Extraordinary Plantation-Style Home on 4 Acres, Blending Rustic & Modern Styles

Bedroom # 1 (King & Sofa Sleeper), Bedroom # 2 (King), Bedroom # 3 (King), Bedroom # 4 (King), Bedroom # 5 (2 Queens)

Extraordinary 4,000 sq ft plantation-style vacation home that blends the best of rustic and contemporary styles in a private setting. Southern Charm is located on the southwest side of San Marcos, Texas down a long-shaded driveway tucked back in a grove of tall oak trees. San Marcos is centrally located between Austin, San Antonio, and New Braunfels making the list of nearby activities endless.

Enter to the intimate sitting area with brandy leather chairs strategically placed in front of the bar stocked with stemware. Walk in farther to the cozy living area that has a massive 12-foot long sectional sofa, 65” Smart TV, and wood-burning fireplace. Just off this room is the fully stocked country kitchen with double islands, stainless appliances, and ice maker. Just off the kitchen is the elegant dining area that has a 9-foot solid pine dining table that seats 10 placed beside another wood-burning fireplace. Also located on the first floor is one full bathroom offering a walk-in shower and a bedroom that has two queen size beds.

Make your way upstairs to the enormous master bedroom. The king size bed sits opposite of the sitting area that has a queen size sofa sleeper and a 55” Smart TV. There is also a door leading out to the upstairs deck, a luxuriously done walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with jetted tub and walk-in shower. There are three more bedrooms located upstairs, each with a king size bed. Also, upstairs is one more full bathroom with a bathtub/shower.

The outside grounds are absolutely magical! Enjoy a morning cup of coffee swinging on the long front porch. Watch the kids swim from the fully shaded upstairs deck with steps right to the pool. Or cool off in the swimming pool complete with shallow sitting pool great for toddlers to play and splash in. Surrounding the pool are 4 chaise lounges, a picnic table, and an outdoor dining table that seats 6. There are commonly red birds and hummingbirds fluttering around and deer grazing in the field. This property has such a peaceful atmosphere, a great place to relax and recharge!

Southern Charm was great
Property was all that was promised! Our group was three sets of our family members and Southern Charm was perfect for all of us! Everybody enjoyed the king sized beds in all but one bedroom (and that one has two queen beds!) One more bathroom upstairs would be nice, but we managed with a little planning as to when showers were taken. We felt like we were home!

Texas Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at the Southern Comfort house. The property is as described and pictured. The living area was very comfy and all TVs were easy to use and no connection issue with TVs or wif! The kitchen is very nicely stocked and we had everything we needed. Bedrooms were very large, mattresses comfy, and the bedding was very nice. 👍 In addition a very nice laundry room with double washers and dryers! We also were very impressed that the supplies at the house were very generous. Much more than we’ve seen at others houses. Lots of cleaning supplies, toiletries, and the extras amenities in the bathrooms was a nice touch! We loved the pool and hot tub and spent a lot of time in the backyard area. The pool was clean and everything worked great! Thank you so much for a great long weekend retreat! We also enjoyed several restaurants in the area which were great and we used meal delivery services which definitely were quick and easy. The entire area is geared for vacationers and it was very nice! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The property was practically perfect for our family! Quiet, semi secluded, beautifully decorated and the beds…all the beds were amazingly comfortably! Having 2 fridges was so helpful and the kitchen had everything! We spent as much time as possible in the pool since our stay was in June.

Southern Charm is Charming but...
The home is beautiful. The kitchen was fairly well stocked and the large yard and the heated pool were a BIG HIT! However, we had some issues. First of all, there are only 10 places to sit at the dining table and no extra chairs. If a home advertises it accommodates up to 14 people, but provides room for only 10 at the table, does it really accommodate 14? The treads on several stairs were falling off and dangerous for anyone going up or down. The hand rail was also wobbly and did not provide the needed stability. The sink in one of the bedrooms leaked. We contacted the property manager to find out how to turn off some outdoor lights, but never heard back from anyone. In general, we enjoyed our stay, but these issues would have to be addressed before we would reserve the property again.

Nice place, cold pool
Our family of 9 (8 adults, 1 child) had a wonderful short trip to San Marcos. The home was easy to find and the check-in process was flawless. The code was provided to us about 30 minutes early for entry into the residence. The house was very well cleaned and well stocked with everything we needed to cook and eat meals, do laundry, etc.. Showers included shampoo and body wash. Very large dining table and living room with enough seating for all. Outside fenced area had several different areas for use. Hot tub, dining table, lounge chairs, fire pit. The pool was very cold as its shaded most of the day. I offered to pay the fee for heating the pool but the owner refused since it was still 90 degrees in Texas. The pool was unfortunately too cold for most of us to use. The sitting pool attached to the main pool had a major bee problem, I contacted the owner but didn't get any response. The bees were entering a crack in the side of the sitting pool so probably a nest in there. Would stay at the property again.

Great house In a great location
14 Ladies stayed at the house 4 nights. It was comfortable for all and we enjoyed each part of the house including the screen porch during mid day rain. We loved seeing the deer around the property all times of day. I would reccomend additional grip on the grey decking outside the hot tub, it's very slick when wet. Overall a really lovely stay!

After our initial stay the previous year we decided to rent out the house again. Perfect accommodations for our group of 11 ladies who graduated together & meet get every year. The location works well since we're coming from all over the state & easy access to stores & restaurants. Love the pool and shaded deck to reminisce. Kitchen is well stocked & ample room for all of us to relax. Booked it the week after we got back home for next year.

We were celebrating a 45th anniversary with a family getaway. There were 12 members in our family and kids ranged from 1 month to 8 years. There was a lot of activities for kids in the area and we scheduled a few things but their favorite of all was swimming in the pool at the house. It was a great setting and a perfect place for family bonding and fun.
