  • 🌄 Fortaleza | Hill Country Estate with Infinity Pool, Tennis Court and 3 Acre Grounds

    💖 Why You'll Love This Home
    Fortaleza offers a spacious Hill Country retreat designed for larger groups, set across a private 3-acre estate within a gated community. With eight bedrooms and multiple gathering spaces, the home balances shared experiences with room to spread out. The outdoor setting centers around a 40' x 20' heated infinity-edge pool, surrounded by open space and hillside views. Guests also have access to a private full-size tennis court, pickleball, and a basketball setup, creating a range of options for both activity and downtime. Inside, the open-concept layout connects the main living areas, while the chef's kitchen equipped with Miele appliances and multiple dining areas supports everything from casual meals to larger group dinners.

    👨‍👩‍👧 Perfect For
    Large families, group getaways, reunions, or friends traveling together who want a private estate with both recreational amenities and space to gather.

    🎞️ Imagine This
    Spend the morning outdoors with a match on the tennis court or a casual game of pickleball before heading back inside for breakfast overlooking the surrounding hills. Move into the afternoon with time by the pool, where the infinity edge creates a quiet place to unwind. Others gather indoors for board games or take advantage of the multiple living areas to relax at their own pace. As the evening comes together, prepare dinner in the kitchen and gather around one of the dining spaces before settling in for the night.

Phenomanal Stay

Keith was a phenomenal host. The house was a perfect place to have multiple families stay and enjoy the hill country for a long weekend. The kids loved the pool and sports court. This house has everything and more. Keith was easy to work with and provided us with the best stay we have had with VRBO to date.

Unbeatable experience

Don’t think twice, book now! This was hands down the best experience I’ve had with a vacation rental, anywhere. The property manager and hosts had superb customer service and hospitality, the home was better than described, fully stocked and clean with breathtaking views. Not to mention the location and comfort we experienced was perfect, not far from airport and very close to a lot of groceries and shopping. The experience was unmatched and priceless. Trust me, you won’t regret.

Breathtaking views, fun for all ages

In the words of Will Ferrell in the movie Step Brothers "So many activities! It's making my head spin, how many activities we could do." From pickleball, tennis, basketball, swimming, board games, this home has it all. If you are looking for a well furnished home that can accomodate everyone, stop your search and hit book! Our family of 11 had the most wonderful Christmas stay. Keith is an incredible host! 10/10 would stay again.

Luxury Family Retreat

15 family members travelled to San Antonio for a family wedding. We wanted a place where everyone could stay together but yet not feel cramped. The property far exceeded our expectations. Everything from beds to appliances to furnishings was top of the line. Our stay was wonderful and everyone was comfortable. I contacted the host a couple of times with questions and he responded immediately and was very helpful. Superb hospitality. Thank you, Keith, for sharing your home with us. It was well worth the cost, no regrets.

Fabulous Family get together

We live in WV, but most of our family lives in Texas. We had a family get together at this stunning property. Everyone enjoyed having their own bedroom with bathroom The pool was the high point and we spent hours in it despite occasional rain. The kitchen enable our four Family cooks to work together to make amazing meals. As grandma, I was able to get time alone with each to listen to their plans and joys! I needed help getting out of the pool without hand rails but no one else did!

5-STAR RESORT PROPERTY - AWESOME HOUSE

I rarely give out reviews or survey's after staying in VRBO's, but this property...WOW..!!!!!! What a great house to spend the weekend with the family. The house is setup perfectly for a lot of people with open spaces huge rooms, every bedroom has its own bathroom. The fixtures, furniture and kitchen appliances are all top of the line. We had our family Christmas gathering and had 16 people with grandchildren and our kids enjoy every moment. Plenty of things to do, never left the house. Enjoyed the sport court, played basketball, pickle pall (for the first time) and kids road their bikes. Afternoons spent family time in the heated pool looking at high country vistas...what a view looking from the infinity pool. If you want 5-STAR quality resort property, this is the place to rent. Highly recommend the property and will definitely come back. Oh, the property manager and owner..."the best I have every dealt in renting properties"...you will not be disappointed.

Best booking we have ever had on VRBO!

We got together for a family Thanksgiving. The home was magnificent! Has every amenity you would want or desire. The heated pool and outdoor fireplace was a plus for a big group. They even supplied pool towels and inflatables. There were two pickleball courts and a basketball court on the property. The kitchen was fully outfitted with every appliance you could need. The pantry was stocked with all sorts of supplies including paper products, dinner ware, glasses, serving pieces, cooking utensils, pots, pans. And there were a many sundries such as spices and coffee. You name it, this house has it. The bedrooms were comfortable and lush. They even had special soaps and body washes available in every bathroom. Keith was very communicative, and encouraged us to contact him if there was anything we needed. The home is private and secluded with beautiful views. I cannot say enough about this stay. It was incredible and well worth every penny spent in booking.

Family Weekend

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. It is well furnished with any supplies you may need for cooking, playing sports (Basketball, tennis, Pickleball). The pool is beautiful. The home comfortably slept our 20 guests. Rooms are spread throughout the house, so noise is not necessarily an an issue. The upstairs master suite contained a comfortable bed, seating area, with breathtaking views, and a luxurious bathroom. There are two sets of washers and dryers with detergent included. The only issue we experienced during our stay was with the downstairs air conditioning. We called, and the house manager was there within a couple hours. The issue remained, so they sent an air conditioning technician that same evening to address the problem. Keith, the owner, even followed up to ensure that we were comfortable with our stay despite the issue and worked with us to make sure we were happy. If you are looking for a luxurious home that is close enough to the city, shopping, Six Flags, and more, this was an excellent site. Alternatively, if you are looking for a home where you can stay comfortably sequestered from the rest of the world and just enjoy the quiet then this is the home for you.

Beautiful and Spacious Palace — Perfect for Our Family Wedding! The place was extremely spacious, with eight bedrooms giving everyone plenty of room to relax and get ready for the big day. I loved the fact that every bedroom had its own bathroom.The location was also fantastic — very close to the wedding venue, which made everything so convenient. We loved that the home was well-kept, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed for such a special occasion.It was truly the perfect place for our family to stay during such an important time. Highly recommend for anyone planning a large family event or wedding stay!

Great Experience

We were a group of 15 college friends playing golf and hanging out. The house is great. There are enough beds for 14 to have their own. The house is well equipped with high quality items. Ample room for food storage and prep to handle the size of our group. They were also very well stocked with spices and staples. The owner was great to work with. If going back to San Antonio I would stay here again for sure.
