"The house was absolutely beautiful. Carmen was an extremely great host and so helpful. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. So many things to do in the area and close enough to drive to San Antonio for the river walk. I would definitely recommend staying at this house. Thank you so much for everything Carmen.

"Carmen's place was fantastic! The first thing that stood out was how incredibly clean it was. The space was spotless and very well-maintained, making it a pleasure to stay in. In addition to being clean, the place was also incredibly quiet. This was especially appreciated after long days of exploring the city, as it allowed for a peaceful and restful night's sleep." ~ Lisa
The location of Carmen's place is also a major plus. It's situated in a lovely, quiet neighborhood that's safe and secure, yet still within easy reach of all the sights and sounds of the city. The easy check-in was especially appreciated, as I arrived late and didn't want to worry about finding the place or having to wait for someone to let me in.
I highly recommend Carmen's place. It's a great option for anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and convenient place to stay in the city. Whether you're here for business or pleasure, this place is sure to make your stay a comfortable and memorable one!"

"This was an excellent house for our group of 8. There was ample room for everyone. The back porch, yard, and grill were well-appreciated. The kitchen was spacious and clean. The location was convenient (close to grocery store). We even had (wild?) deer visit us in the evening. A perfect place to stay for our party." ~ Jeffrey

"My wife and I don't normally book properties of this size, but our daughter was graduating from Texas State and we needed a place of this size to accommodate family traveling from out of town as well as a place for everyone to gather and celebrate after the ceremony. My wife spotted this listing and immediately thought this would be perfect, and she was right. Carmen was great at communicating with us all through the process; from booking to checking in on us throughout the stay. I can assure you the place is exactly as advertised and if anything the pictures don't do it justice. We arrived to a perfectly clean property and immediately found everything we needed. Our party was for eight overnight guests, and we comfortably slept in the place and our party was probably at it's peak as many as twenty people and there was plenty of space for everyone to mingle and socialize (the pool table was particularly nice for those wanting some other entertainment). I highly recommend this property to others and have no hesitancy in giving a full 5+-star rating." ~ Cash
"It's a beautiful house which is well maintained and very close to everything in San Marcos. we were surprised to see 8-9 deer outside the window in the morning. The house has a spacious background. Jason and Carmen are gracious hosts who would communicate everything with you beforehand. It is a must stay for anyone staying at San Marcos. The house is great for families or friends to take a relaxing break. Thank you once again, our group had a great time!" ~ Visakh
