Location cannot be beat
A group of girlfriends and I did a ladies weekend of shopping and celebrating, using Charmaine’s property as our homey hub. We were less than ten minutes from great attractions and restaurants such as Magnolia, Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, Fabled Bookshop, Hecho en Waco, and Pivovar. The kitchen was the best feature of the house, accommodating our morning coffee chats and the cooking we did. The island is huge and there were eight of us. The queen beds were very comfortable as well. A few things to be aware of: the stairs were crafted a hundred years, so use caution. The showers in one or two of the bathrooms are more ideal for nimble people, whose height is between 5 feet to 5 feet 11 inches 😂 They are claw foot tubs converted into showers. More cute than functional, but we managed. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.

Space enabled a memorable weekend!
This old house has character, creaking stairs included (that's a plus - if you grew up with them, you know what I mean), and lots of comfortable common space that was a wonderful gift for extended family members to gather and visit after a family wedding. Everyone slept well, all was in good order, and communication with the owner was simple, straightforward, prompt and helpful. A lovely weekend enhanced by the provision of this home!

Nostalgia
This was an annual sibling trip along with spouses - had a wonderful time! This house reminded us of our growing up in an older home on Tres Palacios Bay. This house has been beautifully restored by Fixer Upper. We especially enjoyed the front porch and were amused when a wine tour bus stopped for about 5 minutes as the house was on their tour route. The location is excellent and very convenient to the fine restaurants we dined at.

Great Family Reunion Spot!
We had a family birthday celebration for a family member who lives in Waco and rented two adjacent houses from Charmaine. This house was the perfect place to get together to visit, play games and put puzzles together! It was also close to sites to go see. :) It worked out perfectly for the group! Thanks Charmaine!

Loved this property!
This house was absolutely perfect for our girls getaway weekend! The location was close to all the things we were wanting to do without being too busy. We loved how many bathrooms there were! The third floor stairs are a little sketchy lol Beware of them after you've had a mimosa or two! The kitchen and living room were spacious and fit us all well. When we first arrived we were slightly taken aback by the surrounding neighborhood however we quickly realized it was all ok! Parking was a bit of a trick at times but we made it work! Our host was kind and responded quickly to our questions just before we checked in. Overall we loved it and would recommend for any large girls group getaway for sure!

We wanted the full Fixer Upper experience. As a group of 8 adults, this house had plenty of room and everything we needed. We loved getting to stay in the "Catastrophe" house from Season 1 Episode 2. Charmaine was a delight to work with and so welcoming. We would definitely come and stay again.

The home is unique and spacious. It has all you need for an extended stay and rooms for everyone. The neighborhood has had a downturn but we had no problems at all. We enjoyed evenings watching passersby from the porch. We would stay again for sure.

Family celebration.
Please do not make the mistake we made. We rented this house a week ago (mid July) for my family to celebrate my husband’s 80th birthday. Many weeks of planning went into this weekend.We rented this house so all my family could be together (since we live in different cities). The description says 5 bedrooms (sleeps 12). The third floor bedroom had no air conditioner (the window unit was broken). The four bedrooms on the second floor were 84 degrees by the first evening. The air conditioner worker came out to check out the units and said the units are not adequate to cool the house when we have 100+ degree days. The owner offered, late in the evening to move us to two houses. The whole point was to be together. Four adults slept on a blow up mattress and couch on the first floor. Our Granddaughter and her family couldn’t stay because it was too hot for the baby. We only stayed one night. The owner gave a partial refund for the second night, but that does not make up for the time we lost celebrating this milestone. I would not recommend renting this house in the hot summer months. Nice place except for the air conditioning, that is why I gave it a 3 rating. Phyllis

Fixer upper in the ghetto
After years of worldwide VRBO rentals, we are forced to leave our first negative review. The home was clean and the living areas were nice, unfortunately the bathrooms and bedrooms were in need of significant work and the neighborhood is simply unsafe. We left after one night due to the gang-like activity well into the night. This is a hard pass.
