The property is amazing. It was perfect for 2 people with the master being downstairs. It has a great yard that was perfect for my blind big dog that doesn't wander far from me. It has an amazing covered front porch and an outdoor fireplace with chimney. We didn't use the fireplace but we sat outside a lot during the weekend. Really great kitchen and bath. It had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and I have traveled a lot being a young age of 69. The owners are right there but still they gave us a dozen of fresh laid chicken eggs. It's at the end of a cul de sac in town but has a great country feel and I was raised on a working cattle ranch. I wouldn't want yo go up and down the steep staircase but Hats off to the owners for creating such a great escape in town.

It was fabulous. What a cute little house and a beautiful private yard. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. The town of Castroville is a hidden gem in the making.

Feels like a home away from home. Owners are very nice people, and respect your privacy. Anytime we go to San Antonio if available this is where we will stay!
