Eclectic, fun stay, if not too picky
We had a good time with two families. Young kids had fun playing hide and seek. Manager was great about cleaning the pool before we arrived. Super responsive to questions. Property is dated for sure—if you are looking for luxury or hotel-level cleanliness and niceness, this isn’t it. But if you want to have fun with a lot of character,, it was great.

Amazing stay!
I have stayed at several VRBO properties over the years, and this one has been my favorite. It is a huge house with space for everyone. It is a convenient location close to the airport in the heart of the city. The house is an eclectic place with wonderful interesting art throughout. There is a statue of Ganesha at the top of the stairs, and interesting Asian art in the upstairs living room. There is a huge pool outside and just a fantastic outdoor covered space with a bar and grill which is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen is spectacular, and we were able to cook dinner there a number of times. There are 2 large dining areas. This really had everything we could ask for. If you are looking for a unique and different VRBO stay, this is your place.

Cool house!
Stayed with kids and grandkids over spring break. This is not your typical rental. There are many cool artifacts and art from around the world. Everything is well stocked and the property manager lives on site, so its easy to get help. The kids loved exploring all the nooks and crannies. The pool was chilly since it was still March, but we loved it anyway! Would stay again!

Great host for a family get together during the holidays.
Every year, the family travels somewhere to be together over the holidays. This year we pick San Antonio. The home suited all of our needs size and amenities. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to use the pool or even enjoy sitting out often. But there were plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and our host decorated the house, including a fully decorated Christmas tree. Access to the home was easy. Its location to town, and the amusements of San Antonio was great. I’m sorry. , bathrooms, and our host decorated the house, including a fully decorated Christmas tree. Access to the home was easy.

Fun in the sun :)
We had an amazing family reunion at La Casa. The property is very unique, spacious, eclectic, in a great location (close to so many things) and so much fun. The pool is huge and the palapa and large porch are great places to kick back and relax. We had an issue with the refrigerator not cooling sufficiently when we arrived so we contacted the property manager about it. She came by to take a look that evening and had a new fridge for us the very next morning!!! We were blown away by her responsiveness and attentiveness. We hope to have the opportunity to stay at La Casa again sometime. We had an unforgettable stay :)

We had girls coming in from all over the country so this was a great location being so close to the airport. The house is eclectic, but it’s part of the experience and we all enjoyed it! HUGE house with a bunch of space and a beautiful backyard with a great pool and palapa. Madeleine was the property manager and she was very responsive to any and all needs. Would do again!

Needs major TLC!
What I liked: Large House with room to spread out. Large pool was nice. Outdoor patio was large and shaded. What I didn't like: Decor in the living room was dated and uncomfortable. Bathroom in primary upstairs suite was very outdated, drawers at the vanity were dirty inside so that we stored everything on the counter. I'm not sure about the other bathrooms. Numerous drawers didn't open and close without falling off the slider. The steam shower didn't work and was an amenity that we were looking forward to. The futon was urine stained which was covered with a sheet. Why are these things not replaced when old, soiled, and worn out? The TV's only worked for live TV, so we could watch films, kid shows, etc. that were offered on Netflix, Hulu, etc. The refrigerator stopped cooling correctly after the first night. While we were there, a repairman came and spent most of the day working on replacing needed parts. It still wasn't cooling properly and the repairman, while polite and wanting to help, interrupted our meals, and the chef we had hired to make several meals. This issue lasted the entire stay. Chef Mark was definitely the highlight of our time at the house. He was an excellent chef, personable, and worked tirelessly even though he had to use the bar mini-fridge and outdoor kitchen fridge to help keep food from spoiling. The property needs a thorough cleaning and maintenance overhaul. Appliances and systems should be tested and working well before guests arrive, not trying to fix them once the house is occupied. As furniture wears out, it should be replaced. Floors left feet black on the bottom from inadequate cleaning.

Great 2022 family vacation
This was a great house for our group of 7 adults and 5 children. Everyone really liked the large pool and outdoor palapa. The theater room also got a lot of use. Grocery store and liquor stores and everything else we needed were within 1-2 miles. We were in 4 vehicles and had room for them as well. We were out doing activities during the day and playing in the pool at night. The property manager was very responsive to my texts, always responding within seconds.

Outstanding weekend
There is nothing I could even begin to not like about this place and stay. From our arrival and call from Madeline to see if we wanted a tour and to ask if we have any questions and when I did text her to ask questions I got answers immediately. The beds were comfortable, showers were great, kitchen was more than fully stocked and awesome, Pool and Gazebo was so awesome didn't want to go anywhere. It was an awesome weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday, I got major kuddos for the weekend, but it was the house that pulled it off.!

My wife, daughter, and some bridesmaids stayed at la casa elegante to be near the wedding venue and to have enough space for hair and makeup and dressing before the wedding. The home was unique, and also large and comfortable for everyone to have the space needed and i thank Sheila for being very easy to work with and for sharing this beautiful and unique home with us on my daughters special day.

Good Stay
Overall the stay was good, the pool was the blessing as the kids get to enjoy the water after such a long time. Just had small issues like we had to manage without pack and play though it was mentioned the property has it and there were no body wash in the bathrooms (it was provided after a day but miostly it had water in it and no soap). Other than that we had a good time.

Pool was great
Our overall experience was good.. We spent the majority of the time outside at the pool.. Outside wise seemed like it was kept up with cleaning wise.. the little cabana area needed to be wiped down and there was things spilled on the floor that seemed to have been there for a while. 1st day lots of leaves/ flower looking things floating in the pool.. pool guy came and cleaned the next day so water was perfect after that.. House itself has a strong odor of old people.. Microwave is just there for show, so we had to use the oven to heat up leftover foods. We were able to use the washer and dryer after asking the owner to access to it.. Owner lives on sight so that was super uncomfortable for us.. She gave us a walk thru of the home, which wasn't the best and something we were not at all use to. . However she was very nice and helpful when needed with a few issues in the home. Overall we don't think the amount of money we were charged was worth it.. Nice home if your into art and antiques.. Pool was honestly the best thing out of the house.. kids had a blast in it everyday, so that's all that mattered
