About this property

*Family-Friendly* Bungalow 214 in McKinney

A historic Craftsman bungalow in downtown McKinney, stocked with everything you need for a stress-free trip with kids, without sacrificing style or comfort for yourself. We're family-friendly through and through, because we know how stressful traveling with little ones can be. Room for the kids to play, and a space you'll genuinely enjoy relaxing in too.

THE SPACE

Cozy and thoughtfully laid out, our home offers 2 private bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Fresh linens and towels are provided, along with 2 queen beds, a mini crib, pack & play, and a bunk bed with twin above and full below. The living and dining space is spacious and perfect for making yourself at home, we've also got a play mat you can lay out for the little ones! Smart TVs are provided in the primary bedroom and living room, and a work-from-home workspace is set up and ready to go in the secondary bedroom.

Note: our home has one full bathroom which is great for smaller families, just worth knowing ahead of time if you're traveling with a larger group.

We've got a well-equipped kitchen so you can easily grab groceries and cook at home, or head downtown to enjoy some of our favorite local spots for food and drink like The Yard, Sugarbacon, Local Yocal, Cadillac Pizza, and The Spoon Cafe.

The home also has a large, private, fully fenced backyard with patio seating, an outdoor grill, and a smokeless firepit - perfect for evenings in. There's also a fun playset the kids will love!

FAMILY-FRIENDLY AMENITIES

We've stocked the home with children's essentials so you can pack less and enjoy more:

- Rolling mini crib that can be moved between bedrooms
- Pack & Play
- Floor mattress available for toddlers
- Changing pad with cover
- Hatch white noise machine
- High chair
- Umbrella stroller
- Night lights
- Childproof cabinet locks
- Childproof door locks available if needed
- Kid's eating utensils and dishes
- Baby bibs
- Step stool
- Toddler toilet seat add-on
- Baby bath
- Books and toys for a variety of ages

Need something specific? Just ask — we'll let you know if we have it or point you to a local rental resource that can help.

We can't wait to host your family — book now and let the little ones (and you!) actually relax on this trip.

GUEST ACCESS

We're located just a half mile south of the historic McKinney square — an easy 10-minute stroll, or a quick drive if you'd rather. Parking at the square can get congested during weekend events, so an Uber or Lyft is a great backup option.

THINGS TO NOTE

- Minimum booking age is 25
- Max 6 guests, up to 4 adults
- Watch your head if you're tall — ceilings are 7'4" in this quaint 1950s bungalow
- We're near a historic event venue, so occasionally on weekends you may hear some music or celebration nearby
- Our bungalow has plenty of original character, including older pipes that work best when you're not running everything at once — one shower, one dishwasher, you get the idea!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The property was phenomenal, but I truly want to harp on the host of the property. It truly is kid-friendly. Everything you could ever need for young kids has already been thought of. From cutlery to toys to even child proofing the house. I would gladly stay at any property by this host again.

The house was definitely a little more worn than the pictures but still cute and the size was great. The area is what I would consider as being “revitalized.” Newer renovated homes mixed with what appeared to be lower income homes. My biggest complaint was the cleanliness, or lack there of. I think the ow owners should reconsider their cleaning crew. The fridge was gross. Sticky with jelly and old condiments. There was toothpaste on the bathroom faucet and hair in the shower. There was also a used towel in the floor of one of the closets. If this issue was fixed, I wouldn’t mind staying here again.

Great stay

We were visiting from Oregon with a 3 and 1 year old. The bungalow had everything we needed for our kids which was such a relief. It was in a great location and so cute. The play structure in the backyard was perfect to burn off some energy before naps. We will definitely try to stay here next visit.

And my kids were obsessed with the playground set outside. My kids were never bored. The owners are so quick to reply if you have any questions and they’re amazing.

This is our second time staying in this property when having tournaments in the area. The property is absolutely fantastic, super cozy, super clean, very comfortable; and the location is unbeatable. 15 to 20 minutes to the fields with plenty of options for dining and shoping also minutes away.

Nice cozy little house

Our stay was great, while it is geared towards a family with small children we had a group of adults and we did just fine. As long as you are not picky about sharing a bedroom anyone could stay here. The owners are very thoughtful with a coffee bar that has several ways to brew coffee. We were left some adult beverages which was a great touch. If I’m in the area again I’ll definitely be looking out for this house again.

A must stay for those with kids!

Easy to find/access, very clean home that has been beautifully remodeled and furnished. My kids are 6 and 3, they loved the bunk beds in the same room as Mom/Dad and all the books and games to play with. I really loved the children table/chairs - it was my 3 year olds favorite spot! The backyard playground was a huge hit too. Fully stalked kitchen to make you feel right at home. Top notch amenities that have been mindfully selected. They were thoughtful and kind. Cant say enough great things! Will highly recommend to anyone that needs a place to stay in Collin County.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hi, we're Jess and family! We're a homeschooling family with two daughters, and hosting Bungalow 214 came from a very personal place. We know exactly what it's like to travel with kids and want it to feel like an adventure, not a logistics puzzle.

When we designed this space, we thought through all the little things that make a trip with kids easier: a crib that rolls between rooms so nap schedules aren't disrupted, a fenced backyard where you can let them run without worrying, and books, toys, and games that you're not stuck entertaining them every second. We wanted a house where parents could actually exhale a little.

We love McKinney's downtown ourselves! It's walkable, charming, and full of good food, so we're always happy to share our favorite spots or point you toward whatever your family's looking for, whether that's the best patio for a slow dinner or somewhere to burn off extra kid energy.

We treat our guests the way we'd want to be treated on a trip with our own girls — welcomed, comfortable, and never like an afterthought. If you need anything at all during your stay, we're just a message away.

Can't wait to host your family!

Why they chose this property

There's no shortage of places to stay in McKinney, but Bungalow 214 was built around one idea: families shouldn't have to choose between comfort and convenience. Most rentals treat kids as an afterthought — a pack & play crammed in a corner, maybe. We went the opposite direction, stocking the home with everything from a rolling crib to a toddler-height step stool, so you can travel light and still have what you need.

You'll also get real character here. This is a genuine 1960s Craftsman bungalow, not a cookie-cutter build, with the charm (and quirks) that come with it. Add a private fenced backyard with a playset, a walkable location half a mile from McKinney's historic square, and a host who actually understands what it's like to travel with little ones, and you've got a stay that's as easy on the parents as it is fun for the kids.

If you're looking for a place that feels like a home away from home, not just a place to sleep, this is it.

What makes this property unique

We are extremely family focused when it comes to this rental property! We've done everything we can to provide all kinds of amenities that will make your stay a b
