Overall it was fine
I would have given 4 stars except the beds were awful, it felt like you were falling in a black hole. Also the neighborhood seemed a bit sketchy, I did not feel comfortable coming back at night alone. But it was clean and well equipped.

Great home, not a great neighborhood.
This is a really cute well-renovated property. It looks like something that The Gaines would have renovated for Fixer Upper. Very nice bathrooms, great bed linens, very clean and updated appliances. They provide toilet paper, bath soap, keurig coffee, etc. Unfortunately it is not in a nice neighborhood. We didn't feel unsafe, but the home next door, for example, is in complete disrepair- very junky. And there was a very unpleasant odor in the home. Not sure if it was just some really strong cleaning product or a mildew/ mold issue, but it was very offensive. It's also farther from Baylor and Magnolia Market than we normally like to stay, but that made it more affordable which was a plus.

New Bed Needed
The property is located in a lower middle-class neighborhood with lots of rentals. Not terrible area but need to be vigilant. It is basically in a suburb of Waco 12 minutes or so from Silos & Baylor University. The house was pretty clean but needed a deep clean of corners, ceilings, baseboards, vents etc. The kitchen was equipped nicely, and the laundry facilities were great. The BIG issue were the beds they were broken down and were like sleeping in a hammock. As a result, my husband's back went out and the put a damper on the trip. A little TLC with new beds & deep clean and the place would be definitely a potential return for us to visit our Baylor Bear.

Comfortable and easy to get to location
The property is cutely updated with a big back yard and quiet neighborhood. The fold out is a full sofa fold out (not just futon) and reports from the teen sleeping there was that it was quite comfortable. Will definitely consider staying again if we head back to this part of Waco.

Just for sleeping
Overall the place was fine, we didn’t spend much time other than sleeping. The outside needs some
Love with the lawn unkept and the backyard not able to be enjoyed. Inside could have been a little cleaner. Finger prints on doors and bathroom cabinets. Yet it did its job by offering a comfy place to retreat after our busy afternoons.

Beautifully renovated home
Beautifully renovated home with everything you need for a nice stay. We really loved watching the cardinals and squirrels in the backyard and being able to cook a meal in the kitchen. The master bedroom bed is comfortable but don't plan on sleeping in the middle as there is a hump. I gave 3 stars for cleanliness because it was clean enough but the bathroom was not fully clean - faucet, makeup mirror and the wall behind the sink were all dirty. The location is centrally located to several restaurants and grocery stores but not very close to Magnolia & tourist things. It's an older, quiet neighborhood and we felt safe. We would definitely stay here again!

Convenient and Beautiful VRBO in Waco
The house was so well done! It's very clean, has many thoughtful items and touches throughout the property - Coffee pods, make-up remover, shampoo and conditioner, etc. This rental made it easy for us to stay in Waco after flying to the area for a wedding. The location is also super convenient to the main areas in Waco. We loved our stay!

Comfortable Home
Sadie's 5 Star Retreat is a welcoming home in a pleasant neighborhood. My husband and I and our adult daughter stayed there to watch the recent eclipse, as well as to do a little local sight-seeing. It was a fun and thoughtful surprise to find 3 pairs of eclipse sunglasses waiting for us in the home. The kitchen is well-stocked and though we didn't make many meals in the house, there were plenty of dishes and pans, as well as a variety of spices. It was great to find bottles of water in the fridge and plenty of coffee (and tea) pods, plus creamers, for our use. The beds in both bedrooms were very comfy. The TVs were a little tricky and time-consuming to figure out, but we managed eventually. Also, we had a bit of a problem with the front door lock, but Michelle responded right away. All in all, I'd recommend staying there. We had a great time.

Perfect escape while our home was being painted!
The house was exactly as pictured. The house appears to have been remodeled and was well appointed. The property manager answered any questions we had promptly. I cannot say the house was sparkling clean, but it was not filthy by any means. I found broken crayons and dust bunnies on the floor, some drips of food or beverage in the refrigerator, and some crumbs in silverware drawer. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glassware, cookware, and utensils. We used only one bedroom and the bed was comfortable. The closet was roomy and stocked with hangers. The master bath was spacious and the shower was great!
My two suggestions would be to give a little more attention to detail on the cleaning and consider adding some grass and landscaping to the front and back yard.
