Beautiful Gardens & Cozy Cottage

Just 2 of us stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed it. The gardens out back were a beautiful place to sit with a cup of tea. Everything was clean, worked, and host replies fast. The only drawback for me was no microwave- only a mini fridge and coffee maker, so be prepared to eat out entirely.

SA Stay

Blue House was a great spot for a weekend getaway with my spouse. It's in a convenient location—walking distance to the Riverwalk and easy to get to overall. As Dallas Stars fans, we would’ve appreciated larger TVs for watching the playoff games, but that’s a minor detail. Everything else was excellent. We’d definitely recommend it and would stay again!

Excellent Location and Price

I've stayed all over the riverwalk area, but this place is among one of my places. It's perfectly split between La Villita and King William, and it's on a quiet street. I plan to stay here again.

Super Cute and Convenient

This place was great! We like to walk, a lot, and were able to walk to all the places we wanted to see. Riverwalk access is easily a 5 minute walk away and in the other direction there were come cute cafes and coffee shops we were able to walk to in about 8-10 minutes. The unit itself was quite and cute.

Very nice apartment. Clean and close to so many attractions. I had hoped for more of a kitchenette. The mattress may need replaced soon. The patio area was not ready for guests, but otherwise a very nice stay.

Arbors on the River Walk…Simply Magnificent

Arrived at the quaint Blue House suite on Friday night. Walked over to Dean’s Steakhouse for dinner. Excellent food, atmosphere and vibrant and fun wait staff. Loved the suite. Very cozy yet contemporary at the same time. Excellent coffee left for us. We entertained a long time friend in the sitting room. It was a wonderful place to chat and reminisce about our younger days. Bed was very comfortable, area was extremely quiet and tidy. Everything was close by and many choice activities to choose from. Thought being so close to the River Walk that it would be noisy with non stop bustling. Very serene. Lovely court yard with a magnificent fountain. It was lit at night and it was completely charming. Layout of and amenities in the bathroom were so convenient. Makeup table with mirror, full length mirror and lots of light. The entire place was perfect. Much character and charm. Cannot wait to book there again!!

Great location!

Quiet neighborhood, comfortable bed, easy walk to the convention center, Alamo, and Southtown. As previously noted by another reviewer, there are 3 rooms in the building and all use the same key for the front door and rooms. There are deadbolts and chains inside the rooms for when you are inside, but other guests can potentially enter your room when you are not there. All that said, we have stayed here twice and would stay again as the location is so convenient.

Stay at blue House.

The location was convenient for seeing the Alamo & Riverwalk. We arrived after 10 pm. Security and or safety was a little concerning, because the vehicle next to where we parked, had its passenger window broken out. We did not have any issues.

Excellent accommodations and location

I stayed at this location alone during a conference at the Grand Hyatt which was about a 15 minute walk away (which I enjoyed through the nearby park). Outside the apartment was well lit which felt important because it did feel like I was just starting to get on the outskirts of the main action in the area. Cleanliness, decor, space, amenities all felt great. The bed was very comfortable. Location was excellent. I walked to the conference, to the River Walk, to downtown, to restaurants nearby and to the park with an awesome ice cream spot called Lick. It was a very fun trip! One note is the construction that is going on nearby. Another heads up, when people come in and out of the building, my locked apartment door would crash loudly, scared me the first time but then I knew what it was. First time to San Antonio. I will be back next year for the same conference and plan on staying here again!

Great space and experience

I was very happy to see that the unit actually matched the pics and description on VRBO site. I had arrived a few minutes early and the property manager happened to be there and let me in early. This unit is in the back and upstairs so the construction across the street in the front did not disturb me at all or interrupt from my remote work. Room was decorated very tastefully and had everything you could need (including robes!). Very clean throughout. Housekeeper (Hazel) and property owner (Shawn) very responsive and helpful in answering questions. One block to historic La Villita shops and two blocks to southern loop of Riverwalk as well as close to Southtown shops and restaurants. I felt perfectly safe walking everywhere I needed to go, including the 15 min walk to HEB grocery nearby for wine and snacks, etc., along sidewalk on busy thoroughfare and when returning from Riverwalk in the evenings. I wanted to extend my stay, but they were (understandably) booked all week for the holidays. I plan to return the next time I visit San Antonio.

It was… ok.

The place was charming and clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the location was convenient, but there are a few negatives. The courtyard doesn’t look anything like the pictures. It definitely needs some work - dead plants everywhere, it was overgrown with weeds, messy and filthy. The listing lead us to believe we would have a balcony, which was one of the main reasons we booked this particular house, but it didn’t, so there was no comfortable place to relax outside and that was a big disappointment. The water pressure was very low so I recommend giving yourself some extra time if you have thick hair to wash. One of the main things we didn’t like was that the front and back entry doors and every guest room uses the same exact key, so someone could potentially walk into your room when you’re not there. There was a door chain, however, so at least we felt a little safer while inside the room. There were a few times we found the main entry doors to be unlocked. The host controls the air but responded right away when we arrived and told them the room was a bit on the warm side. They had no problem turning it down for us. All in all, if you’re just looking for a place to lay your head that’s within walking distance to the river walk, etc., and you don’t mind the other stuff, it’s a cool little place to stay. For us personally, we would’ve been more comfortable in a hotel but enjoyed experiencing something different.
