting the bar inside up.

I have string lights in the back area around the car port, pergola and bbq pit roof. There are two plugs you can plug in by the car port where the bird house is hanging. You can keep them plugged in every night if you’d like. They are so pretty when they are on at night.
There’s a security camera outside by the back door.

This is an old home, 1927, and although everything has been updated, it’s still an old historic home and things won’t function exactly like a brand new home.

Home Away From Home
At first we thought the neighborhood was a little sketchy (we got there at night) but realized it was just a much older neighborhood, close to downtown. It was quiet at night. We loved the fenced in yard, just wish the 2 gate entrances and the car gate would have locked. We fixed that by zip tying the 2 gates and the car gate at night. We loved the spa and TV. Very relaxing. The house was very homey and it was a plus that our dogs came too. There are several great eateries; The Hut Diner, Chris Madrid's and a great taco place literally 3 min from the house. The refrigerator did go out but Dena replaced it that evening. A little inconvenience but it was corrected as quickly as possible. Overall it was a great stay and Dena was a fantastic host. I would absolutely stay here again.

Comfortable Home, Great Location
The Casa de San Antonio was perfect for us! The location is close to the Riverwalk, centrally located to many other attractions and restaurants. Off street covered/gated parking is a plus. The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable and decorated charmingly. The king bed is extra comfortable. The Casa is well stocked with many, many extras. Our fur babies enjoyed the fenced yard. We loved the Casa and will definitely return again. Thank you Dena for being a wonderful host!

Charming and Comfortable Home
Absolutely wonderful stay at the casita. The home is beautiful with historical details along with all the modern amenities. I have a list of items I want to add to our own home from ceiling fans to pillows and a bean bag chair one furry pup adored. This home away from home has it all. The master bedroom bed is so comfortable I eagerly went to bed and dreaded getting up in the morning. Yet, the aroma of coffee brewing in the kitchen drew me in. The kitchen is so well laid out and has all the items needed to make a stay easy. We appreciated all the small touches from Alexa for music to smart tvs for our viewing pleasure. A stay here is well worth a trip to San Antonio on its own. The Alamo and River Walk are cool too.

Smell ruined our weekend
I booked this rental for a weekend getaway with my partner and was really looking forward to relaxing at the house. Upon arrival I was hit with an overwhelming smell inside the house. It was the smell of a dead rodent. I immediately contacted the owner. She did reply quickly but only offered spray to help and to send a handy man but Honestly I could not find exactly where the smell was coming from only that it was in the kitchen. It was so strong I had to open doors to try to air it out (at 8:00pm) so we decided to get in the hot tub but it did not seem to warm up. The master bed was great! We definitely could not stay inside the house the next day with the smell so we had to leave and only come back the change. We did turn the hot tub on early in the day and checked much later that evening but still not warm so we didn’t get to use it at all. The smell was still prominent on the third day. Very unfortunate loss of could have been a relaxing weekend.

Nice Stay at a Cute Casita
This was a nicely located property in a neighborhood with active dog walkers. We enjoyed sitting on the porch immensely, and our dogs LOVED the yard. Although, as Dena says, it would be easy for "escape artist" dogs to get out. The hot tub was nice, and the space was well equipped for a low-key gathering of a small group of people - bonus points for the record player, alexa controls, and karaoke macine! Thank you, Dena!
