Exceptionally clean, cozy, perfect house equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay in San Marcos. The quality of the beds, towels and linens were wonderful! Great location, close to everywhere we wanted to go. Yes, there is a train behind the house, but it honestly did not bother us at all... it is a no horn zone, and it sounded more like a mild rumble. The neighborhood has quite a bit of renovations happening, but it would not deter me from staying here again. We felt safe and comfortable the entire week. Definitely highly recommend staying here!

Charming weekend stay

I stayed with my 2 dogs and the home looked small from the outside, but the inside was very roomy. TBH I spent a lot of time on the back porch with the dogs. They enjoyed the backyard and the resting on the porch. The temps were cool enough to stay out for extended periods of time. I would 100% recommend this stay.

Great Property!

This house was exactly what we needed while we were in town with our friends and dogs. The property was really clean, well stocked, and super close to everything. We appreciated the quality of linens, cooking utensils, and small details that made our stay perfect. The host was also very easy to get in touch with and checked in often. Yes, there’s a train behind the house, but it wasn’t a bother because it’s a no horn zone. The neighborhood is transitional, but we saw many of the neighbors and felt extremely safe there. It absolutely would not deter us from coming back. Overall, one of our better rental experiences!
