About this property

Castroville, Little Alsace of Texas, cozy backhouse! 20 minutes to theme parks

New Listing! Enjoy the town for its Alsatian flair and situated on the Medina river. Easy access to Texas hill country and hunting season locations. Plenty of parking, stand alone unit, 3 adults or family of four, recently added a sleeper sofa so can add another adult or child. It is located within walking distance to historic sites of Castroville, convenient access off highway, easy drive in all directions to, San Antonio, Six Flags, and Sea World. Famous Dzuik’s meat market is walking distance, Haby’s bakery and public pool nearby (open summer and winter-heated!) Great hiking trails and butterfly garden in the neighborhood. Spring is poppy season and the apartment is on the town’s historic walk and poppy viewing trail. Kitchen includes full-size stove/oven (with air fryer option), microwave, apartment size refrigerator/freezer. Great location for many day trips! The apartment faces Amelia Street. Great space for hunting season!

Short stay in Castroville

The place was great! Clean, easy check in and out, and great communication by the owner. It's close enough to San Antonio, but still far enough out of the city for some peace and quiet. I'd definitely stay here again.
