About this property

A cozy, comfortable family getaway

We’re glad you chose to stay in the Captain’s Quarters! We’ve made every effort to create a comfortable, homey environment for your extended stay. Right away, you’ll notice there is a nautical feel to the place – an homage to Admiral Charles D. Grojean, the patriarch of our family. His colorful and illustrious career as a nuclear submariner is reflected in the décor, particularly in the upstairs family room where the memorabilia of the ships he commanded resides. The house itself was built in 1949 as a duplex. It has survived several modifications to the original floorplan, including the genesis into a single-family dwelling. Its most recent reincarnation came from our desire, as the nextdoor neighbors, to bring it back to something resembling a mid-century style home that fits with the neighborhood, and a dwelling we’re proud to share a boundary with. It has an open concept floorplan, two bedrooms downstairs, two up and another bedroom we converted to a laundry room. There's a spacious game/family room upstairs with a 50' TV and tile floors. The rest is hardwood. The big, screened in back porch is perfect for morning coffee or family gatherings. The home is sited within the award-winning Alamo Heights School District and within walking distance to fine restaurants and shopping. We, the owners, live next door. There is a garage apartment in the back where our 33 year old daughter resides. However, plantings that had not grown yet in these photos have created privacy. We will accept month - to - month or longer and the monthly rent will adjust down for longer stays. We are pet lovers and accept pets but want the right to approve the animals. There is parking for one car available in the driveway. A second car would need to park on the street.

Great home and location!
Wonderful home, location and neighbors! This home fit our needs perfectly. It is a very beautiful home with lots of space to gather. Janet was a very accommodating host. She was very helpful during the booking process and made the extra effort to have the home stocked with everything we could possibly need. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in San Antonio. It was close enough to everything we needed and still provided a great neighborhood for going on walks or playing in the yard.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Grojean

Host profile image
As you can tell, we are dog people with four grown daughters and two dogs. I'm a San Antonio native and my husband has lived here for 30+ years. He came from a military family so he has lived all over before he settled here. I'm recently retired from 23 years at Texas Public Radio and 23 years in commercial radio prior to that. He is an civil engineer with a specialty in handicap accessibility.

Why they chose this property

We've lived next door to "The Captain's Quarters" for over 20 years and realized that for it to experience the love it deserved, we would need to buy it. We did a rather extensive remodel on the house to the standards we would require if we lived there. Its rebirthday was April 1, 2019. Our first renter moved in on April 5.

What makes this property unique

Somewhere between the front porch swing and the spacious screened in back porch is where I would like to sip my coffee in the morning and wine in the evening.
