    This is an awesome house. It was perfect for our family of 8 ( 4 adults and 4 kids). It is in a great location and had everything we needed. We will stay here the next time we are in town.

    We stayed here during my son’s graduation from Baylor. I wish we would have found this place sooner in his college life. Great place to stay. Well updated. A little Waco Fixer Upper charm style home. Great layout for a family including my elderly parents. I would highly recommend.

    My girls and I had a bachelorette weekend here and this host was AMAZING to work with! They allowed us to check in early which I have not seen before when booking through VRBO. The house is GORGEOUS! We had no complaints with this home and the process with the hosts. We love the location in regards to distance to downtown and the zoo. My husband and I are talking about staying here sometime. We loved how cute and simple it was. Highly recommend booking here for your getaway in Waco! Sooo many places to sleep and the comfiest couch ever!

    We had a great stay at the Joy House. Communication prior to the trip was great, and the check-in process was very smooth. The house was clean, secure, and comfortable; it was exactly what we were looking for. We would not hesitate to stay here again, and we highly recommend this to other people. Thank you very much.
