Our family enjoyed our 4 night stay! Great location to the Alamo, Riverwalk and the Quarry. Beautiful and comfortable home, great for a family like ours or a group!
Beautiful property for our family of twelve to begin celebrating the holidays. The host was immediate in responding to inquiries regarding the property prior to our arrival, and went above and beyond in providing additional amenities to accommodate sleeping for our large group.Upon arrival we were greeted with a few treats from the host. This gesture was the start to a great stay where we had easy access to the River Walk area and surrounding beautiful Hill Country towns.Our group tends to plan around eating and had an in-home chef prepare a meal for us one evening. The main dining table very comfortably accommodates 12. If dining out is preferred the restaurant options in the area are plentiful. One of our best experiences was at Ladino where we had a prefix menu due to our group size. The food was plentiful and exceptional.A great area to visit and a comfortable home to stay in.
We rented the house for a girls trip, we had so much fun. The house was awesome, close to downtown. It was a very easy check in. I would stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay at this property. Loved the Spanish style, the location was convenient to all our activities. The quaint backyard was very relaxing. complete
It was a blessing staying at your beautiful home, the amenities and the swimming pool were just what we needed. The location was very convenient and close to the events we we’re attending will definitely consider your property, next time while in San Antonio.
I live in San Antonio, and recently had family come in to visit. We rented this beautiful home and it was delightful. With multiple living areas, a very large kitchen, a game room across from the pool, and a separate “garage apartment” as the 5th room, it was a very nice stay for my family. The host was quick to respond to my questions and there were no issues. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
From the time we arived we were taken back by how beautiful and spacious this house is. There was something for everyone to do here. The kids enjoyed the pool and gameroom. And us adults enjoyed the many chill areas inside and out. This was exactly what we needed. And if we needed anything the host was quick to respond and very helpful.
We were there to celebrate my son graduating from the Air Force Boot Camp. The house worked great with our family. We enjoyed being only 20 minutes away from the Lackland Air Force Base and so close to the Alamo and the Riverwalk. It’s a good location. Great house. They were very easy to get a hold of and if we had any issues at all, they came out and dealt with them immediately wonderful host wonderful house we will be back!!
We loved our stay at this house! Such a fun getaway place! The first day we were there, there were a lot of wasps outside by the pool, but we found some wasp spray at the house and were able to kill most of them. Our second pool day was a lot more enjoyable lol The location was close enough to everything we wanted to do that most things were a quick drive. We are glad we rented a car though simply because it provided a little more flexibility than Uber would have (and also because we drove to a rodeo outside of the city). Overall we enjoyed our stay!
This is a fabulous property and we greatly enjoyed spending our weekend here. We used the property for a business retreat and were happy to see a dining room large enough for the number of adults expected to be staying at the property (which is not common for rentals with more than three bedrooms). There was ample space to spread out when we needed a break and the dining table served as a conference table for our needs. The separate poolhouse is a nice apartment if anyone requires extra privacy and the downstairs area was a great hangout spot for us in the evening. We all really loved this home.
We loved the Spanish style architecture with modern touches and expansive rooms. Pool was filled with leaves and sand at bottom with filter clogged. Games in pool house need repair and door handle in pool house bedroom. Leaves and debris on deck and lawn tables. Lots of other cool games in the home. Large kitchen appliances and televisions.
Loved this house! If you are looking to be within walking distance of San Antonio this is not the place. It’s about a 10-20 mins drive to downtown depending on traffic. It worked perfect for us as we were with 3 other families and needed a place to stay for a cheer competition The backyard is beautiful and we spent a lot of time sitting outside visiting. Don’t let the neighborhood fool you. It is very quiet. However, there is nothing to see or do in that area. There is a HEB close by so we were able to get groceries easily. If we ever need a place to stay with a large group again we will definitely be back!!
This house was different (in a good way). We had planned to do more site seeing and tourist sites BUT the house was just absolutely beautiful and chose to stay on the property for most of our stay lol. Had a few questions and the host was wonderful, got a response within 15 minutes. Would definitely stay here again.
Personal preference** but I wish there was a fenced potty spot for the pups, was not a big deal but kinda inconvenient. & I couldn’t find outlets outdoors to plug in my car charger 😭
This home was perfect for our visit!! Very roomy, fun, lots of options and space for family time with plenty of space for breaking away if anyone needed some space. The kitchen was great and there were so many neat features to the house. There were a few things that could use some love. The outdoor area is overgrown and could use pruning and cleaned up a bit and some of the games were broken and could be replaced. The game room rugs could probably be tossed as they are smelly. I would also recommend dish towels and oven mitts be added to the kitchen. The grill was a great bonus!! Overall this home was exactly what we needed for our visit! Very good and fun experience!
The hosts were wonderful as well and addressed any questions promptly and were very helpful.
Mulberry Oasis - a beautiful home and great location
Our four couples have traveled together for years and stayed at Mulberry Oasis mid-September 2023. The inside of the house is beautiful, spacious, and clean. The large kitchen was fantastic to work in and we barbequed outside as well. On the main floor of the house there are many rooms to read, relax, watch TV, sit, and have meals and/or play games in the large dining room. The spiral staircase and painted ceiling are beautiful. Upstairs in the main house has 3 bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms each have a queen bed and share a large bathroom with a separate tub and shower. The master bedroom is quite large with a queen and king bed; and an ensuite bathroom with a large shower. Our fourth couple took the bedroom/bathroom on the second story of the pool house. The pool and hot tub areas have lots of seating on terraced levels. The house was centrally located for our purposes. About 15 minutes to the airport, 10 minutes to The Riverwalk, Alamo, and Art Museum etc. The house was about 20 minutes from 2 golf courses. There is a large grocery store 5 minutes away. Our host Huasong was always available and responsive to our questions, he was fantastic!
PS We were in San Antonio when it was toasty and the house stayed very cool and comfortable.
We had a huge group in town for an event and needed lots of rooms. This house was...different! Different but fun! It's very charming and has lots of doors and windows. Downstairs has a half bath, 2 living areas, 2 eating areas and a huge kitchen. Upstairs the first section is a suite perfect for a family, but not 2 couples. It has 2 bedrooms and a full bath, all connected. Down the hall there are 2 more bedrooms and a full bath at the end of the hall. Outside there is a game room by the pool with a full bath. Above the game room through a separate upstairs entrance there is a nice 1 bed/1 bath. I hope that description helps as viewers look at pics.
Everything was clean. The lawn crew came by and the yard looked nice. The driveway is really narrow and so are the streets. We managed to pull in 1 truck, 1 SUV, 1 car and 1 smaller SUV. I wouldn't recommended parking on the street.
My only recommendation would be for the A/C be turned on prior to guests checking in. It cooled off quickly and everyone was comfortable once it cooled. We didn't have any washclothes and owner said they will get it corrected with the cleaning staff. Take some just in case.
Overall, it was a great house and we'd rent again for a large party!!!
We had a good stay. This is an older home in a great location. I feel it’s fairly well maintained and has a lot of historical vibes. I would probably stay here again. The house was large had plenty of space.
This is a super cool Spanish house from the 30s with many modern amenities. It has the charm of an older house but the feel of a remodeled/more recent house. The owners were extremely accommodating and responsive throughout the booking process and our stay. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay!
A great property with character to it. The hosts were very informative and responsive, the instructions for the house were clear and well laid out, as well. The location is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the interstate to let you move around San Antonio quickly. I would highly recommend it!
