This place was wonderful!! Host was very attentive and kind and will go out of their way to make sure your stay is great! Beds were super comfy, kitchen was stocked and it was the perfect accommodation for our weekend. Just FYI, if you are staying over a Friday and Saturday Eve….and plan to be in bed before 2am….theres a bar across the street that plays music extremely loud….if you are a light sleeper….it could be an issue for you. We called management and they filed a noise complaint, but they didn’t adjust the volume and it kept us up until they closed. Management was very apologetic, but it’s the city of Waco’s responsibility to get control of noise ordinance! Still giving a 5 star because the property itself is perfect!!!

We stayed at this condo for a family wedding in town. What stood out? The condo is beautiful with a lovely view and super clean. The location is perfect with lots of great restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. One thing to know: if you stay on a Friday and Saturday night and want to sleep between the hours of 10pm-2am, this may not be the place for you. Even with the earplugs and white noise fan provided in our rooms, the music from the bar below may keep you awake. The host was excellent with communication regarding this known issue calling in a noise complaint and noting that the city is in the works to "move the outside band out of downtown."

We had a wonderful stay at this modern downtown condo during our daughter’s Baylor orientation. The space was stylish, comfortable, and perfectly located, making our trip truly enjoyable. The host was exceptional—kind, responsive, and incredibly understanding when we had to leave unexpectedly due to a family loss. They told us not to worry about a thing, which meant the world during such a difficult time. We’re so grateful for their compassion and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Overall great stay!

We had a great stay! The condo had a great feel and very comfortable. Perfect size for our family. We loved that it was downtown and close to all the sites we wanted to see. The only reason I did 4 stars for location is because it was right next to a bar that was pretty loud till about 3am but it wasn’t a huge inconvenience for us because us & our kids use sound machines. They did provide ear plugs so you can tell they were considerate of the guests staying there. Overall we loved it and we would definitely stay here again!

Bought some way 2 expensive horses!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this place! Only thing I was disappointed in was the bar below on Friday and Saturday night kept our kids and my husband and I awake till wee hours. Of course that’s not their fault! It was a college football game weekend! Thought it was strange that there was ear plugs in with the delicious provides snacks! Place was beautiful, clean, and cozy!! Stay here../ unless u can’t handle loud young energy starting around 11pm on weekends! Honestly if our kids weren’t with us…… we would have joined them!

Shhhhhh…

I really don’t want to give this condo such a high rating because I’d really like to keep it my secret, but I can’t in good conscience not tell you how amazing it was. It’s even more beautiful in person and is located perfectly downtown in the middle of all things fun and 5 minutes from Baylor. Had it not been 105 degrees, we would have walked everywhere. I did make the mistake of walking down to the river trail close by and came back down 5 pounds from sweat and decided that car life was for me, but it’s absolutely in the perfect location to walk to the Silos, restaurants and bars when it’s not as hot as the surface of the sun. ;) The property manager was incredibly attentive when we had a couple of questions. My 19 year-old daughter begged me to try to purchase the loft for her to live in while at Baylor (as if), so there’s definitely a cool factor that appeals across age groups! There is typical downtown noise at night, but the owner provided earplugs and white noise, so it really wasn’t noticeable. But if you think that might bother you, then don’t stay…please don’t. Because I want to keep this place to myself! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Our family had a wonderful stay in this very nicely appointed place: they thought of everything! I have never seen such a well-supplied kitchen in a rental, with all manner of cookware & dishes & glasses, plus coffee & snacks! Lots of room to spread out & walking distance to The Silos! Highly recommended!

Great property, great location!

My daughter and I loved our stay at the Beary Sweet Magnolia Retreat. We went to Waco for a girls trip and the condo was just what we needed. It was clean and organized with everything we needed. The kitchen has everything you need if you plan to cook. The host even provides 'makeup' towels to remove makeup! The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. It was close to everything we wanted to do in Waco. We were able to walk to all things Magnolia, the Dr. Pepper museum, and many boutiques.

Better than expected

Everything was just better than advertised. Location was in a great area. Parking and entry to the building was easy. The rental itself was well stocked in anything you would need. Plenty of seating spaces and storage areas for clothes. The beds were comfortable. Communication with the managers was great. I will be staying here again if ever in the area.
