Being your own WASH CLOTHS as they are NOT provided for you OR be prepared to purchase your own and submit receipt to be reimbursed. What a disappointment. Never have had this happen before. Bathing with hand towels is not my thing.

A very comfortable stay. The home is very clean, rooms are spacious, comfy beds, large kitchen. Large backyard too. Neighborhood is not very walkable, must cross a busy street to get to the lake and side street is busy too, but we were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Waco holiday

The property manager was very accessible by text. We were able to access the home early and we found a very welcoming home including Christmas trees lighted. I might suggest that the host have some extra garbage bags on hand as well as some travel size laundry detergent

Well we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at the cactus casa. Beautiful location with decorative landscape and views. Lindsey is a great resource. She answered any and all of our questions in a timely manner. And made sure that our needs were met. I highly suggest to stay here.

Wonderful property in Waco

This property was perfect for our needs. We were in Waco for the Half Ironman Triathlon. We had two couples staying here. Great location. Roughly 2 blocks from entrance to the walking/biking trail over the dam at Lake Waco. We will use this property again.

Baylor Family Weekend Visit

Perfect stay for a family of 5 with a dog & cat! House was exactly as pictured and extremely clean, you would never know pets are allowed in the house. Beds were comfortable which included a comfy roll-a-way bed as well. Although we did not utilize, the kitchen was nice and seemed well stocked. Big yard, perfect for dog to run around in. Something that came in helpful was the basket of medicines/first aid that I found by accident in the bathroom cabinets but low & behold we had a unexpected need for antibacterial ointment and it was in the basket! Easy, 15'ish minute drive to Baylor University area.

Loved this home

We absolutely loved this home and the cute street it is on. We moved our daughter into Baylor for her freshman year and this home made the transition easier with being able to relax and visit with comfort and get all of her supplies together. The air conditioning worked amazingly, the beds were all very comfortable and the home was clean. Very impressed.

Great stay

The house appears just as it’s listed. The area is nice and truly 15min from downtown or anything Baylor related. We stayed 5 days and ran out of toilet paper which the homeowner says that “they don’t supply for the whole stay”, which is my only negative.

Clean home with a great yard.

Everything was as advertised. The house was clean and all amenities were present. During the stay we had a few questions and they were answered quickly. We enjoyed the total eclipse and then had a barbeque out back. Lots of fun and would stay again. Quiet neighborhood-plenty of parking and across the street is Lake Waco with a wonderful walking trail.
