The house is wonderful - clean, comfortable, great pool! Host was quick to respond to questions.
Nice place. As advertised
We had a relaxing stay and were able to spend quality family time. The location was perfect, we didn't have to drive far for anything! Would love to stay again!
We have stayed at this home several times, and we’re never disappointed. Plenty of room and private spaces for a large group. Hope to return soon.
We stayed at the house the week of the Valero Texas Open. The home is very near the airport with restaurants and shopping near by. The home is well furnished and very large. The pool and patio area is very private and well positioned. We recommend this house and will be back.
My friends and myself are in the military so it's sometimes hard to get everyone in the same location at the same time, but this house was close to the airport which helped and had more than enough room for all of us. The media room was great as was the kitchen and the location had us close enough for all of our sightseeing needs. There was a slight confusion about dates but Shelia was great about working it out with us quickly and fairly. A great stay from top to bottom.
The house was everything that we expected per the listing. We had an awesome time. House has an awesome layout, plenty of space in a very quite neighborhood. We will be back. Thank you
The house was as pictured and very spacious. It provided an excellent home base for several people attending the Final Four. The owner, Sheila, is very responsive and aims to please. I recommend La Casa - Elegant highly. Rick
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!
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.
La Casa was the perfect place in the perfect location for my 50th Birthday Party. Family and friends alike from all over the U.S. raved on how beautiful and spacious La Casa is. Everyone really enjoyed being in and or around the swimming pool and Cabana areas. I "HIGHLY" recommend La Casa to anyone who is looking for a place to vacation with their family (close to downtown, shopping, restaurants etc...) entertain large numbers of guest, Wedding/Receptions etc.... You cannot beat the value for this amazing home. I will be renting La Casa again in the near future.
We really enjoyed staying at La Casa for our Thanksgiving week multi-generational family reunion in San Antonio. This large house is clean and nicely decorated with colorful art and one-of-a-kind furnishings and fixtures. It truly is an Art House! We found the linens to be high quality and beds quite comfortable. The back patio and pool area with several seating areas, outdoor tiki hut bar offered more room than we needed for our dinner gatherings of 18 family members. Sheila, the owner, is very reliable to deal with and her home is in a lovely Alamo Heights neighborhood section 10 minutes to downtown and 10 minutes to the airport. We highly recommend La Casa for family reunions and celebrations.
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 🙂
This house was perfect for a 10 man golf trip to San Antonio. Plenty of beds to accommodate everyone and an awesome steam shower that was great after long days of golfing. The outdoor area was perfect for cooking out and lounging while the inside bar area provided the perfect space for kicking back and watching college football on the big screen. The house is located in a great centralized location. All the best golf courses are within 20-25 minutes from the house. If you're into shopping, this house provides easy access to The Quarry and plenty of other shopping areas. The owner of this property is super friendly and communicates almost instantaneously. We would definitely stay at this house again if we return to San Antonio for another trip!
My extended family-- six adults including two "seniors" and five children (ages 1 year to 20)-- spent 5 days at La Casa over Thanksgiving. There was plenty of room for all of us. All the beds were comfortable, there were loads of closets, and the housekeeping was fine. Everything was clean. The kitchen was big and well equipped. Virginia, the housekeeper was always pleasant, available, and very helpful. She did a beautiful job serving Thanksgiving dinner. There was lots to do in the house for children and adults. The children enjoyed the great collection of toys and art materials and games. Even the adults played some of the games. We all enjoyed the WI and the big video screen, which worked perfectly. There are wonderful art books and other interesting books for adults, too. There was so much to do in the house that one didn't need to go out. But of course we did. We enjoyed River Walk and two nearby shopping malls, and we loved the modern art museum, which is only a few minutes away. Don't miss it. There's a very large outdoor swimming pool which, unfortunately, it was too cool (late November) to use. There's also a very friendly outdoor cat, which, as a cat lover, I played with. The house decor is unusual to say the least--very colorful (red dining room walls), old fashioned weird chandeliers, lots of colorful art work. I don't think I'd want to live there all the time, but for a vacation house it was unique, amusing, and charming. The only problem with the house from my point of view was the upstairs layout. To reach one of the bedrooms you had to go through another bedroom. An extra upstairs bathroom would have made life easier. Although there were two, one was in the master bedroom suite. but we managed ok. If I went back to San Antonio, I would use this house again. (I'd try to come when the weather is better so I could use the pool.) It's a great place for a large family group to get together and enjoy themselves. I would recommend it.
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!
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.
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.!
We had a fabulous time! 5 adults and 3 children were the core of the party! We celebrated a birthday and a graduation with friends and family participating. Perfect♥️ Would definitely stay again. Thank you, Madeleine!
The pool was amazing! Beds were very comfortable! We had a blast. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed the large pool and outdoor area. The house is filled w eclectic art and furniture which makes the stay interesting.
Very unique house and furnishings. Just needed more time there!
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.
Very well kept house and great pool! Property manager was very approachable and quick to respond. Highly recommend staying here.
