Wonderful home. The accommodations were great and our stay in San Antonio was much more memorable because we were able to recharge after a long outing in the city every day. Would definitely recommend this property and the owner for anyone looking for a comfortable, worry free stay in such a beautiful city.

Precious home, all bedrooms are separate and private, well stocked kitchen, large dining table, comfortable sofas in living area, spacious bedrooms and 3 private bathrooms. I look forward to returning for our next visit and staying here again!

Quality Family Time in Downtown San Antonio

Our family met in San Antonio for a weekend together to see Nate Bargatze at the Majestic Theater and spend some quality time together. The home was perfect for us, and the Hot Tub was a great way to relax at the end of the day! Thanks so much to the host for the amenities you left for us, it was a great weekend!!

Friends couples getaway

Our first trip to Texas! The house was very nice, better than the pictures! Spacious rooms, bathrooms and living space! We enjoyed relaxing on the porch and walked around the neighborhood in the morning. It’s centrally located, quick access to the River Walk and Downtown. The owners were great, extremely helpful with recommending restaurants, and were extremely kind!

Fantastic house, great location!

My group of friends visits a different city every year for board games and dining, and this house was a perfect location for us. The house was clean, well stocked, and the bedrooms had good separation from each other, which is nice for a group of adults who wake up at different times. The upstairs bedroom is loft style without aa door on the staircase, but the hosts thoughtfully supplied a white noise machine. I would still recommend that if you have one couple who sleeps late, they pick a different bedroom. Jerry responded quickly to questions and was helpful. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the location was fantastic with many restaurants, parks, and coffee shops nearby. Would happily stay here again!

Home away from home in San Antonio!

My wife and I travelled to San Antonio with our 3 children and were delighted with our stay at Casa Azul. The house and amenities were even better than advertised. You cannot beat this location! Literally around the corner from all things downtown! Check-in was a breeze and our stay was truly a home away from home. If you find yourself in San Antonio, check out this gem. We will book here or with another property by this host for all our return visits to San Antonio.

This was a perfect house for vacation, just minutes away from the Alamo and riverwalk. There was plenty of space for all of us. The hot tub was a bonus, everyone needed it after all the walking we did. Check in and out were super easy and the manager got back quickly to answer any questions we had.

Amazing Stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here, it was perfect for 5 adults and way more space than we needed. We were greeted with local chips and salsa and coffee which was perfect since we didn't plan on shopping for groceries with such a short stay. We walked everywhere and the location was perfect. They house was even decorated for fiesta! We only stayed a couple days so didn't get a chance to use the hot tub by the backyard was very cute. Would definitely recommend this place :)

Girls Trip

The property was very nice, as were t he hosts. The biggest issue was the construction going on late at night next door. We called the police to complain but it didn't seem to do any good. Everything was clean and tidy in the house. We could have used some more towels though. And upon arrival, the back door was unlocked as were a couple of windows. Maybe this was the cleaning crew? Overall we enjoyed are stay!

LAVACA

This VRBO home is awesome! When we first pulled into the drive it looked small, but we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. There were 5 adults in our party and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house is beautiful-loved the decor, and quite roomy. The owners responded to every question we had immediately. Would recommend this house in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry & Vicky Garcia

Host profile image
We are Jerry & Vicky Garcia, we met and got married in San Antonio over 17 years ago. We love travelling, and exploring exciting cities. When visiting new places, we like to discover great coffee shops, find hole in-the-wall restaurants (as well as fine dining), and to try craft cocktails or local breweries + wine. We have kids and two dogs, which we have taken plenty of road trips and flights with. Finding clean, safe, modern, and fun accommodations is always important to us regardless of how long or far our adventures take us. We love hosting and entertaining!

Why they chose this property

We have family and friends throughout the great state of Texas, where San Antonio has served as a great middle point when we are in town. The city has grown, yet we love that it still has that warm and friendly feel to it. Over the pandemic we decided to purchase a vacation home so we could spend more time with loved ones, and we fell in love with the Lavaca neighborhood. It is charming, full of life, and the location made it a perfect area. The property ended up being an amazing and opportune find. It is so well connected, close to the airport, and in a safe and friendly neighborhood. It is in the heart of Downtown right across from all the must-see touristic attractions, and at the gateway of rich cultural local and artistic neighborhoods which are known as Southtown. I love that we can catch a concert, dine out, hang out in the city, or engage with the local artistic community. You can uber for under 10 dollars / 5 minutes and get to anywhere + anything you might need; it is even cheaper than paying for downtown parking! Many locals will park on our streets to catch events in the city.
The house is very welcoming and peaceful, you forget you are in town. The rooms are spacious, and the living areas are open + inviting. The property comfortably hosts 8 to 10 people. With 3.5 bathrooms and 5 stationary beds, we hope our guests feel welcome. With a fully equipped kitchen and top of the line appliances throughout the house, including contactless check-in, we aspire to provide a relaxed stay. The 7-person Hot Tub and the front porch should put your stay over the top.

What makes this property unique

The location is amazing. The layout of the living spaces gives your entire party a gathering place. The 7-person Hot Tub with its top-of-the-line cleaning features offers another space to share. The privacy that the rooms with their own full bathrooms provide ensures everyone will have their own space. The house allows your party to feel as connected or as private as they may need.
There is plenty of parking if you have your own vehicle, if not you can catch an Uber right away (due to its proximity to Downtown) and at a low rate since everything is so close by. You can also rent a scooter or bike from one of the many ride-share options!
