About this property

Container Home Private Elevator to Skyline Rooftop Views, Two Blocks from Pearl!

This completely private 3 bedroom 3 story townhouse includes a private rooftop deck, 3 1/2 bathrooms, and an elevator! Just two blocks away from the north end of the River Walk (Museum Reach) and Pearl complex, this home is easily one of the best Vrbo locations in the city. Use our projector and have a movie night on the rooftop while enjoying the Texas weather or challenge your family to a ping pong tournament in the game room. At 2680 sq ft, your group will love the spacious layout of the home and all of our amenities! Walk over and enjoy some Mexican food at La Gloria's or a cocktail at Sternewirth or Southerleigh. There are so many choices in restaurants and shops within an easy walking distance or hop on the Riverwalk for a stroll to downtown.

The Space:
Not only is this home completely private and in an amazing location, it's also one of the more unique homes in the city. The house was built out of 9 repurposed shipping containers making it stronger, pest-proof, and more eco-friendly than your typical San Antonio rental. We take full advantage of the design of this house. The private rooftop deck is a perfect place to enjoy the weather. We even provide a movie projector and screen that will allow you to watch a night-time movie while taking in the San Antonio skyline. Relax on the hammock as the projector streams live sports or your favorite movie. There is a mini-fridge and a gas grill on the rooftop as well, making the time you spend there even more memorable!

The inside of the house is stylish and has everything you and your group needs during your visit to SA! Every bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, which is rare. The first floor is where you will enter the house via keypad. There you will find a bedroom with a king bed, the washer and dryer and our garage-game room. When it's too hot or cold to enjoy the rooftop, spend some time challenging your friends or family to a game of ping pong or play one of our metal board games! This bonus space is sure to keep your group entertained between outings. You can choose to either go up the stairs or the private elevator from here! The 2nd story contains two additional bedrooms, with a King and Queen bed respectively and full bathrooms. If you're working from home, we have a desk and printer with high-speed internet available. The third story is the kitchen and living area. With a 65 inch smart TV and furniture that's thoughtfully laid out, it's a great spot to watch TV with your group or play one of our many board or card games! The kitchen is packed with high-quality kitchenware. From the pots and pans to the utensils, you will find all our kitchen equipment clean and plentiful. There is plenty of seating at the dining room table and the huge kitchen island so prepping and enjoying a meal with your group will be a great experience! There is also a half bath, walk-in pantry, and both a Keurig and standard coffee maker! We provide plenty of coffee for you too!

When creating this get-away, we tried to think of everything! From fun games and activities to high-quality amenities such as TVs equipped with Roku in guest mode, coffee, and a whole home speaker system. Of course, this includes cleaning as well. We have some of the best vacation rental cleaners in SA and unlike other hosts, we have all our bedding professionally washed between our guests! Make this your home away from home.

San Antonio Spring Break

This was our second time staying at this property and we are already planning for trip number three. Juli is the consummate host, with clear, helpful, and timely communication from booking through departure. The location is perfect for exploring the Pearl District. The home is very comfortable with great amenities, and stocked above and beyond any other home rental we have experienced. We cannot recommend highly enough for families visiting San Antonio.

Exceeds high expectations

On VRBO, it looked almost too good to be true. Perfect location, walking distance from the Pearl, convenient to downtown, etc. These owners give you all the info you need to get checked in and situated. They were also extremely responsive whenever we had questions. The property is clean and spacious and easy to navigate. The elevator was a blessing in getting to the various floors. We highly recommend!

A great visit!

First time visiting San Antonio. The house was immaculate and very well-stocked with various supplies. The setting and design of the house was perfect for us. It's a short walk to the Pearl District where there were lots of great restaurants and shops and we really enjoyed the Farmer’s Market on weekend. The Riverwalk is close by, and my husband and I walked the Riverwalk to the downtown area where there were lots of restaurants to choose from. The owner of the house was very accommodating to our arrival and departure schedule, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this house when visiting San Antonio. We hope to visit again.

Fantastic trip - loved this property!

