Husband booked for us - Wife leaving the review
My girls and I had a bachelorette weekend here and this host was AMAZING to work with! They allowed us to check in early which I have not seen before when booking through VRBO. The house is GORGEOUS! We had no complaints with this home and the process with the hosts. We love the location in regards to distance to downtown and the zoo. My husband and I are talking about staying here sometime. We loved how cute and simple it was. Highly recommend booking here for your getaway in Waco! Sooo many places to sleep and the comfiest couch ever!

Outstanding stay
We had a great stay at the Joy House. Communication prior to the trip was great, and the check-in process was very smooth. The house was clean, secure, and comfortable; it was exactly what we were looking for. We would not hesitate to stay here again, and we highly recommend this to other people. Thank you very much.
