About this property
Walk to Magnolia • 2 Minutes to Baylor • Huge Private Balcony • Dog Friendly
"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
DOG OWNERS! We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs . A pet fee applies. Dogs must be housebroken, kept off furniture and beds, and may not be left unattended unless crated. Guests are responsible for any pet-related damage, excessive cleaning, or odors. Please contact us before booking if you have questions about your pet.
EV OWNERS! We have a Level 2 EV charger and you're welcome to charge your car as much as needed during your stay at no additional cost!
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.

The condo was beautifully decorated and offered plenty of space. It was exceptionally clean, with thoughtful attention to detail and all the essentials provided, including an abundance of plush towels, comfortable pillows and bedding, and a well-stocked coffee bar. The gourmet kitchen was fully equipped and perfect for preparing meals. Communication with the owner was excellent before and throughout the stay, and the check in process was seamless with easy access to the property.

Thanks so much for allowing us to host your trip to Waco! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! It was absolutely our pleasure to host you!
We were looking for a place for a getaway and this place was perfect. Close to walk to things to see and eat. Or just sit on the balcony and do nothing. The place was clean and really cute.

Thanks so much for allowing us to host your trip to Waco! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope we can have you back again on a future trip!
This place is beautiful, comfortable, and is in walking distance of so many great places, including the Silos. The host was great with communication. We very much enjoyed our stay here.
Excellent, well maintained and beautifully decorated condo that is perfect with two master suites and full functional balcony with furnishings and grill across the back. Beds were comfy and plenty of additional beds and deddingbif needed. Glad to have the covered parking since the weather was stormy. Loved the location, as well, since it's within walking distance of so many restaurants and main attractions. It was such a nice touch that when we arrived the ice maker was full, drinks were set out to make, and coffee was plentiful. Felt like home! We had an amazing stay here and will look forward to staying here in the future!

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks so much for the kind review. It was our pleasure to host you!
We stayed in unit 4 which had a wonderful well equipped private balcony. The apartment was clean, well-lit and well maintained. The kitchen was beautiful, modern looking and well equipped with modern appliances. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also wonderful and had access to the private balcony. The location in downtown Waco was wonderful with just a short drive to the Silos, across the street from Hotel1928 and within easy walking distance of several restaurants. I'd recommend this location to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Waco.

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! It was our pleasure to host your trip to Waco!
This property was amazing! The location is perfect, close walking to everything Magnolia and a cute shopping area. Now for the details. Dedicated covered parking, pretty much two masters because the hall bath opens to the second bedroom, very spacious, very clean, secure entrances, decorated very nicely and TV’s that actually work without having to fiddle with them. And the beds deserve a review of their own! So comfy that I was searching for the tags so I can recreate it in my guest bedrooms at home, one of the best beds I’ve had on vacation. The owner has obviously taken great care to ensure a premium stay. Highly recommend this place!

Wow, thanks so much for allowing us to host your trip to Waco and for the great review! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! It was absolutely our pleasure to host you!
No wonder the reviews are so good here! Such a great place to stay. So clean and perfectly spacious. The large deck was our favorite and were thankful the weather cooperated to make it so pleasant to use. What we didnt know was what a prime location it ended up being. Plenty of cute shops and restaurants, coffee spots nearby and a spa right across the street! We this place.

Our hosts, Robin & Wendy were awesome. The space was very clean and inviting - also decorated beautifully for Christmas. Would definitely book here again if we need a location in Waco again. The balcony was wonderful!
The condo was clean, beautiful and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony patio, plenty of seating. We could walk to sites and restaurants, great location! All in all, would definitely choose this again!!

This is a great home/location. You are able to walk to lots of great spots from the home. The Silos, Dr Pepper Museum and tons of restaurants. Especially loved the patio, the weather was perfect for hanging out in the mornings and evenings.

Thanks so much for allowing us to host your trip to Waco! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! In the future, please let me know if any of the surrounding venues have music that is a disturbance. The Waco police department has begun issuing citations and making them lower the volume; we just have to call and report it. Thanks again for letting us host your trip!
Great time, very nice place, enjoyed the stay & easily centered in Waco to go where you needed to go without any issue’s

About the host
Hosted by Robin Harris
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.
