About this property

Downtown Waco retreat! 2 blocks to Magnolia Silos! Huge private balcony!

"Time together is a gift"... this quote from Joanna Gaines perfectly encompasses what we want our space to be... a place where friends and family can enjoy time together.

Located on Austin Avenue in the heart of Downtown Waco, we are quite literally steps from an endless selection of shopping, restaurants and entertainment options.

- 5 minute walk - The Magnolia Silos and the Finderey are both a 5 minute walk from our door, with lots of other great shopping opportunities in between.
- 2 miles or less - Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Cameron Park and the Cameron Park Zoo are all less than 2 miles from our property.

You truly cannot ask for a better location in the Waco area.

BEDS to sleep 6 comfortably...
Bedroom 1 - features a king bed, adjoining full bathroom with large soaking tub and direct access to our private balcony. Tempurpedic mattress with down comforter, 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Smart TV w/ full cable & streaming apps.
Bedroom 2 - features a king bed, adjoining full bathroom and direct access to our private balcony. Tempurpedic mattress with down comforter, 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Smart TV w/ full cable & streaming apps.
Beds 3 & 4 - two resort quality tempurpedic rollaway twin beds can be used in the master bedroom or living room. We shopped extensively for a rollaway bed that offered the same comfort as a stand alone. No sore backs or restless nights with these beds... you'll want to bring them home with you!

Our expansive private balcony offers views of downtown Waco and the upcoming Magnolia Hotel. Featuring spacious outdoor living and outdoor dining areas as well as a firepit, it's the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or relax after a day of exploring. In addition to our private balcony, the property also features a shared 3rd floor balcony with an outdoor television and 360 degree views of Downtown Waco.

5★ AMENITIES:
We've paid particular attention to "the little things" that make a stay more comfortable:
- Large king beds w/ high-quality, tempurpedic mattresses in both bedrooms
- 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets
- Premium resort-grade towels
- Dedicated work space with complimentary stationary and post cards
- Expanded charging ports on all bedside tables
- High speed wireless internet
- HD TV's w/ full cable & streaming apps in the living room & both bedrooms
- Complimentary pack & play, high chair seat, children's dishware and utensils, and sound machines to make your little one's stay as restful as yours!
- Propane grill with accessories
- Propane fire pit

PLEASE NOTE! Our condo is located in the heart of Downtown Waco near many restaurants, bars and music venues. You will often be able to hear music from neighboring establishments, particularly on Thurs, Fri and Sat nights. We have provided sound machines in each bedroom for your convenience but if you are looking for absolute solitude during your stay, you might want to consider a property outside of the downtown area.

If you're looking to stay in the heart of what makes Waco so special... great food and shopping, Silobration, farmer's markets, live music, street festivals, homecoming parades and more... you've found the right place!

Please feel free to message me if you have any other questions regarding our property. We would love to welcome you as our guest.

About the host

Hosted by Robin Harris

Host profile image
Robin & Wendy met in 2000 as freshmen at Baylor University. 22 years later, they now have three amazing children (Colin, Ethan and Camryn) who keep them busy with baseball and softball games, theater shows and gymnastics competitions. Avid supporters of Waco and Baylor University, they're excited to share this amazing space and hope it will be a place that others can make lifelong memories together.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. We searched for over three years before we found the right property. This condo is nestled in the historic downtown area along Austin Ave and within a 5 minute walk of Magnolia, the Findery, Union Food Hall and everything downtown has to offer. The huge private balcony sold us on this condo and most guests report they spend as much time relaxing and grilling on the patio as they do inside!

What makes this property unique

In addition to creating a space that would be beautiful and inviting for our guests, we also worked hard to ensure that none of the "little things" that make a stay comfortable were overlooked. Things like the quality of the sheets, duvets and towels, large king beds and high-quality mattresses, Starbuck's coffee, full cable tv and charging blocks in all rooms, and comfortable patio furniture with multiple areas to relaxing. These are just a few examples of the steps we've taken to hopefully exceed our guest's expectations.
