We loved our stay at this beautiful house when we were in San Antonio for our grandson’s graduation from Air Force basic training. It was conveniently located with easy parking and nice laundry facilities. We had a problem with the stove top and oven and they had it fixed within a couple of hours. Very easy to communicate with. Thank you so much for the perfect home to enjoy being together as a family!

Our stay at Casa Rufino was just wonderful!! We were down for our Son's BMT graduation from JB Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX. Upon entry, the entire house was nice and cool which is so needed in the Texas heat. Everything was impeccably clean and so very well organized!! The open concept floor plan is very inviting to just relax and spend time together. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure for showers was perfect. We appreciated the ability to cook and grill nice meals and do laundry when needed. We really enjoyed having both indoor and outdoor games available.Off the back of the house is a nice covered patio we utilized every day we were there. Despite the heat, there is a sun shade that can be rolled down to block the intense sun rays. It was also lovely to stroll around the private enclosed back yard that has a rock path and admire the flowering bushes. We felt very safe and secure during our stay. The hostess Ruth was very kind, answered all my questions in a timely manner, and wished us safe travels upon our departure. Thanks Ruth (and George) for sharing your lovely home with us. If we are ever back in San Antonio, we will definitely hope to stay at Casa Rufino again!!

This location was perfect for attending BMT. It was very close. The neighborhood was safe and we could use the garage. The kitchen was fully stocked. Which made it very nice since we did all the meals there. The landscaping was beautiful. There were board games in the house to play. There were plently of towels and blankets.

The house was absolutely perfect for our stay near Lackland! Our party of six were in town for my son's graduation from BMT. Just minutes away from the Valley Hi gate meant getting to the base early in the morning was easy. We had enough space to be able to do our own things in the evenings, but also plenty of room when we wanted to come together and spend time with our airman. I loved being able to cook and share meals. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and serve. And the dishwasher made clean up a breeze. The San Antonio heat was a little much for us, so we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful backyard as much as we'd hoped. We definitely appreciated the lovely landscaping and so many little touched that made us feel welcome. Check in was very easy and the host was wonderful about responding to every message and question we had. I would definitely recommend the house to anyone staying in the area.

BMT Graduation

We had such a great week at the house! Our son graduated from BMT this week and we spent lots of time at the house letting him recoup and rest. I would highly recommend this place for the ease of getting to and from the base, the amenities it offers, and the closeness to downtown activities.

Perfect for an Airforce Graduation

This house was immaculate - I think the cleanest VRBO I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in quite a few. Relaxing for the Air Force Grad and the family, a quick ride to the Base, and not too far of a drive to the Riverwalk. When I couldn't work the lock when we got there, the host was literally right there with a text to help me (probably more operator error than the lock - but there's an actual key also so it was fine). Simple and cute - highly recommend if you are here for a graduation.
