A pearl in the city.

Our stay in San Antonio was a wonderful one, full of great memories for our kiddos, but what surprised us the most was just how great this cottage in the pearl was. The house was beautiful, comfortable, had a great back yard for all kinds of activities and experiences, it was very close to JBSA so we could get on base with ease and shop at the PX and commissary. Being stationed in Texas it’s always nice to have gem like this to have a family getaway. The amenities were wonder, having a washer and dryer is a must with kids and this house provided all we needed and more. Truly this house helped make our experience exponentially better. It was a great price as well which is nice to have some breathing room with so many pricing military families out of their range, we will definitely be coming back to this house next time we return to San Antonio.

From the walk up the front porch to the moment we walked inside we were impressed. This cottage is adorable, spotless, cozy, and smelled glorious! The hosts clearly put a lot of thought and love into every inch. Great use of space and LOVED all the special touches like the record player and awesome little album collection and the San Antonio memorabilia. The wonderful smelling shower gel and shampoo in the shower and the fresh lavender in the kitchen also did not go unnoticed. We enjoyed tea on the front porch and chilling for a bit in the backyard. There was not a single thing missing except more time spent there! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thanks for the stay! We will definitely be back!