My family enjoyed our stay at La Casa Elegante. It was a perfect getaway to celebrate my birthday and have our kids enjoy to pool. The palapa was a great place to relax. We spent most of our time outside swimming and bbqing. The owner was great and made sure we had everything we needed. Perfect way to end the summer!
La Casa is a nice as the pictures indicate and a wonderful getaway for family groups or friends. We never left the property. The pool, veranda and palapa are wonderful. The house has more than enough area to spread out and enjoy. Sheila is responsive and wants to ensure you have a great stay. I would stay here again!
This property was amazing & spacious for any get togethers. Very beautiful art work displayed around the house. Grocery store was 2 minutes from the house. Great location. Loved that we were given tour of the house upon arriving. Great host & super clean. Kids loved the pool & movie room. Fun for the whole family. Will definitely be booking again for another family get together.
Stayed for college reunion. Perfect place for groups. Great pool. Lots of sleeping space. Easy access to airport and downtown.
I booked this house for a birthday weekend in August for my friends and I. It's a beautiful home and great for entertaining! Sheila was super friendly and easy to contact for all questions or needs.
This beautiful and spacious home was fully equipped to create a fantastic stay for my self and my family. The creative and artistic decor lent interest and charm. Camille was very helpful and polite. Thank you for sharing your home!!
Sheila was great all around, before during and after our stay. Great home for large extended family with spaces for grown ups and children. The home is unique with Sheila's taste and personality. She was quickly available to resolve anything, including replacing a BBQ Grill with a new one for our stay. Sheila also helped us find a ring we had forgotten with the help of very professional cleaning staff. We wouldn't think twice if back in San Antonio. The house has everything, including Christmas decorations, tree, etc. Just show up and relax. Thank you for everything Sheila!
Thank you Sheila for all you do you are an amazing person and we wish blessings upon blessings for you. Nice stay at the home excellent for a family gathering and also just for a get away.
We rented LaCasa-Elegant for a baby shower/party luau. It was the perfect place for us. Sheila was a very friendly, patient host...I had LOTS of questions regarding measurements, etc and she was easy to work with. I will definitely rent LaCasa again when the need arises.
We had a wonderful time in the house. Especially the swimming area. It was hard for the older folks with the stairs, but overall worked out ok.
The name says it all! My group was fortunate enough to secure this location for our yearly retreat over the July 4th weekend and the space was more than fantastic. The home came fully equipped with anything you could imagine, or hope for and Sheila was always right on time if there was a question or concern. The home is centrally located which made getting around town for our traveling guest quite simple. However, low and behold no one wanted to leave the property the entire weekend. There’s plenty of space indoors, as well as the outdoor terrace and pool areas gave everyone plenty of room to spread out. We had up to 20 people in the home at our peak meeting time and there was plenty of room for at least 20 more. Our group travels throughout the year to different locations, but none have come close to the experience we had at La Casa. As my guest departed it was stated over and over again how great of a time they had at this location, and this will be at the top of our list for our next San Antonio group getaway. If you’re looking for a gathering place for a group, or family you will not be disappointed with an investment in this property. Sheila and this property are the best!
Casa Elegante was the perfect place to spend the days leading up to my wedding. Perfectly situated, anything you need is just about 5-10 minute drive away. Sheila was very welcoming and accommodating. I was able to stay with my entire bridal party and also host a rehearsal brunch. Not to mention it is a beautiful place for photos! Overall, it was a huge blessing to have stayed at Casa Elegante!!
Beautiful home with all the amenities a family could want! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Lots of room, very nice neighborhood, easy access to freeways, stores and restaurants. Well maintained home with a great kitchen that was fully equipped! Very eclectic art gave the home a whimsical feel. We celebrated Christmas at the home and loved the decorations, stockings and tree! Sheila is wonderful to work with! We have rented homes in 6 states and can highly recommend this home!
We held a family reunion for 13 people at this property and it worked perfectly! The kids loved the pool and when it got too hot we spent time playing in the Wii room or checking out a movie in the theatre room! The outdoor kitchen and indoor kitchen worked were big enough to easily accommodate our large group. The homeowner was pleasant to work with and the house was perfectly placed to check out SanAntonio for the portion of our family that doesn't live here. We'd definitely book this property again.
Great time!!
Fabulous!
I got married in San Antonio at the beginning of October. We (my groomsmen and I) chose this house because of the size, pool, and location. We were not disappointed. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised by the space, the rooms, the pool, and the entire backyard. We hosted the rehearsal dinner at this location and it was perfect! The outdoor patio area was more than enough...add that to the spacious insides, I would highly recommend this house to groups large or small. Bar area both inside and out were put to use, along with each of the bedrooms that seem to have their own character. I would also like to say something about the lovely woman who helped us throughout the process. Sheila was super accommodating from the start of the process, through the rental, and even dealing with me after the rental. I can't thank her enough for everything and I hope that I have a reason to rent this house in the future. People that attended the rehearsal dinner were very impressed with the house as well and were also looking for reasons to rent it in the future.
