About this property
Relax among the oaks! Watch deer and wildlife meander by! Make new memories!
Permit #STR-22-1350020
The property is conveniently located in a busy corridor of northwest San Antonio near the Medical Center with quick and easy access to interstate travel, upscale restaurants, varied shopping malls, theme parks, grocery stores, and downtown San Antonio’s River Walk and Market Square. Military bases are only short distances away. The property is near USAA, Valero, UT Health Science Center, UTSA, La Cantera/Rim Shopping centers, and Six Flags/Fiesta Texas.
At the same time, you will find privacy and quiet once you drive onto the shady, oak-laden estate. Large outdoor spaces are available and include a front yard rock patio and a back yard deck for hanging out and relaxing. The grounds include a ranch-style main home and workshop, and the acreage provides ample space for all. Don’t be surprised to see deer grazing on the property and neighbors riding their horses around the area. After all, this is Texas country!
The retreat property has a pleasant, soothing ambience. It is spacious, fully furnished and complete with linens, kitchen ware, coffee makers, cable TV, internet service, washer/dryer, and iron/ironing board. Its 2-bedrooms, 1-bathroom with shower are tastefully decorated with all the comforts that make you feel right at home. The bedrooms have queen beds that sleep 4 comfortably.
There are three alternative seating areas for reading, conversations, or media. Villa Encino is stocked with games—Rummikub, Scrabble, Cards, Checkers, and Chess. Or you can try your luck at pitching some horseshoes!

About the host
Hosted by Jhane Ivers
I'm a native Texan, but my husband Gordon and I love to travel! Our first experience with vacation rentals was as guests ourselves staying in several across Europe, especially across Italy and Spain! Great way to experience the culture and flavor of the places you visit! You get a real experience. Think that holds true about San Antonio also. It's a great city with so much to offer! The best gift you can give yourself is to stay in a place that provides an authentic look. You will love our place because it does exactly that! This is Texas, and this is San Antonio. Come on over!
Why they chose this property
Life among the oaks is a beautiful life! Villa Encino offers country acreage in the heart of busy city living. When you drive onto our property, you can feel at ease. But also convenient to all city luxuries within a few minutes. Restaurants, shopping, golfing, adventure parks, and military bases! You will love our place!
What makes this property unique
You are quickly within reach of major shopping (LaCantera) and entertainment (Palladium theatre, Six Flags), a variety of wonderful restaurants (Wild Fish, Paesanos, Magnolia Pancakes), and the medical center. And view is hard to beat! Green belts and wildlife. Doesn't get any better!