This was our first trip to San Antonio, and we loved it! Our group included myself, my spouse and two other couples. This property was perfect for our group because each couple was able to have their own bathroom and private space. The bedrooms are on separate levels from the kitchen/ living room group area. Juli is an awesome host and provided us with a lot of great suggestions since it was our first visit to SA, and answered questions quickly. A couple of things we enjoyed best about this property: extremely clean, beautiful decor, awesome beds, rooftop deck is fun and unique, and the location is only a few blocks walk to get on the Riverwalk. Fabulous experience- we would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends!

821 Park Place

This is a wonderful property! Clean, plenty of space for at least 6 adults, everything you could possibly need (including Kleenex, shampoo, soap, conditioner, laundry soap, to-grind coffee and k cups, baggies, aluminum foil… things you often have to supply yourself), electronic everything (entry, shades, tv, fans), good internet, and a great location near the Pearl and downtown riverwalk. The owners are responsive immediately if you have questions or need recommendations. We arrived to boxes of Christmas cookies, tvs set to holiday YouTube images with Christmas carols, and colored lights on the top deck. There is no usable yard but the top deck is lovely. Unfortunately it was too cold for us to use the grill, small frig, sink and counters, family size table, sofas, hammock and movie lcd projector. We will definitely be back if family gathers in San Antonio again.

Exquisite and Spacious

We truly enjoy our stay at this unique and remarkable home. I was looking for a unique experience for my adult children from Canada and Tucson, AZ to spend time together in San Antonio. This house is a hidden gem within a 10-minute walk to the Pearl district (and their Saturdays Farmers market), the Riverwalk, fine dining restaurants and entertainment. The house is very spacious and furnished with taste and all conveniences required for making meals and staying connected. The rooftop patio is fabulous. Perfect for our morning coffee before heading out for the day, or winding down at nights. Juli was incredibly helpful and responsive. Everything describing the property is accurate. We truly enjoyed our stay and would look forward to staying here again!

This location begins with the ultimate location, Pearl in walking distance with downtown riverwalk, airport and quarry all a short drive away. Then the property gets even better. Julie and her family have thought of everything! A kitchen with the best of anything you need.including 3 coffee makers and a wine frig! Spacious and comfortable rooms, each with their own AC control. Work area with a printer. Roof top outdoor kitchen and hang out area boasts great views of the city. Game room on the first floor. I wish I could rate it a 6 star. We will certainly return if in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Marcus, Juli, and Alex

Host profile image
We love to travel and explore new cities. We have been 20+ year users of Vrbo to find fun and unique places to stay when we travel. We first traveled to San Antonio in early 2019. We immediately fell in love with the city, the Pearl neighborhood, and the people here. We had a long time dream of having our own vacation rental to share with others and are so excited for you to enjoy this amazing property! As this is our vacation home and we aren't local to SA, we have Marcus and Alex to help you with any questions, issues or things you may need while at the house. They do an amazing job of caring for our house and our guests! We truly love San Antonio and hope that you will fall in love with it and our neighborhood as well. Take some time to walk and explore the area close to the house - Pearl, all the restaurants and shops, the Riverwalk. It won't disappoint!

Why they chose this property

Our house hit all the points that we were looking for in a great place to spend our time in San Antonio. The location cannot be beat with a short walk to Pearl or to jump on the Museum Reach portion of the Riverwalk. We enjoy walking downtown on the Riverwalk - stopping at Elsewhere for a break or cocktail along the way! We have visited often but still are finding new amazing restaurants and experiences with each trip. We enjoy the privacy of each bedroom having it's own bathroom when we have our friends or family along with us for a trip. Our favorite spot is to relax on the rooftop deck enjoying the lights of downtown or taking a nap in the hammock. As we have visited many vacation rentals over the years, we tried to take that experience to add things that we hope will make you more comfortable during your time at the house - if you have suggestions for other things that would be helpful, please let us know!

What makes this property unique

We think our home is one of the most unique in San Antonio. This is a container home which consists of 9 recycled shipping containers stacked three across and three high. It's a fun chance to stay in a home different than any you've experienced.
