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.

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.

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.

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.

Very clean and well-supplied house. Pretty with plenty of natural light. Lots of attention to detail. There were snacks offered and plenty of staples for cooking and coffee-making. Large mirrors in master bed and bath were appreciated as we got ready for our event. There were multiple appliances available, including an iron and even a steamer. Plenty of closet space and hangers. Great location and quiet neighborhood.

We came for a girls trip to hang out by the lake and do the winery about 20 min away! This house was perfect because it was in great location to downtown as well. We loved the patio and enjoyed it so much. House in general is very clean and perfectly accommodated our group! Will for sure be looking for this place again if Waco calls us back :)

The home was so welcoming. Special treats waiting for us. I had asked if a blender was on the premises it was not. By the time we arrived she had bought one for us. There is a reason she is a Premier VRBO!

We were very impressed with this spotlessly clean property next to Lake Waco. Another thing we loved was the secure parking inside the gate at the backside of the home and the beautiful shaded yard with the deck.

Very nice place. The beds were super comfortable and the linens and towels were clean and plenty. The backyard was just what we needed. Would have been nice to have some patio furniture but we made do. Property was close to everything. We would definitely consider this property again for a longer stay in Waco.

The owner did a wonderful job of communicating with us through our entire stay (to include during a 4hr power outage due to a thunderstorm). There are snacks avaliable in the home (popcorn, chips, candy, soda), and the furniture is so cute. You can actually see the lake from the back deck. Some items may be a bit dated (bathroom fan in master makes some wild sounds), the amount of spiders and webs i delt with each morning reminded me a bit of a Stephen King movie, and if you have a long truck, you are not parking out back. But all around this was a great place, incredible location (specific to closeness to downtown), great air conditioning and wonderful views. I was really happy about the quick responses from the owner. She was very easy to work with and as polite as they come.

This house was exactly what we were looking for in Waco. We travel to Waco often, usually staying in hotels. We decided to give this VRBO a shot and we were not disappointed. This house is in a nice neighborhood with quick access to Baylor University and downtown Waco. We felt like we were staying with family, like we were at a home away from home. We are checking our travel schedule now to see if we can book this place again!

Loved it! Comfort and cleanliness.

We had the best time in this Texas-themed home on the west edge of Waco. We could see the lake from the deck of the house, and with a little effort could get to the Lake Waco dam trail. The house was inviting - the children especially enjoyed the chocolates and popcorn! Our dog loved the big back yard. Everything was like staying in a luxury hotel but with the conveniences of a house for our large family. I would definitely be happy to stay here again.

I travel and rent often. I must say this owner pays attention to detail. The house was spotless and Believe me I do not use that term lightly. Great towels, water, soda chocolates and bags of chips waiting for your arrival. All necessities provided. Excellent communication, smooth check in. Has to be the best value for a rental in the area

Superb Lake Waco property

Superb Lake Waco property

The owner,Lindsey, took care of all questions promptly. The rental was immaculate and well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. The walking path along Lake Waco was a pleasant surprise. Lindsey‘s recommendations for dining were most helpful. My family tried many of them and were not disappointed. I’ve used VEBO rentals and this is one of the few I would enjoy again. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Cactus Home

Beautiful Cactus Home

We really enjoyed our stay in the Cactus House! It’s beautiful and spacious inside. It was impeccable and had everything we needed! The only thing I would complain about was the size of the beds. They were more like full size. Only the masters seemed to be a queen size. The other two rooms had the full size beds which only slept one of my very tall teen sons. We had to sleep on the sectional in order to fit a little better. Otherwise our stay was truly excellent!
