Welcome to Casa Relato, a 1929 Craftsman curated exactly as a design-led home should be—custom interiors, layered textures, and fabrics chosen because they belong. Every piece of furniture is solid and intentional—no IKEA, ever.
We leave a substantial welcome basket filled with things we genuinely enjoy—some local, some just our favorites. Sip your coffee on the front porch of a neighborhood that feels tucked away yet close to everything. Casa Relato balances authenticity, comfort, and the kind of detail that makes a house unforgettable.
The living room has good light and walls lined with books and art and comfortable furniture with a place for everyone to sit.
Good coffee is important—we promise to only provide high quality coffee flavored coffee beans. We have a Mr. Coffee coffee pot because who knows better about a good cup of coffee than Mr. Coffee? A bean grinder, French press, and Bialetti with matching milk frother are here for whatever ritual you prefer. (What's a Keurig?)?
When the day winds down, open one of the bottles we’ve left for you—one red, one white—both wines we actually enjoy. Or take a beer from the fridge...Step outside where the air softens and time slows, the perfect close to a San Antonio day.
The kitchen keeps its 1929 soul but works like a modern space—gas range, full-size fridge, sharp knives, and real glassware. We love wine and food, so the shelves hold more than basics. If you want to cook, there are no Teflon pans - just stainless steel and cast iron cookware, and the right glass for every drink. Wine? Martini? Rocks? We’ve got you covered. No plastic here—you won’t be drinking a margarita out of Tupperware.
Ask us—we can tell you about San Antonio’s best local spots, from hidden neighborhood gems to our favorite Michelin-recognized restaurants and everything in between.
We can also give you tips on fun things to do and places to go around town.
Arriving late and need supplies? Let us know what you'd like, and we’ll do our best to have kitchen stocked before you arrive. Arriving even later? We can arrange catered meals from our favorite local restaurants, so you can start your stay with good food and zero effort.

Both bedrooms were designed for real rest—white noise machines - soft light, land 100 % organic-cotton bedding that feels like a boutique hotel. Every piece of furniture is solid and intentional, with just enough art (no prints from Ross or Marshalls here...) to make it interesting.
The bathrooms are spa-quality, outfitted with thick towels, full-size mirrors, and everything we think you might’ve forgotten. We provide plant-based soaps. We stocked the details so you don’t have to run to the store.
Out back, you’ll find a private yard with a furnished patio and a Weber grill—the kind of space made for slow evenings and good company. You’re on vacation, so have a beer or a cocktail and take your time. Fire up the grill, put your feet up, and let Casa Relato remind you what easy living feels like.
Casa Relato balances the elegance of history with the ease of modern life: fast Wi-Fi, central air, washer/dryer, Smart TV, and thoughtful extras. Whether you’re here for a weekend escape, business at Fort Sam, a golf outing, or a culinary adventure at The Pearl, or exploring walkable downtown San Antonio, this home is designed to restore and inspire.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Julie Simmons
We’re Julie and Ryan. We live outside the city but bought this 1929 Craftsman because sometimes Julie gets tired of the quiet and needs a little bit of city - San Antonio wine and great restaurants. We restored every inch ourselves — every fixture, every piece of hardware, every stubborn layer of paint. The ceilings are high - we refurbished all original doors and original hardwood floors. The house is solid and beautiful, the way they used to build them.
Julie is from San Antonio and she loves this big small town — you can grab tacos from a hole-in-the-wall one night and dine Michelin-style the next. We love the yard, the porch, and sharing this place with friends who appreciate a house that’s got a little history and a lot of heart.

Why they chose this property
We chose the neighborhood for its historic character and proximity to downtown. Here we can enjoy a quiet evening on the front porch, wave at our neighbors, or grill out back. But if we aren't feeling that, we can be downtown having martinis or meeting friends in minutes. We like to come in for the weekend, park the car in the back, and Uber.
What makes this property unique
We meticulously restored The Story House - Casa Relato. You'll see and feel it immediately - from the landscaping to the carefully chosen furnishings inside. We have a coffee bar that will amaze you and because we appreciate you, we will leave you a welcome basket that reflects San Antonio hospitality.
