What Wonderful Accommodations!
Had an absolutely beautiful stay at the Pearl property. The rooms are so fresh and clean, well-appointed with a wonderful bottle of Rose bubbly to welcome us. Both of our hosts (Kelley & Craig) were wonderful and answered any questions promptly. The surrounding area (meaning within a ultra short walk) had all sorts of restaurants, bars, retail stores including the fabulous Pullman Market. Six Stars and high recommendations!

Incredible Stay
We loved staying at the River Walk Retreat! The loft was well stocked, perfectly cleaned, and beautiful as well. The location to the Pearl was our favorite. We walked to the Pullman Market for snacks or meals, shopped at the boutiques, got onto the riverwalk, and enjoyed the green space. The loft was a short drive to the Alamo and museums which was also incredibly convenient. The closet hideaway was a major hit with our little boy!The elevators/fobs need a little upgrade but that was our only hiccup. The owner’s number was printed on the fob and fixed our issue immediately when we called. We would never stay anywhere else in San Antonio!Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

LOVE this place!
This place is such a GEM! Best location in all of San Antonio I swear. SO much to do here in this spot - we Loved the Pearl and pullmans market and being so close to the river walk was amazing. The loft was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and super comfortable! It had so many great amenities—we especially loved the pool. The guide Craig and Kelley sent made planning and check-in a breeze- I’ve never had a VRBO host that sent such a detailed guide like that. They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We honestly can’t say enough good things. Can’t wait to come back!

Sophisticated yet comfortable near River Walk
We were delighted with our stay in this beautiful property! It had comfortable yet lovely furnishings and was very near a quiet part of the River Walk. It was across the street from an amazing grocery store (the Pullman Market) that featured delicious food and several restaurants plus some wonderful gift items. It was also across the street from a fun area called Pearl Street which had many restaurants and bars. A fun place to spend a few days in San Antonio!
