The Neighborhood:
About the Neighborhood – Welcome to Waldo!
The Sunnyside is nestled in the heart of Waldo — one of Kansas City's most vibrant and beloved neighborhoods. What began in 1841 as the farmland of Dr. David Waldo has blossomed into a lively, walkable community that still carries the spirit of a "small town within the big city." Waldo offers the perfect mix of historic charm, family-friendly atmosphere, and modern-day conveniences, making it one of KC's most sought-after destinations to live, work, shop, and play.
Today, Waldo is home to more than 600 businesses, with nearly 60% locally owned and operated — meaning you’ll find unique shops, cozy cafés, and beloved neighborhood spots around every corner. It's a community where friendly faces are the norm, tree-lined streets invite exploration, and the energy is both welcoming and contagious.
Location, Location, Location:
The Sunnyside puts you right in the middle of all the action! Within just a short stroll from your front door, you'll find:
CVS Pharmacy (essentials at your fingertips)
Walgreens (featuring an electric car charging station!)
Chipotle (quick and easy bites)
Summit Grill (a local favorite for upscale comfort food)
Pickleman’s Deli (perfect for sandwiches and salads)
Crow’s Coffee (your go-to for a cozy caffeine fix)
The Well (rooftop bar and casual eats)
Lew’s Grill and Bar (a neighborhood institution for game day)
The Neighborhood Café (hands-down one of the best spots for breakfast!)
And if you're looking to venture out a bit farther, Waldo connects easily to the Trolley Trail, giving you scenic access by foot, bike, or scooter to the Country Club Plaza and beyond.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
Waldo is more than just a neighborhood — it's a lifestyle. Spend your days exploring the local farmers markets, grabbing coffee from neighborhood roasters, enjoying a patio lunch with friends, or simply soaking up the community vibe that makes Waldo so special. Whether you're here for a few days or a few weeks, you'll feel right at home in this charming corner of Kansas City.

Repeat guests! This is our second stay here and it fits our needs perfectly! Home is very clean and guest ready. We traveled both times with our dog and home is dog friendly with back yard and walkable park just across the street. Neighborhood is quiet but very close to great local coffeeshop Crow's and other restaurants. Host is quick to respond and helpful.We will be staying again on our next visit to KC. HIGHLY recommend!
Great location. Easily accessible to many places to eat and local stores. Great park across the street. Friendly neighborhood. House was clean and well taken care of. Host was super friendly and very responsive.
Very pet friendly, host very responsive. Home was clean and ready for us. Just my husband and myself and our dog Gertie were guests and plenty of room for us. Loved being right across from a nice park to walk Gertie in an open space, concrete sidewalk around. Neighborhood was walkable and close enough to shops if you would choose to walk, we didn't.
We came in town for a concert & baseball game-and this place was perfect for us! House was clean and had everything we needed. Would reco staying here with a small group!
We loved this property! It's a great find for us. We go to KC a few times a year to visit an elderly parent and usually stay in hotels. It's really nice to be able to spread out at the end of the day. Great location, close to grocery store and restaurants. And for us closer to our family member.
My friend and I were delighted at the cozy ambience of The Sunnyside location. So sparkly clean and decorations made it feel so homey. Great location for us. Comfortable and perfect for girl time! Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you Nancy! We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
We loved the cute house, Cozy in KC! It was the perfect size and location for our trip to KC and a Chiefs’ game. The house was clean and comfortable. This house is across from a park where we saw lots of people and dogs walking. I would recommend it.
We had a really great stay at this property. We both work from home and there was plenty of space for us to do that during the week. The house is conveniently located across from a great park and has a fantastic back yard so our dog loved it. We were in town visiting some friends going through a difficult time. The house offered us everything we needed to be comfortable and productive while tending to our friends on the evenings.
