Cute and convenient!

very nice place to stay, construction going on next door was slightly annoying and television picture was poor but over all this was a nice place to stay that was close to everything. Waco is a lovey town with great restaurants. Will stay here again if we com back

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Mar, 2020
Hi Wendy, We're so sorry for the construction noise, it's rare, but sometimes unavoidable as the campus is growing at such a rapid rate. We also apologize for the TV quality, we've had terrible issues with Grande cable and are switching to Satellite (Direct TV) with every channel available in full HIGH DEFINITION with NFL Sunday Ticket. We hope you'll give us a try again in the future. Thanks, Jack

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!

Perfect!

Great place to stay! We had a small issue with the downstairs toilet backing up. It was taken care of promptly and Ashley was very gracious about it. If you are visiting Baylor, this is the perfect apartment to stay in. We were just a few miles from many of the best "things to do in Waco." We have 4 small dogs and there were dogs in several of the other apartments had dogs also, never herd a peep from any of them. perfect sound proofing and great parking!

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.
