Great Place to Stay

The listing does not do this place justice. It is the perfect location if visiting your student at Baylor or in town for a campus tour. It is easy to get to all of the attractions. The unit was super clean and comfy. Had a great night sleep. I highly recommend staying at 1700 S. Second Street. You will be glad that you did!

Great place across from Baylor poor checkin

This property is perfectly located across from Baylors campus. Able to walk on campus and walk to the baseball stadium to catch a game. Check in process was very dicey. Never received check in information and then had to chase it down from VRBO and the owner. Not the best process. No apology for the process either

Stayed here on a short vacay with my BFF and my son from Nevada met up with us and stayed a few days

We loved this place and was so impressed with the look of the place, the safe feeling we had here and just how easy it was to get in touch with them. I left something important in the apartment and didn't realize it until we were in Austin. My son was still in Waco and I called to see if he could go get it and they were right there to help. I have never stayed in a place that was so well equipped. Cleaning supplies, Oil, balsamic vinegar, cream sugar.... everything you might want. I would stay there again and again!

About the host

Hosted by Jack Thomas Herrin

Host profile image
Born in Waco, raised/ educated in Austin, my family has been in and around the Waco area for generations. I currently "reside" in Colorado but more or less spit my time between the 3. I have a deep passion for everything outdoors, live music and, of course, Baylor University Athletics.

Why they chose this property

Family Owned and operated since construction was completed in the 70's by my Grandfather, Jack Thomas, who was a student athlete and later coached football for the Baylor Bears. Having served and supported the University and the local community for well over 30 years, he had a deep passion for the University and its sense of community.

Once student housing, we have recently remodeled completely and now aim to service the Baylor Community and the Greater Waco area in their accommodation needs while maintaining the sense of community that is our heritage.

Although he is no longer with us it is with great pleasure that we are able to continue serving the Baylor/ Waco community for which I know he'd be proud. we hope to carry on Jack Thomas' s legacy of hospitality and generosity for many years to come.
