The People Behind the Stays

Good Trips Begin with Thoughtful Hosts

Lucas and Nickol started Five Star Vacation Home Rentals with a simple goal: to give guests amazing experiences and a home away from home. As travelers themselves, they understand how much the right place can add to a trip. That perspective shapes our approach to hosting. We think about what guests need to feel comfortable, whether they're arriving for a family vacation, a weekend with friends or a retreat with colleagues. Our aim is to offer a welcoming place where you can settle in and make the most of your time away.

A Little More Room to Explore

Out for the Day. Home for the Best Part.

A morning on the lake, an afternoon exploring a new neighborhood, an evening with nowhere else to be. We love the variety a Texas getaway can hold. Across our collection, city condos, waterfront homes and Hill Country retreats give you different ways to experience it. Head out for the sights, or choose a home with the space and amenities to make staying in part of the plan. There's no single way to spend your time here, and that's exactly the point: find a place that fits the trip you want to have.

Where We Host

Our Biggest Hubs

Austin

City Stays & Lakeside Escapes

Austin

Spend the day exploring Austin's neighborhoods or slow things down beside Lake Austin. Our Austin-area collection includes city condos, waterfront stays and larger homes for family weekends and group getaways. Looking for a little more breathing room? Explore our nearby Hill Country retreats, where time outdoors can become the main event.

San Antonio

Culture, Connection & Family Time

San Antonio

Make San Antonio your base for days along the River Walk, visits to The Pearl and time together back at the house. Our collection welcomes family trips and group weekends, with options for longer visits, Lackland graduations and Medical Center stays. Choose a setting that suits your plans, then leave a little room to explore.
