This custom-built home features an open floor plan that allows guests to spread out and enjoy multiple seating areas and activities. The main living room features a comfy sofa, love seat, leather armchair, and bar top seating – providing the perfect view of the 55" 4K Smart TV. All the TVs in the house have YouTube Live, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Beachbody on Demand running on them. Just around the corner is the game room – featuring another comfy sofa with dual recliners, and an oversized chair with an ottoman. But the best part of this room is the Arcade Pac Man Machine, foosball coffee table, board games, and another 55" 4K Smart TV. The game room is the perfect spot for kids to retreat to and watch their favorite show, while still being close to the rest of the family. High ceilings, crown molding, shutters/drapes, new lighting and faucets, and fresh paint add designer details throughout the house.

Step into the beautifully manicured, private backyard and enjoy the pool and hot tub with a water feature, grill, and plenty of outdoor seating. The lush hedge provides plenty of privacy, while decorative Mexican Pottery accents add the perfect San Antonio touch. Seating includes pool loungers, a patio table with seating for 6, and 8 additional patio chairs. Plush pool towels, pool noodles, patio-friendly dishes, and grilling tools are provided.

Quiet and spacious home
This property and the hosts were nothing short of amazing! The hosts thought of everything we might need and were quick to respond with any questions we had. Check in and check out was seamless. The house itself was clean, beautiful, comfortable and in a quiet location. The layout was perfect with a master suite on each level, a separate space for kids to gather, and a roomy enough kitchen to accommodate big family meals. The Pac-Man arcade game was a hit with the teens! It was such a blessing to be able to have our family stay all together as we gathered for my son’s graduation from BMT. And to have a nice quiet place to bring him back to on his town pass so he could rest and we could sit and catch up. The only thing that did not work in our favor was the driveway was a bit too steep to pull our rental (minivan) into, but we worked it out. Thank you Christy and Keith for your hospitality! We will 100% recommend you in the future!

Great stay-cation
We enjoyed this property and our time here. The house was clean, communication and check in was easy and we were treated with cookies and a kind card. The upstairs did get warm midday even with the ac set lower so having portable fans in addition to the ceiling fans would be helpful. We had a baby with us and the owners kindly provided a pack n play and even went as far as to setting it up in the desired rooms. We could not locate baby spoons or plates but were thankful for the baby high chair that was provided too. The pool was clean and the patio was perfect for our gathering. The back yards could use some low lit lights for evening swims but overall the landscaping was beautiful and well kept. We would recommend this house to others and would stay here again.

Wonderful Getaway
Christy and Keith were fantastic hosts with a fantastic home. It was very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay - kitchen supplies, towels, games, and so much more. The attention to detail with their home was above and beyond any host we’ve ever dealt with. We felt at home with our family and enjoyed all of the amenities they provide in their home. Their communication was too notch from the day we booked their property. We highly recommend staying and will be back again if ever in the San Antonio area.

Best house in SA!
My family has stayed at multiple homes in SA for our summer vacation over the years. This house is by far our favorite! The neighborhood is beautiful and gated. The house is so nice and spacious. We were welcomed with a sweet note and delicious cookies. We absolutely loved having 2 master suites with king beds! Loved having smart TVs in all the rooms. We used the pool and hot tub every single day. We used the garage app which helped keep our car cool in the summer. There were no checkout instructions because they want you to enjoy your last day. The owner was so quick to respond any time I messaged her and she was so nice! We LOVED this house and will definitely be booking it next summer!!

An oasis made for families
This house was not only beautiful, perfectly located, and had every detail you could possibly need provided - it was so incredibly homey. Christy was wonderful to work with regarding any questions we had or assistance we needed. The pool was definitely the gathering spot for our extended family. Everything in person was even better than pictures. The back yard was private and beautifully landscaped. You would never know you were in town. The lovely neighborhood was gated and fairly small - quiet & safe. It truly was the highlight of our visit to San Antonio and gave us wonderful family memories and relaxation.

Our family of 10 rented this property for a 5-day reunion in November 2023. We’ve been fortunate to have these gatherings every year in many different locations. Many rentals have been excellent but Lofty Heights was voted the best yet! From the fresh cookies and handwritten welcome note awaiting our arrival, to the beautifully maintained home with every amenity times two, to the soothing hot tub, to the quiet neighborhood, to the easy drives to the riverwalk, Alamo, Pearl, and the airport, to the there-whenever-needed owners Christy and Keith, everything was perfect!

Fantastic San Antonio stay!
We loved Christy's wonderful house! We couldn't have asked for a better location with all the activities we had planned. From our youngest five-month-old to our oldest 82-year-old there was plenty of room for everyone. Love the fact that she had two pack n plays and two high chairs for our 5-month-old and 8-month-old grandkids. The pool was a huge hit with our 3-year-old grandson who always wanted to swim. The house is beautiful and the extra touches that Christy had were fantastic. The cookies were yummy, my 3-year-old grandson found the chocolates first and loved them, the blow dryers in every bathroom, the makeup, removing towels and the shampoo, conditioner and soap to last throughout our stay. Christy was quick to address any concerns we had and even gave us some recommendations! Would recommend this house to anyone and everyone who's headed to San Antonio.