My Team combined our annual realtor convention with a mini-vacation… even brought our spouses! We worked hard during the day and then delighted in coming home every evening… Cooking together, swimming, dancing on the veranda – what a blast! The accommodations are spacious with privacy for everyone… Spotlessly clean and so curiously decorated that we were entertained at turn! We couldn’t have devised any better venue, and can’t wait to come back! ~ Barbara D.
The house was beautiful and perfect for our family vacation. Each room is decorated more beautifully than the next. It is clear that each piece was chosen from the heart. From the moment we arrived our children had a blast exploring the house and choosing their beds, and though they loved the sights of San Antonio, each night they couldn't wait to get back and swim in the amazing pool.
We loved the house, your hospitality and the experience!!!! We will be back! Perfect retreat!
What a fun and unique home! My absolute favorite part was the outdoor living areas and pool!! Being able to take a swim every day was such a joy. The home was clean and accommodating for our team while visiting San Antonio.
Fabulous house for family reunion. The property is clean and well maintained. The pool is fabulous. We never left the house.
Definitely decorated Texas style! Bright colors and lots of unique items. The kitchen is very nicely appointed and nothing left to want. We lived in the pool! Thanks Sheila for your hospitality and great place to stay.
This home offers you a place for your family to all gather together in one special place. We all had the best time! The owner, Sheila, was very accommodating with a wealth of knowledge about anything you could possibly need. We loved the art work, the pool, the kitchen, sleeping arrangements, the Palapa, among other amenities were awesome. We had so much fun at the La Casa we did not even want to leave to do other things. La Casa is all that and a bag of chips!!!
A wonderful house for our family holidays and for entertaining. All grown children and grandchildren loved the spacious rooms and property. None of us had been back to San Antonio for quiet some time, and La Casa had a great location for us to see old friends, Spur game, riverwalk and favorite restaurants. Property was clean and owner provided excellent customer service. Next trip to S.A we will be contacting Shelia.
This house is exactly the way they name it, elegant it was very clean and welcome, it was perfect for our weekend, we have a big family with kids, very comfortable beds, in a nice area close to everything.
This was an excellent getaway! We enjoyed every moment of our stay and the wonderful welcome from the staff. We felt right at home from the second we got there till the second we HAD TO LEAVE. ... We loved the grounds. The kids loved the pool, the experience was well above our expectations. Thank you guys for the blessing of enjoying your well maintained home.
We're local but wanted a place to welcome and visit with out of state guests so they wouldn't have to stay in a hotel. The home was beautifully decorated for Christmas (far more than my own home would have been!) and we were able to host a big family party with all age groups. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy all the entertainment aspects of the house (piano, Wii, Apple computer, WiFi, music, TV/videos on large screen). The spacious kitchen was equipped with all the cookware, dishes, utensils and appliances (fridge, dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove, 2 ovens, microwave, toaster and coffeemaker) we needed. We were entertained by the birds at the feeder outside the kitchen window and the friendly cat who patrolled the back patio. Sheila was very accommodating and quick to respond to any request we made. She even went so far as to have parts for the BBQ grill overnighted when it was discovered that something wasn't working right. Even without the part it was still functional, though. When we didn't understand how to use the media equipment, she had her friendly tech guy come and walk us through it. We were encouraged to make ourselves at home and we certainly felt very comfortable at La Casa. We were thrilled to have a great steak house (The Barn Door) within walking distance. There's also an HEB grocery store close by; other than a trip to the steak house, we fixed all our meals in during our 4-day stay to maximize the time with our guests. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.
The family had a great time with 6 adults and 4 children, ages 2-4. It was ideal because we could all be together and have an area for sleeping children in the afternoon. Everyone enjoyed the pool and outdoor cooking area. We would rent this home again.
We had three very happy days at this beautiful well-maintained Villa. My grand kids did not want to leave and my wife and I and the children had a very enjoyable stay there. You can believe that the children and ourselves enjoyed everything the Villa had to offer. The management was very accommodating with any request that we made. The shopping was easily accessible as was the freeway so getting around was no problem. We would do it again.
I was looking for a comfortable home suitable for entertaining and relaxing 5 couples for a weekend get away.. What we found was a cozy and charming home with so much personality! The house was amazing with eclectic/elegant furnishings, unique decor, ample space and perfect touches. We all enjoyed cooking together in the kitchen (at one point, all 10 ppl were in there) and had a nice evening and dinner in the Palapa area on the outdoor grill. Everyone slept comfortably. I would have to say the only issue I had was asking 3 couples to share a bathroom upstairs. Other than that, I got to stay in the master suite so there were no issues there! We got up early and headed out to Enchanted Rock, followed by a tour at a local distillery. We came back to the house and hung out at the pool, watched TV in the awesome movie room, relaxed and had another cookout outside. Some of us enjoyed the Piano room for drinks as we read through the interesting collection of books. Unfortunately, we were only there from Friday - Sunday. My entire party regrets not staying for the week. There were parts of the house that we didn't even get to enjoy (two dining rooms, family room immediatly outside Master) because the house was so big. There were many spots to choose from where we all could gather but our favorite spot was outside on the patio and by the grill! Would definitely come back to explore and enjoy the other rooms! I highly recommend this place for big groups, especially families!
